Thanks for the photos...

Yeah, saw these already. There were a couple more shots of each, I think. Decent re-design from what I can see, though I saw nothing wrong with the old ones.

I think it looks terrible.

Remember, GM is banking the entire company on these fullsize trucks. They should be segment leaders including the styling. It looks like a giant Toyota Highlander instead of a Chevrolet Tahoe to me.

GM created a ground breaking look with the Equinox, it baffles me they would not adapt many of those cues to the redesigned Tahoe to set it apart. If it looked like a big Equinox, it would have real road presence and give Chevrolet it's own unique look much like the 1994 Ram did for Dodge trucks.

As it is it looks vanilla and Toyota makes better vanilla. Much better vanilla.

It looks like a big, bland, cardboard box. It's hardly the exciting or groundbreaking design GM needs to ensure it's a bonafide home run.

Fuel prices are skyrocketing and GM is betting the entire farm on this thing. It baffles me they wouldn't give it any presence which would help it overcome the sting of fuel costs let alone the competition.

The Equinox is an interesting, unique design. The new Tahoe looks thoroughly forgettable and uninspired.

You must also be of the opinion GM should have never given Cadillac it's edgy new look starting with the CTS which helped revive the entire brand and put it on people's radar screens.

When styling turns heads, it's a huge help in making that vehicle desirable. There is nothing about the look about the Tahoe that makes it coveted. That's pretty damn important when fuel hits $3 per gallon and it guzzles it.

Tahoe looks sharp! Looks like the Ridgeline and/or a Range Rover. Definitely some modern styling that really updates the truck!

Yeah that thing sounds pretty nasty. I like the Tahoe, the Equinox is ugly, Not cutting edge like the the Cadillacs. The Cadillacs LOOK good!

Based on the picture I have to agree with Trishield on the Tahoe. Curious to see the GMC version and what they will do.
