#41 of 1033 crew-cab S10 and Sonoma small pickups through 2005 by ghislain

Interesting statement By Dave Guilford

DETROIT - General Motors will assemble crew-cab versions of the Chevrolet S10 and GMC Sonoma small pickups through 2005 as it sells their replacements.
 
The Sonoma and S10 are built in the Linden, N.J., truck plant, which also builds the Chevrolet Blazer mid-sized SUV. GM's small pickups will be replaced by the mid-sized Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, which will arrive in late fall from the retooled Shreveport, La., plant.
 
Tom Wallace, vehicle line executive for mid-sized trucks, says that although the new pickups will have nine models, GM would be short of crew cabs without the Linden production.
 
Wallace said the Colorado and Canyon will be offered in regular, extended and crew-cab versions, each with regular, sport and high-trim packages.
 
GM projects annual sales of up to 175,000 Colorados and up to 40,000 Canyons.

#42 of 1033 Could be a winner.... by mbatchelor

If fuel prices keep rising and if the crewcab with the I5 can get between 20-25mpg highway it should be a winner.
 I'm going to give GM at least a year to work the bugs out before making my decision.

The mpg on the 2.8 is great. Get a manual, and you're talking 28 mpgs.

#47 of 1033 Colorado- SUV? by padoc

Mar 21, 2003 (2:19 pm)

Anyone know if CHevy has plans to make an suv version of the colorado? Maybe to replace the blazer, which I hear is going out in 2005? Or any plans to make trailblazer more rugged? Really like the ZR2 Blazer, but don't know whether to buy or wait for something else

someone claiming to be a GM insider posted that there will be a Colorado based SUV. I have not seen anything published with a byline saying this.
 
It might be good idea, however. The Equinox, like the Escape, CRV, RAV4, etc. will be basically a tall car. That would leave the Freelander and the Liberty as the only real small truck SUV.
 
GM could possibly have a player in both the car and the truck small suv market.

If you hunt on the internet, there are plenty of pictures of the new colorado based SUV? Just look a little.
