Replying to: navigator89 (Nov 02, 2005 1:10 pm) Oh, gawd... It looks like it still won't have the beloved rear cargo doors on my current Suburban. It is a show stopper for me not moving on to a newer model as was the reason I didn't bother with Yukon or Escalade when I bought my current Suburban.

I have to agree with others who say this looks like an XXL Envoy. Seems like GM could have had a little more imagination when redesigning one of the best exterior designs on the SUV market. The interior and features is what was so dated. I would rather they had left the exterior alone and dressed up the interior and added some features. I have a 2003 XL and am really now on the fence of waiting for one of these for a second look or go ahead and buy one of the last "good-looking" 2006 models..

Is there going to be a footwell for the third seat in the 2007. As the 2006 is configured, the third seat passengers must look like "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". I'm still driving a '97 with 215K m. I was shopping for an '05 or '06 last week and gave up in disgust. It's too much money for something that doesn't do the basics. I can do without the bells and whistles-just want leather seats, comfortable hwy travel and reliable engine.

#22 of 44 deisel for 07 by arkitect Feb 16, 2006 (4:52 pm)
Will there be one? GM has one of if not the best diesel engines but i need to have plenty of interior room. The Avalanche would be just what I am looking for but they are not making even a 2500 Avalanche for the beggining of the mew model's life span and a duramax would not fit on a 1500. So will there still be a 2500 Suburban and will it be a diesel if there still is a 2500. I have an 83 GMC diesel suburban and let me tell you if I can get an 07 diesel I would deffinitley buy it when I have the money.

#23 of 44 2007 Suburban...I'm disappointed by maryfshort Feb 17, 2006 (3:49 pm)
Replying to: arkitect (Feb 16, 2006 4:52 pm) I have a 2004 Expy with 56k on it. I have been awaiting the remodeling of the both GM and Ford. As a mom with boys and loads of gear...I have loved my powerfold third row seat. I was hoping that GM would offer the same thing in their new redesign. How sad I am to find out that the third row will be the removable variety.   I guess it will be the Expedition XL for us this summer.   Am I the only one who really appreciates the power fold?

Replying to: morey000 (Nov 10, 2005 2:03 pm) Went to the D.C. auto show last month and saw the 07 Suburban on display. I have to say that my initial reaction was not positive as compared to my 04 Z-71.The bumpers are cheap plastic instead of steel, the exhaust is "chincy" looking. Rear seats do not fold into the floor which would have been a great feature, and to top it off GM is droping the Z-71 Suburban model which I consider to be very sporty and rugged. No wonder GM is in trouble!..they obviously aren't very progressive in their styling anymore.

Replying to: maryfshort (Feb 17, 2006 3:49 pm) I have a 2003 Yukon XL and was anxiously awaiting the re-design but after seeing at least the shorter new Yukon, there is not a lot new. Styling is boring at best and interior still looks cheap. I did just see the new Expedition XL pictures and it looks really good with some real functionality like the 3rd seat fold down. If Ford engineers are outplaying the GM guys with simple things like an independent rear suspension and an actual 6 speed transmission, GM IS in trouble. I've had 3 Yukons but I think I am going to give the Ford a try next.
#26 of 44 Knock, Knock - Any one home at GM?!?!?!? by shenandoah75 Feb 20, 2006 (7:56 pm)
I would like to begin by quoting the chevy website on the 07':   "suburban has maximum trailering and hauling capabilities that are unsurpassed in the full size segment".   Um, your own vehicles from past model years (er 90s!)exceeded this crap. Great, so Ford bows to pressure dropping the only remaining diesel suv on the market and you turn around and drop your towing capacity by 2000 lbs. In the process, you drop your most competent engine and apparently neglected to spend any of the last 6 years figuring out how to once again put a diesel in the vehicle that allowed you to corner that very market for decades...   The GM bean counters out there need a big crack on the head. You have totally turned your back on the families with serious towing requirements for boats and trailers who have always looked to your engineering to meet such needs. Nice job - i'll sell my toys before i buy this 2007 P.O.S.   Great job listening to soccer moms who want to drive a 5000+ pound beast and still whine because their girlfriends' camry gets such better milage. As edmunds states, your 20MPG still won't do squat to satify the environmentalists who hate suvs anyway.   sellouts...
