GREAT 2008 PICS

[Ed G.]

They are great pics! The outside still looks good but the interior is way too much luxury / bling looking.

nice pics... i like the orange seats.. but i still like the old air vents better. but their are some nice additions.

only one cigarette lighter in the front too? That blows...is that the all windows up/down button just to the left of the headlights nob?

I agree, I just can't get over the loss of the round airvents...I keep trying to like the new style, but I don't know that it'll happen. Maybe an aftermarket dealer will make dash replacements to go 'old school'?

I also couldn't get into the '08 Hummer at the NY Auto Show, they were only letting people into the Special Edition '07...the woman I talked to gave off the feeling that the nobs were glued on and the thing really wasn't production ready...go figure.

oh yeah...and she asked me what I thought of how it looked and my reply was 'Now it LOOKS like the inside of a Tahoe' she didn't seem pleased...LMFAO!

I mean, am i missing the GLARING differences between the two trucks?



disappointing

Oh, that's brilliant!! There are times when I use all of 3 in the front and one or 2 in the back.

I agree the new interior looks like everything else GM makes, Tahoe, Silverado. No more uniqueness on the inside. Obviously they are sharing parts among all the trucks to save $. I do like the new power train. Can't stand the silver bumpers. I bet most will have them painted the day they drive the '08 off the lot. Making me want to keep my '06. Especially if yellow is not offered.

the front looks ok, the silver/pewter bumper is not bad either, however, it might clash a bit on the black one's.

The interior, well, i ahve said it before and basically, its not a hummer interior anymore... its looks like another GM product. They said that they took peoples opinions for the redesign... im wondering if those people where folks like us or the design team for every other chevy interior program?

The engine and trans is refreshing... however, i would like to see how well that trans will hold up. If should a little better than the 60e/65e, but six foward gears and 403hp with cylinder drop off is great!! She should come with a winch upgrade from factory!!

overall, she is still a hummer. She has lost also some figure in approach/departure/breakover angles, not sure if those figures are legit. She doesn't seem to have changed alot in the exterior so it may be the same.

393 hp @ 5700 rpm ??? How can GM justify almost 70 more hp with just .2 extra liters on the v-8. Something in that equation doesn't add up...

I guess I'm the only one than!

To me, the new interior looks waaaaayyyyy better. The materials look to be improved if they are anything like the new Tahoe's.

I cannot wait for them to be released. If the price doesn;t get jacked to 70K for a Lux series, I may have onther one.
