I have no response to that..........oh wait......EEWWWWW! Toyota should let Ford keep making F150s. I don't like their version.

It looks like it needs a blue neon underbody kit and a giant wing on the back...

**paul8488** · 02-04-2004, 03:15 PM

a little too bubbly... kinda cartoonish... but the very front end looks tough... and again, stellar interior. why can't GM do an interior like that?!?

fjehlik · 02-04-2004, 03:45 PM

Anyone else notice the Colorado/Canyon angular flares to the front and rear fenders? Basteeerd copycats. The cartoon comment is well put: hood scoops don't belong on trucks unless they are attended by a host of reeeee-diculous neon disco balls attached to the floorboards and a driver full of near pre-pubescent acne. Oh and if you have the cajones to stuff a V-10 in the engine bay, then you are excused...

the tires look very small, and it reminds me a lot of the new dekoda.

Nice-looking truck, albeit a little overdone on the exterior. The interior is sweet... I hope it fails miserably for Toyota. :lol:

Is this still the same size as this year's truck?? It certainly has cues from the show truck at detroit this year.

Someone should inform Toyota that the usual process is to 1. release the concept 2. Gauge public reaction 3. Style production based on public reaction.
Not 1. Build production 2. make a concept based on it and pray the public likes it.

Looks like a nice Ford F-150.....Oh I mean Toyota

Mr_Pringle · 02-04-2004, 04:52 PM

i like the interior on the colorado, and almost all the new gm interiors. although they used a little to much fake wood on the new buick lacrosse.

SteveWallace · 02-04-2004, 07:39 PM

Thats got to be like a TRD body kit on it or something. I'm interested to see what the "clean" 4wd version looks like. I have always liked the current 4wd Tacoma. Kinda funny that after all this time everyone is redoing their midsizers. Ford, where are you?

LGRpup · 02-04-2004, 07:53 PM

It has Colorado/Trailblazer wheel openings, a Dodge Ram hood, Silverado tail lights, and way too much rice!

Mulerider71 · 02-04-2004, 10:10 PM

I think it is awesome. Imagine it without the body skirts and ground effects sittin up high in TRD 4x4 form...awesome!

Before you go and buy a import brand car because of the perception of quality, do a little research and you will find GM has as good or better quality than most of those other brands. It's not cool to hate America people!
