yeah...not much changed, but (IMO) not changing the exterior much is the correct move. Now, if they had done more work on the inside that would have been just fine. Oh wells.

What is getting announced on sunday? Looks like the official GM facebook page is talking about something EV related.

KMPrenger · 02-10-2022, 11:48 AM

Sierra EV is my guess....but maybe Blazer EV.

It's the Superbowl ad.

Are you saying that they will debut before June 9 or shortly after that date?

Also, what do you think of the 2023 Canyon and Colorado only offering the the 2.7 liter L3B motor?

FenwickHockey65 · 02-10-2022, 03:13 PM

I don't know a specific date, but I'm guessing that since we now know they're winding down production of the 2nd gen trucks, the 3rd gens should be right around the corner.

I have my doubts it'll only offer the 2.7T. Maybe initially. Otherwise I think it'll be a great engine for the midsize trucks.

Interesting. GM Authority is reporting that it will be the only engine offered. You think GM will offer the current V6 at some point?

I doubt the V6 will be offered. I do expect that they might add a 2.0L diesel. It’s in the engine portfolio in other regions, so it’s available. If they can price for it, they may add it.

FenwickHockey65 · 02-11-2022, 11:05 AM

That's my thinking. Plus we've had people at another forum claim they observed engineers refueling 3rd gens with diesel. It's possible maybe those were testing for overseas markets though.

Understood. Thanks for your insight!

Yea. Blazer is competent, and it has a good interior. It just does nothing for me. The last non performance chevy to have an impact on me was the '14 Malibu refresh.......sad but true.

October 14th is the last day to order a 2nd gen Colorado/ Canyon.

That is pretty late if 23’s would be available late summer/fall right? Would they still be 2022s?
