New guy rant in...3...2...1

Just more acronyms for todays world. NNBS was an oddball when it took off but hey, it works.

It's great when listening to discussions at the truck meets, sounds like all the GM guys are stuttering

I never thought of it like that!

yeah, that's just absurd. I NEVER actually speak the acronyms other than "OBS" SOMETIMES but I almost always refer to them by their GM platform names. The acronyms made sense at one time when they were thought of 10 years ago but not as much anymore

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Unless I'm on the forums I usually just refer to them by their year ranges. Most ppl I'm talking to understand that more

To me still, if its not current, its old body style. 2013 is old body style. But since the forums came up with the nomenclature, and to avoid getting torn apart on certain forums ::cough GMFS:: its best to just continue to use them.

I kind of like the nn acronyms, keeps it different from any other vehicle you might talk about.

 

[SUBURBIAN]

A bigger issue than the naming is why GM changes the body style so often. Makes absolutely no sense.

 

[CHOO CHOO]

Almost every car manufacturer changes body style every 5 to 6 years. Nothing new tbh....

It's happening a bit more frequently than every 5-6 years. Maybe that's part of the reason why a GD full size SUV costs as much as a house nowadays.

Back in the day (pre-80's) body styles would change almost every year
