2015 Chevy Colorado

[Darkanion]

Some info from Motor Trend

Instead of seeing this as a rehashed truck from another market, though, it's more accurate to look at it as a scaled-down Silverado, as few of the chassis components are shared with the global truck. The frame is about 40 percent lighter than the global Colorado's frame; the new unit is fully boxed and uses liberal amounts of high-strength steel. Comparing crew cab to crew cab, the Colorado is 900 pounds lighter, 5 inches narrower, 3 inches lower, and 16 inches shorter than the Silverado.

I know they've all but said the V6 is going to be the 3.6, but that new torquey Gen V 4.3 would be a pretty sweet mill for a truck of this size.

Altough this one has a smaller engine, it's kinda weird that it has a more sophisticated engine than the Silverado since a compact/midsize truck is theorically intended to be cheaper.

Man, it reminds me a lot of a frontier!

Yeah.

They both have four wheels.

It's not as narrow as a Frontier or a Tacoma.

I saw something that said they're having a diesel for this.

I'm not a compact truck type of guy, but I am keeping tabs on this one :lurker:

They stated its supposed to get a 2.8L 4 cylinder turbo diesel for 2016. But a lot can change between now and then.

According th the Chevy website it's not going to be available for another year period. Fall of 2014.

WTF?

I had a similar reaction when I read that. Why even fWONkin' announce it right now if it's still another YEAR away from hitting the streets?!

I guess that gives me a year to save, look at other things, and probably buy something else!

Agreed. A LOT can change, like announcing something prematurely and giving your competition some time to respond (or at least have something THEY are talking about that will be out "next")..
