estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:

GM fields a title contender
By Tony Swan, NewCarTestDrive.com
For versatility, muscle, good looks and a civilized driving experience, the new Blazer/Jimmy is far better than the old one. In fact, it's as appealing as any vehicles in its class.GM's production startup has been slow, which may make it difficult for you to find the Blazer you want. But this vehicle has unquestionably vaulted into the sport/utility front rank. If you have an Explorer or Grand Cherokee on your shopping list, we think a stop at your Chevy or GMC Truck dealer is in order. |
|
Overview:
|
Do you suppose General Motors is tired of seeing the Ford Explorer at the top of the compact sport/utility sales charts? OK, that's obviously a rhetorical question. But judging by the new Chevy Blazer - and the Jimmy, its identical twin from GMC Truck - GM is beyond merely being tired of this phenomenon. GM has actually done something about it. The new Blazer/Jimmy rolls into 1995 as a legitimate contender for the Explorer's sales title, even though a new Explorer will step into the ring to defend that title. Although that may not be very good news for the rest of the compact sport/utility crowd, it's excellent news for you. Whether you pick Ford or GM, you're going to get a better sport/utility than you would have last year. And even though we can't make that choice for you, we can say this: If you buy a Blazer or Jimmy, we don't think you'll regret it.
