    They'll be right next to the deep fried butter booth.

    Can GM finally get rid of the yards of hard plastic on the dash and door panels???? I do not want anything I regularly touch to be HARD plastic! You shouldn't have to get a Escalade to get the same level of interior padding that a base Jeep Cherokee has. Even the Denali is acres of HARD plastic!!! Enough already!!!

    How about IRS, the Expedition, Navigator and now the Durango have proven it works in big SUV's and eliminates a lot of the body shudder and head toss found in the big GM SUV's.

      @mkirk It's based off the same platform, its no different then putting a silverado on IRS, people buy them for their truck like abilities, among other things. Why destroy a good thing, a solid axle is much more reliable than worrying about half shafts, and potential performance damage. People do use these offroad, whether it be oil fields in Canada, long muddy/snowy roads, or 20 years when its worth more as a playtoy. IRS does not cut it, no way, no how.

    I have not heard of the big FORD SUV's having reliability issues with the IRS. IRS can be built very tough but my point is most of these lux SUV's never see severe use. Heavy duty maybe, severe duty rarely. The biggest advantage I ever see mentioned about the Ford product is the ride and drive that the IRS provides. Don't even mention the Mercedes GL450 and its cousins. Incredible ride and drive but reliability of their air-suspension is directly proportional to the warranty. Not bashing GM just wondering. I am waiting on the new Chevy SS. That gets my heart pumping.

      i have read refiews that say the GM fullsize SUVs w/solid rear axle still ride and handle better than the IRS Ford and Toyota SUVs. The only real advantage is you get a roomier 3rd row for the kids. The ride and handling of our Tahoe is phenominal for what it is and for towing give me the solid rear axle all day long, that is more important than the third row seating. GM hasn't lost sight of what these trucks are meant and need to do, despite the fact that they became fashion statements when the economy was booming and gas was under $2 a gallon.
