Oh wait...what I'm supposed to say is that it's an abomination because it's not a hardcore off-road SUV like it should have been.

Nope, it does exactly what it is supposed to do.

I'm interested. My wife has it on her list. I also wish they hadn't called it the Blazer but not enough to boycott.

We will have this fight again when GM wants to release a 7th gen Camaro as an EV sedan.

It's a real good Camaroquinox

BluinSC · 02-07-2022, 07:32 PM

I like the Blazer as well. Its also nice you can still get a V6 as well.

FenwickHockey65 · 02-07-2022, 10:25 PM

Despite what everyone says Blazer is undeniably a huge success in its current form.

snizzle · 02-08-2022, 06:11 AM

I went and looked at sales, mid-pack, but it's hard to judge in this climate with inadequate supply. It might just come down to how they prioritize chip supply. If plants were shuttered, etc. Sales figures are all out of wack.

Yeah...sales don't make it appear to be anything special, but at the same time (under the current climate) they pretty much sell all they can make. I remember reading a posting on GM Authority a few months back saying the current supply was at just 8 days on the Blazer. My parents actually just bought a low mileage 2020 Blazer Redline 3LT model. It's nice. Aside from some lower trimmed models, I did not see any new Blazers on the lots on the closest two GM dealers near me.

BluinSC · 02-08-2022, 10:45 AM

There are a ton of Redline/Midnight Blazers and Noxes in my area. People seem to really likes the black wheels. They are also just generally good looking exterior

Looking good! Well done refresh.

KMPrenger · 02-08-2022, 12:57 PM

I think Chevy did a decent job of freshening up the design, without killing the style. It still look good. But the new wheel designs do not hold a candle to the old ones. Overall, while the current design may be getting long in the tooth, I think I might prefer the 19 through 22 models...but I'd be just as happy with a 23 and swapping the wheels with an older set.

Image not working...so here's a link to the 2023 RS model:

+1. My detective work that it would be announced at the Houston Auto Show was wrong

FenwickHockey65 · 02-09-2022, 06:42 PM

June 9th is the last order cycle for Colorado/Canyon diesels, gas models will end after that. So 3rd gens show debut soon.

What refresh??? It looks the same to me. Perhaps a tad busier up front. Sorry but I'm still underwhelmed.
