wish it had a new interior tail and head lamps and a 6speed, but you cant have everything you want I guess. Still a great vehicle though.

Well it doesn't beat the SRT8 in straight line performance, but man does it look awesome. (Especially in black)

I don't know if I should trust that review... with the media being biased and all. Who knows, maybe GM paid the reviewer for a good review, just like how other companies do it.

I love how they have smoothed out the body and bumpers. Will it come in other colors?

If you want fuel economy, buy an Aveo! Other than that, it is a good review. I will keep my '02 TB though.

Good review, it doesn't beat the SRT-8, but isn't far off anyways, and it is priced better.

Nice review, from a fair and objective auto journalist. If only
GM could update the rubbermaid interior.

Re: 2006 TrailBlazer SS blazes trail to some major fun driving

I dont give a crap aboput the if the Grand Chair SRT8 had a Enzo Ferrari engine it is one of the Ugliest SUV's ever, I would never have one. It might be a few ticks quicker than the TBSS, but who cares the TBSS is a very nice looking SUV, the Crand Chair is untolerable. To me it looks kinda like if GM tried to SS-up a Hummer H3, kinda.

Re: 2006 TrailBlazer SS blazes trail to some major fun driving

For those that are TB owners... are the interiors all that bad where you get in the truck every morning and regret buying it because of it? Even if it does have a rubbermaid interior... it's supposed to be a truck for crying out loud... maybe too loudly... but, you get my drift...
