Unibody and fwd platform not for me.
If they had not come out with the diesel in the Canyon/ Colorado, I would not have went with one, and I would have also not went with a Toyota, Nissan, Honda or other brand, even if they did have a diesel (which btw the Nissan Titan has a 5.0 Cummins). I don't care for the looks of them. Or RAM for that matter. No, I would have went with my first love, a full size Duramax. We were originally looking at getting a 2006 to 2010 2500HD GMC or Chevy. Then we started looking at these more and we fell in love with the looks of the Canyon. It has a much bolder look, more full size truck looking, than the Colorado I think.I like the Colorado diesel but gotta say that the latest Ridgeline is better in just about every respect besides towing and torque (heck, it even has a higher rated bed weight capacity). If the Colorado did not have the diesel option than by no means would it stand much of a chance vs the Ridgeline! If it were not for the diesel option most of us here would not have bought the Colorado/Canyon, right?

The only thing I like about Hyundai/Kia is that they are made here in Georgia and the other is right across the line in Alabama. They seem like decent cars, just don't please my eyeJust saw this. AND it might have a diesel in it too. Anyone like Hyundai? I don't, I just thought it was interesting.

The Hyundai/Kia stuff is pretty awesome and reliable for the price and they've been talking for a few years now about a truck but I would hope for a little more substance than something that looks like a kegger courier. As-is the Colorado Z71 Crew Cab with the "long" bed barely fit my requirements for what I consider the basic duties of a truck;Just saw this. AND it might have a diesel in it too.

Cluck??The Hyundai/Kia stuff is pretty awesome and reliable for the price and they've been talking for a few years now about a truck but I would hope for a little more substance than something that looks like a kegger courier. As-is the Colorado Z71 Crew Cab with the "long" bed barely fit my requirements for what I consider the basic duties of a truck;
- haul an appliance, piece of furniture like a couch, substantially large dead critter, or my wrecked KLR 650 (I'd cry but the 3 cracked ribs, left fibula and ankle still hurt).
- allow me to camp and do things that rhyme with truck.
