How can you lot claim there is no market for smaller trucks? There aren't any to choose from!

Everywhere else in the world small and tiny trucks are found in huge numbers, and all the manufacturers offer models. They claim that the onerous steps they would have to go through to get these minitrucks approved for the US isn't worth it until the market is there. It's a Catch-22.

You can't tell me that small businesses, mom&pop delivery services, handymen, etc wouldn't use these trucks. Especially in more crowded urban places. And personally I'd grab one of those little Korean/Japanese/whatever flat bed trucks with the foldup sides tomorrow.

I agree. Look at the success of the small Ford Transit Connect van. Those are all over the place, used by many businesses. Even in Texas.

Of course, these GM models are really not very small - they are larger than the compact trucks of the past.

I'm just glad GM has chosen to offer something other than a full size pickup. But, apparently very few others here have that same thought.
