I don't mind some chrome, but the Denalis do have a LOT of it. The full size truck segment loves that though so.

I don't like chrome but minimal chrome accents can look good, but most are starting to look like the truck was bedazzle. I would just be happy if they took all the chrome out of the INTERIOR of the cars, or at minimum keep them off the dash and center consoles.

Chrome can die in a fire.

Good luck with that ... the steel that makes the car will melt before the chrome does. It has a very high melting point.

Unless you were talking about the web browser from Google. If so, yes kill it with fire(fox).

Anything for a retort huh? I bet you're real fun at parties.

My guess is most of this chrome is just ginger-bread plated plastic. The chrome might outlast the actual plastic in a fire....lol...

Chrome wheels, chrome steel bumpers, more traditional and durable. It will be interesting to see how long the bling holds up on chrome plated plastic grilles and plastic trim parts.

I still like it, but it can be overdone.

I don't hate chrome...not at all, unless it is just overdone. Just saying, it will likely be a lot of chrome lol.

Anyone else hear about a possible C7 special edition reveal next weekend?

FenwickHockey65 · 01-20-2019, 03:56 PM

Yeah, it's Corvette Racing themed.

I guess that means we won’t be seeing the C8 any time soon.

Denali's do have a lot of chrome. And in places where it really shouldn't be.

The funny thing is all the GMC Sierra's get chrome bumpers except the AT4 and Denali. Yet they plaster chrome mirror covers, door handles, and window trim.

I've already swapped my mirror covers for the body color ones, door handles are next, and the entire grill surround is also getting body color treatment to break-up the chrome on the front end.

To comment on GMC's HD - already looks infinitely better in the front than the Silverado. Still not a huge fan of the new headlight design though.

I'd guess New York, if not then it'll be a standalone event.
