I was scrolling through my news feed in bed this morning and one of those C&D articles from June popped up about the upcoming 2022 Jimmy. While I personally feel that the render they used is hideous (as are most GM products as of late), it got me thinking that something they could do to sway away both Bronco and Wrangler potential buyers would be to offer a factory V8 option. I realize it is HIGHLY unlikely, but it would certainly be a bombshell that would get many of you in this forum, and elsewhere, to reconsider their options. Ford has typically been the innovator (domestically at least), while GM usually "waits and sees", and then tries to improve upon or put their own spin on what Ford and others do, and a V8 option would be a game changer for many.
For me personally, it would depend on looks and capability. If it ends up being a V8 crossover, I'm out.
As a side note, I have no idea how Blazer sales have been, but living in Atlanta where many people here want the latest/greatest/newest vehicles, it also hit me this morning that I have seen ONE Blazer in person since they were released. Assuming sales are bad and judging by the Bronco hype, a body on frame, off road focused, V8 Jimmy could be a disruptor and a way to redeem themselves after the Blazer.
What do y'all think?
