Sorry for the complete cynicism, but the Cheyenne is getting WAY too much press and I'm afraid it will go into production. That thing should have been slowly and painfully massacred in a computer simulation before it was ever built. I am totally astonished at the utterly pathetic, pretentious, counter-functional, excessive, and downright misguided designs that people are drawn to these days. We're talking about a truck! Does a truck really need those pretty soft curves and those retarded dope-slapped looking headlights and a rounded off bed with a half-suicide door and taillights higher than the roofs of cars? I think it's almost a sick joke someone's playing at GM and everyone's falling for it in droves. It's like people are saying "As long as it has 30 inch flower-pattern wheels and sits 9 feet off the ground and gets 3.2 MPG and looks like Mickey Mouse and has no rear-view-mirror visibility and Martha Stewart approves of its trendiness, I don't care about anything else. I want to ride up high like everyone else and be safe and have my Baby-On-Board triangle, so blindfold me and tell me where to sign."

Also I totally dismiss the "it doesn't photograph well" argument because I've seen videos of it and they are worse than the photos. I'm convinced it's an inside joke that went awry.

Argh.. make it stop, please.. DOWN WITH THE CHEYENNE.

The Cheyenne won't get made but some of the technology from it will make it into 2005 Silverados like the side doors on the bed and hopefully the supercharged 500HP 6.0L V8
