Looks good so far. I'd love to have a next generation Colorado as my daily driver. In 4x4 Z71 form. The current 3.0 V6 would be adequate as standard equipment, but an optional 3.6 V6 would be awesome! A V8 option would be awesome too, but I don't see that happening this time around.

This w/ a diesel would be sweet! I really like the look of the front. Can't see the back too well, but it doesn't look like it fits. I hope it is as curvey as the front.

They started offering a 5.3L V8 putting out 300hp and 320 lb-ft of torque in the Colorado in 2009.

The I5 was interesting, but I was skeptical of it. Hope they switch the next gen to having the option of a V6 or a V8, and maybe throwing a turbo diesel in the mix as well

It's a pity they don't offer the 2/3LT with a 6spd. 4:10 gears and a 5.3L.. oh well just slap a stall on that b!tch.

THIS.

A loaded up colorado or canyon seems like 3 grand less than a full size..... if you are going to spend 29ish, may as well spend 32ish.

Some people don't want/need the full-size, but still want a truck bed to move the occasional object or two...

Now, it'd be freakin' awesome if the new Colorado has a solid front axle

Interesting, it looks quite luxurious. I'll be awaiting pics of the interior.
