what's chevy's deal? i'm a die hard chevy fan, although i own a dodge, and they seem to be getting uglier and uglier. i'm not crazy about the 06 dodge bug eyed headlights either. and ford, we won't even go there. but come on make a good lookin truck. although i'm sure everyone has their own opinion this is mine.

Lordy, that is uncomplimenting to say the least. In fact, it is ugly.

Makes me wonder why they even bothered to change it. It's still ugly.

Like everything it will have to grow on you. I really didnt like the way that the Dodge looked when the 3rd Gen came out but I really like them now. The same for the slanted Headlight design that the Chevy has, yuk at first, now I like them in the 2500 Series.
I actually LOVE the way that the new Taho's and Suburbans look. Those are pretty bad edit!!!!
I think that these new Chevy's will look great with a 2500 chassie, 4X4, and the Duramax installed. I'm looking foward at the specs that GM will put out on the new Frame. Interesting to say the least!!

I like it, better than the boxy, queer styling they have now.

Like already stated, all the "new" body styles take some gettting used to.

The fenders are painful.

What ever happened to the 01-02 trucks with the rectangle headlights and massive hood bulge. Those were great looking trucks.
