Saw a new Ava on the lot today as a drove by it.
It look pretty nice
Wing should do a review on it

I always thought that Avalanche was one of the better looking trucks on the market. :)
Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?

The new Avalanche styling looks "cleaner" and more sophisticated (if that's possible)  :P  The old one looked chunky and bloated with the grey plastic on it ... and the more recent plastic-free models looked a little too cheapo.  Looks great in black  ;D ... could you color match the support beams  :-X or is that Cadillac territory.

Would love to but GM doesn't seem to care about me.  Maybe Barrie has some contacts.

You could get one without the cladding already. ::)
A lot better styling then a Ridgeline

The interior is the same as the Tahoe, it appeared to be nice.

Funny, I was going to say that it looks a lot more like the Ridgeline without the cladding.    ;D :D

I saw a bright red one too and also thought it looks really nice. Wonder if the price get get to $70K like the new Tahoe can...
