As we become accustomed to what are most
definitely the middle months of winter's wrath here at the Powerhouse, many of
us on staff spend extra time huddled up with a warm drink, and reading online
about developments and product news within our beloved auto industry. Many
models that were once just a faint idea materialized over very long amounts of
time, and after once just being a concept on the drawing board, finally roared
to life and took up real estate right here on the lot. The folks on staff at
the Motor1.com blog were a bit skeptical out of the gate when
writing about the potential resurrection of the Chevy Trailblazer, and as every
media outlet has to be thorough and analytical, we completely understand.
Beginning by stating that Mitsubishi is slated to
bring back the “Eclipse” namesake on a crossover, editor Jacob Oliva claimed
that he simply wasn't sure about the quality of what was on the way, much as
movie critics are skeptical of remade classics. The sketches you can see here
on the blog show what the rumors confirm, that it looks like Chevy is bringing
back the Trailblazer name with the intentions of making it a crossover. It is
no secret that sedans have been losing popularity by the year, and just like
any entity, Chevy wants to hedge their bets safely, and crank out the type of
vehicles that are in the most demand.
The Trailblazer will fill the spot in between the
Trax and the Equinox crossovers, and it is still available in Thailand and
Brazil. Consumers are bound to get excited for a rugged and very capable SUV
that is built specifically for those who have the sudden desire to pursue
off-road terrain. Chevy has specifically-designed styling cues that distinguish
our brand from everything else on the road, and every time you awaken your
senses by test driving one of our vehicles, you'll wholeheartedly agree. The
electronic adjustable driver seat and available folding second and third-row
seats are designed for complete comfort and maximization of interior space, and
the Trailblazer will be an extreme asset for anyone embarking on a trip further
than the daily drive.
The choice of trim level is one way to put a dose
of extra personality into your purchase, and the Z71 trim selection will
absolutely have the ability to turn heads: it offers a more aggressive set of
decals, blacked-out enhancements and iconic badging. The 3.6-liter engine
expected to be present in the Trailblazer delivers 275 horsepower, and will be
mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. You'll enjoy the benefits of the
now-common high tech features that make the Chevy namesake so awesome:
available remote start, the much-loved Chevy infotainment system, hands-free
calling, and multiple USB ports on board.
One of the thoughtful additions that drivers have
been raving about as of late is the electrochromatic rearview mirror: it
amazingly reduces glare by darkening automatically when tailing cars'
headlights shine into your rearview, causing an annoyance that has distracted
many during their travels!
