And I seriously don't see them designing a V6 exclusively for the 1500. It makes no sense to me when the 3.6 has become the V6 of choice in much of the GM lineup. All the R&D and production has already been sorted out.

 

thanks for clearing that up guys,it was a parts store promotion that came across my email as i was posting in this thread earlier,so just had to copy and paste,sure hope the next gen doesnt look anything like that.

 

Jesus H C%^ST that new looking colorado thing looks like a ******* back fired tundra. Who is GM letting do these designs, who is signing off on it. There is nothing even remotely good looking about that turd. GM= FAIL

 

I believe it was both designed in and intended for the overseas market. Last time I checked, it wasn't yet planned for US distribution.

 

I think that colorado is actually already being sold and on the market in Thailand and other southeastern countries.


There's a speed shop out here that has had a DI V8 head that was given to them by GM for additional R&D purposes. They've had it for about 6 months now. Not sure if that means much for them using the DI V8's in the truck series or just for the corvette's at first but DI is a most likely go.

 

The 3.6 is a piece of ****, they better come up with something better.

 

I was hoping the pitch of "unparalleled performance and fuel efficiency" was going to be a bit more.... unparalleled. A 20-30hp bump? For a completely new engine design? Is bupkiss these days.... Should have added 150 ponies and sceeeeeared the dick right out of the other camps. A stock truck that womps a modded 6.2L for instance would be nice

Wasnt the engine budget a bil and a half?

 

There is actually 2 shops that I know of that allegedly have these heads for testing.

 

That looks like a Holden from down under. Mostly with 4 cylinder turbo charged diesel. It has the bar grill but no bowtie. Maybe?

 

There is no way I would be caught driving anything that ugly.
