Thats ass end looks half decent. I love a clean looking rear end with a nice view of the fat rubber. Dont we all!

But its tooo small!!

Toyota Seqouia will run over it. They make bigger jeeps!

How are you supposed to tow a boat with a small truck like that.

They will supposedly have the same towing capacity but on a more fuel efficient motor.

look at how much lower and longer the masked tahoe looks. lower roof line. lower stance.

yes, but their fazing out large suv's this is part of the process. you dont make it too drastic. but the goal in the end is to fade it out gradually. you can already tell in the next generation SUV from the pictures.
and just like many other nameplates that dont work out so well...they just stop making them. who knows, maybe theyll faze out the crossover and just throw the escalade/tahoe and yukon in that spot. carry on sales as usual.

No way that will happen. You cannot tow a trailer, boat, etc. with a crossover. Their will always be a market for this style platform and they will just figure out a way to meet EPA regulations.

That pic has been on the web for years ... it's just some dude's idea of whet it will look like and totally unrelated to the actual thing.

Its what designers do when they're bored.

yeah...they waste millions of dollars and time.... this is not just some designers hobby. its a concpet obviously. but this is the direction they are taking the lineup

i think the proof is in the pudding....look at the pictures! even the masked tahoe is obviously different in length and height than the current one. and not to mention the motors are going to be getting smaller and lighter... they want the trucks to do the same thing. every vehicle across the lineup is getting smaller and lighter. looks at the C7 vette...even the c6 camaro...going to be on a smaller lighter chassis and smaller motor with beffer MPG.

So is the current C6 the last hurrah at the motor? Give me proof and I will believe. As long as their is a market for SUV's, sports cars, etc. they will continue to make them.

We will find out soon enough about the next gen motor. I believe it will be a 5.5 di v8 but they haven't releases the info. But they are considering offering 4 cylinder turbo in the Camaro and v6 turbo in the vette. Well find out at its debut hopefully this fall. And we should find out about the Tahoe in fall at la or winter at Detroit.
