Question Any more info/news on Colorado/Canyon?

It must seem like I ask this every five minutes, but does anyone have any news or spyshots of these upcoming trucks?

Just anxious...

I so hope their there, I'm excited to see these things. I can't wait for the replacement of the S10, its long overdue.

BTW: has anyone noticed that Chevy now has the namesplates Colorado, Avalanche in their line-up now? Can't they get sued for that?

Its pretty sad that two trucks coming out of DETROIT are called the "Colorado" and the "Avalanche". Now think hockey for a second here. . . . . Who is Detroit's arch-nemesis?

Jeff,

Go to your local Chevy dealer and put a deposit on the first SWB, 4X4, reg cab Colorado that comes in. Will that make you happy!?!?

I have now realized that I am the Randy Moss of truck buying. Just never happy.

Thanks for the grinding, Dax. I needed it!

So far, so good. The grille looks more intimidating than the TrailBlazer. Not sure I'm nuts about the large plasticy fender flares.

Thanks!

Looks like a mini version of the previous generation Silverado, albeit slightly more modern. It does look 500 times better than the soccer-mom face on the Trailblazer though. probably a small step in the right direction

ROTFLMAO!!!!

Randy Moss, that's pretty funny!!

You're about as patient as my kids waiting on Santa! It'll be here. I hope that you wait and don't buy that Dodge you talked about a few weeks back! I hope I can afford to buy one when they come out as well.

As far as the grinding, no problem. What are friends for?

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays right back at ya!

As far as the idea of a Dodge, As usual, I came to my senses about 22 hours after I posted it on here. I should have let you know.

I'll keep the current S10 over a new Dodge. Man I can't believe I even thought that.

I'm looking forward to it as well but have reservations about the engines.

From what I understand the truck will move up to
Dakota size, so the weight will go up.

And the best engine is a 5cly....NA? 225lbs of torque.....gee it'll be a slug.

A Dakota has V8 for cryin out loud...maybe a HEMI in future.

I think the 4.2L or 5.3 V8 should be avaible.
