Wasn't the Colorado slightly underperforming in the engine segment? With a I-5?

What the heck is this? The 2014? Do they even sell this here?

I've seen that; it was my understanding that the USDM Colorado is getting a different, butched-up front fascia for the "make my truck look like a truck" crowd.

So chevy is pre-manufacturing brotrucks?

Well, that's a pre-requisite for every truck.
This is their teaser with a covered-up Colorado; I think the the amber lights below the headlights make it look slightly different than the one you posted.

Aww, sad. I was kind of hoping for them to move away from the amount of overcompensation chrome.

Here's a test mule that was spotted.

At least they aren't going with the international version, which looks like a Malibu-amino.

Not sure if this is enough given american standards, but ours has the 240 hp V6 and it never feels underpowered. Do keep in mind, however, that 100 hp, 1.8 4 cylinders are considered large engines in Brazil and 2.0 liters are considered sports car only.

Idk but if I get one I'm putting a 427 Stroker in it

If a 1.8L 4 cylinder is considered large, what exactly is considered small? Even a small block V8 would be considered massive for you guys?

Yup. And I'm not just assuming by default either. Back in the 70's, when Ford and Dodge sold their Mavericks and Darts in Brazil, they were considered massive full sized automobiles, and so were the 302 and 318 V8 engines. Heck, the Opala's 250 cc six cylinder was already considered enormous.
Nowadays, things have gotten even worse... 1.0 l engines are considered small, while 1.4 l is by far the most popular engine size, with 1.6 l following close behind for an even average of 1.5 l. If I remember correctly.

Hmmmm... That's a pretty interesting view point, 1.0L here in the US is considered tiny for a car.
