"We need Americans to buy American Made cars and Trucks in this critical time for are economy. Yes some of the Japaneese cars are made here and feature some parts from American Suppliers......but not as many as GM. Thanx-->rockylee"
 
HooRaahh buddy, I'm with ya.
Some of the foreign vehicles may be made here in the USA but the people that own the company don't live in the USA. I don't care if it's a BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, Kia, whatever.
Spend it here it stays here.

Well I really like the 2007 Tahoe. That is one nice looking suv. I did notice that every Tahoe I've seen has waves in the front doors panels. I've seen about 5 of them that way.
I didn't like the 2007 Yukon too much. Those headlights are Massive. The 07 yukon headlights would have been ok if they didn't run them all the way on top of the fenders.
I hope that the new Sierra is either different than the Yukon or more like the Tahoe.

Your stand is decidedly un-American IMO.
 
What spurs excellence? Rewarding mediocrity?
 
When does the consumer win? When we purchase an inferior product becuase it's supposedly made in the USA? In all actuality, it's most likely from sources to include Canada and Mexico.
 
What IS American is the privilege of purchasing the best product available at a competitive price.
 
I've served this country in the military for over 25 years to include deployments to Iraq, however, I will not buy "American" when it is clearly an inferior product.
 
The burden is on the PRODUCER to make a superior product, not on the consumer to "buy American." You have it backwards.
 
Bring on the all-new Toyota Tundra --competition brings out the best and WE (consumers) win!!!

I thought it was a cost effective thing... GM cost-cutting at it's best. I don't think most people will or would have noticed a difference in drum or disc at the rear.

I think it'll do ya well... I am really looking forward to what GM does with the redesign. I am not overly fond of the current front end with the chiseled headlights (I think the Sierra's are a little better), and would actually prefere the design that is still used on the current Suburban Tahoe (not the 07 Tahoe). But in any case, if the 07 Tahoe is any indication, I think that the new truck will be heads and tails above the current one. I like the front end design of the Tahoe, the Yukon not so much; hopefully the truck has a little bit different look to it. I am also not too fond of the front bumper. I think plastic bumpers are a joke. Hopefully there is some chrome or at least a true metal bumper in store for the truck. But in any case - overall I think that GM is doing things right again... They did the trucks right last time around save for the interiors, but even while not a "luxurious" as a competitor, the interiors they were at least ergonomic and more functional than most of the trucks on the market at the time.
 
So I am excited about the new trucks... Hopefully I will be able to get one. A Colorado looks to be more in my range, but who knows... maybe a Silverado is in my sights?

Will the new Siverado be intro'd at the NY show? GM better hurry, or it will be out of business before its best seller makes its debut.

The new Silverado/Sierra is scheduled to shown at the Texas State Fair in September.

GM can't show the new Silverado too early by drfill

Then sales of the '06 would immediately nosedive, and GM can't afford that, so they must wait until fall, when sales slow anyway, to release a new model to the public.
 
  They'll suffer a couple of bad months, but the annual End of the Year Fire Sale will help cover that.
 
  I like the current truck's front end. Hope it just evolves, and doesn't ape the candy-pants SUVs front ends.
