2005 Colorado too "truckish"

It’s easy to write-off MSN.com’s Auto section as being a bit dry but they do write comprehensive and easy to read reviews of almost every model. But Ann Job’s recent take on the new Chevy Colorado is a bit odd. It seems the mid-size pickup is too “truckish.” The ride isn’t as smooth as others she says. But I think the guys I see in new Colorados at Home Depot don’t really care that the truck drives like a truck. Now Ann’s contention that the vehicle doesn’t compete on other fronts like cargo and cabin room, that’s a different story. Although I think more time should’ve been spent talking about the 5-cylinder engine. How do you sell that to American truck buyers? I guess five is better than four though.
