Anyways ... pricing. Look at the Tacoma & Frontier. The Colorado pretty much matches them on equivalent trucks, so its not like GM is breaking new ground price-wise in the segment.
If you don't want to pay 39 grand for a Colorado, don't tick so many option boxes. The thing starts at $21k. Yes, its a pretty basic truck at that price ... but if you want more, you have to pay more.

Yes the pricing is in line, the problem I have with it is (and I know this isn't a fair way to look at it) with the rebates that are always attached to full size trucks, you can get a pretty nicely equipped Silverado/F-150 for less than a Colorado. Local Chevy dealer is kncoking anywhere from 8-11K off the MSRP of Silverados, only taking 1500-2400 off of Colorados. Me personally I would have a hard time paying more money for a smaller less capable vehicle when I know that I could get a full size truck for less.
I know I am in the minority there. Maybe once rebates hit the midsize trucks a little more I would change my tune. I really like the Colorado and Canyon, like I said I would have hard time paying more for a smaller less capable truck.
