JD will start season 39 this fall

I am amazed as well and delighted, too. I once was standing behind John waiting to enter the L.A. Autoshow. That was decades ago.

Boss status

Do they still do the old school intro white the trans am fadding away in the end?

jhon Davis hasn't changed much in 35 years

Chalres Kirkland hold my beer

More likely TT V6 if they going to do SS version

Supercharge it too

No. Make the blazer what it was. An awesome full size suv.

@@robertrichardson9953 yes i agree the old blazer was much better espesialy the k5s but if they are going to make this "performance" suv they need to actually make it do that maybe go the way jeep is with the 707 hp track hawk that thing is respectable this thing is just a joke and a disgrace to the blazer name i think if it would be possible put in a supercharged v8 thats rear wheel drive with 4x4 not this all wheel drive crap maybe they should have called it the tracker or maybe a name thats been gone for a while the astro maybe that would be a fitting name haha

That's MSRP. Between incentives and sales like end of year or Black Friday deals, no one is going to pay MSRP. And if they do, then that is a dumb decision.

You think if it was a true blazer then it would be any cheaper? Keep dreaming.

Ordered mine loaded! Fook the foreign junk. US company! Tons employees & plants. All American.

@@Davido50 You might be shocked that the Blazer is being made in Mexico.

David Klimmek Lol you must work for GM! Garbage vehicles and company as a whole.

Chevy has been playing the wordsmith game with Blazer, Tahoe for years. Tahoe in the 80s was a package for the S-10 Blazer much like Silverado Scottsdale Cheyenne used to be for the C/K line. and the Full-size Suburban and Blazer/Tahoe was neutered in 92 when they got rid of the front axle. There is only one Blazer that matters and that is the K5 based truck version. GM knows it, otherwise GMC would be making this and calling it the Jimmy. Its no Blazer. Its a Camaro based CUV otherwise known as the modern minivan. The Astro was more fitting (Its actually not a bad looking CUV) but they are slutting out their original competitor to the Broncos name because they are marketing it to soccer moms who want nothing to do with the Astro. This abomination will be crushed in junkyards in 25 years/forgotten and people will still be craving a K5. Much like Chevy screws up other historic names alienating their die hards. Legendary GM designers, names of which adorn the Corvette museum in Bowling Green are rolling in their graves.

@ExcessMean they actually changed the S-10 to the trailblazer. So they actually changed the name of both.

MOPAR 401 just like the commercial lady said " looks like a sexy *mom* car"

...which out-accelerates and out-handles the old model. Takes corners that would make the old blazer roll. What a sin on the road the old, slow truck-like blazer was.

Joel F When I first saw this, I thought it was what a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox would look like with the front end of a 2019 or Redesigned 2020 Camero’s Front End 😅, lol 😂

Ya i Agreee Hes a Living Legend

I especially like the way his voice has gradually evolved to a high-pitched bellow.

What the hell are they going to do when he decides to pack it in?

John is awesome. Living legend 100%. Cant believe hes still with motorweek after all these decades.

@@MaestroTJS We can only worry about the here and now and for now, he seems to be enjoying what he's doing.

@Old Games Reviews sarcasm? These are made to please boomers who find it easier to get out of a higher seat.

I like alot about it. We had a 1st gen S-10 Blazer and were considering a 2nd gen Blazer too (my old man ended up going with a Pathfinder instead). I'm even willing to accept the fact (though not happy about it) that it's Mexican built. But the one thing that is a major deal-breaker for me is the lack of an Off switch for their engine Stop-Start system. Until they add that switch, I just can't consider this vehicle.

@@juanzingarello4005 ok

Nah me either will sell well an do well. Its gorgeous! Buy with confidence.

@mike a OK. But I control the money and decides where it goes. And right now, not having the off switch, I decide it won't be taken to a Chevrolet dealer.

Proves you're an idiot

That’s one small minivan 😂

Minivan?! Have you driven one? It has a firm, sporty suspension, and plenty of power. It's closer to a Camaro with bonus seats than to a minivan.

Could be worse could be driving a Pontiac aztek

They should not have called it Blazer! Or even Trailblazer. They should have called it something else, like Conquista or whatever. But not Blazer.

@@knowbodiesfull5768 it wouldve been better if it was a new GMC envoy

It's an Equinox/Terrain with a new skin.. GM trash

FLY EAGLES FLY Bleed Green It doesn’t share a platform, or engines with equinox. If anything it would be an Acadia with new skin. I’m pretty sure that was mentioned in the video..

What

@@SwervinNeons the blazer

Two door Tahoe would've been bad ass

@@Krzrrazrrokr yeah

If they made it a 2 door version of tahoe they might actually be able to compete with a new ford bronco

No one ever used there suv for Of roading anyways. Rarely it was mostly a piece of jewelry then a of road machine in the past 25 years

I don't mean to burst your bubble but the closest thing most old blazers did to offroading was get driven over curbs by soccer moms that couldn't handle such a large car

You're thinking of Ford.

Ron L The bronco says otherwise...

The Bronco will be built off the Ranger platform.. so it's going to have a 4cyl engine.

@@GYPSY400 Yep. Both the Bronco and the Blazer should've been built off of F150 and GM trucks.

