Have any of you guys seen the first long-term check-in review on their Z71 Av? I just got mine today, and it is evident that some real dopes work for them! Here are some quotes:
"Let's get something out of the way: You either love how the Avalanche looks, or you hate it (one staffer said the Avalanche wasn't beat with the ugly stick, it is the ugly stick).
600 Miles
Davis calls the Avalanche ?a remarkable vehicle.? He finds the ride, handling, and roadholding to be very composed, better than some passenger cars.
936 Miles
Executive editor Mark Gillies blasts the Avalanche with both barrels, calling it a monster with a shoddy interior, too-light steering, and poor rear visibility.
2,441 Miles
Associate editor Joe DeMatio, the peacekeeper, admits that the steering effort is a trifle light but says the Avalanche does drive rather like a car.
2,850 Miles
Copy editor Matt Phenix joins the fray, defending the Avalanche?s driving manners and interior quality compared with those of Ford?s big trucks.
So, what do you all think? Shoddy interior? I don't think so! Too-light steering? A little, but it's not bad at all! "It is the ugly stick"? Really, if it's so ugly why have we never gotten anything from people other than "It's so cool" or "it's beautiful?" Well, I guess opinions are just opinions!
