I'm hallucinating that someday we might see something like an S10 ZR2 2-door again. Hindsight is myopic...the interiors were junk, door panels bulged when you raised and lowered the windows in the doors, and 190hp out of a wheezing 4.3 was nothing to write home about. But somehow, they were perfect. Proportions, versatility. In a world of trucks starting to wear mom jeans and dad shoes, bloating, and going crossover, the S10 was still a cool truck. I think GM almost has the feel with the new Colorado, but we need a ute!

The name Granite as a GTI instead of a 4x4 is weird.
I have S10's, and they've all gotten sloppier than when fresh. I think GM must have used some cheap ABS plastic in the wrong spots rather than a nylon that's multiple times stronger. Anyone onto S10's isn't going for luxury, even with Bravadas. Colorados just seemed intended for someone else.
I've test driven the newer 4.3 in the last gen full size truck WT, and liked it a lot, but not the full-size. I would've loved to see variants made with more cubes, odd-fire.
