I think if you put the new Tahoe next to an Armada, or an Expedition, both with IRS and fold-flat 3rd-row seats, the advantages of the IRS/fold-flat seats will become very apparent.
 
I'm not in the market for a full-size SUV, but if I were, the Tahoe's 3rd-row seat design would be a dealbreaker for me. It's a shame because I think this is the best looking GM truck ever.

You are exactly right. And that was my point when I wrote my initial post. GM supposedly started with a clean sheet of paper on this redesign. The IRS may not work for a small percentage of the people that buy these vehicles. However when you look at the vast majority of buyers out there, I will bet most would gladly take the IRS and folding seat over the new design.
 
GM's market share is roughly 1/2 of what it was 20 years ago. If there goal was to try to appeal to a minority of the market, they nailed it .
 
Once again the General needs to get its head out of its ___, and realize that they no longer own the market in the US. If they ever want to turn things around, they need to listen to the comsumer and give us what we want. Look what the Japanese have done in 20 years by listening to us.

and those idiots at GM didn't put a diesel engine in this thing?
 
A modern turbo-diesel would improve mileage a good 30%. Imagine 20 mpg city, instead of 14. Low 20's on the highway. Better towing. And they didn't do it. Fools.

Anyone think those are 20" tires? And will they be offered or are they just for show?

I'm considering buying a 2005 now. Should I wait for the 2007? Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, it depends. You should probably buy a 2005 now if you plan on buying in 3 or so years. I'll bet you anything that in 2 or 3 years GM would have fixed all of the first year "bugs" in these trucks and proabbly add a deisel and fold-flat 3 row seat. This car is too important to them to ignore the concerns posted here.
 
And you know the 2005's are bullet proof since they ahve been around for so long.
 
I don't really know why the fold flat is so important since the truck is huge anywhay, but GM should see this and do something about it sooner or later. Hopefully for GM and America, they do it sooner.

I'd say the '07 will be a lot nicer, but you probably can get an 05 for a lot less money.

I agree too. Diesel is a much better and readily available solution then the hybrid without having additional space and weight of the electric motor.

According to the Tahoe website:
 
"It's the look you've been asking for--20 inch wheels and tires on the 2007 Tahoe.
 
These GM-segment exclusive factory-installed polished aluminum wheels and all-season tires are standard on the Tahoe LTZ and available on the LT models."
 
If you look at the Tahoe page there's a link to the preview information about the 2007.
