They say the ride is more like a SUV.

Waiting anxiously to see/drive the U.S. version.....

I don't agree with it's looks at all...but what can you do. I do, however, wish they would just bring the S10 back, I love the S10.

That truck is ugly .

drummer5679 · 01-06-2012, 05:01 AM

looks awful. like pontiac aztek levels of awful.

bigted83 · 01-06-2012, 05:19 AM

Looks Toyotaish

fielderLS3 · 01-06-2012, 05:40 AM

That picture is terrible. Looks like a 90s Toyota mated with a 2003 Silverado. And the design looks as aged as the Ford Ranger. I hope that isn't the actual truck.

That would be an old S10 chassis zombified as usual in South America (the 70s CKs were still available in the 90s). I highly doubt this will make it state-side since it's almost the size of a Silverado and costs nearly identical. Same reason they killed the Ranger and Dakota; Next Gen Ranger is the size of a base F-150 and the Dakota/Ranger sales were nearly nil when compared to how well a 2wd base full size truck sells.

This thing is pretty big for a 'small truck' and better tailored to markets like SE Asia and South America where you don't really need a 3500HD and just an S-10/Ranger sized vehicle.

Now if GM could buck the big truck trend and actually market this vehicle as a fuel efficient and versatile alternative to a full size pickup (which would leave the 2500HD and up for full size territory) in the fleet world.. then maybe we'll see it. Especially with the baby diesels.

This will be a vastly better truck than the S-10.

No. I too would love to see that option stateside. Torque and MPG's...YES!

I am too, it would be perfect for me if it looked more like a truck, rather than an equinox with a bed. That's why I still drive a 97.

I like the foreign new Ford Ranger better.
