Re: Meet Your 2009 Chevrolet Truck Lineup
I couldn't agree more, that's why I bought a new GMC Sierra Denali when I traded my 2004 Chevy Silverado! Whoever "designed" that bumper should be fired and sent to work on designing the next ugly as sin Tundra.

Re: Meet Your 2009 Chevrolet Truck Lineup
FenwickHockey65,
I'm sorry, I figured you had a normal length garage and were assuming the Traverse is much larger than it really is. Instead, it sounds like your garage is a bit smaller than normal. |

Re: Meet Your 2009 Chevrolet Truck Lineup
So GM doesn't touch the interior of the Colorado/Canyon for yet another year!! Even the Express has the cruise control on the steering wheel versus a stalk with a proper "cancel" button. I guess that's because the base platform is the Silverado HD. With all of the other Colorado/Canyon changes I would have thought a few interior tweaks could have come online given it's the 6th year of production. At least my fairly new 2008 won't look old in comparison

Re: Meet Your 2009 Chevrolet Truck Lineup
OMG, that Traverse is HOT !!!
GM will have a huge hit on it's hands with this, soccer moms all over America will be wanting one to haul the kids to soccer/schools/shopping. These smart mid-size SUV's have been a huge hit in Australia, seems like almost every family has one nowadays, and now with the fuel crisis, I can see families in America downsizing from Tahoe's/Explorer's into the Traverse. Nice work GM, now work on your small cars to compete with the Japanese brands. Last edited by Patto1 : 06-14-2008 at 11:48 PM. |

Re: Meet Your 2009 Chevrolet Truck Lineup
Anyone else notice that the Traverse looks really good compared to the old models GM is still peddling? I mean, the Trailblazer's interior is hideous! The Colorado looks really clumsy in that exterior shot as well. Can't we at least get a reskin?
I sore hope GM is putting plans together now regarding the small twin pickups. A quality redesign now could be the shot in the arm the truck division needs. |

The SS is the best thing about the Trailblazer- and it's worth buying. I'd like to have seen a Z71 version as well. It's a decent chassis with moderate off road capability, low range four wheel drive, and a 6,000 lb towing capacity. Ford even updated the Explorer since then. The problem is that the Trailblazer can't be a minivan. It's too heavy...but that body on frame chassis can be a real bonus if you have a trailer to tow. Expedition or Tahoe drivers may need to step down into a mid sized truck....but still need four wheel drive and a decent towing capacity. The Toyota 4runner and Explorer or the only real choices now. The Trailblazer should be as well. Last edited by member12 : 06-16-2008 at 08:56 AM. |
