Chevy gave the Colorado a power boost in 2007 by adding two new engines, but the changes for 2008 models are more modest. And that's not a surprise, since the recent focus has been on a redesign for the Avalanche, the new generation Silverado, and now the 2009 Silverado hybrid. Look for a slight reduction in Colorado's fuel economy ratings, because the EPA is using new methods to run its tests. The figures on the sticker are probably somewhat closer to the mileage you'll actually get, but don't expect them to be right on track.
