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...

Keith Most of the stanced VAGS with roof racks are nuisance drivers in my area. Very likely this one's been driven hard. And that silly roof rack is extra $'s, likely at full retail lol. Reminds me of the guys back in the late 20th century would put in their ads that the installed aftermarket stereo would be a negotiated extra. Were they going to go find and reinstall that old Delco if you didn't want the Kraco/Jenson set up they hacked in?
MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
