First introduced in 2004, the new Canyon essentially has the same rugged styling as it did back then. The 2010 GMC Canyon offers three new exterior colors (Merlot Jewel Metallic, Gray Green Metallic, and Pure Silver Metallic) but is otherwise unchanged from the 2009 model. Most...

Other Choices:

The Chevrolet Colorado is very close to the Canyon in almost every aspect—except for unique grilles and subtle variations in badging and trim. The Ford Ranger reigns as the strongest competitor to the Canyon and Colorado; the Ranger is an aging design, but at the four-cylinder level it’s more enjoyable to drive than the GM twins and gets decent fuel economy. The Ranger also comes in a wide range of configurations—including strong V-6 versions, although it doesn’t compete with the new V-8. The Toyota Tacoma is a step larger, but it gives the Canyon a run for the money, as its base price is more than $1,000 lower, with strong, smooth performance from its standard four-cylinder engine and hearty, competitive hauling power from its optional V-6. The Tacoma also has especially solid resale value. The Nissan Frontier feels larger, though it comes with a base four-cylinder engine as well or an exceptionally torquey and smooth 3.5-liter V-6. The Dakota is another alternative, but in terms of size it’s just short of full-size trucks; it’s not as maneuverable and gets less-than-stellar fuel economy from its V-6 and V-8 engines.

    If you want to get a car, and you don't have a huge amount of cash lying around, then you are going to need auto loans. Just about anyone – unless you mean some rotten trust fund baby bogus rich kid that should be shot out of a cannon – gets auto loans for a used car or new car at some point, and getting auto loan financing on non-usurious terms might take a little negotiation, especially if you need a bad credit car loan. It isn't easy with the megabanks, especially since they don't know how to manage their real estate investments. So you have to be creative, and find other avenues to borrow money for >auto loans.
