I picked up a 2005 Colorado brocure at a dealership last week. Pictured on pages 18,19 is a Victory Red Xtreme with the 18" wheels. Of the Colorado family, this is the best combo for looks. It really looks like an SS Silverado.
Although I think the Colorado is a cross between a Studebaker and an early Datsun, this model isn't bad. Too bad it doesn't come in 4X4.
As for the 4X4 Z-85............my wife (57 years old) says....that looks like a wimps truck and the Z-71 4X4 looks like Hummer wheels on so-so design.
Maybe in a few years they will get it right. After all I drove a 2.8 V-6 for three models until someone at Chevrolet woke-up!
