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...

Redapple2 175,000 miles? Wow. Another topic, Hot chicks drive Cabos at higher % than most other cars. I always look.
Mister When the news came out, I started checking Autotrader and cars.com for stickshift Versas. There are already a handful showing at $15.3k. When anybody talks about buying a new Versa, folks always say that you're better off buying a nicer used car for the same money. But these days, $15.3k doesn't buy very many "nicer used cars".
28-Cars-Later A little pricy given mileage but probably not a horrible proposition for a Sunday car. The old saying is you're not buying a pre-owned car you're buying the previous owner, and this one has it hooked up to a float charger (the fact he even knows what one is, is a very good sign IMO). Leather and interior look decent, not sure which motor this runs but its probably common (for VAG at least). Body and paint look clean, manual trans, I see the appeal."but I think that's just a wire, not a cracked body panel." Tim, its a float charger. I am doing the exact same thing with the charger hanging via a magnetic hook on the HVAC overhead in my garage.
