Apparently, the Blazer name is making a comeback—on a midsize 3-row CUV, sibling to the new Acadia.

And it won’t cost you a million dollars.

I think this is really pedantic, but I also understand that’s what you have to do if you want to protect your trademark.

The thick D-pillar on current CUVs is to me a modern take on the “sail panel” roofs of certain personal lux coupes of the ‘60s/’70s. So it could still concievably be styled away.

The film is called...

The Big Bus?

The Big Bus?!

I think Jalopnik or a similar site actually ran an article once about how filling your pickup bed with water is a terrible idea. Water is crazy heavy.

I guess it is true. Miata is always the answer.

I’m sure the EL model is forthcoming.

Strangely enough, if you search “F-150 Expedition front clip swap,” all the non-Navigator results are ‘02-14 Expys on jellybean (‘97-03) trucks.

The Expedition hasn’t shared the F-150's face since 2001, but I know what you mean. The 2007 model did look kinda like the ‘07/08 F-150.

I kinda like the fishmouth, so it doesn’t bother me. It’s not much different than the late ‘70s, when everything had an upright grille like the Thunderbird.

A 110-year-old taking a 91-year-old to church and shopping? Geez, rob the cradle, whydon’tcha.

All GM pickups and SUVs have a column shifter, even when they’ve got bucket seats, and it’s the same plastic piece from a $27K Silverado WT up to a $95K Escalade EXT (with plastichrome added). That’s maybe going too far IMO.

I had rather naively assumed that this new Expy would share body parts with the F-Series, like the first-gen. If that had been the case, it would’ve been comparatively easy to make a homebuilt Excursion by plopping an Expedition EL body onto an F-250 Super Duty frame and front clip.

Notice that none of the full-size vehicles even tried to make the Aston Martin fishmouth grille work—Explorer, Expedition, Flex, F-Series. The Taurus could be argued to go either way.

I’ve heard 2020. But I hope the next-gen Explorer/Aviator will be slightly longer than the current Explorer to fill the space vacated by the Flex/MKT. There’s just not enough space in the third row to compete with the new Traverse/Enclave.

That could be plausible. Remember that the Lincoln Aviator actually had a thinner C-pillar than its Explorer and Mountaineer siblings.

>the greenhouse rear looks like something from 2002,
