Chevrolet confirmed Monday that it will build its next-generation Colorado pickup in the United States after unveiling the all-new version last week in Thailand.
The iconic American brand also said it will build its most powerful Camaro convertible as it tries to up the ante in its pony car rivalry with the Ford Mustang.
The news comes as Chevy's Nov. 3 centennial anniversary approaches. To celebrate, General Motors Co. has invited journalists from around the world to Detroit this week to preview its Chevy lineup.
The all-new Colorado will be Chevy's first globally sold pickup.
While compact pickups like the Colorado are popular overseas, they have yet to gain a strong following in the United States, where buyers tend to favor full-size trucks.
Last year, automakers sold 249,136 compact pickups, which accounted for 4.3 percent of total U.S. light vehicle sales, according to AutoData Corp. By comparison, full-size pickups, like the Chevrolet Silverado, made up 23.1 percent of the U.S. market.

We've learned that the Volt, which Chevrolet has been making quite a fuss about calling an "extended range electric vehicle," is actually just a traditional hybrid with some... potentially misleading marketing behind it. Since the concept stage the company has been saying how the onboard internal combustion engine was just to charge the batteries, that only the electric motors (there are two)...
Imagine a world where electricity didn’t power your Television, your iPod or your computer. And then imagine a world where you had a single cylinder combustion engine powering your cellphone and your dentist used a gasoline-powered drill to drill that cavity.

While base models come with a meek 195-horsepower 4.3-liter V6 engine, other versions offer a choice of three V8s that range in power from 302 to 403 horses and come with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic. Either brand boasts a maximum 10700-pound |

Drivetrain: A 4.3-litre V-6 engine leads the Silverado lineup as the base offering in all those designated as "Work Trucks." Three V-8s in 4.8-, 5.3-and 6.2-litre displacements become standard as cab sizes increase; the Silverado Hybrid is also E85 |

Chevy also said Monday it would build its most powerful convertible ever — the 2013 Camaro ZL1 — with a 6.2-liter engine delivering 580 horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque. That's more power than the Aston Martin DB9 Volante and the Porsche 911 |

The basic workhorse engine is a 195-horsepower, 4.3-liter V-6, meant mostly for fleets and very tight budgets. There's a small-block, flex-fuel, 302-hp 4.8-liter V-8 on some low-mid trims, but it's worth moving up a notch to the flex-fuel 5.3-liter V-8 |
