a honda ridge line doesn't have a frame but it is still considered a truck

I agree, it's just not a "Legendary" enough name to cancel and bring back like the Camaro, or Impalla. Not to mention as a former car salesman I know Trailblazers/Envoys sell like hotcakes.
I do think however that it would be a wise move on GM's part to use the S10 platform as somewhat of a starting point. I understand their thinking when they decided to move on from the S10 name, but given the low sales and poor reliability (from what Ive read) they really need to take a hard look at what the s10's offered people that they're not getting from the Colorado and canyon

Well where I live you don't see many Colorado/Canyon but 2nd gen S10 S10 blazers and trucks are everywhere it's probably the most common car in my town. I'm even starting to see a lot of first gen blazers but mine is still the only 2 door I've seen in my town for some reason.

I must admit that I really like the Colorado. I like the front end a bit better than the S10. I like the 5.3L that you can get with it, and I like how good it looks in crew cab. A lot of trucks look awkward with 4 doors, but the Colorado pulls it off.

However, like Alex said. Overpriced. Upwards of $40,000 for a small-size pickup truck with nothing revolutionary? No thanks.

I wish they made the trailblazer more rugged like the colorados... trailblazers just remind me of an old man's suv, especially the longer ones and the envoys

Soccer moms drive em around here, it's really seen as just another "family vehicle," rather than an SUV.

Yeah, think lot of people share these opinions, and the new trailblazer and equinoxs and whatnot, just look and act more like minivans than suv---we want our s10s back!!, lol.
