Re: Chevrolet Colorado Rally Concept
I will be in the market for a new daily driver in the next 2-3 years, possibly less.
I need something with:
As it stands right now, Chevrolet needs to build something like this, or I will have to buy Jeep. I don't want to...but I need what I need.
I need something with:
- Room for passengers
- AWD/4WD
- Reasonable gas mileage
- Moderate towing ability
- Ample gear storage options
- Good for urban use as well as non-urban use
- Adequate for travel during the impending zombie apocalypse

I love the idea of this truck. Not crazy about the design though.
The raptor is a nice looking truck. Sure it is over the top and completely unnecessary, especially around here, but I like it. I would just prefer something smaller, and the price tag is ridiculous.
This is definitely something I would be more interested in, and should come in a lot cheaper. I plan on buying a cheap 4x4 beater for winter/the beach within the next year and putting some money into it. Something like this would seem to make a nice DD, and I turn the GTO into a weekend car instead of my DD.
We will see what happens though. Seems pretty unlikely to come to the states.

Re: Chevrolet Colorado Rally Concept
I like it. Although it doesn't look like a Chevy for some reason. It would be a home run in the compact truck market.
This is one of those few cases when a production model would probably look better than the concept.
