Default New Small truck for GM?

From autoblog:

http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/27/r...w-small-truck/

What do you think? I'd love to see a new small truck. I'm with AB, I was never really a fan of the Canyon/Colorado. they were nice looking truck, but outrageosly overpriced.

I like the Canyons, and think that the crew cab offroad 4x4 package is pretty BA, but then again, I also liked the s10 crew cab.... Makes me think Blazer with a bed...

The article points out the reasons for lack of sales for small trucks quite well. Personally, I think the concept is great, it's been the executions that have held them back.
And, no, we will not see the reintroduction of the S10/Blazer.

I like the idea of a new truck from GM but, I did always think the Colorado SS looked awesome even though it had a big price tag.

Yeah I deffinetly like the look of the Colorado, but I could go for something else, if executed well, and if the price is lowered.

The Colorado isn't bad looking, and it has some great engines, but the quality is awful. I looked at one not long ago, and you could see wires where they put a hole in the carpet for the seat belt.

The few I've seen weren't that way, but why the hell would they do that?

I like the Canyon better than the Colorado, but I know I'm the minority on that one.

The Equinox isn't even on a truck frame though. It's on a car frame and has a car engine.

I'd like to see a new small truck by GM but I don't know if it will happen. The small truck mantra of being low priced an reliable still plays out today in the vast used auto market. Small trucks are everywhere in used lots and can be had for cheap.
