One thing that I haven't seen mentioned on this board is an interest in a manual shift option for the Av!
Am I the only one that still thinks that trucks should be of the 'shift-it-yourself' variety??
All but one of my last 5 vehicles (before the Av) have had manual transmissions. I have a '87 S-10 Blazer, and as underpowered as it is with the 2.8 L V-6, it's still a blast to horse around in the snow, sand, or offroad. And (IMO) the stick shift is part of the experience.
I still go for the clutch when I get in the Av - with dissappointment as my left foot hits nothing but air! If Chevy did make a manual transmission available in future years, I might just consider trading.
But, alas, stick shifts in upper trim SUV's / Trucks are going the way of dinosaurs - guess I just need to buy a 'Vette !!!
