no.....in all honesty....the interior of the F150 is very uncomfortable.....I have always enjoyed the interiors of a chevy (I grew up in them).......the only reason I did not buy a chevy at the time I bought my FX4 is because it was not as quite as the ford and it did not seem to be built as solid.......but I have been anticipating the 2007 release of the Z71 since for redesigned their truck......ford is always on the front end of design......but the chevy usually follows suit and makes some improvements.....

Is it just me, or does that appear to be the Heavy Duty version? That doesn't look like a 1/2 ton to me. Its got the taller hood like the current HD Chevies. So, hopefully the 1/2 regular cab short bed will be something I might like...

Sorry, but Ford and Dodge are just too big for me anymore. I'm 6'2", and have trouble getting schtuff in and out of the bed on those two... and the current styling of Ford is just too sharp and square for my tastes. I'd take a 92-03 F150 any day though!

I hope the hood closes better in the production models than what's shown in the *spy* pic.

I like the look of that new Chevy far better than the current model!

I think the current version of the Chevy is so hideous that I'm surprised it ever made it to production!

Of course, this IS the company that went to market with the Aztec, so who knows?

I was referring to GM -- since they obviously had the "last call" on whether the Aztec actually made it to the streets. I really don't consider Pontiac as being much of a seperate entity from any of the other GM brands.

That was the first thing i noticed in the pic. The gap around the hood what huge. Then i noticed it really has no style at all. It looks like it is missing something from the front of the truck maybe its all the black but it just doesnt look right.

The bed doesn't look like its made for the truck. At least the front looks like a truck now.

Well...
The factory rims are pretty nice.

I dunno, at first glance it is hideous. After some time it may (BIG may) grow on me. I'll give it some time before the final verdict. Kind of like the Titan, at first I thought it was hideous...and it still is. But at least the Titan looks a little better proportioned than this new Silverado.

On the other hand, I think GM did something right with the Tahoe and Yukon, those are nice looking rigs.

I keep noticing things, anyone see the rear bowtie? Ripoff.

The interior looks cheap and the nose looks like the Titan with the chome in the middle and the flares of the Dakota.

No thanks!

Also, what's up with the Nissan Frontier looking roof rack?
