I think that the Colorado is way overpriced. It's a great truck, but not 50K+that's for sure

agree... while size shouldn't automatically equal price, this does not seem to be in the same level of luxury as the big trucks.

for the right price, i'd buy any vehicle built today, so not really fair just to ask if i would buy it... at the prices they sit at, no. i just don't see the point unless you are saving both upfront and at the pump significantly.

and you can probably get a deal on a Ram1500 ecodiesel for way less.

I test drove a 2016 Tacoma and GMC Canyon last week.  I liked the Canyon a lot more than the Tacoma.  What I didn't like about the Canyon was the higher price tag, compared to the Tacoma, and internet rumblings about poor reliability.
Instead of risking my luck on the Canyon I think I'll wait for the new Honda Ridgeline.  How's Honda's reliability record with new models?

Short answer. NO. Get a real truck with real power and the same fuel economy.