They have been climbing in prices.

rfdsdf1 gm vehicles are extremely over priced

GM has been clueless for years.

I would rather get a Telluride

I am from a GM blue collar family and i drive a Crown Vic lx nowadays. Wife has a 09 Tahoe and besides the full size trucks i dont want anything else they make. (Corvette or Camaro sure). And i work in Detroit. GM has Detroit hating them.

My 18 year old Buick Regal GS with headers and a smaller blower pulley did 14.6 on hard, dry-rotted tires once.

SGDevotee that’s also where the Ford Edge starts at sooo......

30k isn't that much these days. Inflation has done a number on car prices.

Maybe (hopefully) they mean pesos, since it's made in mexico. Hmmm I wonder how much cheaper they are there

And your one of the same people complaining that its not like the K5? You know how much it would cost if it was?

@@roberthart3452 Mexico builds to Chevys specifications. They can put out good vehicles.

They've been doing that since day 1

@@robertrichardson9953 you really aren't that educated then. day 1 as in since the early 1900's they've been disappointing? even when they helped us defeat the germans in ww2? plain ignorant statement you made.

yeah, that c8 corvette is way disappointing but i do love our 2017 malibu premier with adaptive cruise, lane assist, parking assist, nice 2.0turbo w/ 9 speed auto, built-in wifi, heated/cooled seats, carplay/android auto, someone to assist me at the push of a button. we bought it used for $23k with 8k miles. assembled in the USA. yeah, i'd guess your work output is much more disappointing than GM's.

@@PresentedByBailey have fun walking then I'll prefer the Mexican built Ford Fusion

EXACTLY my thought!!!!!!!!!

Eric Britton NOOOO ITS TOO EXPENSIVE

Nice I know. Looking at it now! Rides awesome.

Dean Sapp I know right? As if we're really gonna go that fast. We'll make 170 all right - in our dreams. LOL!

🤮👎

Get off the pooki pipe

I can't I stand it either but I guess it's cost effective.. Aka cheap

They've insulted the blazer

Yep.. cheap labor to recoupe for future major recalls.. or to pad the pockets of the white collars

@@FlyEaglesFly19111 that's terrible. Buy American.....ha!! America doesn't even invest in it's own workforce.

teehud313 the last Blazers made in America were already trash just stay away from GM.

Should have been built in Lordstown instead, GM stuck it to their employees! F them.

@@jacktorse2145 GM are traitors, I bought a new Camaro this year and feel a bit guilty.

@@rudfil now is a good time to get the superior Mustang it'll keep you from walking

Jack Torse the last blazers made in America were trash anyways just stay away from GM

All of GM quality control has been going downhill for decades now.

It's bullshit. The whole thing is just bullshit

I just test drove a 2019 Civic yesterday and the Blazer interior is definitely not inferior to that. Honda interiors from the last 10 years don't know what they want to be, they are all over the place.

@@stepheng3667 Yeah but the Blazer is a Mexican vehicle. Should be like 20k. Not close to 50k loaded.

Trash

I agree, you buy a Crossover for low price and high mpg. The Blazer does neither. You might as well buy a real SUV like the 4Runner.

A Toyota Highlander is about the same, and is a far superior package. They also last forever, hold their value, and do all of the good things one expects of a Toyota.

elton john The new 2020 Highlander looks amazing and is without question a better family vehicle than the 4Runner (safer, more comfortable, less expensive, etc.). The 4Runner will take more abuse off-road, last longer than forever, and is still built in Japan. A new 6th Gen 4R is coming, probably the fall of 22. The RAV4 is the best overall value and is built on the same platform as the Highlander.

Even where there's snow, four winter tires are a better investment. AWD adds weight, complexity, takes away speed and fuel economy.

The Audi Q5 is the same price twice the vehicle 9 more mpg and 1.5 sec faster to 60. Also made in Mehico

@@NONARCS Audi can keep their pos.

@@chrisl8355 fuck you cheese ball.

I don't think they were weeping over the $check$ GM wrote out to them.

@@jmasoncars4452 I'm curious what Motor Trend pays for Honda Proving Ground rental?

@@normt5463 Good question, I'm wondering what GM is spending my tax dollars on because we know it isn't quality. I wonder how the blazer RS will do against the (real definition of all new) rear wheel drive based 400 horsepower twin turbo Explorer ST.

@@jmasoncars4452 because we know that Honda won't be competitive in performance metrics with the Explorer.... You want to check up on the latest financial statements as the U.S. .gov made money on auto industry bailout. "The actual taxpayer profit on the bailout is about $350 billion, by my math. That’s right, $350 billion. All in cash, most of which has held down the federal budget deficit over the past six years. That’s serious money, even by today’s standards." Washington Post

@@normt5463 you said the key word "taxpayer bailout" speaking of performance, I don't believe the pilot or passport come standard with a 193 horsepower 4 cylinder.

@@internetsafetycar just the fact that's an option is sad

@@internetsafetycar I know that, I'm talking about FWD!

Relaxits_ alex Because the blazer was know for its rwd handing dynamics?

@@internetsafetycar yes for 2005 they all were
