Evan Wrote:lots of conflicting rumors, some say it will be a kodo theme like that render, some say it will be more of a throwback to the original and be more oval-y and cutesy.
im hoping it keeps the kodo, but either way the car will be smaller than the current car which means no go for me

The XJ, for all its old-car quirks, is an awesomely usable daily that's been pretty handy on more than one occasion, so the thought of a small, 4 door, short(er) bed DD-able pickup that gets close to or above 30mpg highway is pretty tantalizing.

Apparently the moldy-oldy Frontier could be receiving diesel power in its coming update if this "technical study" is anything to go by (checking back for updates):

Cool. Just bring the rest of it into this decade :thumbup:



And the Colorado, though to me it needs more small



Plus the Tacoma which should be getting an update soon. If these are smartly priced and properly sized, I think they'd sell like hotcakes and be pretty much perfect DDs.

I was dissapointed yet not surprised that GM fucked up the pricing. Apparently, midsize doesnt mean cheaper anymore, just smaller. Perhaps they see what happens in the used car market where the tacomas and frontiers hold their value better than full size trucks, and figured there is demand for smaller truck, same price.

I put together a midrange model with a few but not all options, and it came out $33k. In real life Id probably buy a Z71 because less chrome, and thats $34.5k not even with a diesel. Next year when the oil burner is out, thats got to be at least $36k. So much for that idea.
