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.
