The good news regarding the Hummer H3 Alpha relates to the SUV's geneology. Starting with the same platform as the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon is reason enough to give me pause. Our long-term GMC Canyon was underpowered, unrefined and unappealing in almost every way. But this version of the GMT355 platform (called the GMT345 for Hummer use) is surprisingly adequate in terms of ride quality, handling...

A small pickup is a way to get to and from outside activities, like kayaking, rock climbing, schlepping a DLP TV, fencing in the back forty, running a few bales of marijuana across the Mexican border (closed course, professional driver), etc. While full-size pickups mollycoddle their drivers in...

File this under: "I'm not surprised, are you?" PickupTruck.com is reporting that the Colorado is getting a serious horsepower injection thanks to a 5.3L V8 option. The only question is when?

As a result, sales of the Colorado have...
