    Kind of looks like a dakota on steroids with those fenders!

    Personally, I don't think that's a good thing. Best of luck to GM with their styling. I've HATED everything they've done for the past 10 years or so.

    I don't think it's good either. The dakota's are ugly as sin, and they don't sell as well now either.

    20 years ago, I wouldn't even look at a F*rd or Dodge or ???? product. Now, it'd take a lot to get me into anything GM offers. I'm just not a fan at ALL. (My Jeep is mostly GM, though) They've got some of the best motors out there, but I just hate what they're wrapped in.

    The nose looks a LOT better, particularly on the charcoal (red looks wrong some how), but then they go and screw up the sides... :(

    Looks like I'll be keeping my '02 for a long time.

    Head Lights look like they come off the new SD concept and the fenders from Nissan Titan/Armada/Pathfinder

    Surprised nobody has brought up the crome bumper with body colored ends, kind of like the 06 Dodges. Does not look good on either brand of truck. Looks more like an after thought. Once again you have to wonder if the GM designers ever get out of the office and visit the real world! Oh well, when is the next redesign due?

    As far as I know at this moment, their 1/2 tons should look just like their 3/4 tons.

    the nose does look sweet, but the rear fenders don't match the front!

    and something seems out of proportion between the cab and the bed.....can't put my finger on it though.

    it looks like the bed is a bigger cousin to the colorado bed, with odd little humps, maybe the bed got smaller inside or something,

    dont you love the cryptic way they pre-release the new models

    There is a decent article in the current Truck Trend issue about the new GM's. They dont seem to bad. They are offering two different dashes.....the Work Truck and LTZ. The work truck is the dash 99% of us would want. Its well laid out and looks liek it should belong in a truck. The LTZ dash is an exact copy of the Tahoe/Yukons.
