Should a small truck venture come to fruition, the unnamed Chevrolet would be closer in size to the old S-10 and GMC Sonoma combo last available nearly 10 years ago.
What do you think? Does the Equinox/Malibu-esque front end belong on a compact truck? Should GM make this truck available in the U.S.? Is there still hope for the small truck in North America?
