Now that's funny. Anyone else notice the similarity in body design between the oversease D-Max and the new overseas Hilux?

And you have the similiarity in body design between the Colorado and the Tacoma.

Both of the darn things look ugly as heck. Can't Toyota design anything original?

they also did the same thing w/ the chevy trailblazer. they have an isuzu version now called the ascender. im not sure which one came out first but both of them are crap. the isuzu version is actually more money for some reason.

Isuzu has a longer warranty.

the 4.2l straight sixes in the trailblazers are nice... i wouldn't take any other part from it tho..

I hate to say this, I really do.

The Trailblazers have been really good so far. It suprised everybody I know, but there have been no serious problems with them. Lots of recalls, but no real problems.

I expexted them to be complete crap, especially with the trim stuff, but nothing has come up.

I still don't want one, unless it's a 6.0l SS.

Aren't the Colorado and New Taco both built off of the same platform?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Taco's are much bigger than the GM's. The wheel wells just look similar.

Why do you insist on living soo close to the edge? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> There are some devoted people here who might just take that the wrong way...

Actually there was some long standing debate before we knew for sure that the Taco might be based on the Colorado chassis, because of some incredible uncanny resemblence to the Colorado and the fact that Toyota and GM have a relationship. Turns out the body designers may have been smoking the same crack, but that's about it.
