I read one review of the new Tahoe which said that both the Caddy and GMC had more "soft touch" plastics inside. Different grades of leather and wood trim, too, I think. Also, the Chevy and GMC are more unique looking now than they ever have been. I kind of like my GMC Yukon XL being at least a litle bit different compared to the eight million Suburbans cruising around Texas. And the 2007s are even more distinct. However, I actually call mine a "Suburban" sometimes when talking to other people. I don't know if most people out there really know what a "Yukon XL" is, and the name Suburban has so much instant recognizability even among lay people. I called mine a Suburban the other day just so my coworkers would know what I'm talking about and what kind of car to look for when I pick them up at the airport. Interestly, my GMC was a couple of hundred dollars less expensive than a comparably equipped Suburban. It has something to do with the way they package the options. So I get to drive what is supposedly the more upscale version, for slightly less money. Go figure. Evidently the marketing message needs some work, but overall, I think the platform sharing, or badge engineering, whatever you call it, is a good idea as long as they continue to diverge stylistically and content-wise. |

I'm trying to buy a 2007 4X4 LT-3 Tahoe .... It has been on order since early Jan. .... It will replace a 2000 4X4 Tahoe with mostly trouble free 91K miles!

"There are trucks with well engineered IRS that have plenty of wheel travel -- Hummer H1, Range Rover, LR3, etc." All of which cost much much more than the Tahoe. IRS reduces wheel travel, size of suspension components, screws up placement of gas tank, and a whole slew of other problems. It doesn't take a lot of common sense to realize that IRS will reduce other features. If you want IRS so much, go buy a minivan. |

Motorweek reviewed the new Tahoe today and said it might the vehicle that saves the company. Kinda bold statement, but nonetheless they loved the design. The liked the new exterior and loved the new interior saying it was a major step in the right direction for GM. One thing they really liked was the turning radius, they said it was nothing short of amazing for a vehicle its size. Anyone try this? hey BIGJON101...Did you order yours so you could get exactly what you wanted? Or did the dealer not have any in stock? just curious, because the dealers around me seem to have at least 8 or 9 in stock, each. Let us know how you like it when you get it! |
