GM realized that they threw away their Trailblazer business when they hastily cut midsized trucks during their bleeding period in '08. The irony was that the old trailblazers were still selling when they were cancelled. GM is still way behind in the crossover-suv market, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee is still dominating the market uncontested.

GM is behind in the crossover & SUV markets? Grand Cherokee is dominating the market?
Whether you want to call the Grand Cherokee a full size SUV or a full size crossover, GM sells about 2 such vehicles for every one of those Jeeps. You can include the Dodge Durango too, but even combined their sales would be less than those hot new offerings from Chrysler. Which brings me to another point: the full size SUVs from GM are about 5 years old now, due for a replacement in the not so distant future. The crossovers are a couple years newer than that, but they're not exactly fresh anymore either. And yet despite that, GMs full size SUVs and full size crossovers are still at the top of the sales charts.
