Chevrolet Colorado Body Styling
It is believed that the Upcoming 2012 Cars Colorado will have a very similar body style to the 2012 and 2011 models, with the exception of being slightly larger and resembling the contours of some of the other newer vehicles in the Chevy lineup. Previous Colorado models have included options for cab size, manual or automatic transmissions, and power trains, but it is as of yet unknown if these will be available for the new model. One of the very few leaked photos available online shows an extended cab version, so the possibility is there.
Chevrolet Colorado Improvements
Some of the major improvements over the previous models are expected to be the engine, fuel economy, and basic platform; the new Colorado is expected to be a four-cylinder diesel engine with much better fuel economy than previous models, and the vehicle will be built upon the sturdier Isuzu D-Max platform.
