I agree the Colorado could really use an update inside and out. I've heard a few times that the 6-speed won't fit in a Hummer H3 and since the Colorado is on the same chassis I assume it won't fit in there either.
I've always thought the Trailblazer would be a much better vehicle with the 4.2L if it had a 6-speed to keep it in the proper powerband. I think they still look fine on the outside but the interior was old school when it first launched years ago. New interior (but not fancy or expensive), 6-speed auto, better handling suspension and keep the prices low. There is still a market for them just smaller than before. It looks like GM is going to kill it by never updating it which only hurts GM's reputation. Continued downward sales are likely but guaranteed to be much faster with no updates. Another example where GM is just spread too thin.
