I think with the laws changing in 2008 for trucks and SUV's designed by the government will have a helluva impact on us. Imagine a Silverado SS getting 23 MPG This new Colorado SS will most likly have a smaller engine or maybe a 5.3 with DOD

 

The entire proposal is outlined in a lengthy government document, but the fuel economy targets appear to be:

 

2008

From 26.8 mpg for the smallest vehicles to 20.4 mpg for the largest

2009

From 27.4 mpg for the smallest vehicles to 21.0 mpg for the largest

2010

From 27.8 mpg for the smallest vehicles to 20.8 mpg for the largest

2011

From 28.4 mpg for the smallest vehicles to 21.3 mpg for the largest

Did I just open a can of worms :jester:

Old Old news guys...article is two years old and GM has yet to announce anything. With plans to replace the colorado by 2010 with a new model possibly or axe it all together, I doubt we will ever see it in production... Find a good tuner, custom builder to do the swap for you. Probably looking at 15-20k above the cost of the donor truck...just an FYI...
