    Chevrolet Colorado and Silverado To Be Exported to China

      Coming soon to China, the Chevrolet Colorado and Silverado. (Only in select markets).

    General Motors will begin importing the Colorado and Silverado pickups into China next year, but you'll only be able to buy them in select markets.

    Automotive News explains that many Chinese cities have bans on pickups for the fear of aggravating air pollution and causing more traffic issues. But earlier this year, the Chinese Government lifted the ban in four provinces - Henan, Hebei, Liaoning, and Yunnan - in an effort to jumpstart sales of domestic pickups. GM sees an opportunity with this and wants to explore it. But there is a major downside to this. Since GM will be importing the trucks, they'll be hit with 25 percent tariff by the Chinese Government.

    Chevrolet to Offer Iconic Silverado, Colorado Trucks for Chinese Consumers

    • Brand’s best-selling nameplate and its midsize sibling to go on sale in 2017

    GUANGZHOU – Chevrolet announced this evening at an event in Guangzhou that it will make available two classic American trucks – the Silverado and Colorado – in China through parallel import in 2017.

    The Silverado is the best-selling Chevrolet truck in the world. Since its launch in 1987, three generations have been introduced, with cumulative sales of more than 17 million units.

    Powered by an EcoTec3 6.2L V-8 engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Silverado delivers peak torque of 624 Nm. It is also equipped with a wide range of smart technologies such as Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Hill Start Assist (HSA), as well as power seats and a Bose® audio system. With its wheelbase of 3,645 mm and length of 5,843 mm, it can handle the toughest jobs expected of a pickup.

    The Colorado was the industry’s hottest-selling product in the U.S. market. It was named the 2015 and 2016 Motor Trend Truck of the Year.

    The midsize pickup offers a combination of refinement, maneuverability and efficiency. Powered by a 3.6L EcoTec V-6 engine, it delivers peak torque of 365 Nm and has a towing capability of 3.1 tons.

    Chevrolet has long been famous for offering the most durable trucks on the market, which embody the charm of freedom while providing an off-road capability.

    Pretty much the local makes already have black market imported, they have the design specs, and are already geared up for production of copy cats.

     

    Expect to see a Denali copycat dealer near you.

     

    Probably what will happen, is that even the manufacture and assembly of the pickup's will got to China.

     

    Yup, buy your big rig F-350 from China. Your Duramax Diesel from China. Your guts and glory RAM from China. Don't we all just love CHINA?

    Time to hit China back, 25% tariff on our stuff, 25% tariff on your Chinese made stuff.

    Equal fair fees on the product.

    A price war with China would have disastrous short term effects, but in the long-run, like a decade or more would probably make America more like it's former self where it was a manufacturing powerhouse.

     

    I live in Toronto, Ontario, and there's a bloody rustbelt in all the working class neighborhoods, you see the degradation with your own eyes, FOR LEASE signs everywhere. The wealth of the former America has allowed so much of the world to become developed.

     

    I digress no more, I think GM will ultimately fail in this endeavor, or if they succeed, then, well China will ultimately steal once more another place where the domestics are very strong.

    Chinese makes will then have a leg up selling their badge engineered wares here, whereas makes like Nissan who try to still be original with their trucks shake their heads as to how stupid American trade deals are for Americans.

      Thank you very much.   For my birthday last year I got a gift card for a spa day package which I booked for my birthday this year. So I spent the day yesterday getting a facial and a massage and it was fantastic. Little did I know when I booked it how needed it would be.

      Those that cannot accept a multi-cultural world and immigration deserve to lose everything. I will stay professional, but believe that our North American Economy is about to get far worse over the long term than it is now. It is amazing how people do not seem to realize that the first two years of a new president is dealing with the ramifications of the last president. The high inflation was due to the failed policies of those before. We now have low unemployment and a strong economy. Will be interesting to see how it ends.

      I say, let it get worse.  The people have spoken and this is what the MAJORITY voted for.  He even got the popular vote.  Therefore the people of America have spoken.   This is what they want.  This is what they feel comfortable with.   But I dont want to hear ANY whining from ANYBODY about what possibly may happen with him Him in power.  Fool me once,  shame on you!  Fool me twice, shame on me?   Technically this is how that saying goes.  But you never know. Maybe it really IS the lefty libtards that are the problem.   Hopefully it IS the lefty libtards that are the problem and the Messiah Trump will BE the solution to ALL of our problems.   I will be the first one to apologize if He actually does fix America's and Canada's problems.  And unite ALL of the world and the world gets to sing Kumbaya ALL in unison. Hopefully He is the next coming of Christ.   Keeping my fingers crossed but I aint holding my breath if you know what I mean.

      @oldshurst442 This pretty much sums up just how bad it is going to get. Trump's economic plans would worsen inflation, experts say | AP News

      Not just iPhones... He tariffed Canadian wood the first time around as Pres and the prices of wood skyrocketed so American home builders bought American wood which was and is more expensive than Canadian wood.  I guess that is good for American wood producers. But for the fact that house prices also skyrocketed.  And considering that Canada and US have a more or less good trading thing going on...so not that good.  Not for the US and not good for Canada.  But Donald thinks otherwise. And all the folk that voted for him this time around think that the economy will get better?  I hope so for their sake. But Elon and Jeff B's billions rose quite a bit upon the announcement of his re-election.  I wonder if those  people that voted for him, I wonder if their wealth also rose instantly?    You poor bastards... You have no idea what is coming to you... (those that voted for him.  With the excemption of the rich of course)     Donnie Rides Again
