I'm not sure what to think yet. Right now I think it would look better with the Tahoe front end. But it may grow on me.

It looks alright, Chevy is playing it safe design wise... but I think it would look better without all the chrome. I'm not liking the bowtie in the middle of the tailgate just because it reminds me of the new F150's.... but it may look better in colors other than red.

The bed looks a little too much like the Colorado's and it doesn't look too proportinate in size to the rest of the truck.

It looks like a Clean Cut, Nissan pawn, bitch boy metro truck.

It looks alright, but the mid 90's Chevy's where the best looking trucks ever IMO.
Its all in the frontend on a truck. All GM do is change the headlights some, and add the latest features.

I think the bed looks good. If you look closely it matches the front fenders. I think the crew cab makes the proportion look a little off though.

I think I'm glad I didn't wait and instead bought a '06.

I've heard rumors that the flared fenders could be a Z71/4WD only option. I think this truck is begging for a lift and some tires.

I'm curious to see what the GMC looks like.

I'd almost speculate to say that the pictured vehicle would be the GMC version with all the chrome, like how the sierra has it now compared the silverado. i think the silverado would then have a body color grille area or atleast a blacked out area

Most of the truck guys (including me) don't like it too much....
