The one thing I just dont like about the new trucks is that giant center console in the dash.

I'm half tempted to buy the 3.6 V6 and throw a supercharger on it. I would still be able to do trans work on the 6L50. I hate waiting.:mad: It will make 450 hp.

It looks cheap, like Fisher Price designed it. Why cant GM put some quality materials in a vehicle that costs over 30k? All that silver painted plastic makes me want to :barf:

I just drove a 3.6 chevy ling bed crew. Im in love. Its size is awsome for coty and parking lots.

Man i want a diesel mini truck. Mike is right though the 3.6 is a monster of an engine 500 horse isnt too hard to do.

Reg cab long bed they short bed is way to short. Think we're doing them towards mid next year.

Sweet i looked on the website and the aren't offering a reg cab yet. Id really like to have a reg cab base model with the diesel and immediately turn it into a drag truck.

How long is a long bed on those trucks though? Can't be much longer than a short bed 3/4 ton.

Seen a maroon CC/SB Colorado on the route. Nice truck.

I think that the new Caddy ATS-V has a turbocharged 3.6, doesnt it? IIRC, it was somewhere around 450hp.

Yeah, the ats-v has a twin turbo 3.6 which should be between 400-450 hp. Same engine that's in the cts-v sport, which rips! Lol We've had 3 canyons come in so far. They remind a lot of a Toyota pickup.

Well, I can tell you that the 3.6 in my wife's "new" 2012 Traverse sure runs good. She drives that thing like I drive my truck on the big tune. :roflmao:
