I would never drive mass transportation. I bet it pays a fraction of what I make now ...

You must be net police on automaker's payroll.

Besides, the same argument can be said about muscle and sport cars.. who needs that power? Maybe we should all be driving hybrid diesel cars.. or better yet, mass transportation...
Well put. How about this combination: you need a large SUV to tow a trailer with your MUSCLE car to the racetrack? He he he.

You do make a good point. We don't shout exotic / sports cars out to the racetrack, and I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with SUVs being off-road vehicles only.

I like it alot better than the current avalanche. The current one with cladding is terrible and the one with out cladding is ok. But the current one needs larger wheels/tires. That truck look sso big, but than he wheels look so small.

As for why I have a Tahoe? My wife was complaining that there isn't enough elbow room in our old Blazer. I can tell you that it has come in handy with moving my oldest off to college, and hauling around the kids' basketball teams. However as little as I use the third row seat, a pickup bed in back would be more practical. While I like the look of the original Avalanche, I don't need (or want) 4WD, so I don't necessarily like the aggressive look of the side cladding. This is actually more my style, but its more Tahoe XUT than Avalance IMO.

What I really want/need and would by is a Tahoe with a third row seat that folds flat, PLUS the retractable roof & rear divider of the Envoy XUV...

Give me that Chevrolet, and I'll buy it in a heartbeat!
