Has anyone noticed that the Colorado ZQ8 is now called the Colorado "Sport".

I wonder if this designation will be carried throughout the Chevy line up.

Like maybe on the 2.4 Cobalt we've been talking about lately....for example.

I could see a Chevy "Sport" trim level compared to Ford's ST designation.

Any thoughts?

Sounds so generic.... :blah:

Like those cheap after-market pinstripe jobs you see on so many cars that say "Sport" on them....

I agree. It sounds like my friends Dakota 'sport'. I think this oculd be confused or a sad continuation of the 'corporate graphic packages' of years ago.

"Sport" just sounds like a generic label.

I believe it was always called Colorado Sport from day one. ZQ8 was just the RPO for the sport package.

Yep. Teh ZQ8 suspension was the RPO code left over from the S10's.

"SPORT"....definitely has a better ring to it than LT or LS.

Somehow, I seem to remember it previously being on the Chevy website as "Colorado ZQ8".

I'm trying reeeeeeally hard not to go trade my bonneville for a ZQ8 err....sport . Definately a sweet truck for the money . The one I looked at yesturday didnt have any sport designation on the body at all . The pkg. was called a sport pkg. though on the sticker . A ridiculously expensive as most of the other Colorado's seemed to be , Im surprised the ZQ8 was only 20,xxx pretty much loaded , it was a reg. cab .

It does, especially if the vehicle has the hardware to back it up.. My friend's Dakota 'sport' is a plain jane 4WD ext cab. Nothing sporty about it (not even off road suspension).

It's a double edged sword to me.

So my initial perseption when I see 'sport' on somthing is usually "nice sticker job". Of course a good advertising and marketing campaign can clear that up in a hurry.
