GM added a SUV to the Colorado range - maybe Holden will step up & do what Chevrolet seems reluctant to do.

Interesting in this article Colorado matches Ranger muscle the ute is also a one tonner! Also note the Brazilians were involved in the design. Maybe this will appear in the states too - if they remember to put the steering on the wrong side! j/k LOL

Go Holden!

I just wish the front wasn't so ugly. It makes it not look like a truck.

looks like an inbred Tacoma/sierra/f150 IMO.
I love our Colorado but I wish we got the V8....(06 crew cab Z71, wasn't a V8 option yet)

Wel the original concept renderings showed the cab and bed to be one piece. That made me worried because that could have been indicative of a unibody construction. (Think Honda Ridgeline uke. Seeing this, and reading for that matter it's built like a truck, it has a ladder frame.

My only complaint is the front end. While I don't hate the nose of the Equinox, I firmly believe that they missed the mark in using it, they should have designed something new for this truck, something a little more "square" I guess? I'll wait for the V8 option in this truck

I just thought of something though, if they use the Terrain front end on the GMC version... I'd think hard about buying this truck, especially with a V8 option, in 2wd extended cab... 2wd? T56 swap would be in the works... I can see it now.

yeah i don't like the way the headlight "stretch"back like that.. the rounder style looks good but they really need to do something bout those lights.. that bugs the hell out of me. Screw the 2wd, drop in a v8 and make it a 4x4 from factory.. ill buy it.. get a 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty on it.. run it through hell and at 90-99,000 miles blow the motor and trans at the same time, get them replaced under warranty Resale value.. will be... awesome!!!
