OVERVIEW
Holden wants you to know that this isn’t a ute, it’s a truck - at least that’s how their marketing department would like it represented. It is, one assumes, a branding message to conjure up images of ruggedness and longevity.
At the same time the new Colorado is also quieter, smoother and calmer on-road than before… that doesn’t sound very truck-like, does it?
Truth is, this Colorado is designed and engineered to succeed. Yes, comfort and handling are improved, no ruggedness and off-roadability haven’t been diminished.
