The Detroit automaker is keeping mum about whether or not the Colorado will come to the States.

Looks good. For NA it needs a real back seat and more importantly a modern powertrain, like a 3.6L DI V6 + 6spd tranny.

Not really
For fleet sales a 4 would fine
Should show one with a cap on it

yes but for fleet they can sell the current one with an archaic 4 spd for the next 20 years, and the same applies to Ranger.
Now if they want to target retail customers who need it for personal or business use but don't need the size or FE of the 'real' thing then the modern powertrain is key to reasonable mileage, decent acceleration and ability to tow a boat once in a while.
