In fact I was saying that as GM was unveiling the Blazer. I even said that I wouldn't doubt if Ford brought the Bronco back properly, with homage to the original.
No, GM failed here. This is a huge opportunity for big money makers and GM served up just another ho-hum SUV.

The Blazer itself if not a failure....it's just the wrong name (so as you say...GM's failure). Did everyone complain about this Blazer as well back in the day? (maybe they did...I honestly don't know) but at least the new Blazer apparently isn't the first Blazer that GM has screwed up...right?
As for no ZR2s at the MOAB trail, how many Wranglers there are stock? Of course the Wrangler is popular there, but that doesn't mean the ZR2 isn't a capable offroad machine. It's been proven many times to be. I never claimed it was just as capable as a decked out Wrangler Rubicon, but in it's segment, it is the best there is.
