    Fuck Government Motors- I'd rather drive a clapped out Toyota than a new GMC. Hell, I'd ride a moped before I bought a GMC.

    The leaf springs and brackets on the Colorado look like they're 4 inches from the ground.

    consider the resale/trade value of your 30K Tacoma after a few years of ownership, to any simular priced GM vehicle with simular age, mileage and condition.

    the older I get...the less I enjoy depreciating assets. Tacoma mitigates this about as well as any vehicle in the marketplace.

    YMMV

    what gmc does not tell you, you'll still be making car payment on a motor that blew up at 100k miles. i would not own a obama motors car.

    while not a fan of our current president...

    President Bush began the auto bail-outs.

    maybe they should change to BO Motors, because the whole thing stinks. :D

    longer warrenty and longer road side assistance....the only way they can compete with the legendary reliability of Toyota!

    I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself when they said the Canyon had sharper styling! HA!

    Canyon advantages

    "The independent torsion bar front suspension features coil springs"

    did anyone else catch that?

    One of the simple things that baffle me is why the heck they can make the tailgate latch lockable, stock. Every time a Tundra or Frontier goes by me and I see that little simple, inexpensive key hole, I think "why not on mine?!!?" I had to go out and buy a Pop-n-Lock. Or the other thing that baffles me is why the window switches and 4WD knob is not illuminated? Again, simple, inexpensive but they didn't do it. Oh and one more rant. This is for almost all vehicles though. What's with the only having the drivers window having auto-down on it? How about all of them having auto-down/auto-up switches available to the driver?? Is it that they cost 15 cents more apiece?
    I'm done for now. Thanks for listening.. ha ha

    Yeah, torsion bars AND coils? WTF for? Maybe it has torsion bars up front and coils out back.

    Looked on GMC's website. appears as though there are two different setups. The 2wd has coils, the 4wd has torsion bar. video lost a little credibility for me with that.

    Video seems very biased. Whenever a comment on styling is made (which is only opinion), it makes me see the whole video as opinion.

    LOL. I bring you the 2013 Chevy Colorado, Id like to call it the base model, but, the amount of plastichrome and all the buttons on the steering wheel make me wonder if this is an "SR5".

    (the front bumper of this Cruze doesn't clear that curb, Oh wait, Its a Colorado! :eek: :facepalm:)

    [​IMG]

    To me it looks like its like a Cruze Elcamino. Its sort of disappointing that a brand new truck, that isn't even on the market yet, still doesn't compete with a nearly 10 year old design (2005 Tacoma). Hopefully it has some redeeming quality like a small diesel, I would like to see this smaller truck segment pushed forward, and a fire lit under Toyota's ass to refine their trucks further, and offer some new (hopefully diesel) engines. What is the point when stuff like this is its competition?
