Chevrolet today revealed the Colorado Show Truck in advance of the Bangkok International Auto Show, where it is making its global public debut. The concept previews the next-generation Colorado midsize pickup truck, which will build on Chevrolet’s strong truck DNA and award-winning heritage. The Colorado goes on sale in Thailand later this year.

“Thailand is the world’s-largest market for midsize pickups, so this was the perfect location in which to unveil our new Colorado,” said Susan Docherty, vice president, GMIO Sales, Marketing and Aftersales. “Trucks have been part of Chevrolet’s core for nearly all of its 100-year history. The Colorado reinforces that heritage with expressive design, refinement and uncompromising capability.”

Porsche officially green lights "Cajun" production

Owning an Audi Q5 has been a dream. Great ride, handling, horsepower and overall build quality and at 22 MPG, it’s hard to complain about anything. As a fan of the Porsche Cayenne SUV but being out of my price range for a daily driver, the green light of the Porsche Cajun is good news to me. It will be a Q5 based crossover SUV or a smaller version of the popular Cayenne. Sadly you won’t be seeing it until late next year or early 2013. We don’t know what it will look like but it does not seem like it would take much to give it a Porsche look, perhaps the front and rear of the car giving it most of the appearance that it needs. The thumbnail you see here is a rendering from TopSpeed.com. Read on for the press release:

Edmunds once again does a great little video comparing 2 cars that should never really be compared. At the end of the day we all know the General Lee is still much cooler than the recently redesigned Charger but it’s still fun to see how 40 years later the differences are actually pretty minor in the performance area. Have a look:
