This should be the next Camaro interior. Huge improvement.

It’s interesting that despite all the hand wringing over the Aplha Camaro’s interior, the AC vent are located low and in front of the shifter and the display is angled slightly downward.

One thing I like about this dash compared to the version that's in the 6th gen is that it does NOT slope down towards the passenger side. It maintains its height across the base of the windshield.

I like the looks of the RS, and more importantly, my wife really likes it. She has a '13 Equinox with the 3.6 that she will be looking to replace in a couple years. She was looking at the new Traverse as a possibility (since the new Equinox is hideous) but this just moved to the top of her list. Hopefully an RS V6 won't be overpriced.

I actually like the look of the Blazer. When I first saw the pictures I was wondering why didnt GM use this type of front end on the Camaro it would be awesome on the car. If I had a small family I would buy it since it would make me feel right at home. One thing I want to consider though as far as space is it between the equinox and traverse.

It looks like a Lexus NX from the sides.

So far I like the design of the RS Blazer. reminds me alot of the Mazda CX-5 and CX-9 (which IMO are among best looking in the CUV segment) It has that look that it looks sporty, sharp and the design seems to flow well. the other trims I am not so sure about, they seem a little busy but need to see it in person.

Agree. the front end of the SS Camaro to me just doesn't flow. It just seems to me like they tried to incorporate to many ideas and instead of sticking with the best one, they used a few from each one.

Agree. Performance is there but it still isn't pleasing to the eye to look at, to me at least.

The corporate fascia works much better with the proportions of the new Blazer.

That is a good way of putting it.

How far have we fallen when we’re comparing the Camaro to the Blazer in looks and interior.

Updated video hands on black RZ Blazer...

That is the Camaro replacement, Ford just released the new Edge ST by SVT. If these sales go well they can consolidate model lines. 2 door cars have no future. The millennial's want nothing to do with them. And the next generation will only want electric..

Wow, I can't believe they got one of those so early. A 2020 in a dealer lot when it just turned 2019?

The $50k price tag is hard to swallow. It's a really nice, but still. I paid a little over $14k for a very similarly equipped used 2014 Ford Escape -- fully loaded with panoramic sunroof, automatic parking, remote start, powered lift gate, etc. Upgraded it to a Sync 3 unit with Car Play. I know it isn't as nice as the Blazer, but for 3x the price, it's definitely not 3x as good.

14-15-16-17-18-19-20. Seven model years. New vs Used.

In 2026 you will likely be able to buy this one used at a nice price

The Blazer is a 2019 model and according to Chevrolet's website available in early 2019.

Had a USA #1 tag on the front of my 72 Chevelle SS. Guess I could put a Mexico #1 tag on the front of this. All the Chevy folks in Lordstown got a raw deal Also might want to check the window sticker on that Silverado, which lists for the same price no matter where the factory is. Ford and GM just giving up the car mrkt to foreign makes.
