Re: Woodward Colorado pics!

I think the body kit makes it look like a Transformer. I'm expecting it to switch to Robot mode any time now.

Re: Woodward Colorado pics!

wow, what a letdown. The motor is beautiful, but they killed the looks. I liked the GTO, but this is bad. I'm in awe at the fact that they could have looked at it and said "yeah, this is how we want it to look".

you know that would look pretty cool with a nice red Autobot symbol on the hood or bed cover an updated version of the Autobot Gears

Re: Woodward Colorado pics!

How about they just stuff that engine into the regular colorado, that's lowered a little bit and with some nice 17" or so wheels. I would say that would be perfect.

Re: Woodward Colorado pics!

Slap that powertrain in an Exteme Colorado, and I'd buy. The open ends on the body kit (and pretty much the body kit in general) are nasty...

Re: Woodward Colorado pics!

Wow, whats with the 5 inch lift in the rear? The wide body kit looks bad. Could have been done better.
I hope we see a V8 or at least a turbo i-5 colorado in the future. This could mean a V8 in the H3.

Re: Woodward Colorado pics!

That thing was freaking BADASS in person. As was the orange widebody GTO (and it sounded MEAN).

You really need to see the Colorado in person. That think could hand a lot of sports cars their asses. Reg cab 2wd Colorados are pretty light to begin with. I'd take it over a Ram SRT-10 or a Lightning anyday, even if they didn't have the 325/xxR20s and the superwide body kit. That engine, that six speed, and some 18s or so with a suspension slightly lower than the ZQ8. I'm not a huge fan of sport trucks in general, but the compact pickups are no heavier (even lighter than) a midsize sedan, so it is not exactly a wasteful pig. Probably would get good fuel economy too with the deep overdrive of the six speed.

I'd be all over that truck in a second. Damn.

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, I spent most of my time looking at it from the front and side. I do agree that the widebody fenders probably should not be open in the back. I think the wide fenders look good, but not necessarily the opening at the rear.

Also on hand, for those that weren't there in person, were the blue 600 hp widebody Camaro from last year, as well as it's companion the white 400+ hp Firebird. That Camaro still looked fresh and badass!
