Replying to: sdron (Feb 17, 2006 2:41 pm) I suppose the main reason for the Yukon is that it gives GM more stores selling the trucks. One disadvantage of having the two brands is that it lets Ford crow year after year that the F150 is the country's biggest selling truck. If you add Chevrolet and GMC sales together, they outsell Ford.

Replying to: sdron (Feb 17, 2006 2:41 pm) Too many brands is one of GMs big problems. Toyota has one minivan. They only have to engineer and market that one minivan. GM has how many minivans? 4? 5? And not one of them is any good.   Instead of engineering and marketing 4 or 5 different variations on that theme, GM should put that extra money into making that one single minivan and making it the best darn minivan there is.   I agree, that GMC should go away. Chevy trucks covers that market just fine. Instead of spending the money to design, build and market two different front-end clips for the Tahoe/Tahoe XL, they should have taken that same money and engineered a better-riding, better-handling independent rear suspension.   Buick may be salvageable with a much reduced product line. Pontiac should be killed -- move the Solstice to Chevy and shoot the rest. Saturn can (and apparently will be) moved upmarket to try to compete against Acura. That may actually work if they stop building dreck. Cadillac seems to be turning the corner.

#463 of 3125 Independent Rear Suspension by smittywall Feb 17, 2006 (8:24 pm)
Replying to: nedzel (Feb 17, 2006 6:19 pm) Independent rear suspensions (IRS) combined with fold flat seats (to please those who really want a minivan) hurt a trucks ride by reducing the available wheel travel. The '06 Tahoe already had the best ride of the 4 full size SUVs and the '07 Yukon I test drove last weekend was even better. The Expedition and Armada both with IRS, ride like bricks.

Replying to: smittywall (Feb 17, 2006 8:24 pm) Amen! You just can't justify the "I want more features" argument until you drive and ride in the new Tahoe. It's new ride is an eye opener to me on how different it is. And, I've owned 4 Chevy trucks previously, which I thought rode better than it's competition already.   I test drove a Ford, Dodge and Chevy truck when I bought my first truck. I drove all 3 down a brick road in the town where I lived. The Chevy was the only one that didn't "jar my teeth". That was 15 years ago. All 3 have improved dramatically over the years. I was amazed at the improvement this time around.

Replying to: ahightower (Feb 17, 2006 10:34 am) Could someone please refer me to a forum where they are actually talking about the new 2007 Tahoe?
