08 blazer

i was just thinking a new 2008 blazer? why not. Just imagine an 08 blazer ZR2 big enough so you could put 33 on it make it an option to have a 1500 half ton pick up motor in it they would have to improve on exhaust from previous years i was thinking maybe a special rims and tire package BFG'S and ZR5 rims idk tho seems a little far fetched
 

They are considering bringing back the blazer but in k5 form of which the prototype looks lame!! I would love for them to bring back the s- series blazer's with bigger motor options and some updated body cues but then again I don't think it will happen!!

would be nice...but seems the trailblazer is taking over......
 
blazers should have had the 5.3/5.7 option for sure......
 
Now that I think of it does chevy have any smaller suv's in their lineup? trailblazers too big for me......

equinox is the smaller of the suv's i think

I really dont want to see another Blazer. IMHO, GM is doing really good lately at ruining the nostalgia of the older models...

I want to see more concepts of Blazers like this one. http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/010115-4.htm

haha wow i rem when that concept first came out. its alright but i think they should do somethin off the colorado styling imo i like the lines of the colorado. for an s series that is

Yes...bring back the blazer!

Bringing back the blazer would be awesome, but the trailblazer reigns supreme right now. The trailblazer is offered in both a 5passenger and 7 passenger setup. Then the next smaller chevy suv is the equinox. Then there is the tahoe and the suburban.

equinoxes are stupid, they are technically an SUV body, but not a Sport UTILITY Vehicle,  too much of a car IMO...

ya i really dont like em either i think its just a basic copy of the trailblazer and kinda a repeat vehicle they dont need

the blazer has always been for the sporty person one who needs to get somewhere using 4 wheel drive so they can get to there favorite fishing spot taking away the blazer took that away really the tahoe is to big and expensive for the average person

The Trailblazer, along with many more so called SUVs, is a poor attempt to attract soccer dads away from being embarrassed by driving a minivan.  That's it, plain and simple.  The original Blazer was made as an offroad capable vehicle and about the time they started putting four doors on them it all went to hell.  Not to offend those with the four doors, as a few folks have made them offroad capable, but the last true offroad Blazer made from the factory was the ZR2.  I wouldn't go so far as to say the Z71 Tahoes are made to be offroad capable as more to appeal to soccer dad.  The day they started making trucks, in general, ride like cars was the end of making a true offroad vehicle.  Now days, when someone is on the lot looking at a truck they are more concerned with what options it comes with more than towing capacity and ground clearance.  This is why the Rubicon is so successful.

The last true off road Blazer was the K5. Solid axle FTW.

Bring back the s-series blazers in colorado trim with updated interior and body!!! Oh and with more motor options then v6 or 4 cylinder!!

I made this in paint a while back. What do you all think?

I totally agree.  And I like your Colorado-chassis concept, Jimbo!  I just wish they'd re-do the face of the Colorado. IMO, the lights are too big.

Will - the K5 concept also looks cool, but I think I would want a slightly longer wheelbase.  I also wish they'd let people opt for manual transmissions again, but I think it would take a major world crisis for that to happen.

i dunno.....i think GM is doing very well with the TB...i mean my parents bought an 07 SS TB and that thing is a beast.

The TrailBlazer, Envoy and Rainer are all getting ready to be phased out, they are being replaced by the Lamda vehicles, Saturn Outlook, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave and the soon to be introduced Chevy Traverse http://www.chevrolet.com/traverse/. There will be no midsize/small SUV's with true 4wd, only AWD.

Ever seen a lifted trailblazer?  Looks pretty freakin sweet 

I like the mid-size SUV thing chevy has going on.  But not the acadia-type.  That looks like a bubble on wheels to me .    Hopefully that Traverse (hate the name though) will flow a bit better!

ya i agree i hate the look of the acadia and others. just dont like the styling on them like u said they r just too bubbly or something

I like the colorado/blazer rendition done in paint. I think the lights on the colorado look stupid both front and rear lights. If the front lights were smaller they would look better imo. I would definately buy one that looked like that rendition. The trailblazers are cool, i haven't looked into them much, but I got to say the midsized gen blazers are sweet, wish they could continue on that wheel base and chasis and just give it some newer looks. I don't like the looks of the "traverse" but the acadia is sort of sweet (at least when i first saw it).

I doubt Chevy is ever going to make another 2dr offroad capable SUV. The market cares more about the environment and fuel economy than to have a V8 in a small suv with big tires and solid axles. Those days are long gone boys.

Yeah mom was looking at getting a trailblazer and I was really hoping she would decide against it (she did, the charger ships out on the 13th) And we looked at one of the new durangoes...it didnt have any more ground clearance than the friggin town and country sitting next to it. All this crossover business is a bunch of BS too.

Look into Land Rovers when you get a chance
