I realize the market for a sports truck is small....probably smaller than the actual pony car market which right now isn't anything to brag about. But I have always like a nicely setup, good looking sport truck.

But along those lines, I still wonder how well a Colorado with the 6.2 V8 or a powerful turbo V6 would sell. I don't see why gm couldn't physically put that engine in the Colorado (and/or Canyon). We know they can. (they considered it in the 2nd gen and actually had some test trucks running around with the 6.2 and the 10 speed, but they never gave the project the green light). Don't just make the engine available in the ZR2. Make an SS version, or even better, just make it available in one of the other trims below ZR2. They'd probably sell just as many as they do Camaro's in total. The LT1 in a mid-size truck would be amazing.

But we all know it will never happen for multiple reasons.
