Question

For '04, Chevy will drop all of the S10 models except for the 4WD crew cab.Don'tknow how long they will continue the line after that.Rimara

Consider the Colorado/Canyon a re-badged, clean-sheet re-design of theS-10.   My feeling is that it'll still be around, but with a differentname.  Had they not decided to go with "real" names, the trucks wouldhave carried the S-10/Sonoma names...

Jeff · Answer

I agree....... Incidentally, rumor has it that the S10 will make a comeback in 2006 as a front wheel drive only mini-SUV.... powered by an all aluminum, 32 valve 4 cylinder gas-electric hybrid engine and a

3 foot cargo bed......God help us all !!! ; - )

In article , Jimmy Neutron burped:Uhm, look at the specs. The 4.3L V6 made 260 ft-lbs of torque at1800rpm. The Canyon's I-5 doesn't even break the 200 ft-lb mark at1800rpm, and tops out at around 225 ft-lbs at around 3,000 rpm. Who gives a shit how much *horsepower* a truck engine has?! I mean,the whole point of a truck is to *haul* stuff. If it doesn't haveenough grunt (torque) to get started, what's the point?!But then, I guess the point is that the Canyon isn't a truck, it's an"xtreme sports accessory", thus why it has an I5 engine that would bebetter suited to a sports car than a truck.

In article , John Alt burped:Err, the General has a perfectly good 4.2L straight 6, brand newdesign, overhead cams and all, powering the Chevy Trailblazer and itsGMC stable-mate. In fact, the I-4 and I-5 in the Colorado arebasically the 4.2L with one and two cylinders chopped off(respectively).So why did the General do it? The 4.2L was introduced with the ChevyTrailblazer, which was, what, two years ago? The 4.3L V-6 was derived fromthe old Chevy 350 smallblock, and had nothing in common with the 4.2LI-6. As for the Ford 300 I-6 from the late 1970's, that was a Ford 240 I-6stroked (i.e., a mid 1960's design), rather than an all-new design. Infact, my father's van had a 300 block with 240 head and valve cover onit -- not exactly an "all-new design"!
