So I have found out some bad news.  2013 is going to be the last year for the Avalanche production.  (n)  In May the 2013 will start coming out.  They are going out with a bag with a "Black Diamond" edition.  It will have a special badge with some extra options for an LS and LT models.

I hate to see it go.

Interesting fact:  A special Avalanche was equipped to protect and transport the Olympic Flame during the Torch Relay prior to the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City; the relay covered more than 13,500 miles and passed through 46 states on its way to the Olympic Stadium for the Opening Ceremony on Feb. 8, 2002

How fitting that our national get together this year is in Salt Lake!?    :needhug:
 
I would love to get a last model myself but i don't want to give up my '04.  I have the cladding on my ave.  I think the cladding works really well on the aves and looks really good.  I understand that a lot of people don't like the cladding because it is hard to maintain and keep looking good, but it is worth the effort to me.
