Which again guys, i KNOW is not ever going to happen. I'm just saying it would be the kind of car I'd be all over. Even more so than the Camaro I'm currently driving. For the hell of it, I was checking out the audi S3. It looks nice and the size would be useful but 2.0T in an "S"... hows about 3.0T or a 4.2 V8. But this leads to deeper issues, which is why does everything have to be a package, why can't they offer more options, and you configure it like you configure a computer, putting any engine you want etc. Obviously putting a 5.3 in a cruze would require a lot of engineering. But putting one in a camaro would require zero. And putting one in a colorado pickup probably wouldn't either, as i betcha it's been built to carry one already.
Anyway, the purpose of this thread wasn't to discuss how likely or unlikely it would be. It was just to talk about how cool this car would be if it existed. Hell it would be a cool car even if they put a small 4.8L V8 in it. I don't know if they're still making that engine, but it would probably still get over 300 ft-lb

Probably because GM hasn't built a Blazer for the US market for years now so the trademark lapsed.
GM has the expertise to build small performance cars. Cobalt SS, while a mediocre compact, was a decent performance car. Just seems like they've been super risk-averse ever since the bankruptcy.

Don't remember how sales were, but Solstice and Sky were huge money pits for GM. They were produced basically just to bring interest back to their respective brands.
