re: Chevrolet reveals 2015 Colorado pickup truck

Been driving a 2009 since new. If I were going to get the new one I'd be hoping for a 6' bed option on the crew cab and better gas mileage.
I have the L5 engine and get 17mpg on a pure city tank and 20 on a half and half tank. Best tank ever was 24.5. Can't even touch a Tacoma in that aspect.
If they don't get the gas mileage significantly better than an eco-boost or eco-tech I see the Colorado staying as a auto part store fleet truck as it is now. Why drive a small truck when the half-ton trucks have more power and similar efficiency, diesel could make it interesting.

I'd order the 2.8 diesel 4x4 tomorrow if I could. Thats a fantastic sounding truck.

24 mpg is hard to beat now in any mid sized truck with the larger engine. Those V6 Tacomas and Frontiers are not very efficient.
To the consumer, how can you justify 19-20 mpg in a mid sized truck when a full sized model can achieve 18-19?
