I waited until I could see the 2021 Yukon/Tahoe with the intention of ordering one to replace my 2009 Tahoe LTZ (60,000 miles!).
But then I saw what has to be the ugliest front on a vehicle since Lexus/Toyota ruined the styling of their cars. It’s too bad as everything else about the new Tahoe/Yukon is great. What were they thinking?

I’m of the opposite opinion. I think they failed in the rear tail lights. They should at least use led light bulbs and should be polished clear
To me they look a little hazy

rear tail lights and the lack of fogs on all Tahoe models is a big miss.

Agree. I was going to get a Tahoe instead of the Yukon, but couldn't get passed not having fogs and rear LEDs. I think the Tahoe front end looks great.
I also believe the Yukon front looks better than the new Escalade.

Aesthetics is all opinion, so there is gonna be some people who dont like it and some that do.

Which front end do you not like? They are both very different.

I have a 2012 and was anticipating the 2021. I think they've gone too far with the bus design with the cab so far forward the drive tunnel is huge, has a bit of a dead man's pedal and the front doors are narrow. For my purposes a 4 passenger vehicle which could also configure for maximum cargo, forget the third row, would be ideal.

So, I found a new appreciation for my 2012 and plan to keep it a loong loong time, soccer moms can have the 2021.

The only Esky I like is the blacked out sport one. I agree the chrome grill ones don't do it for me either.
If I order one it will be the maroon sport black out model with the black wheels... I think that is a pretty sharp combo...

Actually, I can't stand being behind some of these vehicles with LED stop lamps. Often, they produce such an intense light that I have to cover my eyes. LED's could still be used, but they need a better diffuser lens. Even some of these LED headlamps are too bright, but thankfully not nearly as bad as some of the aftermarket HID lamps that some were adding.

oh yeah, the sport does look awesome. The interior is amazing though. Those screens!
