#61 of 1033 GM Canada finally admits that the Colorado does exist by ghislain May 24, 2003 (9:50 am)
GM Canada has finally put something up on their WEB site about the Colorado, please Check URL. http://www.gmcanada.com/english/vehicles/chevytrucks/colorado/col- o_overview.html For a midsize it seems awfully small, especially the overall width at a disappointing 67.8 inches. I have travelled in Nissan Frontier Crew (71.6") and that is none too Wide. It also confirms their poor/lack of tire selection with a 265-75-15 for all the Z71 series (a real odd size). Hello GM. there is still time to wake up and smell the coffee.
#62 of 1033 Okay people... by ffmcobalt Jun 18, 2003 (3:11 pm)
Get realistic. This isn't a full size truck. This is a midsize. The full size trucks have the V8's with the Duramax available. There simply has to be distinction between the full size and the midsize. If the midsized truck came with the largest size gasoline engine available, why on earth would many people buy a full size truck? It's hugely more expensive for not much more truck. There needs to be very difinitive lines between the two classes.   The Colorado will come available with an I4 and an I5 engine. The Vortec 2800 I4 (2.8L) will provide ~175HP. The Vortec 3500 I5 (3.5L) will provide ~200HP.   The truck isn't meant to replace the full size trucks. It's meant to do just what it's going to: be a midsize truck. The I5 is supposed to be either stronger or outperform any V6 in it's class, too. Just wait until it is available for review from Edmunds, or test drive for yourself.

Thats what I'm hearing, AUG/SEP don't expect any, 0% or 3k cash back until at least spring 04!!
#65 of 1033 Launch dates... by ffmcobalt Jun 23, 2003 (2:23 pm)
The Chevrolet Colorado goes in to production on October 8th in Shreveport. Typically it takes 2-2.5 months to hit dealership lots.
#66 of 1033 Mid Size?????????? it is smaller than the S10!!!! by ghislain Jun 24, 2003 (6:57 pm)
Just been on the GM Web sites and decided to compare the Specs for the Colorado vs the S10. This sure was a downer; I was very excited about this MIDSIZE truck; but now I would really like someone with GM connections to explain where the MIDSIZE designation comes from    Here is what I found comparing the Crew Cab versions: Colorado Width 67.6 S10 is 67.9              height 67.9 S10 is 63.4              Headroom F/R 39.3/37.1 S10 39.6/38.2              Legroom F/R 42.2/34.4 S10 42.4/34.6              Shoulder F/R 57.1/57.1 S10 57.1/57.2 And here is the kicker  The Maximum Towing Capacity of the Colorado is 4000 lb.. vs 5200 lb. for the S10.   I sure feel like someone has rained on my parade and I sure hope that the MSRP will be in line with these specs.   GM engineers must be great at optical illusionism to make this truck appear a lot bigger than it really is. The only consolation is that the cargo box of the Colorado is approx. 5 inches longer.

Check out what I wote in post's 22 and 25. It's global platform sharing and bigger isn't better overseas (personal experience talking). That is why GMC markets the current Sonoma as a "midsize" now.   As for a Colorado/Canyon SUV, C&D had a spy photo of a Hummer H3 mule which is based on the GMT 355 (Colorado/Canyon) chassis. Expect a 30K pricetag though when it goes on sale!
#68 of 1033 Seating capacity by cp4h Jun 26, 2003 (11:15 am)
Does anybody know if the new truck can comfortable accomodate a family of four ? (not in a pinch)

Yes, there will be a crew cab option that should easily be able to seat a family of four, unless you're norwegian or something like my roommate.   My roommate is a mammoth. He's 6'7" and weighs 330. I'm not the skinniest kid on the block either, but he can pick me up with one arm.   ... he drives what we call Das Boot because that's the only thing he can fit in.
