The Escalade: The Tahoe: What do you guys think? I think it's a worthy update to the current cars. Thank God they didn't decide to put this off for two more years and graft on the hideous Avalanche-based update to the Silverado that hit the market two years ago!

Not bad... those taillights and the "tall" chrome piece above the rear license plate make the whole body looked s t r e t c h e d upwards (which is probably the point). Are those stock 21" or 22" chromies (they look bigger than 20")??

I like! Quite a change from the current look. I especially like the front end (headlights) on the Tahoe. Might have to go a little easier on that bowtie though.

Pretty good. My Mom has a 2001 Suburban and my Grandpa (dad's side) has a 04 Yukon. They both are impressive for what they are. I image these will just improve upon that. They visually look a lot smaller. The straight edges as opposed the the current curved lines get that appearance. The rear chrome handle piece on the Escalade is a bit godly. The Tahoe looks a lot like the new Saab 9-7x kinda sporty and imposing, but in a good way.
Scotty, I'm pretty sure those are 20's. I think I remember GM saying that wheels over 20"s were unsafe or damaging to ride quality, (something like that). Also, look at the sidewall height, pretty thick to be more then 20" wheels.

the rear end looks like a mini van. I'm a fan of the current design much more actually... maybe I just need to see one in person though.

Are the Yukon/Tahoe/Suburban the last cars with front and rear steel bumpers? I think the new Ram and Silverado have rear steel but not front. End of an era...
