Car Tech - 2015 GMC Canyon SLE

The 2015 GMC Canyon SLE review: www.cnet.com/pr...
GM's new Canyon offers more tech in a little less truck.

[@nathanng2629]

As long as it's Cooley I'll watch it

[@Narrowcros]

If Cooley reviews a ship I will watch it

[@gedaman]

Damn right! They should kick the other reviewers off the edge of the earth.

[@rnagic8652]

I really like the idea of having a diesel option in this size, but the design is hideous imo. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Nissan Frontier or the Dodge Dakota.

[@fantomtuba]

Just imageine. If they called it Chevy S10/ GMC Sonoma, they would sell twice as many.

[@Odin31b]

fantomtuba yup. Miss my gmc sonoma. So much fun.

[@jonhymarquez8166]

fantomtuba they call it S-10 in South America

[@ssflipallday]

"You can get your Canyon with a 2.5L I4 but...don't do that." hahah

[@1232bluejays]

I'll take a well engineered small Japanese car over these domestic monstrous pieces of garbage

[@ottodob]

ill tell you one thing, thats no compact truck. what happened to actually small trucks like the old toyota pickup and mitsubishi mighty max?

[@UndercoverPOP92]

You crash in that you die you crash in this you'll live

[@kma198199]

gargilbert ....that is a massive overgeneralization. Old compact trucks, that may have been true. Look at the crash test ratings these days of even sub compact cars, they are often 5 stars all around. I wouldn't expect any less out of a modern compact pickup..if they actually made one.

[@ottodob]

Random Videos its the v8 part that saves lives. not the agility or quickness needed in a collision avoiding situation right? it looks like i have twice the chances of being killed as you because my supercharged 4 banger is so slow. and that darned 51/49 weight distribution is just a disaster waiting to happen. fml. i need a silverado.

[@jimmypena2442]

Even compact cars have gotten bigger, it's called "innovation"...

[@newwavetheo]

The compact pickups basically got killed off. Nissan / Toyota wanted to supersize the Frontier and Tacoma to be more of a midsize truck. That left the Ford Ranger as the only "true" compact truck you could get new in the U.S, until 2011 when Ford rebelled against it too. Automakers want us to think that these midsize trucks are "compact trucks". I'm not buying it. Chevrolet actually currently makes a good little compact (albeit, a unibody truck and FWD drivetrain) called the "Chevrolet Montana". That isn't sold in the U.S. though, but I wish it was. Looking at the pics on Google, it looks to be like the "modern-day El-Camino", although somewhat narrower, and all engines are Inline-4's.

[@tubesurfer23]

Do people write your lines for you Cooley or are you just that good lol. Anyways great quick review, and i wanted to ask if you think this is any better than a Tacoma? If not at least buy being made it will force Toyota to update that old thing right?

[@emantabrizi]

There is an all-new Tacoma arriving for the 2016 model year.

[@jzatofl9546]

Cooley is the best of the best.

[@soiceyboy33]

Amazing $495 for Nav?? If that isn't the cheapest factory Nav optIon I've seen, I don't know what is

[@joelknox7753]

Really it’s $995... They list Nav and Bose Audio separate, but like Cooley said; one requires the other. Much like most other automakers do, except they just put it all in one package.

[@ronlovell84]

That's just a Nissan Frontier. GMC shares designs with Nissan. GMC got so lazy last year that they bought Nissan mini vans and slapped a Chevy logo on grill and rear door. They worked out that this method was cheaper than designing new Chevy mini vans from the ground up.

[@Mejevoli]

We, the third world market, enjoy the 2.8 Duramax diesel in our version of the colorado and trailblazer. It's torque-y and powerful. If you (U.S.) don't fall in love with this diesel drivetrain, I don't know what will.

[@thejesser501]

Brian.......Had trucks and cars together all my life....both accelerate/feel differently...Trucks, whether, 4 or 6 cyn engines, are not going to accelerate like a car which tends to feel zippier. I don' expect Trucks to be fast, because I need more TORQUE (Muscle) not horsepower (speed) to haul heavy things. Trucks may be bigger/heavier and are designed to have lots of needed torque....this is probably why you're not impressed with the acceleration of the truck! They have muscle (hauling power) but are slower than cars. You noticed! LOL :)

[@gmman010983]

They should have put the new 4.3 in this truck if it would fit.... I think it would work well here.

[@LoveStallion]

I really hope Ford will eventually bring the international T6 Ranger to the US. Great truck.

[@10mbc]

Please... no more 60 FPS video if it's not a video game.

[@roguedogx]

maybe ford will fire back with a new ranger... oh who am I kidding?

[@jmusquiz75]

I like it but I definitely would like to wait on the stats for the diesel model ,diesel all the way for me. It should run well in my Alaskan environment nice review

[@DinasGarage]

Wow the front end looks just like the Honda Ridgeline

[@kma198199]

....I can see the resemblance.

[@deecoop0351]

Right

[@sferris33]

Yep. But the Canyon gets 17/24. Whereas the Ridgeline only gets 15/21

[@JC-bl9bo]

413_Dina This truck looks nothing like that mess Ridgeline. It looks like a smaller version of the Sierra.

[@xXTHESUPERKINGXx]

"Enthusing" is not a verb nor a word.

[@jeffhorton8737]

love this truck

[@jeffhorton8737]

can't wait to trade my 04 f150 for it

[@HawkSea]

Those tailights...YUCK!!!

[@TomDeVito]

I love the new Canyon and Colorado GM you have done well.

[@user-ok6ef9zn4f]

How is OnStar still a thing?

[@pseudos1436]

Cooley!!!!hmmm
