A little over a year of its launch, the look of the next generation of Chevrolet S10 is ready. Car and Driver had access to various data and images on the GMT 355 project, as it is called the pickup by GM and its suppliers. Upon this information we designed the layout of the truck. For anyone who has seen the model - there are units running in testing at Cruz Alta, in Indaiatuba (SP) and many others outside the country - the projection is up to date, the most accurate picture of how the truck will be the next Chevrolet. "I would say that is good looking," says a source close to the manufacturer.
There are still some mysteries about the project. The main one is that the new pickup retires or not the current S10. But who does not bet, has a great chance of winning. Explanation: For GM, now is a successful product in the medium truck segment of entry, ie, those that cost around U.S. $ 70 000. Now with the new pickup, the brand intends to reach another customer, who now buys Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi L200 Triton, VW Amarok ... Another mystery is where it will be produced. Two plants compete for preference: Sao Jose dos Campos (SP) and Rosario, Argentina.
The new S10 has been developed in Brazil under the attentive care of Americans. Let me explain: the model will also be sold there. In the U.S., will replace the current Colorado. The base model comes from the Isuzu D-Max - hence the high number of busted the South Korean model running tests in Brazil. They are being used as a mule for the new model.
Beyond the Booth version simple and double cab, the truck will innovate to bring an optional "Super Cab", ie cabin fully extended. "It is a requirement for the type of client we want to achieve."
No visual highlight to the huge front grille and the bumper with a stylized chrome strip cutting the piece in half. The lighthouse will almost rectangular shape. To combat new rivals, wait for options with automatic transmission and engine flex. (Luke Litvay).
