Yep, they're out. My dealer got three Blazers. The RS trim which I bought, a Premier trim, and a base 1LT.

My Blazer has the Enhanced Convenience and Driver Confidence II and Sun and Wheel packages. It was stickered a couple hundred bucks past the $51K mark.

looks great!

i'm a bit surprised by MSRP, not sure i should be but damn, mid 40's MSRP.

That is correct, the RS comes with the 3.6L V6 LGX -- same engine that's in the six cylinder Camaro and a bunch of other GM models. The base Blazer comes with a 2.5L 4 cylinder. Both engines are mated to a nine speed automatic transmission.

As I posted, my Blazer was stickered a few hundred bucks north of $51K.

As of recent, I can’t help to think that, with the Blazer having so many blatant, direct cues from Camaro, maybe GM did this very purposely... Like to either guage a “Camaro” SUV or pre-condition to what may come next.

Just my thoughts “out loud”.

Anyway...

Comments on the vehicle’s ride? How are you liking it? Likes/dislikes?

The Blazer has a high door line just like the Camaro. If blindfolded, I would have a hard time distinguishing the interior between the Blazer and my ZL1.

My wife made the comment that it has a really nice ride, and I have to agree. The nine speed transmission is something special. It shifts fast and smooth.

My Blazer is AWD. It has the option to switch between 2 and 4 wheel drive via a selector knob. I traded in a 2014 AWD Acadia and I disliked not being able to take it out of AWD.

My Blazer even comes with a "sport" mode. You can manually shift the transmission if you want.

My biggest disappointment so far is the lack of powered fold-in side mirrors. The mirrors fold-jn but you have to do it manually. I think it they should be power fold on a vehicle of this price.

I like the look of the new Blazer but my very nicely optioned 4wd Silverado z71 msrp was 49k. you can get a loaded Jeep grand cherokee V8 trailhawk for $50k msrp. the blazer should have a V8 to be in that price range.

Engine bay and rear storage area.

Good looking ride

Damn, too bad the Blazer will not come to europe (seems like Chevy leaves the EU market as far as latest informations from dealers go). It's really looking good and I'm usally not into SUV
