production next generation Chevy Colorado
http://en.chevrolet.co.th/experience...the-world.html
Looks like an Equinox pickup. I like the crew cab version, but I'm not sure how I feel about the regular cab version. I guess I'll have to wait until I see it in person. I'm sure the US built truck will be tweaked for American tastes.
What I really love is the engine:
I'd love to see this engine in the Silverado too. Any ideas what MPG would be? upper mid 20's hwy?

What I really love is the engine:
The 2.8-liter engine is rated at 180 horsepower (132 kW) and 346 lb.-ft. of torque (470 Nm) with an available six-speed automatic transmission (324 lb.-ft. / 440 Nm with a five-speed manual).

Re: production next generation Chevy Colorado
Wow. Suddenly my previous affliction for the redesigned Colorado went limp. It looks like a minivan with a truck bed. Too polite. And the interior doesn't really look like anything "GM" except maybe a piece or two of switchgear. Otherwise, IMO, it kinda looks like maybe it was built by Daewoo.
I'm really hoping we get a wildly different interior and a few American/ roughneck tweaks. lol
and some kind of high output V6 (gas 3.6, anyone?) ...in addition to a diesel option. GM would really have a unique offering if you could get a 5-speed or 6-auto diesel 4x4 combo.

And still no 6-spd manual?
And no gas engine?
The bed doesn't look right; like it was just tacked onto a minivan body.
And what's going on behind the side windows of the regular cab? Not attractive at all.

Re: production next generation Chevy Colorado
looks better than I thought it would, Im still not totally sure though. Ill have to see it in person. It looks quite large though, or at least bigger than I thought it was supposed to be. You cant tell that from pics though
, except for the diesel.
