Lower priced and better MPG...and since the Ford Ranger is out - there is a huge hole that could be filled.

the s series in GMs eyes burned out. they tried to get the s10 customers to buy a colorado with the v8 that we wanted since 1982.
they didnt keep up with the things that needed to be fixed, such as the noisy interiors, leaky oil cooler lines and all the stuff i cant think of. and that is why they lost the sales, the interest is and was always there but they didnt satisfy the customers in terms of fixes
the 2.2 is (as it was) out of production. but something can fill in for it. the 4.3 needs to be updated to sell more if it were in the s10 again, it has not had a power increase since 1996.
they still sell the s10 and blazer in brazil. americans want to buy them, they are just not listening to us.
they are dropping the trailblazer , actually yesterday the plant closed.
they need a midsize suv, they just made it too big, same with the colorado
they are not mini trucks anymore
too bad the linden plant was destroyed, had the requirements to produce the brazil s10, it is a mixture of 94-97 and 98+ parts,
the colorado is due for a body/interior change anytime. should be totally updated or dropped in 2014 (following the 5 year refresh , and 10 year "generation" change, that exists on most gm platforms)
the trailblazer was due for a refresh but was not worth it to gm. if they drop the colorado anytime soon i expect to see a new GMT325 variant soon after
