I think it's just a matter of time for that. The only thing that will save the Trailblazer is a resurgence in its sales, but that's probably not likely to happen unless they heap on the incentives or gas goes to $1.50 a gallon, since those things aren't getting any younger, and newer crossover competition (including from within GM) is only getting better.

I like what I see of the GMC van's proportions. It gave off a Nissan Quest sort of feel at first glance, but that may just be because the Quest also has a "modern"/"futuristic" shape, and also because the Quest is a very large vehicle. The headlight shape appears to be the same as the Acadia's, which I actually prefer to the Outlook's nose. It really does look huge in those pictures, though. At least they won't have the "too small" problem that the current vans have - now hopefully they can keep the weight down so it gets decent fuel economy.
