The X-Runner sucks.

BOWTIE, BITCHES!

And with any luck, Chevy will come to it's senses and actually try and MAKE this, rather than have an engineering masturbation session with it:
http://www.trucktrend.com/roadtests/perf...0208_twin/ That would be hot, as the trailblazer is already a fantastic machine. I'd much rather have the 4.2 I6 than a V8 in that car. It's so smooth. Very nice.

Hopefully, this new sport toyota will convince chevy it needs to put the I-5 Turbo from the Hummer sport truck in to a 2WD (or AWD) Chevy Canyon. I'd buy that.

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!

Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!
[Krusty:] Hey Hey

The Federal Highway comission has ruled the
Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.

Canyonero!

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)

She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!

Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!)

Drive Canyonero!

Woah Canyonero!

Woah!

damn! gotta add the X-Runner to the potential list now...

I've always loved the Tacoma's but they wouldn't be great for towing a track car. The Tundras are nice but it would be hard for me to drive all the time.

I don't like having to say that much when somebody asks what I drive. "An X-runner" or "A light.....4Runner" will work just fine for me.


Damn, the b00st just keeps grabbing hold of me...

PSD has a boost gauge, and a turbo to go with it, not to mention it could tow a house.
