Anyone seeing the new Tahoe on the road today?

I saw one at lunch, it looked a lot better than I thought it would. In the pictures it looked really bland, but I could easily tell it was a new 'hoe from the other side of the intersection (and this is in suburban SUV hell, to which I contribute ).

When I was in Detroit for the unveiling, I saw probably almost a dozen new Tahoes and an Escalade or two. Also saw a Jeep GC SRT8.

The new Tahoe definitely looks sharp on the road.

I have not seen one yet. Large SUVs seem to be losing popularity around here but none the less, there are enough of them still out there that I'm surprised that I haven't seen one yet. Maybe our area doesn't have any yet or maybe I've just missed 'em.

Threxx, they aren't for sale yet, which would explain why they aren't being seen in most areas.. I saw a bunch in the Detroit area because they are being used as PEP (company) cars, and some of the ones I saw could also have been development vehicles.

New Tahoe or Trailblazer SS

Thats the million dollar question for me right now. Slow and pretty, or fast and ugly.

You really think the TB SS is ugly? I can see being that harsh to the interior (though I personally stop short of calling it "ugly"). But I think the outside is awesome looking, and easily better than the SRT8 Grand Cherokee.

I saw a couple of TB SSs on the road Sunday and yesterday, and they caught my eye quite easily. I think they are extremely sharp in SS trim.

To each his own, though.

Our local dealer some how got like 5 in last week, I did a double take as I was driving by and saw the new Tahoes on the front line. I had to turn around a get a closer look. I was very impressed with the new Tahoe.

I've seen several, but I don't know if they're sold units, or what. Saw a truckload on the way out of town on the way back from the airport today, so they're being shipped for sure.

Yeah, its that interior that bothers me. I'm selling the Evo for either the new Tahoe or a Trailblazer SS. Coming from an Evo, I'm leaning toward the performance of the SS, but I'm also coming from an Evo, so it would be great to have a nice interior for once.

Haven't seen one, and I am not losing any sleep over it either.

Re: Anyone seeing the new Tahoe on the road today?

I've been seeing Tahoes and Yukons on the roads around my area for a couple of months now. Something's not quite perfect on the facias of either (the Chevy's too squinty and the GMC's too upright), but overall they're nice improvements over their predecessors.
