Other Choices:

Aside from the GMC Canyon with which it shares platforms and components, the 2008 Chevrolet Colorado's only real competitor is the Dodge Dakota, which comes with a wide variety of engines but is substantially larger, as are the Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma. The evergreen Ford Ranger can be ordered with four cylinders, and it gets good crash-test results, and usually it's an even better bargain than the Colorado due to its advancing age.

    You guys just love your rice burners don't you. Funny, I've never heard of a 3.9 liter in a Colorado. Get your facts straight.The proper literage is 3.7. How in the world is 242 Horsepower matched with 242 ft. lbs. dissapointing? I agree that it needs more acceleration when starting out, but practicality reigns supreme when you are selling a product to an everyday driver. Maybe my Colorod is a freak but it takes toyota 4 cylinders and chews them up. As for the "unrefined" idle of the Colorado, to spite its dual balancing shafts, I agree it idles rough. A refined idle is for a BMW and luxury is for the old. Give me a cammed V8 anyday.

    Colorodder-you missed one thing: the picture they have is not of a crew cab but of the base cab. For the record, I love my 2008 5 cylinder crew cab.
