(even with superficial 6th gen design cues) newBlazer is squarely inside of the puddy whipped family hauler's sphere. The EV/SS is a move toward Tesla's. gm flushed the connection to a K5 or ZR2.

FWIW…the “7th gen” is not clean sheet. Unless you’re into recycled paper. The platform is the same as S197 and S550 with some strengthening modifications that also add mass to an already heavy car. Ford has increased output to overcome the mass when it comes to acceleration, but you can’t hide the old chassis when it comes to handling.

LOL. Revolvers are so 19th century. Not that I mind, I own more than a dozen, but still...
There's a message in there I'm sure. |

Some time ago I had to explain to some guys that a manual transmission is not the paddles in the steering wheel. Imagine the price of a ZL1 manual 20 years from now.... |

After puking, I remembered Ford did it with the Mach SUV. A “mustang” suv. A “Camaro” suv….. No thanks.

What’s the difference between a platform and a program? Alpha is a platform. A1SC is a program (Camaro 6). A1SL (ATS) and A2SL (CT4) are programs. For Mustang, S197, S550, and S650 are all programs. D2C is the platform that all of those programs were built on and dates back to the 2004 Lincoln LS and 2005 S197 Mustang. S550 received a modification to the D2C platform just like CT4 received a modification to the Alpha platform (A2 vs A1) but not significant enough to make it a new platform. Same for S650. Minor mods that add mass, but not a new platform as was originally planned.
