I love it and I don't see how they could make it better, I think it is a work of art.

i like the new style a lot more, and i doubt we will see a change as crazy as the change from the old model to the new one for a very long time

I like them all and Actually Like OBS the most. But their all nice. The way the NNBS could be better is if the seats were more like NBS seats (bigger, more padding) and Bigger motor options.

01-06 ftw.

:imo: <-- make sure that's there...

The best looking truck ever made.. the lines are simple and classic.

07+'s look great.. (I like the Tahoe's better than the Yukons tho)..

Look at JK's truck.. I mean how can you beat that?

if he sold that, and bought an 09 tahoe with a 6.2 and did the exact same mods.

Again :imo:

All the newer cars look so.. molded.. I dunno. Like big body panels of fiberglass and plastic.. (I know their metal.. just saying what it looks like)

The 01-06's still have that modern look.. but that "old school chevy" feel to them. Of course i'm way biased.. so none of this really means anything lol.

Wonder what JK's going to say.. seems like he could get an 09 if he wanted.. but still loves his baby.

I like the design of the NNBS, the seats look sick in black, but I like the way it feels to drive an 01-06 much better. Maybe it's because our 02 has autoride and my 08 doesn't but who knows. I'm trading in the 02 for an Esky! Can't wait, the bigger engine the better, IMO. May do the same with the 08 if I get enough cash saved to pay sales tax or whatever.

i love it! especialy the z71 hoe. i don't like the headlights on the new kon tho. i think they look too big and a little long. gm should have done somethin different for the nali than the kon like the old body style other than just a little color in the reflector.

I really like the styling of the GMT900's , but I also have a big fondness for the GMT400 styling as well.

Once I saw the NNBS, I wanted one bad. So when they offered 0% financing I jumped on it.

I didn't even know the NNBS Denali's had different headlights whatsoever. They should have made projectors like for the NBS, and gave the Escalade LED's standard rather than Platinum-only.

exterior styling I like gmt 400 and 800 better than 900...but the GMT900s are such an upgrade in the interior, much better looking imo, also the leather feels mostly like leather and not vinyl. If they had done a better job with the interior plastics and had HIDs at least optional (or at least projectors) I probably would have purchased a new denali instead of throwing down a deposit for an e550.

Regardless I still think all GM full size suvs look good minus the escalade.

Yeah, the Escalade could probably use a little less chrome on the outside. But the interior is better IMO, throughout all year models. I like the cashmere NNBS interiors the most. My mom's has black and it shows wear easier and the wood is an ugly bright orange, sorta like on the Tahoes. I couldn't stand that and put Denali wood in mine. That dark burlwood on black looks amazing.

I love the look of this body style. The lines are so clean and simple. I think this is what make these trucks so popular. If you look at what the other automakers offer, nothing comes close to GM. All other brands of suvs have way too much chrome and the lines dont flow like they do on the new gm body style. As you can see by some of the trucks posted on here. It doesn't take much to make an already great looking truck into a show stopper! The only gripe I have, and its not only GM that is doing it, but it seems as the newer models come out manufactures always seem to figure out how to make stuff cheaper. Everything on new cars now a days is so much lighter and sometimes cheap looking compared to previous models.
