Just curious has anyone seen or read anything about the new Trailblazer EXT (Extension) due out this spring?

I seen a picture of it on GM's web page and it seats 7 standard and has an overall length of 207". This is longer than the Tahoe which is 197".

Looks like Acura has started something that other Auto Manufactures are looking at for their upcoming SUV models.

Don't worry I'm not selling out as a MDX loyalist, but my sister is getting ready to purchase a regular Trailblazer. She is turning in her leased rodeo next month.

I'm still waiting for my X in April. I hope my wife will let me drive it other than to get it serviced, clean it and put gas in it.

How do you other married couples deal with driving one X in the family? I may have to buy another X, but I would prefer a pickup truck for another new vehicle in the family.

It would be nice if Acura had a luxery Pickup truck equivelant to the MDX. If your listening Acura get the designers busy!!!!

The August issue of Car and Driver contains a decidely mixed first look at the Chevy Trailblazer EXT LTZ. Their report: "Let's come right out and say it: The fun is gone. . . . it's a cut and paste job, and it's visually awkward from every angle. . . . All the fun in the EXT apparently happens in seats other than the driver's."

They do note that it contains a "real third-row seat, big enough for two adults to rattle around back there" and conclude "Soccer moms, you won't be disappointed."
