Re: Trailblazer SS review.
Great review but I hate the looks of the Trailblazer. It's just so 1980s, IMO. 
I prefer the clean looks that characterise many of today's trucks.
Each to their own, hey?

As someone that is pretty close to the north pole I wish this were the case in Canada.
If you live near the North Pole order the all-wheel drive, otherwise save the $2 grand and go for a rear-wheel-drive example
2WD - $44,185
AWD - $53,345
That's just shy of a $10K upcharge and translates to over $45K U.S. for the AWD. That's getting too close to C6 territory for my tastes.

Re: Trailblazer SS review.
Dual Exhaust could not be packaged into the vehicle and pass high speed rear end crash tests........remember....those pipes have to go somewhere......
(believe me.......we tried.........)
I guess the choice is single exhaust........or dual exhaust and pictures on the internet of one bursting into flames.........when hit at high speed. (remember the crown vic debacle???)
You reallllllllly need to drive one.............

Re: Trailblazer SS review.
"We were going to do it right, or we weren't going to do it at all," says Tom Wallace, the vehicle line executive of small and midsize truck at GM. "At first they wanted to use the 5.3-liter V8 and do nothing to the suspension. I said forget it."
This Wallace seems like a sensible fellow.
I wonder what impact he might have on "our" car?

I am very positive about the vehicle (TB SS) and I think it's a great product. I don't understand the low quarter mile time, though. I expected the truck to be mid 13's...
