naias 2013 gm locks us out of their new full size trucks

Any hopes of taking a look at the interior of GM’s full-size trucks were dashed, as GM briefly opened the doors up for pictures and then promptly locked them. Come on guys, what have you got to hide? Even Lexus had the doors of the $445,000 LFA Nurburgring Edition opened.

Love the "Family Truckster" headlights! Well, if was so good ONCE... double the pleasure, right below it! Ugh.

  My first thought as well. Someone did a mirror about the centerline in CAD and called it a day.

So, GM finally admitted that "Men-step" is useful and finally offered rear bumpers from now defunct Avalanche. (Looking at the picture of a blue truck). They would not have this problem in a first place if they would just drop a ride height by about half a foot... and I'm 6'4".

  Yep...but you have to admit out of a dozen or so horrible Howie Long Silverado commercials back in the day... the man-step one was the only one that cracked me up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGI8IRXRqpo Come on....Truck wars...that one was a good one.

  I remember when the Avalanche was first released and had the step cut into the rear bumper, I thought that was an excellent solution. What bothered me is why it took them (12?) years to put it on their other production pickups! Of all of the Howie Long commercials, the man step one was the worst. Most of the other ones made me laugh, but bagging on the man-step was lame, IMO. Especially when they had a better idea (get it?) already in hand...

Tassos You can answer your own question for yourself, Tim, if you ask instead"Have Japanese (or Korean) Automakers Eaten Everyone's Lunch"?I am sure you can answer it without my help.
Tassos WHile this IS a legitimate used car, unlike the vast majority of Tim's obsolete 30 and 40 year old pieces of junk, the price is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. It is not even a Hellcat. WHat are you paying for? The low miles? I wish it had DOUBLE the miles, which would guarantee it was regularly driven AND well maintained these 10 years, and they were easy highway miles, not damaging stop-go city miles!!!
Tassos Silly and RIdiculous.The REAL Tassos.
Lostboy If you can stay home when it's bad out in winter, then maybe your 3 season tire WILL be an "ALL-SEASON" tire as your just not going to get winters and make do? I guess tire rotations and alignments just because a whole lot more important!
Mike My wife has a ‘20 Mazda3 w/the Premium Package; before that she had a ‘15 Mazda3 i GT; before THAT she had an ‘06 Mazda Tribute S V6, ie: Ford Escape with a Mazda-tuned suspension. (I’ve also had two Miata NAs, a ‘94 & a ‘97M, but that’s another story.) We’ve gotten excellent service out of them all. Her 2020, like the others before it, is our road trip car - gets 38mpg highway, it’s been from NC to Florida, Texas, Newfoundland, & many places in between. Comfortable, sporty, well-appointed, spacious, & reliable. Sure, we’d look at a Mazda hybrid, but not anytime soon.😎
