Is the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer RS V6 a true sport SUV you should BUY?

[@keithbellair9508]

The blazer is perfect.. sporty look but with a better softer ride.. this is what people really want whether they know it or not.. not off-road harsh ride and a bunch of expensive beefed up suspension they will never use, not a super sport hard ride either.. This is a perfect mix of what the majority of car buyers want.. i think it looks so awesome in the silver

Have the V6. I use to always complain about how Chevy didn't create an SS V8 model beforehand. Tbh it does not need it! That V6 takes off! If they created an SS they would definitely need some new steer handling. I love my car and have no regrets after a year. I am glad it's sporty looking. Matches nice with the husbands Camaro.

[@yordan826]

I like it a lot and I don't think it looks outdated at all, has a resemblance to the Lexus RX on the exterior however the interior looks a bit cheap, I do agree that 44k is too much but American nameplates dealerships are always running great deals, also if you're looking to get an SUV with an old school V6 this is one of your few options.

Yes, the 6.2l would be a blast, but I can't help thinking Chevrolet engineers are missing an option; TT 5.3 V-8 would be a hoot in something this size. They REALLY need to get a mid-size 4x4 option. Great review, Joe and Lori!

Hope people are ok with buying a 19 year old engine design. HFV6 was supposed to be a better V6 than the 3800. It never has gotten there imo. See what the Car Wizard is going through in his shop with that HFV6, and what he has to say about it. I’d have to go with the T4 if I was shopping for one. If they are going to make rear wipers, they need to hide it. Also a blade longer than 3 inches would help. Otherwise, just do away with it. When I was a kid I designed ducts from the c-pillar area that used the wind to clear the rear window 🙂 Vehicle looks nice, seems to run well. I think manufacturers need to stop with the low headlights. We all know LED tech exists to make most DRL’s into the only head lighting you need. Thanks for another great video.

[@Boblib1970]

Not sure about rebates returning anytime soon. Supply is too low and the chip shortage isn't projected to be resolved until mid to late 2022, which means 2023 before vehicle production ramps back up meet demand. Until then factory rebates will be scarce and getting a car below sticker will be difficult. In my area ADM hasn't hit yet, but I think that's going to be more and more common come mid 22.
