Have TrailBlazer SS's started shipping yet or what?
I STILL have not seen one on a dealer lot, and can't find one via www.gmbuypower.com.
I emailed Chevy.com about two months ago, and they said at that time in the email that they should start arriving at dealerships in a week or so, which is at well over a month ago now.

Re: Have TrailBlazer SS's started shipping yet or what?
Hmmm... that would be the first I've heard of someone having theirs. Maybe they'll start to pop up soon, but I still have yet to find even a single one on gmbuypower.com.
It's on my "list" of new vehicles.... BTW, Jason, has the GMAC Lease Pull Ahead window changed with the Red Tag sale? Last I heard it was any lease the expires before April 30th... I think Lew was checking for me too.. (I had asked in another thread)
Of course, if I got one, I wanted it to be that Carbon Grey Metallic or whatever that dark gunmetal grey color is, but it's not offered on the SS.
I think you can get Black, White, Blue, Dark Red, and Light Silver on the SS... I can't stand it when you spend MORE for the upscale version of a vehicle and then get LESS choices in color.

But oh, that price. Do I smell an SSR type sales debacle coming? $42K is alot of money for a midsized truck. And boy, there are some flatout awesome cars that you could buy for that kind , or less money.
An AWD TB SS would definitely be on my "seriously consider" list, if it had a reasonable price.

Re: Have TrailBlazer SS's started shipping yet or what?
yes we've sold one already... let me tell you that is one hell of a car!...
when you get behind the wheel you forget you're driving an SUV... the exuast has an awesome note, and the suspension is fantastic...

At $42k, I would agree... but , in the real world, it shouldn't cost anything close to that.
Basically, the SS package is about a $5,000 (sticker cost) option to any TrailBlazer, so right there, you can get this thing WAAAAAAY down from $42k sticker if you want... but the bigger wheels and tires, the LS2, the lowered ride height, the superior handling, (the AWD if you get it)... plus the SS speciifc styling, etc... it sounds like a half-way decent deal all said and done.
(My biggest beed with the TBSS is the rubbermaid dash board....)

Re: Have TrailBlazer SS's started shipping yet or what?
Boy, I wonder what the "real world" gas mileage on a 2+ ton, AWD, 4.10 axle, LS2, A4 Trailblazer would be?
Wonder if this package is earmarked for a future 6 speed auto?
