Is it just me, or does the Avalanche/Tahoe/Suburban front end look much, much better than the Silverado front end? That said, the picture shown for the Avalanche is not very flattering.

[Buick61]

Wait, I thought the HHR SS was dead?

[colt20]

I have had 6 new body style trucks since 07 and will be get the 7th one sometime this week. I prefer the styling and have many compliments on them. I also like the tahoe but the truck has a more rugged look.

[ausrutherford]

Ok, this one im positive on, the HHRss did get killed. Something tells me someone missed the memo.

[Quixote88]

The truck lineup is first class. I love the Avalanche, though that photo looks photoshopped. The pickups are as good as it gets. The Traverse, like all the Lambdas, is top notch... And the new Equinox could be a game changer. Excellent lineup.

[Firebird00]

Why can't they put the metal bumper on the front of the 1500 instead of that ridiculous plastic painted one? Some of us take trucks off the pavement and when we drive through grass, bushes etc... it scratches the paint off the bumper making it look like crap. At least the Sierra got it right with a real truck bumper.

[colt20]

Think that bumper is changing in the near future

[Buick61]

Why are the pictures show Celsius and KM/H?

Probably as again, it was listed as a 2010 model.

You don't like the acres of chrome on the front corners of that Silverado HD? I wish that GM just stuck with the one common front end like they used to, and used what the Tahoes/Suburbans get for the trucks.

[CJ Thunder]

I don't think you need an HD to tow a bobcat.

Heh. Some folks around here may think it strange, but I like the Sierra front end, but not the Yukon/XL front end. If, for example, GM were to combine the Chevy truck/GMC lines, I'd most like to see the Tahoe/Suburban front ends for the SUVs and the Sierra front end for the trucks.

[Rocket 88]

This would have been more exciting if I hadn't just looked at the GMC lineup. Now I feel like I'm watching a repeat.
