The Best Looking Chevy You’ll Never See

Posted by on August 26, 2011 1 comment

This one is old news, but the imagery is worthy of passing along.  Behold the Chevy Colorado Rally concept.  Looks shockingly similar to the VW Amarok, but with more testosterone.  I would be seriously surprised if this truck sees US production in any form, but I would love to be proven wrong on that one.  More truck in the segment to compete with the Frontier and Tacoma could only be a good thing.

With any luck, success by GM in this arena would push Ford to produce/confirm the much rumored F100 (don’t call it a Ranger), pushing aside the SportTrac in favor of a more traditional pickup configuration.  Then they could throw it at the SVT group for a Raptor version…  Okay, now I’m just getting carried away.

NASCAR Stereotypes (exist for a reason)

It pains me to pass this along, due to the unavoidable reinforcement of many NASCAR stereotypes, but it’s just too good not to post…

Jeep Scrambler Returns. Again. Sort of.

Looks like Chrysler finally got the hint that Jeep fans want a pickup version back in the lineup. This is not news to anyone that counts themselves an off-road enthusiast, and rumors of such a vehicle have been an endless subject of modern Jeep folklore. However, the pentastar powers that be have never quite bought into the notion that the demand is high enough to warrant bringing a ‘CJ8′ back to the marketplace.

In the meantime, companies like AEV and other custom builders have taken it upon themselves to serve the market for these vehicles, at a rather premium (but not unjustified price).

According to this report from pickuptrucks.com, Chrysler is now ready to meet the public half way and take some of that money back for themselves. The $5499 kit (before labor) that Chrysler is offering appears to be no where near the functional level of an AEV conversion, but it get’s the job done if you’re just after the Scrambler appearance and some pickup functionality.

I have to admit, the kit looks great and (given the inflated price of Jeep vehicles in the first place) I’m kind of surprised the kit is only $5499.  Of course, for the price of a moderately equipped JK, plus the kit and labor, you could buy a Ford Raptor.  Hmmm…

This one pretty much speaks for itself.
