Performance variants will always be a niche market, so you're not going to sell tons of them. They are produced in smaller numbers for the people that enjoy these types of vehicles. As far as emissions, manufacturers are working wonders with turbos. Small liters, great power and solid MPG's. The Edge ST is getting ~26 highway. GM has engines that they could sink into their ordinary lineup and give us one or two SS models to have as a DD. JMHO.

I am aware of what Ford did, but that also means Focus ST and Fiesta ST are axed here. In Europe the redesigns are being sold and it is disappointing we don't get those here. The Edge ST is imo outdated and overpriced. The 2020 Explorer ST is something I would consider though. I don't know if GM will offer a Blazer to compete with that in the future. I Just think they don't see demand for it, but who knows what will happen.
