Chevrolet has already announced it is bringing the TrailBlazer nameplate back to production for 2013 as a global SUV model, and now we can see what the thinly veiled concept version looks like. These images were taken by an outlet in India that was attending a Chevrolet press event.

I had high hopes, but it disappointed. GM, please give us a proper Envoy...

 

[PontiacBixler]

I like it... but I fear that we may be seeing redundancy between this and the Equinox and Traverse.

What is it they say about first impressions?

Mine for this is yuck.

The front clip is okay. But I see a tallish/narrowish Nissan Pathfinder vibe coming off this. It looks goofy to me. I would hope they would Americanize it for our tastes.

 

[Quickening]

So its an angrier Equinox.

 

[mbukukanyau]

looks really nice. I would buy one if it were sold here. Perfect replacement for my Passport

 

[Dr.Show-Me]

It looks great, sign me up!
The Trailblazer will take the market by storm.

 

[Canuck]

A bigger Nox. Odd D pillar, the roof line remind me of Nissan's SUVs like the Armada.

Hideoussssssssssssssssssssssss!

Absolutely dreadful looking! Vomit!

 

[Rocket 88]

Deja Vu its the Equinox II...

Or we could call it the perverse Traverse....

 

[poncho1982]

I like it!

That would be a perfect replacement for my Blazer.

GM, bring it, and you'll get my first ever NEW vehicle purchase.

The upsweep in the beltline around the C/D pillar is weird almost to the point of ruining it. Otherwise, I like it.

What exactly would "Americanizing" it entail? Make it angular instead of curvy? Please don't stick our country in a box. oh that was a bad pun...

 

[FenwickHockey65]

I'd have to see it in person.

Plus, considering this IS a concept, it will be watered down slightly.

Honestly, that could be a good thing in this case...

 

[mbukukanyau]

I can see Buick getting a version

I can see Buick getting a version

Doubt it.

 

[Envoy4Life]

Can someone enlighten me as to how we went from

to this?

If you took off the Chevy bowtie I would have thought this was some sort of design sketch of an MB ML SUV.

 

[FenwickHockey65]

Can someone enlighten me as to how we went from

to this?

Because it's a brand-new design built on a brand-new platform?

I'll admit that from first impressions, I like the old GMT-360 much better, but I didn't expect it to have any resemblance to the last-gen TrailBlazer at all.

What redundancy? The Trailblazer is a body-on-frame truck and the other two are minivans styled like SUV's.

Minivans have sliders, which makes them awesome. The other two are CUVs.
