I saw this truck today on my way home and fell in love:

I believe this is a tour of the same truck:

I'm not a big fan of the design of the new Tahoes (I love the Yukons), but this might sway me. This one was an SC-460 which it looks like it's supercharged with 460 HP.

The K2XX Tahoe has lost all its aggressiveness in the new design and it looks contrived and misplaced trying to make it look fast as opposed to utilitarian. Lose all the chrome to make it look like the original color matched SEMA version (http://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/ima...mance-ss-and-rs-versions-of-tahoe-78339_1.jpg), drop it, and only then bother to supercharge it. Otherwise it's just a faster disco ball.

There I said it.

I agree...it's sad what they did to the new Tahoes/Burbans...but that new Escalade, oh man, that's just sexy.

Been so long and still not feeling the new Tahoes at all.

Yukons looks good.... back is still so square like the rest though.

Escalade. Tail light Fail.

Silverado have grown on me though.... starting to like them in lowered form a lot.

Sierra is sweet too.

That gaudy/obnoxious front fascia is such an atrocity... wheels too small, overly badged (for advertising, I assume) & yes, too much chrome. One guy's opinion, of course.

I just can't get over the way the headlights/turns sweep back on the tahoes...for some reason it looks even worse to me on the suburbans.
