The upcoming Chevy full size spy pics

I don't know if any of you guys have seen this yet, but I assumed it should be here on this board before anywhere else on the internet.

I think it's a nice upgrade from the current model. Taking huge cues from Ford with that lens assembly, though. Oh well. The Ford actually looks really good, so it works for me.

Hasn't this been the Chevy thinking lately anyway....they haven't come up with a unique idea since....when?

That is the Tahoe, remember. I imagine the Pickup will have a traditional bumper on it.

it's alright at least it changed but i rather buy a ford if i want the "ford" look. Also for some reaosn the back looks like a mini van.

I would of rather seen the cheyenne concept they showed off a couple of years ago then this.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the front end was Honda's full size truck.

It's alright, i guess. The back just doesn't look good, especially with the license plate there.

its almost funny, how every company spends millions of $$$ on designs, and a lot look alike... I saw a TLC rides show where they showed Ford desiging a new concept car.. it looked a lot like a "mail truck" "brinks truck" and even those ugly "scions XB" who knows..

It doesn't look small to me, at all. And we'll be getting a new Tahoe and full size pickup long before they redesign the trailblazer. The Colorado has only been out a year.

You guys think it looks like a Ford frontend? I just don't see that? I agree, much better than the frontends they have had lately.

Not the whole truck, just the headlamps. And they don't wrap around like the new F-150, but they do resemble each other. I agree. This shows promise. Now, lets all get our hopes up, just to see another pickup with cat eyes even bigger than on the Colorado.
