Re: 2015 Colorado Reveal
I'll agree that the hood line is not correct on the renderings. But I'd bet the renderings are about 90-95% correct and give us a very good idea of what the U.S. spec Colorado will look like.

Re: 2015 Colorado Reveal
Based on similar underpinnings to the Colorado sold in select global markets, the North American Colorado is expected to showcase a new look inside and out, as well as entirely different powertrains from the global truck.

Re: 2015 Colorado Reveal
I don't think so. If the rumor of the diesel engine coming in the second year is true, then GM's statement remains accurate.

Re: 2015 Colorado Reveal
No regular cab is interesting. If that's true, they had better have added a normal standard bed length to the crew cab configuration in addition to that tiny thing they called a bed on the last Colorado crew cabs.

Re: 2015 Colorado Reveal
- no regular cab
- no manual transmission
- no ZQ8 sport suspension
I'm sure it will be a great truck, but I'm utterly disappointed with GM and Chevy (& probably GMC, too) for not offering those 3 things in the new truck.

Re: 2015 Colorado Reveal
I guess not offering a regular cab makes sense. There is only one wheelbase overseas which offers a regular cab long bed (8'), extended cab standard bed (6') and crew cab short bed (5'). For the US version they probably only wanted to develop one other wheelbase and between going smaller or larger, the crew cab 6' bed option would probably be the most profitable, and be easier to meet CAFE requirements with the larger footprint.
