Re: GM introduces redesigned pickups early

So do we have a timeframe for when they should hit the lots? For some reason I was thinking they should have been there by now. But im sure I was confised.

From perusing various websites, it would appear that I am not the only one who feels the Silverado looks odd.

Look at the truck objectively, and tell me that it is not at least a little odd looking. There is alot of bulging going on................ yet the front is all flat with oversize headlights.

However, I suppose you think they are all beautiful.............. including the longbed standard cab that they showed pics of.

A GM fan thinking the Silverado is beautiful. Gee, what a surprise.
Wait! Are you saying the Ford is good looking!?! I thought the previous version was a much better looking design than the current... for both trucks. But as a comparison the Ford's got far uglier than the GM's did.

So I guess that means Ford wins again.

Later, Lutz issued a stop work order on the US Zeta program to rein in escalating costs of the program. But it was never a secret that GM's new large trucks were going vto be out earlier than planned.
That makes the news make a little more sense, then...moving up a launch date is no easy task and it was hard to believe they just suddenly made that decision.

As I’ve said in other threads; there is nothing more subjective than “looks”.

Personally, I though the previous generation of F150 (of which my Dad bought two) was very ugly (although I loved the look of the 250/350 Super Duty) and that the current generation is light years ahead in looks. That said, I think Dodge has the best looking trucks out there right now…I don’t dislike the looks of GM’s offerings but I’d say they’ve been pretty bland for a while now. To each his own.
