I'm diggin' the front end, but the sides(especially shape of the windows) looks a little *****-ish to me, dunno why?

Holy freaking **** man. I just drove them all over Balch Springs (shitty *** roads) and the vehicle is remarkable. Drives like a damn car, and also never realized what a piece of **** all the competition was. The for Expedition sorry if you drive one, the car handles bumps worse than a ******* HMMWV and Toyota, no get up and hella body roll. All competition also gets much worse fuel economy. This is an exciting time at the dealership, waiting for next Tuesday.

Too little too late. The interior is better for sure and I like the front end but thats about where it stops.
Visted the Arlington plant several months ago so the engineers and such could listen to our feedback. I think they were about to throw me out.

-from rear looks like a overgrown Explorer
-rear cover for spare tire lock no feasable way to take off without sticking a key of knife to pop it off. People will be scratching paint trying to figure it out.
-3rd row seats garanteed future law suits. I have average size feet at 10 1/2 size. If I have my heel all the way against the front of my seat then my shoe barley clears if someone closes the 2nd row seat down. A child or an adult not paying attention is going to end up with a smashed foot or broken tows
- strut resticts hood from going up high enough. Tall person will be hitting his head on the outside corners of the hood.
I could go on and on but go see what your own impressions are.
I've have GM in my blood my whole life. Been losing too much of that blood lately. Ive lost all hope of GM getting it back together anytime soon.

Well if you don't have down syndrome you can reach underneath the bumper and pop it out from the inside, and with onstar who the **** cares about how to get the spare down. Don't you ******* sell cars? What about road side assit. Maybe you test the competition they are no better on the third row. The majority of the people that I have sold to take the captains seat in the second row and leave the third row completely out. As far as the tail light they are going back to heritage.

That sounds like a great sales technique. Do you use that line a lot with clients. "Sir....unless you have down syndrome you should be able to figure this out" We tryed with 3 random customers waiting for service to figure out how to do it. One got it from the top and almost broke the tab, One almost broke her fingernail and the other gave up and said he figured it would have to come from the inside but didn't want to get his white business shirt dirty reaching under and trying. They could have made a small notch in the mold that would easily allow a finger underneath.

No I did. I quite last week. I was in the top 200 USA in Chevy sales 3 out of the last for years. Latley I've felt way too much like I was on the Titanic and we already hit an iceburg. I got out while there is are life boats. The new Tahoe will sell OK at first but with in 6 months they will have to put big rebates just to move them. Thats not what GM needs right now.

I have found the oppisite. Most people want to seat more than 4 in a Tahoe. Its great that they made the 2nd row fold and tumble but they didn't think it though. It works great in the Trailblazer EXT because the 3rd row is on a different plane than the 2nd row. Having it on the same plane will create smashed feet. It will probably on the child of someone that knows a good lawyer. It won't be pretty
