Pickup with Purpose: Cheyenne's goal is to protect GM's turf, break rules

[NFS4]

It looks like a huge dildo:disgust:

 

[kleinesarschloch]

[Codewiz]

fugly

 

[CraigRT]

ouch :Q

I can maybe see the looks growing on me if I see it in person... but from that pic.. nastay!

 

[LAUST]

Don't follow all the other guys and shrink the hood!! :|

Big engine compartments should be in the top 5 requirements for trucks.

Reliable
Durable
Easy to work on/Simple desighn (like ROOM under the hood!!!!!)
Powerful
As inexpensive as possible to purchase and maintain (Alternator for my 84 F150 = $23)

Its lacking something...i believe the word is....style... Maybe the final version will look better.

 

[AvesPKS]

How is it ugly? I like the phrase "rugged elegance"...it sums up it's apperance well.

A supercharged all-alloy 6.0-liter Vortec engine, generating 500 horsepower and 580 lbs.-ft. of torque. This V-8 engine is used with GM Powertrain's Displacement on Demand (DOD) technology, debuting on some 2005 GM models. DOD shuts down half of the cylinders during most driving conditions, and automatically and seamlessly reactivates them for more demanding tasks, such load hauling.

All-new aluminum alloy control arms and Fox coil-over remote reservoir shocks to increase off-road capability

BF Goodrich 35-inch tires mounted to 22-inch wheels. Six-piston calipers with 15-inch rotors on the front wheels; four-piston calipers with 14.75-inch rotors on the rear.

Porsche Cayenne


GM likes to keep their names in the western states where the trucks get real use

I can see it getting better. Headlights are MUCH too small. And of course the bling bling rims.

And remember, for all of you who are calling it ugly, it was produced by an ex-Honda designer.

Well being this is Anandtech I think it will pain everyone more to know when I first saw it, it reminded me of the Titan

Must be a reason they are an 'ex' honda designer.

Seriously, that truck is not very easy on the eyes. I'll reserve judgement for in-person viewing. Right now I still think the aztek is uglier. But not by much.

 

[LAUST]

LOL, a truck thread and so far it's all but 2 posts about the looks... heh

If ya can't pop a hood latch what are ya doing in a truck thread

 

[radioouman]

Why do the windshields of these trucks have to be so huge?? Do people really like them? They make the interior so hot in the sun.

Laust, even YOU wouldn't drive something as ugly as that sh!t so don't try to act all high and migthy

 

[Amused]

Maybe there is a reason why the designer is an ex-Honda guy?

Nothing wrong with those trucks. The 84's aren't bad looking trucks. Neither are the older ones you mentioned. But the Cheyenne is just fugly.
