    First Chevrolet Colorado Commercials show up

    February 13, 2012 - Drew Dowdell - CheersandGears.com

    Earlier in January of this year, General Motors' North American President Mark Reuss tipped his hand a bit with regards to the upcoming Chevrolet Coloroado suggesting that it would be a "lifestyle sport truck" in the vein of the Honda Ridgeline but with all of the capability a buyer would expect of a Chevrolet truck. Though the Colorado won't be released in the US until around the 2013 time frame, it has already begun being marketed in Thailand where it is available with a drool worthy 2.8 liter V6 Duramax.

    Over the weekend, one of our readers, Ocnblu, sent us a tip about a few Chevy Colorado promotional videos that showed up on youtube.

    We have to say, that the Colorado is clearly the best actor in these commercials, so ignore the rest of the cheese.

    You might want to turn the volume down a bit on these.

    No need to turn the volume down on any of the 3 videos Oldsmoboi consolidated into this thread. The only one to use caution on did not get brought over to this consolidated thread, it was the real life footage of the press test drive in Thailand that had the audio problem. So turn it up!

    Pick up truck - the modern day interpretation of a horse. The embodiment of tool to get you anywhere, anytime, and carry any load without any fuss. A medium of providing perception of freedom and nonchalance. Love it or hate it, no sedanic mule or a pretentious SUV donkey can match its capabilities.

    All it needs is a little love and care from the owner and miles of any terrain are gobbled without a neigh.

      Discussion:Ultium Twins to hit the market soon from Honda / Acura

      By ccap41 · Posted

      After doing a bunch of research on this, it isn't so much Honda/Acura are limiting charging speeds as it is the battery pack total size directly correlates to the rate of charge they can accept. The Prologue and non-SS Blazer EV have 85kWh batteries at 288 total volts and the ZDX/Lyriq/Blazer EV SS all have the larger 102kWh battery at 345 total volts.  Because of the way the Ultium platforms have multiple pack sizes that can and are linked together to make larger or smaller packs, the total pack volts varies based on the application and why the Hummer/Silverado/Sierra EVs can charge at 800v when they're still on 400v architecture.  Because kW = amps * volts, the bigger packs have more nominal volts because they have more cells.  Below is a Prologue example and change the 288v for the Prologue to 345v for the larger packs of the Lyriq, ZDX, or Blazer EV SS and you get 190kW for the maximum (or do the math for the other chargers, as well)

      Intake Manifold

      By crvette_guy · Posted

      I was thinking, and theoretically, could it be possible to put the aces Mid-Rise, Single Plane, Carb Style, Cast, 4150 Style LS Intake Manifold on an '09 lacrosse super, and then throw on an aces kill shot fusion lite, and then use a T42 TCM for my tcm?

      The Super would have the Northstar V8 and while the engine was mostly sorted out by then they are higher maintenance and are a Premium Fuel recommended car, so you have to be willing to be spending $5+ per gallon.  The 3900 V6 isn’t as exciting but it’s dependable and reasonably fuel efficient for such a large car
