Cough...Diesel...Cough

Probably not. VF Commodore is being revealed the same day. Which reminds me...

And send them to me first. :D

Eh. Maybe.

Updating the first post with some stuff I forgot.

Diesel....mhmmmmmm.

Finally have some new Colorado news.

http://rumors.automobilemag.com/2014...#axzz2IaMGIg47

This looks familiar. Even under camo.

There might be some front end and interior tweaks but overall, the overseas-spec Colorado is mostly what we'll get.

There's a Canyon coming as well.

Considering how the midsize market is currently owned by Tacoma, if GM plays their cards right they could have a hit on their hands. Fuel economy will be the name of the game with these trucks.

If you could just see my grin:D

Some new stuff to bring up...

2014 Holden VF Commodore Reveal
-The long awaited (and possibly the final) next-generation Commodore will be revealed in Australia this Saturday. Which brings us to...

2014 Chevrolet SS Reveal
-The US market's version of the Commodore, the Chevrolet SS, will be unveiled next Saturday, February 16th, before the NASCAR event on that day.

Fairfax Assembly Drama
-Fairfax Assembly has been idled for two weeks as inventories of LaCrosse and Malibu mount. Both cars are scheduled for a refresh for the 2014 model year.

2013 Chicago Auto Show
-Press days start this Thursday. So far I have no idea what will be unveiled. Chevrolet is having a press conference that day so I am assuming (and a few other sources concur) that the 2014 Cruze will be revealed.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze
-Cruze is supposed to be getting a facelift to bring it in line with the 2014 Impala/Malibu. In addition, this year marks the arrival of the much coveted diesel Cruze, which may deliver fuel economy figures close to 50 MPG.

50 mpg?

GM is coming out of the corner swinging. Great to see them pushing harder.

My girl is going to flip for the new tahoe. I feel my wallet shrinking. ..thanks gm. No seriously thanks :wub:

That's what we're not sure about. Last month a rumor came up that the diesel Cruze would do around the Cruze Eco's FE figures. As disappointing as that sounds, you have to remember that A) The 2.0L Turbodiesel is a much more powerful engine for Cruze and could make it an even more fun to drive car than the 1.4T and B) The Cruze Eco achieves 42 MPG with a manual. If the Cruze Diesel achieves around 42 MPG with an automatic, it'll be appealing to a lot of people.

Right now I'm guessing low to mid 40s for an automatic, and close to 50 for a manual. Just a guess.

Its an exciting venture for any american car maker. Im glad to see gm taking a step forward in this class that has up until now been ignored for so long. Mainly because of ignorance though im sure there are many more factors taken into consideration. Either way its promising.

I would like to see a platform similar to this in a light duty diesel truck offering as well the suv/crossover segment.

Supposedly the head of GM Holden said work on the Commodore after VF has already begun.

I wouldn't take that as 100% confirmation that the Commodore lives, but...let's hope so.

Hi there, I'm new at this forum. I know that all of you are updated to issues regarding car, I have read a news that The Big Three car makers in Detroit have made it back onto their feet. Even GM, which lapsed into bankruptcy, is turning a profit. Yet the city of origin - Detroit - needs much more of a push. What should the Motor City do?
