They (GM) gave that away to the Japanese by not having a kick ass engine for their mid-size trucks. A rough running in line large 4cyl, or a crude sounding 5cyl is a turn-off. Put the quality back into the product, not just fit and finish, but better material and plastics. But, I can always buy them used as their resale takes a hit.]

What about fuel economy ? If GM put a Turbo Diesel Engine that got 50 or 60 MPG in there Chevrolet Colorado, I would buy it right now.

I agree with Ray. A Turbo Diesel Colorado would make me get rid of my super dependable 4.3 S-10 and buy a Colorado in an instant.

if it were diesel game on so long as I could get a manual transmission!

There is a Diesel Truck coming soon to the GM Lineup!
We do not know where it is going, but instead of 35 to 40 MPG they should shoot for 60 MPG.
We understand that this will be coming to Chevrolet in the next Year.
