How about the 3.23 limited slip with a 6 speed auto. That'd make a great DD with good gas mileage and still have good get-up-n-go off the line.

This was posted over on Tech. It is the 2009 ordering info for GM. If you go to Chevy Trucks or GMC you can see what options, etc will be available for the V8 Colorado/Canyon. Just hit "Print model", it brings up a PDF page.
