    The Blazer looks so much like half a dozen other crossovers that I didn’t even realize Chevy was making them again. There’s no mistaking the Bronco is back.

      Exactly. I have always been a Chevy guy but Ford is crushing it here. Also, I used to have a 1999 Blazer ZR2 in college and that was a pretty good off-road vehicle. But this new one... one of the Chevy execs said that you could pull up to a 5 star hotel with the new blazer and not look out of place. It’s like that’s not a selling point for a freakin Blazer.

      When you see a Bronco, you know it's a Bronco and you get excited.
      When you see a Blazer, you get confused and ask "Is that a Blazer or an Equinox?"

But its not what I bought it for, if I was needing off-road versatility I would get a Wrangler wish the FJ Cruiser was still around yeah I know it is in some parts of the world but not where I live.

      @MrKEMills 4 роки тому

      @Danny Gray Most people I’ve seen driving this new Blazer around are girls. The Blazer also comes with the same 2.0 Turbo four cylinder that is in the Equinox. The S10 Blazer should have never received that name in the first place. It should have been called something else. However, at least the S10 Blazer did come with a 2 door variant and was a body on frame SUV. Also, the Pilot and the Passport were completely different, as the Passport was a body-on-frame rebadged Isuzu Rodeo. The Pilot is a unibody crossover that was actually designed by Honda.

    4 wheel drive back in the 60s & early 70s was relatively expensive, didn't work well on dry pavement and required you to stop and get out to engage the front hubs to use it. Therefore the only people who bought the early SUVs were farmers, ranchers, contractors, and serious off-roaders, i.e. people who actually needed 4 wheel drive. Now everyone thinks they need an SUV to be safe. Even my wife who has always preferred small hatchbacks is thinking her next vehicle may be an SUV

      @@greenlambo That is such BS. CAFE regs have been a sham from inception. Cars have not gotten more fuel efficient by a useable and significant margin since 1975. In fact, the only thing that has changed is that a) hybrid technology has gotten a significant boost (thankfully), and b) corporations constantly cut corners and pull shenanigans just to arbitrarily pump up a meaningless average value. For example, a 1975 year model Ford Bronco got 13 city and 18 highway miles per gallon, compared to the 2021 model which will allegedly pull out 21 city and 26 highway. Manufacturing a surplus of poorly made or poorly selling cars that exceed standards count toward upping the number, and are counted alongside cars that actually sell and are out on the road. Note, too, that the cars that sell the best tend to be those least restricted by CAFE (crossovers and full-size trucks). Very few people want to compromise on power, interior capacity, reliability, and aesthetics simultaneously just to be more environmentally conscious. If we truly want to place the burden of environmental healing on the consumer (instead of heavy industry and overland/oceanic/aero shipping, which causes the most pollution), then they are going to have to do a LOT better than taking away popular cars that work and replacing them with ugly little coffins because HURR HURR NUMBER GO UP WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY A CARBON TAX NOW YAAAY. Why do they think sales are down? When your options are "bland '98 Corolla that still works for $2k" or "fuck-ugly abomination that somehow has less acceleration and towing capacity than a '98 Corolla for $30k", guess what impoverished people are going to pick? It's a no-brainer. But the eternal iron fist of Big Green won't be stayed by anything less, and Big Auto is content with making shitty cars to satisfy the bean counters and lawyers, so I guess all this is moot.

    The most infuriating part of the “Blazer” is that GM already had a perfectly good midsize truck platform ready to do. The TrailBlazer may have died in North America in 2009, but it kept going for another generation in other markets. Australia even got it badged as a Holden. It’s still in production in Brazil. When they first teased that they wanted to bring back the Blazer, Trailblazer, or both, everybody figured that they’d just bring that one over or build something new on the same platform.
    I get that they want to focus on the lucrative crossover market, and that’s fine, but leave the Blazer out of it, please. Nothing was wrong with the Equinox name, and even if they thought there was, there’s no excuse to get the name of an off-roader that a lot of people care about involved.

      EX7RUD1CON They are; I had one for years. I have owned Porsche’s, several Corvettes, AMG’s, BMW’s etc.
      The 350Z are best described as you did: fun. Not super fast, but not really slow either. Relatively comfortable, decent gas mileage, maintenance costs are about the same as a basic run-of-the-mill sedan. Used prices are very low as well compared with similar cars since they made so many of them (350Z’s were the #1 or #2 best-selling sports cars throughout most of their production run, usually switching spots with the Chevrolet Corvette)
      Surprisingly reliable as well; I put ~250K on mine w/ regular maintenance and no major problems (just regular maintenance; the transmission did inexplicably lock in 3rd gear on two separate occasions, neither of which I was driving or even in the car. Since I put ~99% of the miles on that car and didn’t experience this, I have to conclude this was driver error). The convertible top mechanism began acting up as well, but it wasn’t inoperable nor was it relevant to driving requirements.
