hmm I thought the storm was a suzuki, maybe it was isuzu.
I (well, my wife) had a '91 Storm GSI.  Great car, reliable as hell.  Broke the rubber band at 110k, didn't smack the valves.  Gave it to the daughter at about 150k... I don't think she ever did anything other than ADD oil and it lasted to over 200k before she gave it up for scrap with a tranny ready to go.  Body was still straight and she probably could have gotten a couple of grand for it, but she was too lazy to sell it, we didn't have a place to park it, and we were selling her our 2000 Echo (this was in Dec '03) so there was no way to trade it in.

And the Colorado is much better lookin than a tacoma :)
Tough call.  They both remind me of the Avalanche  :)  :D
Unfortunately, it looks like the '07 3/4 ton Tundra (or FTX) will share similar styling.

What are these designers smoking?

I actually like the colorado better than the silverado (same basic grill but the headlights and parking lights are swapped) and we seriously considered a colorado instead of a 2500hd, but I'd never be happy with a little truck.

If they'd offer a V8 in it It probably would have been a tougher decision (rumor has it a LS2 Colorado SS is on the horrizon  :) ) but I'm still a fullsize truck guy.

My wife really wants the orange crew cab Z71 they use on the commercials :worthy:

Apparently I'm not the only one who likes it, I meet about 50 of them every night on the road, the things are selling like hotcakes, dealers around here cant keep the 4wd's in stock.  :D

its a 2 week old story... they probably purged it from the archives.

It basicly said toyota and GM are tied as the best vehicles on the road today with all the other brands trying to keep up.
