GMC Denali XT Hybrid Concept

Its chopped roof and squarish profile make this GMC 4x4 look like a beefed-up Chrysler 300, but its smoothed edges and low, hunkered stance suggest this is also the Mercedes CLS of pickups.

The styling works, and while a production version would likely be toned down, the Denali XT's two-mode hybrid system and E85-capable V8 have already proven up to the task. Let's hope there's more sporty pickups like this on the road.
