NEW SIERRA by jerrymcshane1

The overall look is cleaner, a bit more squared off(IMO), but aerodynamically improved. I don't know how the new Sierra design can be more aerodynamic with that blunt nose configuration. IMHO it will be LESS aerodynamic one would think. But I'm sure this truck has been through the wind tunnel testing so what do I know? The new trucks pics will be OUT officially Aug. 2. GM stated that the new 6 speed tranny will not be avialable until next year. Something about an inventory lack there of. Is available on the New Denali SUV/Escalade however.

FYI, there is a 2007 Classic and there is a 2007 redesigned. The 2007 Classic are currently available while the 2007 redesigned will be available in the fourth quarter.

New Pics.... by the_big_al

Just looked at the pics posted here... http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=116348#3. I like the new look more and more... But one question. Is that a Tahoe interior (the first interior pic), or is an uplevel Silverado to have the same interior as the Tahoe?
 
One pic shows an interior that I swear is the same pic as the Tahoe interior. The other is a very different interior. Hence my question; is an uplevel Silverado to have the same interior as the Tahoe?

Okay - so I just read the full description of the Silverado and answered my own question. It appears that the trucks will offer two distinct interiors... The "Uplevel" Tahoe interior for LTZ and Denalli and the other for base and mid-level... but the mid-level interior is still supposed to be really "uplevel" still.

The interiors are vastly better than the current one.

Saw some photos that had leather and satnav with the base/mid-level interior. I think a truck that is loaded enough to have those features ought to have the nicer trim (from the Tahoe)...

I think that I would almost prefer the base/midlevel interior. It appears more driver centric - the radio and A/C controls and dash are centered more towards the driver. Plus the big door handles just speak "truck" to me. I prefer that. The smaller handles in the up level interior and the more centered radio and climate controls look great and the overall layout works well, but I prefer the other design. It just seems more ergonomic to me.

This guy posted this in the front page news forum but I had to repost so you guys didn't miss it.

I had the chance to test-drive a new Silverado yesterday and I thought I would give my review. I have never driven an import Full-Size truck so this comparison is between the current F-150 and RAM.
 
The model was a 4-Door 4x4 5.3L Black Silverado. Not sure about what suspension.
 
From the outside the truck looks even nicer in person. The interior is REALLY where the HUGE jump is from the last models. Interior is great! This particular one was fully loaded with DVD player and wireless headphones in the center console. Speaking of the center console, it is HUGE! The cockpit is am excellent place to be... very nice leather and comfortable seats.
 
Where I was MOST impressed was the AMAZING ride and handling! This alone puts the RAM to downright shame and the F-150 can't compete either. It rides like a cadillac and handles like a car! I was SO impressed with how balanced it felt!
 
The Vortech was plenty strong. I got to hit the pedal on the GM Tech Center grounds pretty good and it has good pickup for a truck. I would GUESS 0-60 in around 8 Sec.
 
This truck was only driven on a road course with stop and go and plenty of pedal hammers... the onboard computer (in front of the driver) said MPG average of 24MPG! Thats pretty impressive! The display also shows if you are in 4 or 8 cyl mode and it is obviously seemless.
 
I am not even in the market for a truck but these trucks impressed me SO much... I am 99% sure I will be getting one in the end of the year!
 
GM should be VERY proud, its a great truck!
