It only follows what Chevy wanted to do with the name for marketing reasons and nothing more, the current "blazer" shares no lineage to the original Blazer. The K-5 turned into the K-1500/GMT-400 series Blazer, which is an identical vehicle to the later Tahoe. All of the true Blazers shared a fullsize truck architecture. The Tahoe is the vehicle that carries the Blazer lineage today, even though there is no two door Tahoe variant that could be called a Blazer. The trashy little SUV that carried the Blazer name was simply the next generation of the S-10 blazer, but since the Blazer was now being called a Tahoe, they just decided to drop the S-10 prefix and call it the blazer because the name was free and still commanded respect. It didn't become the next evolution of the Blazer, it was merely the name that it had trotted around with like a kid in dad's shoes. The trailblazer was a continuation of the S-10 blazer's lineage, which is still being produced today. The current "blazer" lineage is traced back to literally nothing, it is a peasant with no lineage, and shares nothing but a once proud and marketable name. It's by no means a continuation of the definitive Blazer, nor of the S-10 blazer, not even the silly trailblazer SUV. Chevy has forever tarnished their honor and the Blazer name, their abomination is universally hated across every spiral arm of the galaxy, and they will burn in the fires of a thousand Saharan suns for their heresy.And the current Blazer is named correctly. It follows the evolution of the Blazer from K-5 to Trailbazer.
Also I'm a little miffed about the whole deal too, but I have a nice Bronco, so
