Replying to: rsholland (Jun 14, 2007 4:10 pm) Makes sense since the H3 will get a V8 IIRC. -mike

Replying to: donn2390 (Jun 09, 2007 8:06 am) I saw it on autob--g a couple weeks ago. Left out a couple letters because of the Edmunds rules. Let me know if you can't figure it out. Replies to this message: jfritsch (Jun 18, 2007 5:05 pm)

I found the site, and I found the full size Chevy's, but can't find Colorado. The site is new to me, I couldn't find an esy way to look other than go page by page... I'll keep trying to figure it out. Thanks for the tip.... Replies to this message: poncho167 (Jun 24, 2007 8:31 am)

Replying to: poncho167 (Jun 16, 2007 10:37 am) I still don't know how they would shoehorn a V8 into a Colorado when the 5 cylinder is the big one now. Any redesign enough to put a V8 in this machine would put you quickly into Silverado territory which would seem counterproductive. Given the Tacoma and Frontier are bigger and a V8 is probably impractical for them are you sure the rumors arent for a V6 (wowsers) for the Colorado? --jjf
#699 of 751 Shoehorn...... by donn2390 Jun 18, 2007 (6:43 pm)
The rumors I heard were for the 5.3 V8. The Hummer has that engine and Hummer uses the same frame the Colorado does, so it can't be to tought to make it fit with the Colorado body. I really don't need anymore than the I-5 provides, but would be interested in looking at the V-8, were it to be ooffered, before making a decision. It the price were right, and the mileage were tempting, I might go for an "8".. ! Replies to this message: jfritsch (Jun 19, 2007 4:08 am) moparbad (Jun 19, 2007 2:54 pm) kcram (Jun 19, 2007 5:01 pm)

Replying to: donn2390 (Jun 18, 2007 6:43 pm) I'm speaking totally from ignorance of anything you might have read but are you sure the Hummer H3 isn't based on Surburban or Chevy Silverado frame? I find it hard to believe a 6000 lb Hummer is based on the smallest of the Mid-size Colorado frame. I don't think the Dakota frame (largest mid size) could do it. --jjf The rumors I heard were for the 5.3 V8.

Replying to: jfritsch (Jun 19, 2007 4:08 am) I'm speaking totally from ignorance of anything It is correct that the H3 is derived from the Canyon/Colorado. It is correct that the Colorado will offer a V8 since the engineering is already completed for the H3. Replies to this message: kcram (Jun 19, 2007 5:01 pm)

If you still haven't found the particular article on the V8 Colorado, just go back to it and in the top right hand corner search type-Colorado V8, and it will bring a couple things up.
