April 14th, 2012 02:07 PM #51Fortuner's and Montero Sport's price in Thailand for comparison:
Fortuner:
3.0V 4x4 A/T NAVI - 1,499,000 Baht (P2,078,000)
3.0V 4X4 A/T - 1,399,000 Baht (P1,939,000)
3.0V 4x2 A/T - 1,324,000 Baht (P1,835,000)
2.7G 4x2 A/T - 1,229,000 Baht (P1,704,000)
2.5G 4x2 M/T - 1,069,000 Baht (P1,482,000)
Montero Sport:
2.5 VGT GT 4x4 A/T - 1,339,000 Baht (P1,849,000)
2.5 VGT GT 4x2 A/T - 1,179,000 Baht (P1,634,000)
2.5 VGT GLS 4x2 A/T - 1,014,000 Baht (P1,405,000)
2.4 MPI GLS 4x2 M/T - 915,000 Baht (P1,269,000)
As you can see, the 2 leading pick-up based SUVs here in the Philippines are more expensive in Thailand, and the difference with the features is minimal. So we may expect the price of the new Trailblazer on par with the local price range of the Fortuner and the Montero Sport. I'm hoping na hindi tanggalin yung mga safety features pagdating dito.
The Chevy vehicle that serves as the competitor of the Explorer is the Traverse, not the new Trailblazer.

April 14th, 2012 02:18 PM #52This isn't made to compete with the Explorer. Ibang level ang Explorer. The old US made trailblazer I think was in the same category as the explorer but this new one is totally different from that.
Fortuner, Montero Sport, Alterra, Everest competitor ito. It's so obvious naman

The Traverse looks really ugly.
I meant to say that because of the rear IFS, which the TOL Trailblazer maybe placed closer to compete with the Explorer 2.0L GTDi. I think in the U.S., during the 90's, these SUV's were made to compete at each other, but I guess not.
So good thing with Chevy engineers. I think it's the first all-independent suspension midsize SUV under 2M or a little above 2M.iam3739.com

April 17th, 2012 11:01 PM #54The current Santa Fe was the 1st midsize SUV under Php 2M with an independent rear suspension, AFAIK. The Trailblzer will be the 1st pick-up based SUV that will have an independent rear suspension.
Just an update, the sales division of Chevy Philippines told me that the new Trailblazer will be available tentatively starting 4th quarter of 2012

Yan kung gusto nila ng sales....otherwise, it would just go the way of the Captiva.
Wala pa breakthrough local Chevy here. The Trailblazer has the potential if price right.

Mitsubishi can actually afford to have the Montero at these price levels because the 4D56 is just an ancient powerplant. The turbo and intercooler are just add-ons to boost power.

April 28th, 2012 11:55 PM #57In a way yung Chevy Cruze malakas ang sales. It can be considered as a breakthrough Chevy vehicle locally. Humahabol na rin yung Spark. If magiging maganda ang pricing ng Trailblazer, it might dethrone the Montero as the king of pick-up based SUVs. Tingin ko naman magiging maganda ang pricing scheme nito considering that it will be a CBU from Thailand, where we enjoy 0% tariff rates due to the ASEAN Free Trade area.

April 30th, 2012 03:06 PM #58tama ba ito - "based on the Isuzu D-Max pickup platform" ? http://www.drivearabia.com/news/2012...azer-revealed/
sabagay yung Crosswind nga ni-rebadge ng Chevy sa India as the Tavera.
Wishing the price is competitive for this Trailblazer, sana may base model na nasa price range ng non-VGT na Montero.

April 30th, 2012 04:48 PM #59Mali yung drivearabia.com. The Trailblazer is based on the Chevrolet Colorado pick-up. The new D-Max is based on the Colorado on the other hand. And mali din yung sinabi sa article that the engines will be sourced from Isuzu. The engines are built by VM Motori specifically for the Colorado and Trailblazer. Yung D-Max naman, kahit same body and same platform sila ng Colorado, has different engines that are built by Isuzu.
Sana magkaroon ng LS variant ang Trailblazer na pantapat sa Montero GLX variant na non VGT.Last edited by numbah5; April 30th, 2012 at 04:51 PM.

Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
