As far as I know current Colorado production is still scheduled to end in June. Order now - this is the last time you will ever see a V8 in a smaller truck.

 

Progress...
GM begins $380m plant expansion for production of Chevrolet Colorado

 

Exactly what I was thinking. That Bowtie doesn't even look right on there. And I love the current Colorado, but that thing is hideaous.

 

Agreed. I hate to say it, but, the Tacoma is starting look more appealing to me.

 

The bed looks so awkward on the truck. I'm still going with my reaction that it looks like an equinox/traverse found a bed to tie to it's rear.

The proportions on the truck looks so awkward and I hope that is addressed but I doubt it will be.

 

I really, really don't think we will be getting the same bed as the Asian countries that will see the new Colorado first. It just won't work in this market, and they know that.

 

Terrible looking truck! Does GM think "hey that uplander sold like hotcakes, we should put that front end on everything!"

Aside from the looks, it sounds like a good truck.

 

North America won't be getting that truck. We get the 2015 model after it has had a MCE.

 

Here's a couple pics a Coloradofans member in Thailand put up. Its the first private pics Ive seen:

 

 

I like it (except for the green wheels).

Nice to see that the front end is more square though who knows what kind of padding is actually under there.

 

I didn't see it mentioned in that article, but to me the huge potential takeaway here is that it appears as though they will now offer both bed lengths with the crew cab, as Toyota does with the Tacoma. In the photo that shows two trucks, the truck in front has the wheel well immediately behind the back of the cab, as other crew cab compacts do. The other two photos (truck #3 going by the rear window stickers) show a longer space between the back of the cab and the rear wheel well.

Maybe a bad illusion, but that's how it looks to me. The current trucks offer a 5'5" bed on the crew cabs, while regular and extended cabs have a 6'1" bed. It would be really cool to be able to have that extra 7" and still have the crew cab rear seats.

 

It also looks like we'll be getting a restyled bed. The tires are sticking out in the rear because the fender flares aren't incorporated on the bed like on the foreign trucks. The flares would then be separate like the current trucks.

 

On a side note, the new Ranger has been seen in the US but with no camo at all...





Much better looking than the Colorado IMO.
