The 2007 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab Z71 Plus is an off-road enthusiast’s dream interpretation of one of Chevrolet’s most popular trucks – the just right-sized Colorado crew cab. Keeping with the rugged Z71 image, the suspension has been fitted with HUMMER H3-derived components, front and rear. Custom-milled 20 x 9-inch alloy wheels are wrapped with aggressive 285/50R20 off-road tires. Underneath the restyled front fascia, hood and fenders is a powerful 320-horsepower 5.3L V-8. Fuel enters the Colorado via a unique, racing-style ITW spherically actuated fuel fill system. The cargo box bed and rear bumper were restyled and a roof rack/light bar was added. The custom paint job combines light green metallic, bright aluminum and light charcoal for a stunning high tech look. The leather interior is upscale yet durable.

while i am a big fan of the current front end, I see this as an upgrade. It may be a bit over the top, so i completely understand some people hating.

The frontend is horrible, but I like the powertrain choice.

As I said over on GMInsidenews-

Enlarge the headlights slightly and it'd be perfect.

I love it's agressive look.

yea, the front end needs some tweaking, especially the headlights, but I definantly like the direction they took with this show vehicle.
