2015 Chevy Colorado
 
Just the other day I was listing small/midsize trucks on my fingers and there weren't many... I thought that Chevy didn't even make the Colorado anymore. Well, the images of the next Colorado were just leaked...

Is it just me... or did Chevy just slap the front of a Grand Cherokee onto a Tacoma?

It's close, but different enough to tell them apart.

I think it's a pretty good looking truck, really.

If they'd ever put a smaller (2.5-3.5L) turbo diesel in one of the smaller pickups they sell here in the US, i'd consider it, sadly there is no demand for such a thing.

Confirmed 2016 Colorado will have the 2.8l duramax... Just saw it on facebook. I'm not a Chevy guy at all but the new design caught my attention enough to read the article, I might look into one when I pay the frs off.

nice they said before they were talking about it. I like it because it should be fairly efficient and still be able to tow my boat.

If only they could keep it under 30k...

The article mentioned something about it starting out under 20k but there is no telling what a z71 duramax model would run up too. Looks to be a nice little truck though, the overseas 2.8 is 200 hp and mid 300's torque.

Can't believe the current taco's (and frontiers and I guess Ridgeline and dafuq is a Suzuki Equator) are still considered "compact"

Very firmly mid-size in my opinion...

Even the last Colorado looked like a cheaper version of the 2nd gen Tacoma. Same fender flares and even the same angle too.

it's a quarter ton truck and every award it wins (best in class, etc) has been under the compact category
