Arrow The 2019 Blamaro

Or the Camazer......

https://www.motortrend.com/cars/chev...-awd-rs-engine


2019 Chevy Blazer RS based on the 2019 Camaro, a "Performance Crossover". I think the looks are ok, not bad. They really don't go into the performance side too much in the article. Interior definably shows some Camaro providence.

Quote:
I have to imagine it wasn't supposed to be this way. There have been rumblings from inside Chevrolet for years that the automaker was planning a sporty new midsized crossover to compete with the Ford Edge. Inspired by the Chevrolet Camaro, this new crossover was supposed to do for the CUV what the Ford Mustang did for muscle cars—jump-start a new branch of its segment that younger buyers would flock to. I bet you names like "Camaro Cross" were bandied about—new names for a new vision. And then Chevy went ahead and undid all that hard work by naming its CUV the Blazer. That's too bad, because the surrounding controversy from bringing that beloved nameplate back from the dead has distracted from what the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer RS is: a shockingly good crossover.




Thoughts?

GM is doubling down on the atrocious front end styling for the new blazer.

Who copied who..GM or Lexus?

The Camaro front end refresh is being rushed into production for 2020 to fix the 2019 styling debacle on the SS.

I sat in one the other day and the inside was ok. It was not the RS but I think a premier. Sticker was around 50. They might have trouble selling that the way the front end looks.

I would be interested in the performance end of it. I will be downsizing from my wife’s Yukon Denali XL. There is nothing performance in the smaller suv world. I miss the trailblazer SS!

If you look at the blazer image posted above you see a desert landscape in the background and midwest farmland complete with rolling hills grass and leafy trees in the reflection on the side of the blazer.

Pay attention to the details GM....

I'll keep my 1978 K5 Blazer. I have never been a fan of crossovers especially automakers trying to make them performance oriented. Maybe I'm old school but performance belongs on cars not trucks, crossovers, or suv's. I think Chevy should have built what they now are going to call a Blazer as a smaller Tahoe, meaning a body on frame of the Colorado pick-up.
