New Chevrolet Avalanche

[aphophis]

General Motors will introduce the all-new 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche, the latest rollout of its next-generation full-size truck family and the industry's most flexible utility vehicle, at the Chicago Auto Show.

GM also will make two major announcements: One will build on the "Live Green Go Yellow" campaign GM launched Jan. 25 in Washington, D.C.; the second involves a technology enhancement at OnStar. OnStar will celebrate its 10th anniversary at the show.

"GM continues to demonstrate bold and innovative leadership in products and technology," said Brent Dewar, GM vice president, marketing and advertising. "On these fronts and more, GM is truly on a roll."

The Chevy Avalanche was the first to combine the passenger-comfort attributes of an SUV with the cargo capability of a truck. The 2007 model is based on GM's brand-new, full-size SUV platform, which features more power with improved, segment-leading fuel economy and flex-fuel capability on some models; a sharper, more precise driving feel; increased interior refinement and improved quietness; and world-class safety. It will go on sale in the second quarter of 2006.

"Avalanche created the segment and it continues to dominate it. In 2007, the original gets even better," said Dewar.

That is an ugly truck.

[PerfAdv]

Smoothed out, it's looking a little like the Honda Ridgeline.

[Classic Anycar]

Better than the original. Bad color, though.

[KonaGreen]

Call it what you want. It's still ugly as sin.

[rev440]

I geuss im the only person who likes it. The front has nice lines but the rest of the truck looks like a ridgeline.

[6speed]

Ugly. I like the current one (the non plastic one) alot more.

[mhaire]

Smoothed out, it's looking a little like the Honda Ridgeline.

I agree, it does look like the Ridgeline.

No the Ridgeline looks like this. It came first.

[CSL]

No the Ridgeline looks like this. It came first.

people will always fail to understand this which shows how stupid they really are

with ya on that one, they got rid of that big ugly bumer and made it the same colour as the body, but one of them in Electric Blue, now there ya go

And the front end is sexier, but thats just me!

[Schmallz]

Hideous, just like the new Tahoes, i havn't seen the New Suburbans yet but i guess that they are pretty ugly too, unless they cancel it like ford killed the Excursion.
The Avalanche should not try too look the Honda, the Avalanched looked great, except for the ugly plasticness around the floor boards.

Personally i don't like the Metalic Baby shit color but, it could just be the paint job.

I like the lines, but I was really hoping they'd get rid of that cheap ass plastic trim stuff...yuck. I might actually kinda like the Avalanche if it weren't for that plastic.

I thought you could get the Avalanche without that plastic body armor? I know I have seen plenty that had sheet metal all the way down.
