I don't know any vehicle that isn't way over priced. I've never looked at an Infiniti, but the 2020 Blazer RS I looked at is fully loaded and right now discounted down to $42k

True but I stated WAY over-priced for it's segment. It's a Chevy and shouldn't be priced to compete with luxury vehicles. I'd by the Cadillac equivalent before I spent the $50,000+ they wanted when we drove it. Although, the deal you mention does sound quite good and appealing. It was months ago when we drove one and they wouldn't budge on the price. So, we walked.

We love ours! Fun to drive and real practical for shopping. Nicknamed it the pregnant Camaro.

Depending on whether you look at purchasing or leasing the Cadillac XT5, XT6 have better leases then the Blazer. On a purchase they are also super close to a Blazer in cost with a lot more features. (I'm in the industry) Just price both before you jump. Both are awesome vehicles just get the most you can for your money.

Well I just drove the Blazer. I did like it and they do have the Silver/Black RS as mentioned for $42.3. It's fully loaded and was the owners assist's demo. She has put about 400 miles on it. I do not like that the rear seat only has one vent that is between the two front buckets. The Acadia has passenger heat/cooling controls with vents there and vents over head. Honestly that was about all I didn't care for. I was on the other had very under whelmed on the trade value they gave me for my Tahoe... So I didn't do anything just yet.


Yes, if you get a new RS Loaded with no incentives it is $50k+...

Cadillac XT5 or XT6 hey? I've never looked into one of them. I'll have to check one of them out. Also I purchase not lease.

Here is a Canadian review of the Blazer vs the Cadillac XT5, they note the price is high on the Blazer as well for it's segment. Thought some might find this interesting.

At least you guys are buying with U.S. dollars. Add 35% for the Cdn exchange although oddly the Blazer is probably only 25% higher, that isn't unusual though often price points are lower in Canada given the stated exchange rate.

I like the looks of the Blazer but also questioning the price on it, a salesman I talked to said I'm not the first guy to mention the pricing. Maybe as demand slows GM will bring down the price, think the Blazer is a hot vehicle right now. It sure does look like the SUV equivalent of the Camaro.

Thx.. Ya, good review. They are a hot item, that is for sure. The 2021 all black loaded RS that my wife and I test drove already sold. I just got a text from the salesman I was working with and someone bought it this afternoon. That was OK by me, because I wasn't paying $53k for it anyway.

When I was looking into buying this year I was able to find a fully loaded AWD RS with a $50K+ MSRP for $41,500 + TTL. That's not terrible for the segment.

[bigd1276]

Sticker on mine was $51,300, fully loaded with options. Discount/rebates down to $42,300, almost 18% off sticker. I was pleased with my deal.

Is that the Riverside Blue Metallic Blazer? In the pic it sure looks close to that Hyperblue.

Yep, I did find one at $42,500. Silver/Black RS fully optioned out. If they would have given me fair trade, I would have probably went for it. I might try to sell my Tahoe myself and then look at a Blazer, but I wasn't going to just give them my Tahoe.

what they need is a Corvette SUV to compete with the Urus

HyperBlue Camaro
Bright Blue Metallic Blazer.
Blazers a little lighter blue than the Camaro.
