Chevrolet at SEMA 2014

I like the Colorado Nautique, performance con, and Silverado Polaris a lot. Camaros look great too. Nice to see the blue devil back in business!

It's not as integrated as Avalanche...but honestly it's actually not a bad idea IMO. I'd rock it.

When I saw the High Desert truck earlier today, my first thought was "Avalanche Lives!"

Some cool stuff and ideas!

Yes avalanche back with some bed space wasting 'technology' - midgate thing was genius and this makes up for it with those chunks of plastic in the bed.

Like the Polaris just because it's the only non Crew Cab. I'd have sour grapes about lack of RC if they hadn't had a RC SS at SEMA last year.

Without a mid gate this isn't an Avalanche replacement. I have an '03 Av that I'm holding together with duct tape and baling twine because it is literally 2 vehicles in one and so damn useful. Just brought 16' baseboard (windshield to tailgate) home from the lumber yard.

The Polaris one is awesome 10/10 would drive...just needs a Polaris snowmobile in back instead. The High Desert I could 100% see as a production deal to capture RamBox buyers and to get back Avalanche people.

It's interesting to note that GM actually trademarked "High Desert" last month...maybe that package is heading for production?

Silverado High Desert Concept =Someone at Chevrolet really wanting to build a new Avalanche!

Just a bunch of vinyl wrap in ugly locations for most of these.... The Avalanche sides are a must for the Colorado and Silverado though. Get those into high production now!

They should do a survey and ask what would you rather see back in the Lineup 2 door/4 door BOF SUV (Blazer) or the Avalanche/Escalade EXT.
I bet they could sell 20,000-38,000 a year with the right options. This was the ultimate SUV/Pickup truck remedy and I think sales stumbled because the GMT-900 got stale and they did not really do much for it over the last 3 years besides the last edition special model.

I would imagine that this is coming shortly for 2015

ugh i can't believe that Chevrolet just gave the Camaro a mustache as it's Commemorative Edition. It has to one of the worst all time special edition muscle cars. I am huge fan of Camaro and have loved all the other special editions even the Transformers and HotWheels but this is disappointing.

Probably. It's their best Silverado concept and I'm a big fan of the wheels.

Why does every press photo of the Colorado have bicycles in the bed? We get it, it's a lifestyle truck... talk about overkill. Next thing you know, they'll be bowtie motifs all over the interior.

The Tahoe Premium Outdoors concept looks good in that color, as does the Suburban.

Tahoe looks like Dark Adriatic, and the Suburban color I'd like to see reach production. In the press photos it's reminiscent of Moonlight Silver by BMW and some Bentley colors... assuming it's a semi-pearlescent kind of silver rather than just another shade of tan.

Besides those and the Commemorative Camaro badge, everything else sucks and is boring.

I like all of these and the sinkhole ZR1.

Not impressed with any of the Camaros (except for the COPO), Colorado's, or the Paul Stanley Vette.

GM needs to put this on the new Suburban, Denali XL, and Escalade EXT's ASAP....I wish I could chop a picture of it myself. GM please cut to the chase and build a new Avalanche, the parts are already there.

It would be a lot easier to stick it in the bed of a Silverado or Sierra like done on the SEMA vehicle than an SUV.

The possibility of ordering one of those cool avalanche-style bed covers is the greatest thing about this sema offering.
