That's how North American cars are built.

Kaya when I saw the current Trailblazer, medyo nadismaya ako. Too Asian looking yung kotse to sport the North American Chevy Trailblazer name.

Again, opinion ko lang ito ha!

Wag kayo pikon talo!

Heheh may mga rabid fans ba? Pero yeah, ayan nga talaga ang tunay at orig na Trailblazer..

Yup, hehe.

Hindi daw ako nagbabasa. Yan ang mahirap sa ibang tao eh, nagkaroon lang ng subscription ng topgear or c magazine, akala alam na lahat.

Oops, OT na.

Nyahaha, na miss ko tuloy yung mga rabid fans ng montero at fortuner lalo na yung Sta Fe, of yesteryears..

the tbz will eat the prado

but much better if you get the ltz tbz that is if you can wait for the long ques

Yeah, not many in that size bracket can eat the TBZ in terms of power. It's the other stuff that might matter to other folks

TBZ vs the Prado and Patrol are in the different categories the way I see it. Since the two belong to Luxury SUV then these two will enjoy longevity in the eyes of their fans plus with their higher price tags, they are more exclusive to the upper middle class buyers.

TBZ belongs to the Mid Size SUV so its a bigger market thus, it will be more common in the years to come. But this model offers value for your money in my view.

Thanks sa reply mga boss.. yung TBZ na 2nd hand tiga dito sa may amen sa Cubao.

Prado sana 1st choice ko kaya lang yun ang pinakaluma na model.. (2007) yung 2008 model kase medyo mas mataas na kaya wala na sa budget.. nagikot-ikot na rin ako, 1.5 talaga usual asking price ng prado. Kung may makita kayo na 1M lang na ok.. let me know, wala ng isipan. kukunin ko na.. hehe.. Nasama lang yung TBZ kase nga yun ang bago. Yung patrol gusto ko ren kase mukhang macho kaya lang mas luma pa yung features nya sa Prado

Brennt,

Why don't you pay the TBZ a visit, get a test drive and see how it looks and feels? If you're happy with it, eh di yun na. Ang lamang niya kasi is siya ang pinakabago, so in terms of maintenance it should be the most worry free of the 3, giving you the latest technology. As with new technology, however, there could be some issues or bugs that are not yet fully resolved, and some parts that would cost more than old school turbo diesels. Read up on those na lang. Check out the Chevy forum on this board.

The Prado is indeed the oldest one of your choices. And it being expensive is in part a testament to its durability and reliability. Ok, let's add "perceived" to durability and reliability. It's not the fastest (it's probably one of the slowest or least powerful on paper) not best equipped (esp if you get the TMPI version), but it's pretty solid IMO. The 1KZ-TE is an old but reliable engine, and parts should be available at reasonable prices. If you find the ride too stiff, slap on OME shocks and be done with it.
