Default 2007 Tahoe Is Here

Not for sale yet, not until the 10th im guessing. Don't have any invoices, don't have any window stickers but the we do have in our show room with just about every option. 4WD, LTZ, nav, back up aid, sunroof and dvd player. The new nav system is flippin' sweet. The map disc goes behind the screen like the corvette nav. Haven't driven one yet but I am going to tomorrow. Supposed to see the new Avalanche, Silverado and the new Suburban. Don't have a camera so don't say its bullshit with out pics. Drive you *** to Ray Huffines and look in the showroom.

Man I saw some of those at that assembly plant/whatever off of 360 in Arlington a few days ago, they look ****** sweet! The front end makes it look something like a Range Rover almost... love the new headlights. They could have put some better rims on em though. Can't wait to try one out

Ok, you make it seem like you have had them for weeks. They just started shipping on the 2nd. First build date was the first week of Dec. My manager has a pic from Dub.com with the Tahoe and Escalade slammed and on 24's. I do agree with the wheel selection on the LTZ they should have all the different types of wheels that are optional on the 06 some of those are pretty sweet.

Its a whole new truck, they got new motors, trannies, frame, interior, everything. They pushed up the launch date like 6 months or something b/c GM is getting owned in the sales dept right now. I might go take a look at one of them tomorrow.

Pretty much everything is new on it, new nav system, the back up aid, head curtian airbags from front to back, the third row has an electic locking position getting ready to drive them in about 2 hours. From what I have heard is that the Suburban/Yukon XL/Escalade ESV (i think) are supposed to be second quarter (march/april)

Overpriced, Chevy is putting themselves out of there market and into the High end market. I see GM declaring Bankruptcy by the end of this year. around $35K for base models and over $50K for a fully loaded one, We have a bunch of 05's Tahoe along with 06's still sitting on our lots!!!!!

If the base model starts out at $35k then that isn't bad compared to its competetion. Since I read this I went to all the other car makers websites and all their full-sized SUV's start at the low to mid $30,000 range also. That is not GM's main problem from where I am standing. One thing I think is the problem is too much of the same thing. Like the new Pontiac Torrent. It's a freakin Chevy Equinox with red tail lights instead of clear and a different style front end. Also, why do we need Chevy and GMC for trucks and SUV's? Same thing, just a different grill pretty much. Pointless. I mean someone correct me if I am wrong here. Also of course we all know one of the biggest mistakes they made is not having a true competetor for the Ford Mustang. Instead of trying to improve upon the F-body, they just killed it. I would have killed Oldsmobile and Buick before I killed the F-body. The GTO was a freaking joke, sorry but that was not something good to replace the f-body with. Also as my dad points out "there are too many old high paid farts at GM. They need some younger fresh meat perhaps." Another reason GM is having trouble is because they had their damn heads in the sand or something. Tahoe was the #1 selling full size SUV for how long??? Guess they just got a little use to that. And when it came to trucks 10 years ago what did most buy? GM or Ford pretty much. Dodge got in on the market better, and now Toyota brought one out, promoted it very well in many ways. Everyone has a mid and full size SUV to pick from. And of course with the gas price change over the last 6-9 months, that didn't help either. There are many reasons why GM is in the crunch they are in. They better do something quick or they will go under. And that is bad news for many of us.
