Replying to: corvette (Jun 30, 2006 3:15 pm) Yet look at how many of them are on the road... and I like the 99-02 design. Not so much the 03-current but I could deal with it especially since the Chevy is the most capable truck on the road right now. So people might say what they want about how the truck looks, but there will be one in my driveway eventually if it's got the capabilities I need.... (that is also depending on my ability to afford one  - I may have to wait until they start hitting the used lots )

I have to say, I don't hate it. In fact, with the exception of the fender flares I like it. Also the flares may look/seem softer with a color other than red. Personally, I'd like to see black and a gun metal grey. From what I’ve heard the new Silverado with come with a six speed transmission  and a 5.3L 320hp engine. You throw in better fit and finish plus an attractive interior, I don’t think I’ll be the only one sold on this new Silverado. Also I would check out http://www.izoom.com/2007silverado.spied.html for another picture (not sure if this has been posted). And, from someone who has driven the new Silverado look below. "With Silverado, I expected great and I got it," said Jim Sanfillippo, executive vice president and senior industry analyst at AMCI Inc. in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., who has driven the truck. He expects the Silverado will provide a substantial boost to GM's recovery. "This [full-size truck] program that GM launched will be historic when people look back at it in a few years," he said. "They were under siege, under duress, and they came through." The Silverado is not likely to be priced much higher than the current truck, which ranges from $15,840 to $35,160, industry observers say. |

I wish I knew what the &*%$ he's talking about!  DrFill |

I just looked at one of the links posted above and even though it is only a corner shot of the front end... I really like the gun metal grey. I am also liking the stacked headlight arrangment. It heralds back to the 80's and I am sure GM will be flayed by stylists who say GM has no ability to style a truck, but the 80's style stacked headlamp design is my favorite design. That particular body style to me is the most rugged looking of the most recent body styles.... When my lil' ole S-10 finally poops (if it ever does ), I'll be headed to my Chevy dealer for a test drive....

Does the 2007 Silverado have a new garage door opener? I could not get the current model to work.
