Second Generation (2012)
The second-generation TrailBlazer was unveiled as a concept at the 2011 Dubai Motor Show, and as a production model at the Bangkok Motor Show on March 21, 2012. . The TrailBlazer returns to the roots of General Motors' classic body-on-frame SUV's that the first-generation TrailBlazer abandoned. As is the case with the original Chevrolet Blazer (pre-1994), Tahoe (1995-), Suburban (1973-present), S10-based Blazer (1983-2003), the TrailBlazer will be based on a pickup truck chassis, in this case the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado.
This TrailBlazer will be built in Thailand and possibly in Brazil as well. Although management is opposed to bringing it to the North American market because of fuel economy regulations and the push to crossovers, dealers and many Chevrolet truck fans on the Internet are pushing for the TrailBlazer to come to North America, likely in the Wentzville, Missouri plant where other GMT700 trucks are being produced.
The Trailblazer will be sold in Australia as the Holden Colorado 7 from 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“Our Indian said that he was a doctor, and could tell me some medicinal use for every plant I could show him ... proving himself as good as his word. According to his account, he had acquired such knowledge in his youth from a wise old Indian with whom he associated, and he lamented that the present generation of Indians “had lost a great deal.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
