The Blazer isn't tiny either. Its bigger than the Equinox and thats not overly small either. The Trax? Those things are tiny. The Blazer is slightly bigger than the last generation Equinox but the current ones shrunk a bit in order to make for more room between it an the Traverse (which managed to get even bigger). Actually, when I was looking up the specs, I see that the new Blazer is a few inches longer (both wheelbase & total) than the old K5 (aka 'big') Blazer. It is a little narrower though and quite a bit lower. So depending on how you're defining big, it could be considered bigger than the Big Blaze ... which just feels downright weird.
Anywhoo ... mid engined C8 Corvette in July. Any guesses as to where the reveal is going to happen?

I just built a Ford Edge ST on their website. I added three options (21" wheels, heated steering wheel and red paint). A 12 speaker, Bang and Olufsen stereo are standard on the ST, as well as a panoramic sunroof and AWD. Final price: $47,175. This is why the Blazer RS's price disgruntles many folks. I then went and built an RS on Chevy's website with the same features. I added Cajun Red paint and an 8 speaker, Bose stereo (not standard). AWD and panoramic sunroof are standard. Final price: $51,325. The end result is essentially, $4,000 for a lesser stereo. Again, it is all subjective. I wouldn't buy a Ford, but the $4,000 savings is nice for somebody that would.
Depending on price, I may buy a C8 when I'm done having fun with my C7 GS. I want to see all of the other variants that are going to be released. Typically, the bargain model is released first, with the upgraded models being trickled out later (C7: Stingray '14, Z06 '15, GS '17, ZR1 '19)
