As for making the new Blazer a grocery getter for soccer moms ... isn't that what they were 15 years ago anyway? Sure it was still an SUV based on a truck, but just like with the Jr Jeeps, people who actually bought them to use the capability (vs 'ugh, I am NOT buying a minvan') were probably few and far between.
At least they have the capability.

I somehow doubt it would be acceptable if the next gen Camaro was based on the Cruze because most people don’t race. (I’m not saying you would think a Cruze based Camaro is still a Camaro).
