Why you ask? Because the general doesnt think i want it. Page 34 car and driver december 2004. Beautiful.a midsize diesel powered SUV and it is so handsome. However this will only be sold overseas. So leave it to the american automakers once again to make something, let the magazines tease us and then give us automatic onlys...........efin b's

Don't you just love the way they come up with what the consumer wants? I remember going to Central America about 10 years ago and seeing all kinds of full four door S-10s running around with five foot beds. Best you could get here was the extended cab with those god awful jump seats. Now look at the small trucks most are sold with full four doors. GM coulda been in the for front and smashed the competition if they sold those trucks here in the U.S. They don't care what the consumer wants. They tell us what we want then force it down our throats. A duramax powerd Tahoe would be a big seller. But if you want a diesel powerd SUV you gotta go with the Burb. But after recently comparing the Tahoe to the Burban. The Burban is the best of the two. The rear leg room in the second row is just atrocious in the Tahoe where the burban is nice. I compared overall length of the burban to my silverado and they were the same.

Too bad auto makers don't listen to the consumers as often as they should...

You think they would listen to us so that the autos would be improved greatly. I guess they don't see the $$$$$$ that would be produced IF they listened.....
