So don’t buy one? Seems simple to me.

How on Earth did they squander the resurrection of the Blazer name? 

That frontal area is most likely reserved for heat exchangers. The higher horsepower engine would require more heat rejection too.

Eh, the suspensions are the more complex part of those trucks than the engines. You could likely never repurpose GM’s Mag-Ride to do the whole street-adaptation-prerunner thing that the TRX and Raptor do.

Some (like this author) will look at these numbers and imply that these workers must be poor and that this isn’t a living wage and that GM (and other automakers) are ripping off Mexican workers. I would wager to guess that the prices of everything in Mexico are far lower than here and that a GM or other automotive…

You can get a nice Montreal for less than that so I don’t know why you wouldn’t. They’re so damn cool.

Wow this is a really original take. Very witty.

I see two issues with this example...

Yeah, they’ll use some form of “Blazer” instead

“or will the all-electric Vette be something else entirely?”

whats really fun is they offered the exact same drivetrain in the HHR SS. 

and rebadged with Pontiac as the forgettable G5

Weirdly, I’ve driven bolt of these versions in anger. At one autocross I swapped cars with a friend that has a Saturn Ion Redline, the supercharged version. The steering was simultaneously some of the heaviest I’ve ever driven, and also the most numb. Combine that with the lack of LSD, and I had absolutely no concept…

yeah, styling was lame so this is often overlooked but it was very quick.
