Flat out crazy.

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!

A li'l bit.

Here's a quick overview of the Duramax diesel engine in the new Colorado pickup. It needs to come to America, land that I love, with the rest of this interesting new truck in a year or so: <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VffCmh8_qUg?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

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.

Here's a commercial for the Thai version of the Isuzu D-Max... a rebadged Colorado. See... they're not gonna be sold as Chevys exclusively. <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EUd5PAb-7qc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Did you guys read where internet hits increased for FORD trucks higher and longer than for Chevy trucks after the ad?

:hypnotism smiley:

Its tires have been very, very bad. They need kicked.

Remember, when you're "green", it's not the car, it's the IDEAR of the car.

eewwwwwwww.....

I am hoping by some mackerel that Cadillac goes no smaller than a shortened Alpha. Although that neu small Benz hatch in the spy vid is somewhat palatable...

I like that camel interior, but I prefer the aqua or brown exterior... neither of which are available with the camel. Built one at Datsun's site.

Did they have one with the top up, or only the one you guys jumped into?

Ah yes, a two-door Soul with AWD and a turbocharged 250 hp engine. What's not to like? It's a pretty appealing concept, imo.

Pleased to hear no mention of Delta or Gamma in the article.

Looks like Heeps of fun and a nice view from the top there, Jeeagle.

Soooo... back on the Murano. Is it cool in person? I've not seen one in the wild as of yet.

These articles come out from time to time to put a chill on America's red hot love for trucks, SUVs and horsepower in general. They are a conspiracy, I tell you!

That is why a Prius C would be perfect for you at some point in the future, if you aspire to go new. You like quirky cars with personality, the C looks like a fun pup compared to its deathly beige older brother. The base model comes with wheel covers you can take off and ride with black steelies. And it has a particular disdain for gasoline, you know, that evil fluid that built America, land that I love.

It's OK though, even at $5/gallon, he could afford to drive that "sick" GT500 he tried out at the D.C. Auto Show. I did think it was a cool thing to do when he only visited displays of the Big 3 and snubbed foreign brands... haha they were pissed.

Boy, the red tide rises in this thread, haha. Feels good to be right though, even if it took a while to finally sputter and die a well-deserved death. *choke*choke*gasp* Internal combustion FTW, BTW.

I was never a fan of that color, too blah for me. But the car is a nice one.

Such a surprise to see one of these in such beautiful shape. A wagon train of cheers for a sweet Mopie.
