This typical of the way polling companies bias their polls.
Which do you want the
ugly Trailblazer or Cherokee?
Sounds like your mind is made up. I would never buy an ugly vehicle, no matter what the performance.
Choice depends on what you plan to do with the vehicle.
Each has its strengths. MY (biased) opinion:
Styling - Personal preference, everyone is going to have their opinion. I happen to like the body lines of the TBSS better. And the interior is far better.
Price - Far better pricing with the TBSS, $10K+ less for a TB similarly optioned.
Performance - If you are keeping it stock for a weekend driver maybe a few passes at the strip. - Cherokee it is faster stock.
Performance modded to equal cost - TB hands down. TB's are easier and less expensive to mod. Put $10K in one and it will waste a Cherokee.
Highly modified performance - Highly modded TB's have gone much faster than the fastest Cherokee.
From last year :
10.63 pass TB's are knockin on 9 secs. now. (One is reported bottom 8's but it's only a shell lol)
Utility - TB hands down. I tow my Camaro with my TB, impossible in the Cherokee.
