Am I the only person that likes this new styling?.. I'm glad it has some curve in the side, I hate a smooth "clean" look. I like it to be busy with different bumps, and contours. Those fender bulges make it looks muscular

First off the roof rack has gots to go. Just looking at the front end from the hood forward, its not all that bad, but the chrome grill would look much improved going to paint matched with the chrome trim like the 06's.

That *** end shot though is hideous. It looks like a combination of the Nissan Titan, Dodge Dakota, and Honda Ridgline. That is a very bad move for GM if they build this mostrosity. But of course it will sell.

I'm just glad I have an 04 GMC Sierra and an 06 Silverado Z71. Looks like I'll be replacing with a crate motor before I buy another new one. Never thought I'd hear myself say this, but if I had to buy right now, it would be a new Avy.

Maybe they'll take another page from Nissan, Toyota, & Honda and only build them in extended or crew cabs

I was seriously thinking the 07 Silverado would look like the avalanche/tahoe as far as the front end...which had me kind of regretting not waiting. But after seeing those photos I am frkn happy as heck I got an 06! That thing is hideous!!
