GM has finally gone full potato!!

Who is the moron signing off on all these horrible designs lately? No wonder they are closing up factories regardless of what their excuses are. This is quite possibly the ugliest thing with four wheels I've ever seen. I hope this isnt finished product. The HD Silverado was about the only thing left Chevy offered that still looked good outside of the Vette and ZL1 Camaro (talking 19 and up)

They'll fix it up at the next SEMA show....don't worry....Try just turning it upside-down...lol...

FWIW, I really don't see what all the upset is....I don't like it...I don't dis-like it....It's a humongous truck....why get all worked up over it?

The High Country looks a lot better. Hopefully they'll only use that grill on the work trucks & give everything else a normal face ... but I doubt GM'll do that

Here you go. Fixed it for you. Im upset because I use these trucks in my business. I dont want to show up to the shop in the mornings to a sea of ugly. I take pride in what our service trucks look like. I hate to say it, but I'll be switching to Super Duties if that is what they are going to look like. I have one of the new Super Duties bought when they came out for 2017 and its been a good truck so far in two years. Much better than the old design and looks far better than this 2020 if that is going to be what it looks like.

That’s “better”? Ugly, but not as much, I guess technically is an improvement.

Have to agree. Not as bad but not great especially for 70 to 80Gs for a top model.

While I'm not head over heals or anything, I think the High Country version is pretty decent. I'd drive it if I was considering an HD...although not sure I'd pick it over the new 2020 RAM HDs.

I think it looks as good or better than the current HD:

Still to busy on that front end but better with the bowtie than the Chevy across the font, not sure what GM is thinking, but time to get rid of some designers and find some new people with a better grasp of the finer points of automotive design. As a Cad Designer I'm sure I could do a better job than what they have done.

They put these in front of focus groups. You can thank your peers for this.
