GMC's look better, but the Tahoe/sub/avalance front ends are really the best of them all. Put a Tahoe clip on a silverado and you got a winner in my book.
Keep in mind the design studio and the market groups are two separate entities. I'll leave it at that.

I will agree with you that, for several years, I have preferred the SUV front ends and wished they had been used on the pickups.
