Now, forbid that I should dislike the TrailBlazer name plate or even Blazer. You did come across something that's key (I think you may have meant something else): The old vehicles are not attached to the nameplates! It would have been nice if the old vehicles were still here and revised and modernized. I long for a revised TrailBlazer SUV from the older line. I felt that Chevy gave up on a market segment that Jeep and BMW capitalized on. Because GM discontinued the mid sized SUV line, it left Cadillac and Chevrolet without a capable contender to the hot Jeep SRT and Hellcat lines (a little off topic). I know why they did it, but at the same time they gave up a competitve edge that they still haven't quite gained back. Chevy rightly gave the TrailBlazer replacement a new name. I was just a bit disappointed to see the nameplate come back on a completely different type of vehicle. As for Blazer, the jury is still out on this one, as it seems to be popular, although different. Even here there's still something missing...I can't quite put a finger on it. I feel that the nameplate is somewhat misleading on the new product.
