GMI Exclusive: 2007 GMC Sierra Shot

GMI Exclusive: 2007 GMC Sierra Shot
March 28, 2006
www.gminsidenews.com





GMInsidenews has just purchased the latest shot of the upcoming 2007 GMC Sierra. The mule shown is obviously a regular-car short-bed model, however the shot shows some details about the front-end that other shots have failed to do so. One of those details being the HUGE grille that the new Sierra is sporting.

Expect the new Sierra to show it's face sometime toward the second-half of 2006 (maybe this year's Texas State Fair?). The GMT-900 product will be powered by GM's new variants of their Vortec engine line-up, including the 320 HP 5.3L V8 and 6.0L V8.

Re: GMI Exclusive: 2008 GMC Sierra Shot

**************** the front is LOW!!!!!!! Front seems to hang closer to the ground then the Tahoe does.... let's hope that is not production.

And that GMC lettering is HUGE, you could see that from space.

Re: GMI Exclusive: 2008 GMC Sierra Shot

When I see that I think: Graphyte Concept + Terradyne Concept = A Little Bit of the GMT 900 SUVs = 2007 Sierra.

Do a chop, and you'll see the math is right.

Re: GMI Exclusive: 2008 GMC Sierra Shot

Very cool find. That's the best Sierra shot yet. Those headlights are either going to be very cool or very ugly.

BTW, I know it was obvious in previous shots, but I just have to say thank you GM for making the regular cab regular and not totally bizare and Isuzu van looking like Ford did.

Re: GMI Exclusive: 2008 GMC Sierra Shot

I hope you didn't pay over $50 for the picture.
The paint job on that puppy is the worst I've ever seen.
I could do flat black better with a can of Krylon.
I guess I expected better exterior fit and finish from GM.

Is it just me or are there some serious wheel flares hiding under that camo?

I hope you are right, I always loved GMC's styling direction w/ those concept trucks, looked like nothing else out there!

That's cause you're not looking at paint, you're looking at black vinyl camo.

Re: GMI Exclusive: 2008 GMC Sierra Shot

I hope that 2wd.... Other wise I don't see anything that makes this that much better then the compition... I need to see the head lights and tailights to get a real feel for the truck....

Haha...that's an ambient air temp sensor. But traffic clearing machine guns would be good too.
