I've already seen this happening in a couple GM truck groups. They are losing their minds

I don't hate it (probably because it looks so much like a crossover Camaro), but I'll probably never buy an SUV in my life so my opinion doesn't mean much

I guess this new design language works better on SUVs but the new Blazer is really pulling off the new Camaro look which makes me feel like the 2019 "facelift" of the Camaro is even more questionable
Front grill looks Lexus.

While I’m not digging the 6.5 Camaro SS refresh, the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer has found a fan I me. And my wife too! We were looking to replace her 2015 Equinox LTZ with a newer Equinox. Then I showed her this. Looks like she is interested in this now instead, in the RS trim with the 3.6 V6. Cool!

My daily driver is a Blazer ,which i been driving for the last 18 years and all i can say is i thank heavens the new Blazer looks more like my Camaro then a old Blazer ,don't need another stupid looking retro vehicle . My only concern with the new Blazer is what color i will get it in , i could care less if its not a body on frame Blazer that looks like a 45 year design. I seen pictures of the retro Bronco and didn't know if i wanted to laugh or cry . Designers need to leave the past in the past and get better at what they are paid to do . Chevy has some of the most ordinary suvs/cuvs on the market and thats about to change.

I agree 100% and also no Buick Envison (made in China). There are also Silverados made in Mexico. I wonder how many buyers even check the window sticker. Of course some of the Camaro content is foreign made. Helping to kill US jobs and increase trade imbalance. JMO.

Anything is possible, but that's not what's happening here. The hard truth is the new Camaro refresh is a step backwards. The design team confused "aggressive" with "ridiculous black grill". The new Blazer takes the Cam6.5 design and refines it.

You can put makeup on Roseanne Barr and make her look "significantly better" but she'll never be Kate Beckinsale. The Cam6 got a lot of flack for looking too similar to the Cam5, not for being fugly like the Cam6.5 is. The Cam6 took the Cam5 look and refined it kind of like how the Blazer took this Cam6.5 and refined it. All the photoshop tweaks in the world don't make the 6.5 a sexy car like the 6 was.

Well, I guess we won't be reading any posts from you guys anymore since the devices you're typing on are made in China. Oh, and don't forget to turn in the TV's too since they're not made in 'Merica either.

Still have a choice on some autos, not so much on computers.

Window sticker on son's 17 Camaro says engine and transmission, USA. Other content 17% Mexico. I admit globalization is here to stay.
