My 2007 Silverado crew cab has been a great truck, and although this LOOKS nice, I refuse to buy another GM product.

Looks pretty much the same to me. That said, they make the best looking, most desirable trucks by a country mile, IMO.

I like my 2012 F350 6.7L.... But I had a 2001 Tahoe with the 5.3 that was also a good truck.

Kind of disappointed in the styling. Same old thing. I am a Chevy guy but Chrysler and Ford have kicked their butt on the styling issue IMHO. Also, where is the 4.5L diesel that they were working on? I guess I will keep my 2000 and spend some money on it instead of a new one.

i never really understood the need to separate GMC and Chevrolet.
it all boils down to trim packages, right? i think the GMC looks better.

No doubt GM took it conservatively with styling. I guess the consequences of getting it wrong are pretty high when you sell a million of them each year, plus the spin-off SUVs. It will be interesting to see how the public reacts. The interior, however, is a big leap. It's also interesting that GM decided NOT to follow Ford's EcBoost turbo V6. The all-new 4.3L V6 is 2/3rds of the new Gen 5 small block V8. It's rumored to be in the neighborhood of 260-270 horsepower and better fuel economy than the EcoBoost. It's certainly simpler and less expensive. I can't imagine that it can compete with the torque curve of the EcoBoost. The all-new 5.3L is rumored to be 375hp and 400lb-ft, while the Corvette-based L86 6.2L will be 425hp and 450lb-ft with a very broad torque curve, particularly at low rpm. It'll be interesting to hear all the specs when they're officially announced

I would think that a V-6 would be 3/4th of a V-8, not 2/3rds. Either way, trucks are getting better.
