In typical GM fashion, it’s complicated. It was announced earlier that 2025 would be the last MY for Blazer, XT5, and XT6. All off of the Chi platform. Then XT5 was extended to end of 2026. Then Blazer was announced as going to Fairfax as a next gen. Maybe there is renewed hope with the refresh. If the refresh is as solid as the Acadia refresh (also off of Chi) there may be something to that.

In our case I would say that the savings were passed along. We bought the Model Y at a point in time where Tesla was pushing to keep Model Y as the best selling car in the world. They dropped prices in a number of countries, including US of course, to bump sales a bit. We got a great deal. About $5k less than they were selling for just a couple months earlier.
