Anybody mooaning about what this new Blazer is should actually sit back and ask themselves why it took Chevy 16 model years to put out a competitor for this

16

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Murano

Same reason GM did not put out crossovers 16 years ago (for the most part): BOF SUVs were way more profitable back then, at least until $4 a gallon gas and the recession killed a lot of them.

Murano is selling barely over twice the rate of the Armada. It could slide off into oblivion and I doubt many people would notice/care.

despite the fact that the similarly sized Rogue it shares the showroom with, which is a CUV by the way, sold over 400,000 units last year.......

the Murano which is in much higher price classes still sold 80,000 or so units.

that's a sizable market and its growing.

Chevy should have had a Ford Edge / Murano competitor by 2011 at the latest.  Not 2019.

the last Blazers and Trailblazers were among the junkiest vehicles GM has ever built.

Nissan should have had a competitor for the SIlverado in 1980, not 2004 (BTW; still not a competitor).

Point being- I don't believe OEMs are putting the bloa-funked murano up as a target for product planners. Nissan's non-car sales ace is the rogue; everything else in their trucklet portfolio does so-so.

The last trailblazer still sold millions and if like I do, you got the limited production AWD SS you got your Corvette SUV. I like my SS very much as does everyone that has drove it or ridden in it.

Well there you go @regfootball , the sporty GM crossover you were asking for.

Me? I kinda like it, and I’m just glad there is the 3.6 liter instead of the 2.0T from the Traverse.

Good tie in to Camaro too, I wonder if there is actually any parts sharing there or just in appearance. 

I really really like it. Bronco is nice looking also. Probably one of the best attempts for the domestics to win me back. BRAVO!

Holy Aw Shucks. Not very attractive and what a waste of a good name.
