They may sell now, but they are very 'dated', and in a few years these design fads will fade as quick as they came in. No more do manufacturers aim for timeless designs... they take the easy way out and base everything on current fads. And this new Blazer is the epitome of that.

Meh. I get your point, but these vehicles are today's station wagons. They are for hauling around the kids and getting the groceries. They are not trucks. The buying public wants them to drive like a car, so that's what they make. Hardly anyone takes their "SUV" offroad, and those who intend to can get a Jeep (like I did).The AWD makes them better in adverse road conditions, which is nice. I have no use for such a vehicle, personally, but a lot of folks seem to like them.
