If this is true, it’s pretty ingenious:

"This particular Chevrolet Colorado mule was caught entering Ford’s Dearborn Test Track. Ford Authority then captured the model lower its outriggers and engage in some aggressive driving maneuvers for the purpose of rollover testing. So, what in the heck is a GM product doing testing at Ford’s testing facilities? The short answer is that it’s not.

In other words, this is not a GM product. Instead, Ford Authority’s sources specify that this is actually a mule for the upcoming Ford Bronco. Instead, the Blue Oval decided to use parts from the Chevy Colorado’s top hat as the ultimate camouflage, and to throw sleuths – such as our colleagues at FA – off the scent. What’s more, the vehicle’s overall footprint matches the general dimensions of the early Ford Bronco mule that was spotted earlier this year wearing a Ford Ranger cab."

What part of this is ingenious? Looks absolutely hideous.
:CWL: It is absolutely hideous. The ingenious part is that it’s probably a new ford bronco test mule, but to throw journalists off the scent they hacked the Chevy Colorado body onto it.

Gawdy looking, just horrible. Reminds me on the Pontiac Aztec. Worlds worst looking car.
