I'm going to keep saying it until it comes true.
Tahoe SS.
We need something to compete with the GC SRT8.

I would think that expanded use of the LSA would reduce per unit costs and increase the profitability of all the platforms using it.

Kinda like this?? ..... The Toyaholic version:

I was just hoping to get some more traffic into my Bob Lutz thread.

This kid seems to think he has a Tahoe SS already.

Yes. Just like a Lexus RX is. Those small luxury SUVs have always seemed like more of a middle aged womans car IMO.

Rather have this

Have you seen the new "Little Red Express"??

aka the 1500 Express from Ram?

My dad has an Escalade ESV just like that, and when it goes in for service he usually gets an SRX overnight. The technology in the SRX is superior to the Escalade to say the least, and I like the interior more. But I'm still not sure how I feel about the front end of the SRX. I think having a SRX-V would fix that problem though.

GM does need a new truck in their line up to compete with the Lightning and SRT-10. The raptor, sorry to say, is in a class of its own right now. Would really love GM to step up to the plate here as well.
