The GM Authority Take

2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Launch

The decline in cumulative U.S. Colorado sales volume is surprising given the nameplate’s stellar sales performance since the launch of the second-generation Colorado in 2015. As in prior months, we are inclined to attribute the decline in Colorado deliveries to highly lucrative incentives on the Chevrolet Silverado, bringing the price of the full-size truck into the midsize territory.

Specifically, the incentives on the Silverado 1500 included a discount of 16-17 percent in April as well as in May. By comparison, Chevy Colorado incentives were limited during those months.

  1. Do you think while new colors are being added to Silverado we have less choices for Colorado and ZR2?
    Perhaps if your after more WOW the colors should be on all the color choices.
