He's a flippin genious!

GM is looking to make quite the splash in '06. I have a feeling the funding for many vehicles later in the decade will be paid for in '06.

This is good news. Only thing is, I hope things like the 6spd auto and hybrid powertrains get pushed ahead along with it.

Still, why such a large amount of time between the Avalanche and Silverado/Sierras? Seems odd.

The Avalanche is a modified Suburban. Even though it has a bed - it is not directly related to the trucks.

[Shantanu]

Fvck Yeah, that's what I like to see! Instead of being the company that delays it's products, GM has got to be the company that brings out its stuff ahead of schedule. Good news.

[Northstar]

Good. It's also good to see the crew cabs coming out first, as they've been hot sellers for the F-150 and Ram.

This is good to hear. The sooner the better. I hope the Avalance and Silverado have a more agressive front end than the Tahoe. The Tahoe looks fine for the soccer mom demographics, but looks wimpy for a truck and the heavily main demographic there. Mark

A smart move..

[I hope GMRULES again]

Great news. :)

If production of the Tahoe did indeed start last Monday why didn't we hear about it?

Yeah, right....the puffy Buick blob also known as the '07 Yukon....REAL aggressive :rolleyes:

If anything, the GMC makes the Chevy look cool and crisp now. Edited December 9, 2005 by caddycruiser

I saw the Tahoe at the Phoenix Auto show. I looks 300 % better in person. Anything but a soccer mom's car. Can't wait for mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest Josh]

The Tahoe is indeed in production. You won't hear anything until they are shipped so they can be called "2007" model year vehicles.

[turbo200]

wow, nice sig Northie.
