Nice...a big improvement over the current model.  That interior looks mighty comfy.

WOW!  I'm no SUV fan, but these lookl more solid, purposeful, and forged from a single block.  Good going!

Why can't gas go down to 25cent/litre again, I would get one if it did

Oh, Oh, as nice as the new SUVs of GMs are, they could be in trouble from day 1 (but we all knew that with oil prices where they are/probably will go).

Looks good.  Interior is a huge improvement (from the pictures shown) and the thing looks quite proportional.  The only thing it's missing is the chrome 22's and a few LCD panels on the headrests.  :)

What they need is a modern V6 or V8 diesel with consumption lower than 15 liters/100 kms

Agreed.  Turbodiesel V6 or V8 would suit it.

Hats off to GM designers on the looks though.

It's not even 2006 and we're getting 2007 models...  sheesh.

Nice looking vehicle, though, if you're a fan of SUVs.  Gives one a little bit of understanding as to why people like them - big and comfy.  The Tahoe has always been one of the better looking SUVs imo, and this is a good progression.

It would be great to see GM take the next step and put a good diesel in their vehicles.
