The new 2007 Tahoe and Yukon

[duffjr]

i see people buying suv's all the time cause they have familes or think it's safe.  like mentioned above, there's a food chain.  semis kill buses that kill suv's that kill normal cars that kill sports cars.  just buy a freakin 4/5 passenger and stick the arcade machine on the roof of the car.

[Havok]

I just thought these type of cars were popular in America because you needed the extra power to transport your supersized lard asses.

Actually, it's to handle the large breasted American girlfriends...

with huge asses

Bump for everybodys enjoyment. Did not want to start a huge argument. Should not of said "freaks" sorry about that I just dont like it when people comment that suvs are going to be the end of the world. Please by all means continue on though. One's freedom of speech is protected.

[shmokes]

SUVs are going to be the end of the world.

[missioncontrol]

don't worry about it, threads have a way of going thier own course around here. Some say that SUV's are going to be the end of the world, others say it's George Bush, other's have more normal views such as the lack of bacon will cause the world to end.

ehhh to each their own ...........

 

[shmokes]

George Bush will be in an SUV when he causes the end of the world.

[sgfootball2006]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion I guess Ahhhh yes the bacon will be it

[shmokes]

Seriously nobody said that SUVs are going to be the end of the world.  They said they are gas guzzlers and gigantic, ruin visibility, and take up multiple parking spaces.  And yes, they take up multiple parking spaces.  In practice they often take up multiple parking spaces in parking lotse either because they are driven by fools who can't handle them properly or it is something so enormous, like the excursion, that it is literally too big to fit in many parking spaces.  But they ALWAYS take up multiple parking spaces on the street where cars must park parallel to the curb.

Anyway these are all accurate and perfectly reasonable complaints.  Additionally they drive the price of gas up for all of us by increasing demand. 

In fact, now that I mention it....Increased demand means increased reliance on foreign oil.  Increased reliance on foreign oil means maintaining an evil government in Saudi Arabia to provide us with cheap oil.  Maintaining said evil monarchy means more Saudi's take up Jihad against us.  This inevitably leads to WWIII and the end of the world.  SUVs really ARE the end of the world!!!

And they're ugly.

I could fit two Civics in there!

I work at a car dealership and we have not a slowdown on SUV and Truck purchases since the gas prices have been rising. I have seen some people downgrade their Suburban or Expedition for a Smaller SUV or Mini-Van, but it's Deer Hunting season and so everyone is coming in to buy their trucks.

As for the 2007 Tahoes... It's about time for Chevy to change the body style of the SUV ? Truck lines. We have seen this new style already in their Envoys, now it will finally hit thier bigger vehicles. The sad thing is that these still have the same features as the current body style vehicles yet, will cost $10k more just for the new design.

I hope it increases GM sales. They weren't doing good until they offered the employee pricing bit.

But can your civics follow me........

No, but on the other hand, neither could an H2 apparently

Anyone else remember Jetho's car wash from Beverly Hillbillies?  It looked something like that.

[sgfootball2006]

you only pay for the name on Hummer H2's. They are not a high quality vehicle.

[Crazy Cooter]

Aren't they built on a Yukon chassis?

I believe so. It is either the Yukon or Tahoe. I would rather pay less for basically the same suv, that in my opinion, looks better.

Funny thing is the H2 is actually cheaper than a Tahoe\Yukon\Escalade if bought as a business vehicle. It qualifys for a conciderable tax credit ment for people who need a big truck (e.g. Chevy Topkick/GM Kodiak) for their business, but applys equally to any business vehicle over a given weight. That's why you see lots of H2s with a small business's logo splashed on them.

there was a ladder in the middle of the street the other day, and the SUVS were too scared to run over it while the normal cars were taking it at full stride.

[Bones]

Cars like this cause people like me to die.

[Stingray]

My wife and I looked a hybrid Escape the other day. Not a bad little car in my opinion, and 36 MPG isn't too shabby for an SUV. Of course it's nothing near the size of a Suburban or an H2.

It's also nowhere near the price of a standard Escape.  Stick with your Mini.

We weren't seriously shopping, just looking.
