Images of this Tahoe-based prototype are a rarity, but I found it interesting.

Why wasn't the current Tahoe given a mid-cycle refresh along the lines of this prototype?

I actually kind of like it...except for the fact that this is most definitely a chop.

Are we sure this is real and not a Vince Burlapp photoshop? Maybe they put it through clinics and it didn't do well. I personally don't think it looks too good.

Yeah, that was an old chop taking "original" Avalanche front nose pieces and then matching them with a new chrome bumper onto a Tahoe. Definately looked interesting, though, and shows what the '03+ Silverado nose should have looked like if done properly.

I was going to say that that is Mexico's version of the Suburban, except the front bumpers don't match. So, now it looks like a chop.

I don't like it. I think it's too soft looking and the front styling doesn't match the rest of the car. It's LHD, though.

Looks pretty good with the Avalanche front end.

Nope, TOTALLY different front end. The Mexican Suburban uses what used to be the '03-05 Silverado front end, and this picture above is nothing more than a chop taking a Tahoe and then putting on the front grille area and lights from an original cladded Avalanche (that's why it actually looks kinda cool... http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/AH-HA_wink.gif ) and a basic bumper that's most likely the one stock on the Tahoe--all of that is just kind of melted together then.

You know, either way it looks like the front end it melting off!
