Why would anyone want a truck that size in a diesel?
I would expect because of the potential for 35-38mpg truck that can actually tow something efficiently. Towing a trailer or most boats I wouldn't see why you would not see over 20mpg
I think there will be some growing pains for Chevy to go thru kind of like Dodge is having to go thru but there will be a market for this type of truck.

35-38 seems pretty high, though no numbers have been released(that I've seen), Chrevrolet is hoping for break the 30 mpg mark. I'd say real world will probably be around 20-23 city and 28-32 highway.
In regards to the towing capacity, diesels in light duty trucks/cars are intended for efficiency and longevity, not added capacity. So those expecting a 2500 in Colorado clothing will be dearly disappointed. This is not to be considered a heavy duty Colorado, it's intended to be a more efficient, higher mileage Colorado.
