Blazer release

 
Today i was out with a group of friends, in the group there were two blazer and some other trucks and we came out of the gas station, and some guy is looking at my truck, so i politely say "can i help you sir"  and he was like "no im just looking, and he said that chevy was re-releasing the blazer."  i didnt believe it at all, but i just wanted to make sure that it wasnt happening, and i thought this would be the ideal place to ask, so heres the question,
 
   Is chevy releasing a new blazer in the future?

I don't think so. I checked www.chevrolet.com and was told that the blazer model has been discontinued as on 2005. Although you never know. Could be a concept or something. That would be cool. Kind of like a camaro idea. A little old K5 Blazer and a little new blazer style mixed together for a concept blazer.

Not a bad idea.  Maybe to compete with the new Toyota Landcruiser?

I hope so, my moms looking for something a little better on gas, (shes got a suburban) i'd make her buy the blazer

after searching google i came up with a pic of the blazer "shark edition" which has been posted on here before but i thought i would show it again  (look at that roof rack )


 
 
 
 



i have also read somewhere that there is a new k5 in the works, to compete with the new bronco thats also in the works

So maybe this guy wasnt so crazy after all...   i cant wait to see what it will look like if its true..

this was also posted here before...    


its "supposedly" a k5 concept that was shot down with the advent of the tahoe/suburban

It's not a k5 without a solid axle, lol...
 
I had an arguement one night with one guy who said that GM stopped making the Suburban for like 10 years, lol.
 
Though, GM does need something to replace the small 4x4 SUV market... Something OTHER than the H3...

i am so going to back half my blazer now

there is a concept blazer that has been released in pictures. i cant find them on the internet right now but i have seen them before. but its just a concept 

looking through some of the older posts on the site i found this picture of a new blazer XT1  http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/7452/chevroletblazer20xt1kz6.jpg

that xt1 thing looks like a minivan, yuck.

  XT1

The pic of the K5 concept reminds me of a Tracker
 
 
as for the xt1... does it have independent front/rear wheel steering? or is it just angled funny

it looks like you can turn the rear wheels seperately...    Jeep Hurricane Style!!!!!!!!!!!
 

That just seems like a bad idea to me, more things to break/go wrong. I dunno

which one? the XT1 or the Hurricane with 2 engines and transmissions?

Come to think of it both(especially the hurricane)... but i'd love to see just how much power you could get from the two 5.7L engines... lots of torque!

Kind of... It's a Dodge
 
Now you'll have two engines getting like 15MPG on the highway! The Hurrican needs a bigger tank, lol.

Wow, we're going through the new blazer concept thing again. Check out this thread: Click ME
 
Anyway, If they brought back the Blazer, I hope they will bring it back with a little more gas efficient engine... like the inline 5 the Colorado/Canyon has

5.3L V8!
 
That gets better mileage in a 1/2 ton than the average Blazer, lol.

The latest news on an Actual gm sight..  http://media.gm.com/wieck/home/site/index.html

I'd much rather have the Borrego myself, lol.

I highly doubt the Blazer would be back.  The mini-truck/SUV market is pretty much dead.  Mid-size is where it's at.  The Ford Ranger is currently the only mini-truck left.  Everyone else went mid-size.  The new Ranger is supposed to be bigger.

Also, the Trailblazer will be dead soon also.  It will cost too much to meet new FMVSS standards so they are killing it.

So is it just going to be tahoe/yukon  and suburban/denali  ?
 
I've found that the whole market is switching over to this whole   "Cross-over"  thing.  i think theyre stupid. if your gonna get a minivan, get one and if ur gonna get a suv get one. they look stupid and i dont think theyre as  "versitile" as everyone thinks they are.
