The Colorado refresh and/or 3rd gen should be very interesting within the next few years. Are they going to skip the MCE?

I can't imagine why they would skip an MCE on the GM mid-size twins especially when a nice new player is in town. If they do, the only reasons I can come up with are that they figure the trucks are still selling well enough, that there is no reason to do an MCE and just wait a few more years for a new generation....OR its not worth the investment to do an MCE. Either seems strange to me, in this day in age when almost everything gets an update every 3 - 4 years and a new gen every 6 - 8 years.
I like the Ranger. But not really much if any more than the Colorado/Canyon. The Ranger is likely overall class leading at this point, but not by much. An interior/exterior update alone would put it basically even with the Ranger and if they go a step further and make the 2.7 an option I think that makes the GM twins a leader again. They say the Ranger rides nice, but I doubt its much if any better than the GM trucks. One review I read was praising it against the Tacoma, but nothing in regards against the Colorado/Canyon.
