Where did the front bumper caps inspiration come from on the 2007 Chevy 2500HD?

Dunno Man, I like Chevy but damned if that aint one ugly truck. :yuk: Looks like they had a little extra space between the headlights and bumper so they hammered out an old hubcap, stuck it on there and said ta hell with it. :rolleyes:

I think Pixar may take insult to the comparison. That truck defines ugly.

That truck defines ugly.
You haven't seen the 3500HD duallies then....big ol' rear fenders with little itty bitty tires. Really stupid looking.

Why are the fenders cut open so high up?

Totally unbalanced and aesthetically unpleasing. G.M. should lynch the design crew. What a sad day.

I think it's all about being different. Personally, I'd find it extremely difficult to own a truck that looks like that but then I didn't like the previous generation, either.
I don't like the new Dodge styling, either.
Give me a late 90s Dodge or late 90s GM, style wise. I have no idea what this new shit is all about.

Wonder what it will look like when some lifts it?
