2022 Chevrolet Blazer: Fewer Engines, More Hues

The Chevrolet Blazer will be dumping its base engine for the 2022 model year. The naturally-aspirated, 2.5-liter motor always felt as though it would have been more at home in a vintage Plymouth Acclaim or original S-10 Blazer, however.

In exchange, the manufacturer has seen fit to expand the color palette.

  • Jkross22 You know that feeling you get when you're nervous and you can feel it in your gut? Everytime I see one of these I get that. Yeah, they look great. Yeah, it'll be the worst decision of the year. And next year. And the year after that.
  • Redapple2 Style looks good. Maybe better now than when new. (is that possible?)Had one. New. 2 yr supplier lease deal. In the shop 2x in the first 5000 miles. Now I drive Japanese products.

  • James Jones The only thing that concerns ,me is a government-mandated back door--you get in and your car drives you to the police station where yo are arrested for crimes against the state, or "you can't drive because we must achieve our energy conservation goals". Not to mention that once there's a back door, any sufficiently smart person can use it--you can't create a back door only usable by those whose hearts are true. So then there'd be the risk of someone telling my self-driving car to drive off the side of a mountain/into a river/etc.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Jeff I also have a 1980 Suzuki GS1000G I rode during college and it was a lot of fun. My other bike was a 1977 Suzuki GT 750 2 stroke. My post army retirement time will be restoring those old bikes next to the 02 Hayabusa, 05 Suzuki Vstrom and klr 650. I love riding but at much reduced speeds nowadays. I got it out of my system as a young flight Lieutenant.
