| Thats what I'm hearing, AUG/SEP don't expect any, 0% or 3k cash back until at least spring 04!! | |
| The Chevrolet Colorado goes in to production on October 8th in Shreveport. Typically it takes 2-2.5 months to hit dealership lots. | |

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! |

| 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. |

| Expect 2004's in showrooms around end of SEPT. | |

a 265/75-15" is essentially the same as a 31x10.50-15". so it's no big deal to replace them. they're probably the cheapest tires around. when you get up to 16" and 17" tires, you lose sidewall rubber and gain mega $ on price. older rangers used 265/75-15" tires. they're not that scarce. why they don't use ZR2 31" tires is beyond me. only the engineers know. |

Since GM decided to name their new mid-size pickup truck, Chevrolet Colorado, will it distracts some state of Colorado buyers because of the name? I think the Colorado isn't a good model name that GM created. Walter Chan |
