Looks like the Honda Ridgeline for sure. The issue with Colorado truck is that is was one of the worst buys just a couple years ago, top 10 worst vehicles according to JDpower.

That would be nice. I'm partial to my HD and wouldn't buy a small truck, because doesn't fit my needs. I loved my ZR2 S-10 and hope that Chevy put a hurt on Toyota again.

Well as a truck nut myself it has a lot of take it or leave it things in my opinion and while it is in the R&D stages one thing I really like is the fact that it has a diesel.

I really wish GM would bring the diesel motor to the smaller trucks. I have the Duramax in my 2500 and love it, the only thing that keeps me from buying a 1500 is the power aspect for pulling, sure the 5.7 liter will pull but at 8 mpg and the strain on the truck is not good.

I am sure the design will get tweaked a little. One thing I would definitely like to see in ALL GM Vehicles that claim any type of towing is intergrated brake controller, well worth the money as an option or standard equipment.

I like it..Would think about trading in the taco for that

The styling screams uni-body at me, not liking it.

Give me an option that has good fuel mileage and I'll get one.

Not bad for a toyonda.

After the s-10 everything has gone down hill to me.
I do think we need a GREAT small/midsize truck, Iam not sure this it.

Morepwr · 03-21-2011, 01:25 PM

Yuck. That thing is just wrong. Looks like a mini avalanche. I miss the S10.

Probably isn't if GM is planning only selling it in Thailand and India from what I have read so far. The compact truck market has been dead for about a good 15 years. Like the station wagon and mini-van the compact truck isn't coming back in force anytime soon. Hell, if the RWD full-size could make a come back maybe there is hope?

Take off the piece at the end of the cab and they would have something there. I like it.

And put the wheel on the left. LOL
