Midsized SUVs to get the Boot

Ford and GM look to crossover vehicles

Detroit’s automakers, Ford and GM, will be cutting back their midsized SUV’s, and in some cases, popular mid-sized SUVs will be cancelled completely. In fact, the infamous Trailblazer will be axed by 2010. In 2009 GM was going to give the trailblazer a remake, however, it seems it will instead be cancelled.

The moves come as sales of mid-sized SUVs slump. U.S. sales of the Trailblazer and Envoy peaked at a combined 418,381 units in 2004. That dropped to 352,012 units last year.


When the trailblazer is killed off, GM will begin implementing crossover vehicles that will be more economical for larger families to buy.  Most of the cross over vehicles are still in concept design, so it will be a year or two before we see any of them.
