I agree. I've been looking for a new truck over teh last few weeks and was terribly dissapointed in those Nissan, Mazda and Toyota had to offer. Problems were either not enough power, or not enough room, or I simply did not like the design. When I saw the Trailblazer for the first time, I fell in love with it's design. (If you lok at the headlights from the front, kinda reminds me of a Nissan Skyline). As far as performance, the power is definitely there when you need it. It's confortable as hell and hopefully it will be as reliable as it's hoped to be. Overall I'm 100% happy with my purchase and i'll be posting pictures soon.
