I could see this truck making production with little changes (probably mostly wheels and details in the headlights/taillights) and then slapping a Chevy Bowtie and you got your Chevy Colorado...

not a bad looking truck.

 

Its like that grill is destined for a bowtie.

We'll probably see them here in about 2 years.

 

That same God awful front end...

 

To each his own I guess... I actually love the design.

 

As I said in the other thread...

 

You are right.

 

I was in the exact same boat as you. Looked at Colorado's, including the V8, and even an H3. At the end of the day I drove home in a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4-door with a soft top. It is my first Jeep and my only regret so far is not buying one sooner! The only problem with Jeeps is they make any accessory you can think of and it is so hard to resist. Two weeks of ownership and I just dropped over $500 on toys for the Jeep!

 

I'm liking what I see so far of the new Colly.

I would seriously consider replacing mine with a new one if the following criteria are met:

- regular cab
- short bed
- 2wd (RWD)
- 3.6 L V-6
- 6-spd manual trans
- limited slip or locking rear end
- sport suspension package
- top notch interior with best materials available
- all the gadgets (like the Sync system, keyless entry, remote start, pushbutton ignition, etc.)

And the most important part:
- has to be built in the U.S. with a majority of U.S. sourced parts

If they can give me that, then the new Colorado could very well be my next DD.

 

Get rid of that goofy thing behind the cab, give it a "normal length" short bed and I WANT IT!!!

 

If this thing is not a complete ****box like the current Colorado, and it is priced right, this should sell well. A V8 Colorado sounds interesting untill you realize it costs as much as a V8 Silverado.

 

Yeah Honda came out with that like 5 years ago - Ridgeline

I want something like this too but Ridgelines are super ugly and Avalanches are super expensive.

 

If it is okay to go by Chevrolet's recent progress with Cruse, Malibu, etc., I think that this has a chance to be significant, and recapture the small-truck segment while simultaneously reviving it.

I think if it does, it will be a severe mistake not to bring it stateside.

 

That extra stuff on the bed is just an elaborate tonneau cover. The sides aren't built in like the Ridgeline.

 

this is a concept.. so i am sure that they will offer all kinds of cabs/bed configurations.. maybe not the 1st year but depending on how it sells...

 

Expect a standard, extended, and crew cab as usual.
