Chevrolet Colorado concept
|
lol looks like a rebadged ranger (the global one ford won't sell here)
|
I like the outside. Not sure about the "Star Trek" interior...
|
Do we know if will be for sale here in the States?

From Motor Trend:
As for whether the truck will replace the existing U.S.-market Colorado/Canyon, GM continues to remain silent. However, a GM official we spoke with said that the automaker has no plans to abandon the midsize truck market and that a new version of the truck is on the way. We're betting it will come out looking much like the show truck, with different engine options and a steering wheel on left side, of course. Whatever it ends up being, it will surely built somewhere in the NAFTA area to avoid the so-called "Chicken Tax" that makes importing trucks from countries like Thailand unprofitable. GM says details for the production model will come later in the year, so stay tuned. |
i actually think the interior is better than the exterior. i dont dislike it, but its kinda... strange
|
I think it kinda looks like a Honda Ridgeline ..... which equals a FAIL
|
I dig it. Love that interior. I really dig those turquoise dash lights.
|
Love the pics of a concept 4wd truck........ on a road course :rofl2:
|
I HATE that stupid Ridgeline/Avalanche side/rear trim

Right - and its right hand drive. How come we don't get any of the cool midsize 4x's with truck beds?? :what:
|
Not too bad, if a bit fussy over all. The interior, especially, seems to look more like an oversized boom box of about 10 years ago rather than conveying a hightech interior for the next ten years. Look to the Ford Fiesta and Focus for how that's done right, down to the details and subtleties that GM seems to have missed.

it is butt ugly!!!!!

Information I've seen around says this is definitely planned for the US but GM is having pricing trouble. The usual course would be for this to cost at least alittle more than the current Colorado, but the overlap with the Silverado (which takes a large share of blame for poor sales of the current truck) would be even greater. GM might be taking a bit of a profit hit on this vehicle in the US.

That said, IMO this is another one of those segments that makes a very strong case for the notion that not everything should go global. In other parts of the world mid size trucks like this Ranger are their market equivalent to the FSeries.....it's the volume segment and as such they want a refined, well optioned truck more often than not. That means pricing is arguably secondary to giving people what they want. Here in the U.S. the full size trucks dominate the sale race and, as such, people want to pay less for a Ranger or Colorado they perceive as less truck. But high feature content, cutting edge design, and lower volume means these things cost virtually as much to offer on our shores as a comparable full size. That in turn creates obvious problems with taking this segment 'global' Zoran often gets criticized for being the messenger on this issue, but in many ways he is right on the money. In some segments what different markets want is so disparate as to not make a global offering practical. This segment may well be a good example of exactly that. |
I've been looking at it more and more, and while the body is growing on me, those tailights... :puke:
|
I agree, tailights are too big for a small truck.
I think that's the case with a lot of trucks sold mostly in Asia and Australia (including Ford Ranger, his tailights are huge too). |

Hmmm, you would have thought that GM would have learned their lesson here.
