The price for a new Silverado with back seats and 4wd is not even close to the same price as a similar Colorado...
The SSR was an attempt at bringing back the old style pick ups, which did fail but wasn't a crossover.

The prices of the Silverado and Colorado aren't really far from each other, a well equipped Colorado is in the low 30's and a Silverado is in the mid to upper 30s. If you can buy at the right time you can get a Silverado for less than a Colorado. The sticker on my truck was $36,500 and I got it for $27,900 after the rebates. Even if it wasnt on sale I would much rather spend an extra $75-$100 more a month for a much more capable vehicle.
