General Motors Company (GM): Is the 2015 Chevy Tahoe Good Enough?

Page 2 of 2

Americans still buy about a quarter-million full-sized SUVs every year, and the Tahoe and its corporate siblings have a 74% share of that market. That doesn’t add up to the kind of sales numbers GM gets with its full-sized pickups, but it’s still a lot of vehicles.

And these are seriously profitable vehicles, too: According to Edmunds, the average transaction price on the full-sized Chevy and GMC SUVs is more than $52,000 – big bucks. And a lot of those bucks represent profit for GM.

The verdict: Again, GM looks to have delivered

Critics panned the first photos of GM’s pickups, because the vehicles didn’t look all that different from the old models. But after reviewers got to drive them, a lot of improvements became apparent. Now, the new pickups are selling very quickly.

I suspect it’ll be the same kind of thing for these new SUVs when they start arriving at dealers early next year. They’re not revolutionary, but big SUV buyers mostly aren’t looking for “revolutionary”; they’re looking for “better.”

And I think “better” is what GM is bringing to market here. What do you think? Do these new SUVs look like winners? Scroll down to leave a comment and let me know.
