2014 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra: Details Before 2013 Detroit Auto Show Debut
GM doesn't get tricky with new-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra: three body styles, three box lengths and a V6 and two V8s backed by a six-speed automatic.

Leave it to Edmunds to take the most negative spin it can with any new GM introduction. They probably had this alternate version ready just in case: "Edmunds says: GM takes risks with its new generation of full-size pickups. The market will determine if the General should've been more conservative, particularly with styling."
Gone is the humor, well written prose, and the relationship with readers.
Now Edmunds has become just another tool for consumers looking to squeeze another $125 off their next Camry purchase!
Hope you guys enjoy bankruptcy court cause that is what happens when you abandon your market!
I'm outta here!
I have been a huge GM fan most of my life, especially the trucks, but this is terrible.
What changed? Who designed this thing? GM constantly gets bashed for plain generic trucks. So what do they do? The come out with an even more generic truck.
The interior is even worse.
I didn't think the 2007-13 good get any worse, boy was I wrong.
Sorry GM, I am no longer a customer.

I had a laugh when some blog said that GMs new V6 would be designed to be a truck engine only. I guess that is a snide remark about the VERY popular Ford EcoBoost V6, which of course is used in other vehicles. Perhaps GM should wait and see what buyers will buy-- before they immediately begin bragging.
I was hoping for a nice, close rivalry between Ford and GM. But now it seems like it will be slow business as usual-- for GM anyway. I can hear thousands of pickup buyers heading for the Ford store after seeing these photos. What a shame.
1. It was posted immediately.
2. All my paragraphs were mashed together into a stream of sentences. Should be interesting to see what it does with this post. Ah, well, just more things we have to put up with, I guess.
GM you represent the past.
I didn't know that those existed.

Lets see which ones went through...
Since that seems to have fooled the customers so well, now GM is back at it with their ads that trumpet the use of "rolled"steel in their trucks. Any steel that is not cast, is "rolled" steel. The people that run this site, Edmunds, co-operate in this sham by suggesting that "rolled" steel is a superior alternative to stamped steel. I'm sure these jackasses understand that all stamped steel starts as rolled steel.
GM has such contempt for the public and are certain that the media will not call them on their advertising statements. Now, of course, they are not lieng to the public. What they say is true. But it is nonetheless intended to deceive. And if the media was not so corrupt, they would be being called on this...I dare say, rediculed on this point.
What GM seems not to understand is that the true signal is not what is going on in Chrysler styling, but what is happening in the economy. When the economy is bubbling at a fast pace, buyers are going to prefer more exaggerated styling. To follow Dodge styling as a signal from the marketplace is a fundamental mistake. Today, though, we don't have that boiling economy. But the current success of Dodge has GM confused They think the marketplace is signaling that it wants the more exaggerated themes seen in Dodge truck styling. So, GM is hedging their bets with a mismash of traditional GM styling themes and the newer Dodge exuberance.. Someone in GM management is believes the risk of ignoring Dodges success it to much in a segment that produces such a large proportion of GM's profits. To my eye, styling of GM's trucks has been taken out of the hands of the stylists and subjected to excessive control by the "suits"..
