New suv based off colorado platform ??

Something tells me we are going to see GM build a 3 row SUV based off the Colorado canyon platform. If this is true , I am so hoping for a duramax diesel option !!! That will make me happy even though I want a suburban duramax more. Hear rumors of this more and more.

    GM is already making an SUV based on the Colorado platform, they just don't sell it here. From what I have seen they don't plan on selling it in the US.

    The third row can be rear facing to aid in access and fold into the load floor like a rumble seat. It was very common in large station wagons.

    The trailblazer ext is a nice riding roomy suv. I think this will be a step above those. Kind of like a baby suburban and Tahoe. Cant get a v6 in those or a diesel so would attract a new crowd.

    We have a Buick Rainier that is based on the 360 chassis(Trailblazer). Nice solid rig. Turns on a dime and gives you a nickle in change. DW loves it, and it's 5.3 V8 and AWD loves gas!

    IF...I had a third row in my H3 Hummer (Colorado platform) only a monkey could climb into the rear seats. :) :)

    Google it. Apparently it's more than a rumor. I can't make a link on the tablet I'm using.

    That would be a cool looking SUV. Is it more than rumors?
