IMHO the exterior looks worse than the current offering, but big improvement on the interior. And finally no torsion bar suspension up front.

I don't see much resemblance to the Titan. The fenders are completely different, and in a bad way. The body lines aren't similar either. The Dodge Dakota is the closest thing to a Titan copy, although it looks horrible.
but look at the tiny tires compared to the titans... I wonder if is bigger than the titan.... :deadcow: :frogtongu :grunge: i dont like it

I like the new design but its very similar to the Titan. What can you say, you take the best of designs from a variety of places and you put out a product as your own. No such thing as originallity in car design. Everything is a copied aspect somewhere.

It seems to me that all the "improved" or "innovative" point were taken from Nissan. The wide opening KC doors, the double glove box, boxed frame, tailgate assist, power rear window, utilitrac bed rails....etc. What gets me is.....unless you opt for the huge gas gussling Denali engine, all their other motors have less torque than the Titan. Oh, and did I mention these are some really ugly faced trucks? Geez, that's bad. They needed to copy their own Tahoes face IMHO. I prefer the single headlamp to the double.
the new styling is OK but I'll probably like it more once I see one in person. They almost look like Fords new BOX on wheels a little bit squared off but a little more subtile than Ford did. I will say I like the interior shots I've seen so far. One thing I love about the Titan is the console shifter me personally I don't like the column shifter. GM is betting the farm on this release! LoL
PGARTHW8. EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS 100% TRUE. TOO boxy, TOO squared. The floor shifter is much more sporty also. I guess GM didn't want to emulate F and Nissan in that area. And YES GM did bet the farm on this 900 platform series. To the tune of $5 BILLION. With gas at $3+ I would not want any of that bet.
i guess this sets the stage for an all new pickup truck shootout by the mags. with the new chevy and gm,the new trundra, '07 titan with a little more hp and torque, the hemi boys, and last but not least the f-150 guys. cant wait to see how the titan will fare off this time around. that new silverado will have to grow on me because at the moment its not doing a thing for me as for looks.

I tried to keep and open mind when I opened that link... but once that thing showed up on my screen I couldn't help but hate it.
That is the ugliest front end I have ever seen. Ridgeline has it beat in frontend looks! The back of the truck I don't have too big of beef with, it doesn't look great, but it doesn't look horrible.
The interior is a step in the right direction, but you can tell they still wanted to make it feel/look like the chevys from the last 20 years. Good job chevy, you went from having the worst interior to having the 2nd worst interior (ford>titan>chevy>dodge)
The GMC frontend looks better but is still nasty...
As bad is it may be for this country, I hope they tank hard and loud.
