What is the GMT900 patform?
What's better about it?
I can find all kinds of discussions about it being incorporated into the h2 eventually, but what is it?

A “platform” is a component set that works together. Many people mistakenly think “frame” when using the word platform and they couldn’t be more wrong. As an example a 3500 pick-up and the old 1500 Tahoe don’t share any frame and suspension parts, but are both based on the GMT800 platform. In most cases any more, the electronic system of a given car/truck platform is the single biggest driver of shared components. Look at the electrically controlled components that were changed/improved from the 800 based Tahoe to the 900 based Tahoe and you can pretty well guess what’s going to change when the H2 goes to the 900 platform. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

As I am completely ignorant of the 900-based Tahoe, is it: Stronger? Lighter? More squirrelly? Bouncier? Prettier? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

From a Tahoe/Yukon standpoint, it looks to me like they (GM) have incorporated more Escalade styling, better lighting, and some economy/performance enhancements.
