After seeing close to 15 new Colorados, I finally saw my first new Canyon.

Kinja'd!!!

I can't decided on how I feel about the extended cab configuration yet. This is the first one I've seen on the road in this configuration and I'm a bit meh about it. Maybe it's the silver. I do like the front end though, fits the truck well.

I think I like the Colorado a bit more though. Especially in crew cab, short bed, Z71 form.

Me too, but I think the color is killing this trucks soul

You can't get a single cab?

Sadly, the GMC's entire color pallet is rather soul sucking compared to the Chevy's.

No Blue or yellow. Whhhy!?

Why get anything else when there's brown? I fucking love brown.

Extended or crew only.

The blue thing infuriates me.

I want one of these in these in the next few years, how is there no blue. I've decided green is my second choice.

Currently my rankings are blue, green, red.

I may have to grab a Chevy and get a body color bow tie. The gold throws it off for me.

Except it's not actually brown in person. It's that same damn pewter color GM has been selling, and people have been buying, on GM trucks since as long as I can remember.

A Laser Blue Colorado crew cab Z71 with black bow ties is the best IMO.

Unless GMC releases the Blue and Yellow on the Canyon, which they could actually, seeing as they were late availability colors on the Colorado.

*Sigh* my uncle had that color. Ford has brown, I want a brown F-250.

I can't find a good picture of a brown 250, so have an Explorer:

Kinja'd!!!

It looks so much better in person. Hard to photograph I guess.

Winner. I'm torn on long or short bed. I'd have to see them in person/interact with them to decide on that.

I've seen that color in person on a Fusion (at least I think it was the same color) not bad actually. I'm usually against brown, but Ford's managed to make a good one. Same with that purplish black color they offer. Unf.

Visually, the short bed looks better, but the long bed has a full foot more of useable space. It really depends on if a 5 foot bed length is enough for you, or if you need 6. I think when (and if) my dad gets one he's getting a short bed.

I didn't think it came on things that weren't trucks or SUVs. Maybe.

My favorite Ford color is actually a Lincoln color:

Kinja'd!!!

Fuck yeah that thing is purple.

I watched Colorados get delivered to dealerships, and saw the first shipment of both of them on the highway (living where they're built FTW). Seen plenty of Colorado's, but this is the first time I've seen a Canyon actually moving under its own power with all four wheels on the ground though. No idea how it took this long, I drive past a GMC dealer every day.

Oh my bejesus, that nearly looks like BMW's Technoviolet reborn again.

I probably don't need the 6 foot. Honestly I don't necessarily NEED a truck at all. I just want to be able to tow with it a couple times of year and it's tow capacity crushes all the crossovers.

Oh and they look freaking awesome.

Sounds like you might as well save a few hundred bucks and get a short bed then.

I was trying to find something that wasn't a stock photo, but yeah, that's nice. That's like exactly how I'd get it too.

It is an absolutely terrible angle of the truck. And the fact that it was a hastily taken picture on my iPhone isn't doing it any favors either. It's much better in person.
