Let's take a nice looking/performing truck with smooth lines, then completely kill any chance of it selling by buying some cheap *** ebay looking bowtie stickers and slapping them on, and finishing it off by throwing an absolutely useless looking "wing" on the back so we can connect with our inner "ricer".
When you think about it...that truck is kinda built on a ricer mentality. Ricers buy wings/carbon fiber hoods because they want so much to think of their cars as "race" cars, much like that truck wanting so hard to be a "nascar" truck, which we all know it will never be. A classic case of wanna, but ain't ever gonna be. But hey, I guess most of us chevy guys debadged our trucks, so hopefully it won't be too much of a job to get those ebay decals off the side and maybe the wing won't leave too big of holes in the tailgate.
Of course, all of this is entirely my opinion....I might like it in person and buy the first one off the lot. If so...I'll be happy to eat crow.

Yet another GM Flop.
I agree with the comment of 2 different design teams.
I never cared for the new style of trucks, and the boxy this-and-that on this one makes me wanna gag. (Sorry new truck guys)
IF..and IF it goes to prod. - I can only imagine what Bobby L is going to want for this monstrosity.
Beastofa327 agreed, its a concept. But, They'll most likely run with it, as they did the Aztek and SSR, and then find another 365 day inventory that no one wants - or can afford.
With the market as tough as it is right now, they'll try anything they can to get cashflow, which is a real shame, because GM has always been a good company.
They need to fire their Designers, and hire some of Daimlers.
In my opinion, they have some of the best body lines out there (except the PT), they just need the Drivetrain engineers of GM.
People want a racy fast truck - Ford GM and Chry know this.
Chrysler brings the SRT10 - Its fast, Functional, and easy on the eyes, but yet makes you look twice. Ford has the lightning - which...I cant stand fords..but they've got a good thing, thats affordable.
GM... well theyre trying...but no design yet.

6.0l 4l80e, 2wd reg cab stripper truck for under 30 is all we need.
Than you can customize it how you want. Who wants to drive the same exact truck as another Guy?
Thats what makes this site so great. There's alot of differant, cool trucks on here.
