Im not sure there are too many difference between the 07 and 08...i think all ive heard is the motorized nef bars. As far as nav goes, the OEM is much easier to work in my opinion, ive got in my hoe and love it. My girlfirend has it in her 03 hoe and it just frustrates me....its pretty complicated in my opinion and the volume control is a pain, but shes got it hooked to her steering wheel controls, but im not sure about the 07 and 08s

I bought an aftermarket D3. I get built in iPod controls, NAV, DVD, XM, etc...I paid $900. What's the OEM, $2K plus? I'm sure the OEM works just fine, but I'll take what I got any day over the OEM based on price alone.

Not a whole lot new. Couple of new colors like Blue Granite Metallic and Deep Ruby Metallic. Bermuda Blue Metallic, Amber Bronze Metallic, and Sport Red Metallic are gone (if I'm reading the GM thingy right...)

I have to say, I've seen several Tahoe's in Blue Granite Metallic and it looks really nice. Saw one with the Cashmere cloth interior and with the Black cloth interior. I think I like the Black interior best with the Blue Granite.

Looking forward to seeing the Hybrid model too.

I and several others have complained to GM about the dash gauges in the 2007 being hard to read in bright sunlight especially in areas like here in Arizona where you have to waer sunglasses during daylight hours. I saw a pic of the 2008 Hybrid dash and it appears they have changed the gauge pod to a better design? Can anyone confirm this? The 07's also had a problem with vibrating and wind noiseoutside rear view mirrors and it also appears they have changed them also to a different design?
