Srsly? I guess I don't know what a loaded Tacoma goes for, but I don't imagine GM is being non-competitive here. I can buy seven Suburbans for $35k, so the chances of me ever thinking about buying a new Colorado is zero. Maybe even negative. Like, I am affecting potential sales to other people.
Base price gets you Extended cab, 2wd, and the 4cyl BASE is 21k.
You put 4wd and it jumps to 28k because you can't get 4wd in the base form, you need to upgrade to the WT.
Seriously though, go look at the configurator on chevy's site.
THis is the reason I bout a 2012 F150 Platinum for less than I could get a Z71 Colorado for.
I built the "Ultimate" Colorado, and ended up at 48k. And that doesn't even get you leather...
For a midsized Truck.
4k more gets you the 207 F150 Raptor, with more bells and whistles, and better towing.
And another 10-15 gets you into a top of the line 1-ton dually diesel.
What's great about all this is that it's a bunch more things that I don't even need to think about buying!
I have an itch......
I've got a bullseye on Boulder CO right now, 2013 Audi TTRS with 11,500 on the clock, un-modified. It started life as a lease vehicle (until 2015) in PR, then shipped over, the current owner has had it since.
From the pictures, it looks fairly flawless.
I don't know if I'm in the "brave" mood to do a $40000 purchase "unseen", but I would be willing to take a weekend and go see it, then ship it back if it worked out.

That, or spend $6000 and supercharge my Si.
That's funny. There currently is a TT RS that's doing real well in One Lap of America and it's starting to raise eyebrows. Funny I've seen it referenced twice in the same week.
I think the front looks says Alfa Romeo and the sides and rear look more like something from General Motors.
