Chevy Gives Us An Idea Of The Size Of The New Colorado Ahead Of LA Reveal
Having already launched the all new fullsize 2014 Silverado & GMC Sierra pickups and 2015 Heavy Duty versions of those trucks this year, General Motors is turning its attention to midsize trucks as it gets ready to reveal the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon later this month at the Los Angeles Auto Show. GM has already teased photos of parts of those trucks’ front ends and now they’ve released another image, this time of a draped Colorado sitting next to the new Silverado.
While the new truck is covered up, the photo does give us an idea of its scale, which appears to be significantly larger than the previous Colorado. Production will begin next year at GM’s Wentzville, Missouri assembly plant. Chevy says that it “is engineered to be the most capable, most versatile and technologically advanced midsized truck in the market.”. You can watch the reveal live from the LA show on November 20 here.

Here's the Izuzu version of the Colorado. Different body treatment, engine and drive train. Looks much nicer. http://www.themotorreport.com.au/54424/2013-isuzu-d-max-ls-u-and-sx-crew-cab-and-space-cab-ute-launch-review
So Ford does not want to bring the new Ranger to the US because it's not much smaller than a full size and GM is doing it anyway... There is still a big difference in engineering between a full size and a mid size and, that does not mean a difference in performance. It means a big advantage in fuel savings with comparable performance and reliability. I suspect GM is betting on the eventual death of the full size, or at least, a majority move to "mid" size. I also think they are on the money, this time.
