First Drive: 2012 Chevrolet Colorado Global Edition

Hmmm. Not great but I'd take it over the 09+ F150s

I disagree!

Okay, I've stared at this thing long enough. What's the damn deal with the hip on the back door/window area and the tiny rear window?

Just fixing those two things could make it a lot more appealing. I get the ugly front end if the goal is aerodynamics and moar MPG's. I don't get the windows at all.

Hell the caved in bedside looks worse than the door styling and rear window. That bedside has to be fiberglass too. It all around looks pretty bad.

The bedside and fiberglass don't bother me a bit because I can't get past the horrible fucking windows to really be able to see anything else.

Fiberglass bedsides? That would be interesting, since it's not an usual feature in Asian trucks. But an all-fiberglass bed would be even better, avoiding the need for a bed liner...

Any word on what the US engines will be? I'm betting you can't get a V8 anymore.

The frog eye front end looks are terrible.

Not sure about the V8, but the inline-5 is going to be phased out and replaced by the High-Feature 3.6L V6.

I saw one today. RWD with a 5spd manual transmission and the same old Vortec 2.4L...
