Industry observers say the chance of the new Colorado making it to USA is slim. It's easier for GM to lower the price for a stripped Silverado 1500. Maybe some day the import duty for new trucks entering USA (25% today) will be lowered so imports of trucks from Thailand will be economically feasible.

Maybe some day the import duty for new trucks entering USA (25% today) will be lowered so imports of trucks from Thailand will be economically feasible.

Or the US manufacturers (previously known as Big 3) will return to the time of making a smaller truck that was priced at 75% of a full size instead of the current pricing model.

Industry observers say the chance of the new Colorado making it to USA is slim.

In one of the major 4 Wheel Drive magazines today, I saw a news tidbit that said GM is planning to introduce the new Colorado in the U.S. (I hope they do, especially if it comes with the turbo-diesel). In another magazine, they said the Colorado's future in the U.S. was uncertain. Let's home the first one was correct!

A St Louis newspaper is reporting that GM and the UAW have held talks about adding a second shift to the Wentzville, Missouri plant. The task for the second shift is to build a new midsize pickup! Nothing is finalized at this point, but maybe we'll see the next generation Colorado in USA after all.

Now GM has confirmed that the new Colorado pickup will be built in St Louis and offered for sale in the 2013 model year.

That's excellent news! I can seriously see the crew cab paired with a diesel and a flippac as my Trailblazer replacement. Daddy like!

Hopefully we will see a diesel version here in the States.

Don't really care for the front end but give me a baby duramax and I'll get over it. This with a flatbed/xpcamper set up would be awesome. ...Oh and hi from a lurker who never post.
