    Heehee!! This is awesome!

    See? And they must feel there's a reason to have to bash Tacomas. Tacomas are the top seller and highest in reliability so they feel threatened, despite all the hype about recalls and such. This is their last ditch effort here. Funny isn't it? It's like they have to step up to the plate to defend themselves, while Toyota sits silent. This only makes them look worse, if not - desperate! Haha!!

    How is their I-5 any more proprietary than our V-6?

    Canyon has an oil life monitor, it monitors the actual oil and how clean/dirty it is. The Tacoma has a simple mileage counter...

    At one point in the video they appear to launch the Tacoma from a stop and it blows out a lot of white smoke..... wonder how they made that happen. I test drove canyons/Colorados when I was truck shopping last year. I drove some brand new Canyons and they didn't feel as good as the 06 Tacoma 5 lug that I bought! I just bought a 2012 Tacoma. I would have test driven some more trucks, but I just couldn't find anything that seemed to be comparable.

    And all this is coming from a guy that has a 2011 Tahoe LTZ in the garage. I absolutely love my Tahoe, but I wouldn't buy any of the smaller GM trucks.

    I wouldn't trade my 08 Tacoma for a new Canyon even if it cost me nothing. A friend of mine has a Canyon and I don't like it at all.

    GMC is getting desperate. On the end one can easily decide just by driving few year old Tacoma and few year old GMC. I drove few GM vehicles when we were looking for another vehicle for my wife and they were all garbage.
