Not a bad review...I kinda enjoyed his writing style. Just a couple of issues with it:

When talking about the exhaust note he writes "The SS has bark to match its bite"...think he probably meant to say "bite to match it's bark"...a little nit
But then there's his comment on the interior... "The Trailblazer's only real drawback, and it's a big one, is the absolutely dreadful interior." What?!?! Do other automakers secretly pay what seems to be every journalist to bad-mouth GM interiors?:hissy: I had a GMC Sierra C3 (aka Denali) before the TBSS and they complained about inferior plastic and poor layout with its interior too...funny, cause I found it to be a very stylish, functional, and well layed out interior that was at least as good if not better than anything Ford or Dodge had to offer. I can't wait to read his glowing review of the SRT-8's interior so I can bang my head on the desk some more :duh:.

The interior in the Trailblazer isn't really great at all. I don't mind it, I think its put together very nicely and fuctions excellent. But to some people the interior looks like total ass. I've had people point out the mismatched carpet to the right of the accelerator that stretches all the way to the passenger footwell over the transmission, the hard plastic used for the interior and a few rough edges. They don't concern me, so rock on

The interior IMO is nice. But for those that want Luxury Car interiors take some of the Cash you saved, by not buying the SRT8, and have a new interior put in. :raspberry
