Good to see the small diesel option. I'll believe the numbers when we get some real world results. Until then meh !!

Some sources are saying the manual option is a non-starter but we can always ask.

The last paragraph summed up all my questions perfectly.

Right now, a Crew Cab 4x4 Colorado WT optioned how I'd like it has an MSRP of $35,215. I think that price tag leaves room for them to want an extra $2k (not that I'd want them to) for a diesel.

I just hope they don't pull a Cruze Diesel with this thing and make it available in the top trim only, and for a pretty penny more to boot.

at least the gc only is doing the one of the two... still, only being on top trims is annoying to say the least. actually have a customer opting for a top trim v6 rather than the diesel... price difference is about 350 bucks... not my choice, but he just doesn't want diesel.

anywho, these will be appealing for sure... actually offers the things people are asking for in a small pickup... manageable size... decent pricing... and fuel economy. hope it all works in when the real trucks arrive.

I like these mid size pickups, they are the right size, only big problem to keep them from the work site.... 44" between the wheel wells.  Thats just wrong, I'm sure they could've designed them to have 48".
Cheers

that's likely on purpose...they want regular people to buy these...they want "work truck guys" to buy the heavy profit margin full size models.
