Three things I don't understand on current generation Suburban

[Suburban2024]

1. The fascia. Slant-eye shape headlights with two long beard underneath on each side. Someone may prefer this design, but it looks weird to me personally.
2. Third row windows position. They are significantly higher than the front and middle windows. Why? Isn't nobody in GMC/Chevy able to see the design is ugly? Or the engineers were just over-lazy in pandemic era?
3. Third tow pillars are over-large. They simply make anyone on third row seats have no side windows to use. Has anyone from GM ever sit on third row seats in any Ford Expedition max?

Now I am praying that GM will adopt 2023 Silverado 1500 fascia and its infotainment design onto 2024 Suburban. For third row windows and pillars problem, I am not expecting GM engineers, who are obviously lacking engineering aesthetics training, to do anything so soon because it seems mission impossible for them.

How Toyota and Ford train their engineers? 2023 Sequoia and Expedition Max look both beautiful.

Forgot to mention the most ugly fascia I've ever seen in my life is on 2022/2023 Silverado HD. The design is even more ugly than the fascia of Lexus 570. It makes me think GM engineers may come from a foreign planet, where the intelligent creature has completely different view of aesthetics from what human being on earth has. I read GM Authority and someone said 2024 Suburban will use the fascia from 2023 Silverado HD. I am praying it won't come true.

the pillars have been changed because of federal safety requirements in case of roll over, each generation has more stringent rules

Thank you for your reply. But why 2023 Sequoia and Expedition Max both look fine? I believe Toyota and Ford have to follow the same rule from federal DOT.

not sure, maybe the don't weigh as much

GM is cutting jobs to save money, some of these jobs are engineers that are in charge of vehicle design and safety.

GMC front end look better to you? Looks were the main reason I went GMC this time after owning Chevy's since 1996.

The new chevys look stupid. There is nothing masculine truck about it. From 2020 on they look ugly AF. GMC definitely does a much better job

Yukon's fascia looks much better that Suburban's. I am not a fan of too much chrome, though. But I am aware that's completely a personal preference.

The new GMCs are definitely better looking than the peasant Chevys. Hideous.
