Even though we saw the shots of the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse drop early this morning, we can now bring you the live reveal as it occurred only moments ago here at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show. The latest version GM's Lambda platform is replacing the long running Trailblazer - at least that's the way we see it - with the more car like and efficient platform. Expect to seen the new Traverse in family friendly mountain climbing and whitewater rafting advertisements in no time. We'll have the live reveal gallery and any surprise details as soon as we can. Here's the gallery in all it's Traverse-y goodnesss, no surprises on this one unfortunately.
