What I saw

[CutchZ71]

On my trip from Ohio to Fla and back, I spent most of the drive checking out all the different Tahoes, Yukons and Escalades on the road. I was hoping to see different color Z's but only saw three Z71's total and they were all black.:cool2: Definately more Yukons on the road, and I may be biased here but the Tahoe just looks awesome coming down the road. A lot of Black, white and gold non Z71's and they all looked great.

I personally would have preferred an Escalade but could not reason myself into spending 20K more. My Tahoe is basically the same body which I really liked so I loaded it up and I have been happy with it. Its a first year for the new body style... In the next few years they will be everywhere you look.

Yep, same for any cookie cutter vehicle........ Just modes of transportation.:sleep: :sleep:

I can't understand why there arn't many more sports red metallic Z71s or LTZs on the road. It's such an outstanding color especially with a titanium interior or the ebony and light titanium! Just looks sharp!

I won't be able to buy my Tahoe until early next year, around Mar or Apr. If the body style and interior doesn't change much in '08, then I wouldn't be upset to buy a fully loaded '07 in 2008! My choices for an '07 might be seriously limited. Of course I would try hard to get an '08 LT3 Z71 or a loaded LTZ.

Let's get some color on the roads!!!!! :clapping:

I am aware that the sports red metallic color is being dropped in '08 and replaced with ruby red. Got to see what that looks like in person!

My Tahoe is going to be my RETIREMENT present! 40 years working for the Government and I'm done! :thumbsup:

When I was in Kenosha, WI I saw a sport red Z71. That's the color I had for both of my Tahoe's and wish I had a GMT800 Z71 Tahoe with that color. When I get my GMT900 Tahoe it will be either Graystone Metallic or Sport/Ruby Red.

If you're so bored with your mode of transportation, why are you on here, Oh thats right every forum has at least a few :thumbsup:

I think you dont see too many red Tahoes because many people believe that a red vehicle that size is too easy a target for the police. I dont know if it is a target for the police though.
I think any color they are making looks good if it is clean and polished.
BTW, I have a Z71 with the ebony and titanium seats, Silver birch exterior.
I haven't seen any other Z71 tahoes on the road, I see a lot of Z71 pickups though.

 

[Guardian]

Rafael, you are probably Oh so right!

That could be my problem for sure! Of course, with the '08s, the color will be ruby red which might be darker and they'll just let met zoom on by! Right?

 

[Jordan23]

Well you worked for the Government so you can boss them around.

I just got back from vacation and Tahoe spotting as well, dam I'm not the only one that does this.

 

[Rafael]

I've also noticed that I see a lot of tahoes with dents on the rear bumper. Those folks should invest in a backup camera.

I see'em all the time around San Antonio. Keep pointing them out so much that my Wife just ignores me now! Oh, wait! She does that anyway!

It just kills me to be sitting in my Lexus RX330 and having to look up to see the driver in a Tahoe!!!! Man, that ain't right! My Lexus was an experiment gone bad! Very nice car; ain't no SUV! Way too small and I don't care what the dang gas mileage is!

I do have trouble finding the Tahoes around here sitting still ! I'd like to talk to the owners to find out how they really like their Tahoe! Where in S.A. did they buy theirs, how's the ride, etc...nothing like first hand information! Just gotta' catch one not movin' ! :thumbsup:

 

[LAP TOP GAMER]

Every one I've talked to love their Tahoe, some complain about the mileage, but what can you expect from a 5000LB tank.

 

[ChadTahoeZ71]

We had several months of searching but finally got our '07 Silver Birch Z71, Ebony interior, with just about every option available at the end of Feb. I then saw one identical to it on the lot 3 weeks ago. this is the only other Z71 I've seen.

 

[CutchZ71]

Its been somewhat surprising especially on a trip that far to only see three Z's, but at the same time other Tahoe drivers were looking hard and even a few thumbs up. First night at the Condo parked in a row were My black Z71 a new black LTZ suburban, a black Denali (previous model) and a new black navigator. I did see two black Z71 Avalanches and one sport red Av Z71 on the way down but the rest, and there were alot, were non Z's. All look fantastic coming down the road.

 

[LAP TOP GAMER]

I agree, they all look great coming down the road.:Chevy: :Chevy: :Chevy: :Chevy:

 

[izmir2002]

Last week i was driving to tulsa from st louis,i saw at least 25 "07" denali"s in 350 miles.i probably saw couple tahoe"s n escalades !!!!! i wish i payed extra 10 g and got escalade !!!

 

[Rafael]

That 10grand you saved by not buying an escalade will buy you years of gasoline and detailings.

 

[Guardian]

I second Rafael! $10K worth of gas money is a lot to spend on basically the same vehicle!

 

[LAP TOP GAMER]

Well 10k will get you more horse power.
