I only paid $23.5k for my 2003 truck back in 2005. :) The Aurora was a $40K car new in 2003, if you can believe that. :eek:

I was told to look for the Colorado in 4th Q 2015....so as Henry said, figure it'll be a 2016 model. They're working out the last bugs in them right now. I hope my nephew brings one of them home on a "test drive". I'd like to check one out in person.

Since were listing off prices, my 95 K2500 6.5L diesel SUBURBAN had a window sticker of around $42K for a moderately equipped SLE(cloth seats, power windows, locks, mirrors, dual A/C, and a few other options). Don't know what the origanal purchaser paid as I was the 3rd owner of it. To bad I threw the sticker away when I did my swap, figured there was no more need to keep it since most everything on it was different than when it was new.

So GM didnt put a diesel in the 1/2 ton but they offer it in a mid size that looks like a half ton? :confused::confused::confused: The GMC looks great from the front, the chevy is pretty damn ugly. Whats with those sqaure buldging fenders?

I wonder how long of a box the crew cab will come with and how wide. If it's the same size as my Titan EC I may be interested in one. Looks pricey though. If it's 47g down there it will be close to 60 up here - only 10g cheaper than a 1 ton. Fuel mileage will dictate sales numbers I reckon.

The size of these new Colorados (between a Dakota and a regular large truck) is starting to make me think GM is going to go the Ford route with trucks.....a "regular size" 1/2 ton style and a physically larger 3/4 and 1 ton truck.

I'll ask if my nephew can bring one "home" the next time he's in town.
