Something based on this would have been great (and not that "Blazer" that looks like every other SUV)



or along these lines but with full SUV status:

My father still, to this day, bitches about a Ram Charger he bought circa 1978 bc it was a little cheaper than the Blazer he really wanted. The Charger overheated and died within a year and he’s never bought another Chrysler product.

It’s another minivan with sheet metal to fool soccer moms into thinking it’s not a minivan so they feel cool.

I had not seen the jalopnik site before (that hosts the original link). It's great. Especially scroll down to see the article about the woman in Jackson MS steeling her own car back after she saw it being driven to Lowe's when she'd left it at the local dealership for servicing.

For that laugh alone, thank you.

I wouldn’t have bought it the first time.

My first car was a 1987 S-10 Blazer Tahoe 4wd. I miss that old hunk of shite.

Yep. I despise most modern SUVs. I hope the new Bronco will be cool looking but they'll probably screw it up too

Soccer moms buy CUV's.

They will sell a shitload of the new Blazers.

btw-Jalopnik is staffed with progressive filth.

Another SUV going station wagon.

Seriously, the demasculinization of our society is maddening.

I had a 1983. Same color. That red/white combo was awesome. Miss mine too, on occasion.

Test drove one last month. Salesperson kept saying, it's basically like a land Rover but less expensive.




That thing would get it's arse kicked if it tried to go offroad. The only American SUVs that come close being as capable and nice as a Land Rover are the high trim models of the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

What the frick? The Blazer name deserved better. I'm 25 but I love the old Chevys. Have an 86 K10 with a granny 4 speed and a 350. The thing rides like a brick and burns gas like there's no tomorrow but I still love her.

I actually think it looks pretty damn good, but I agree it shouldn’t be called the blazer. It’s a completely different model

How many people do you think will ever take one off road? That's a fooking station wagon.
