Re: TCC tests Tahoe... and comes away impressed

The more I see the Tahoe ('07), the more I like it. Very nice, sleek look to it. Some might say bland (and in fact have), but I think it looks very slick and classy. Very much a product of the 21st century, which for Trucks and SUV's is a good thing (to me at least).

The other important thing about this truck is that its quite aerodynamically efficient for an SUV... drag coefficient of 0.36 is first rate. It should be easier on the fuel as well as theoretically quieter on fwy running.

Just because it doesn't appear to have sleek curves anywhere does not imply it's a poorly designed/executed vehicle. In fact, some drag in the right areas gives the vehicle some stability.

Another positive thread (IMO) with constructive input... although the author goes on to say he prefers the Expedition based on IRS availability.

Definately true . Many top speed runners at the Bonneville Salt Flats still use the 3rd gen Camaro/Trans Am because its more aerodynamic than the wedge looking 4th gen .
