Congrats on your new Blazer and I'm glad you're enjoying it. I work on the transmission calibration so I hope those shifts are feeling snappy and smooth.

Man those RS models look good. The premier also looks pretty good also, just a different "vibe" than the RS model, which is a good thing.
Yeah its expensive, but doesn't shock me. I priced out an RS with those optional wheels and everything my wife would want for around 42 or 43K. But we don't need AWD...FWD is enough for most people in my opinion unless you live further north. Here in Missouri, we typically several small, and maybe a few "large" (large for MO) snow storms a year. FWD and careful driving is enough. Not worth the added cost of AWD. Quote:
My wife drives a 2018 GMC Terrain with the 9 speed. Did you work on that one also? Very happy with the way it shifts!

I looked at a number of SUVs from other manufacturers that were either turbocharged or had small V8s and their gas mileage ratings were almost as bad as my ZL1. On top of that, many required premium gas. I use Shell gas and 93 can run as much as $.70+ more a gallon. I think Chevy made the right choice making the V6 the top engine package, especially for a vehicle that will be a daily driver for most buyers.

love the looks of the blazer, I'm still not sold on the name plate however, to me a Blazer should be on a RWD/true 4WD platform and IMO its to close to the Equinox, which the market if flooded with that type. For that price is what might shoo me away. From the looks of the amount of the room in that engine bay, wondering if they will put something else that's bigger in it in the near future..

I love the looks of the new Camaro SUV!! Errr I mean Blazer!! But I will be watching to see how they sell I am curious. The price just seems high to me. You can get a well optioned Tahoe or all the other Cadillac SUV's already mentioned, and I wonder how many prople pick the Blazer. hawk02 you have a beautiful one thats for sure.......

I'd get one if the RS AWD package makes its way down into the mid to high 30s, outside of that, absolutely know way I'm paying 50K for a chevy crossover no matter how awesome it looks (which this does).

Other than a Camaro or Corvette I would never buy another GM product but your Blazer looks really nice and I hope you enjoy it.
