Ok, why does the U.S. get the uglyazzed Colorado/Canyon front end and Equador (of all places) gets that sweet looking front end?! And rounded wheel arches too! That truck should be the Colorado/Canyon here!!!

Because GM isn't using it's powerful global resources. Sad isn't it?

Because GM didn't want the Colorado to look like a Tacoma.

Re: 2006 Chevy LUV....

Actually, I prefer the Colorado... it looks alot more aggressive and squared off... the way a truck SHOULD be. Plus, it's got the look that can be tuned for 4 wheelin, draggin, or show.

I don't necessarily think it looks bad, but I think it's much closer to the Tacoma and I like the distinctive style of the Colorado. If they can get the diesels certified for the next few years, by all means bring them here.

Like the old Chevy LUV trucks, that's a sweet name. It sounds like the player's perfect truck, the "LUV" truck lol.

I've thought about that too... maybe they should turn LUV into a trim level... the Silverado LUV and Suburban LUV... all "pimped" out... or not...
