New Chevy Blazer????

I am pissed every time i see another article about this abomination.
Fords new Bronco actually bears a remote resemblance to it's ancestor.
Could actually see one of those in the dirt.

This new Prius clone Chevy has so mistakenly named.. grrr! Named...
I refuse to use the name when referring to this abomination.

Lucky I am not in charge at GM.
Heads would roll.

Just thank God they did not also usurp the K5.
So so pissed.

Hey GM!
I will put either one of my actual K5 Blazers against your Prius clone anyday.
But I don't want the pink slip to your plastic trinket.

This is a K5 BLAZER doing what BLAZERS DO!
Pulling out lowrider plastic Prius clones that get stuck on the road with a little mud onnit.
Take a good look GM.
Because that stupid lowrider jeep is gonna be where your Prius clone is someday and I will be yanking it out with my Actual, Real, K5 Blazer.

Am I in the minority here that stock k5 blazers kinda suck? I mean, they are a square with a good wheelbase. We change everything else.

I am with us all in saying that does not deserve the name. It does have big shoes to fill. But lame 28 spline ten bolt shoes....
 
I wouldn't say they suck.
My 1976 K5 BLAZER is stock.
Rusty, greasy, frame cracked in several places.
But it has real 4 wheel drive, a 400 cu inch small block, and even with pinner 31 inch tires has run circles around many rigs and pulled many out of a jam.
In Wyoming winter is no joke.
You get stuck without proper gear and you die.
Is that Chevy Prius clone going to pull a trailer on skis to test it for the snowcat?

I understand that they need to make concessions to fuel economy, emissions, the style of the times.
But this abomination is just another plastic trash box that will lose half it's value in 5 years.
Wouldn't trust one of those things in real winter conditions.
Wouldn't take it on a muddy road.
It is a joke.
Where is the Chevrolet Spirit that gave us an answer to the Bronco?
Name this Prius clone anything else.
Save the Blazer name for something better.

I’d have to disagree... a stock K5 with the 5.7 is more capable then anything affordable that is being put out today by any of the manufacturers. I’d put any of mine up against my new high country any day. But I don’t take my trucks off road. My K5’s are my snow plow trucks and for the amount of snow we get here in north jersey i truly don’t need anything more for what I use them for.
 
What a piece of :poo:...
Un-deserving of the Blazer name!~just like GM did to the Malibu,Nova,Lemans ,to use a once respected name on a new P-O-S crossover SUV or sedan...


If I had the money to buy one of these--I wouldn't!--I'd go buy and restore as many square bodied K5's as I could instead..
