New ones are just rolling problems on wheels, I pulled up to the gas station awhile ago and a lady was there with a brand new Chevy Crossover, probably a '17 model. She had just put gas in it and the car went completely dead, had power but refused to do anything when the ignition was pushed. She had to get her brand new car towed to the dealer, ridiculous!

      They're just playing to the current market. Every brand has a whole big range of SUVs that are barely bigger than one another but that's what the people want. I agree they should've made the Blazer more off-road worthy or at least given it a different name, but the car itself isn't that bad.
      And it isn't going to hurt sales either. If anything, I think it'll help sales because the older people that are getting SUVs are going to remember the Blazer name, possibly connect it to a good memory or something, and then buy it based off nostalgia or maybe just name recognition.

      Which is a shame because the Blazer and the Hummer H1 were literally the only vehicles on the road that were seen as a "man's car". Everything else is either gender neutral or identified as being a "woman's car". Almost anything under 3000 lb is seen as a woman's car these days. You just can't win if you're a guy.

      A trip to craigslist/ faceboom market place youll find them with v8's running and driving listed for 1.5-2k. He has a 6 its less desired probablly listed for 1.2-1.5. Then the kid probablly found one desperate enough to let it go for 500 bucks which isn't suprising. If you have the time, the patience, and willingness to sell off part of your soul for a good deal its more than possible.

    A lot to be said for a car with a bench seat and no floor shift.... but I'm not going to say it.

      Some older Mercedes had 4 on the tree. 1960's 190 model, I believe. (5 if you count Reverse)

    Please talk about them more, there are too many like me still living in those days and sick of new junk cars.
