    Performance yes, looks no! That thing is and has always been butt ugly... The Blazer,Jimmy platform is also weak..

    To each his own though..

    yup definately would be fun but I wouldn't want a lowered ugly Blazer.

    No, but I did consider an F150 Lightning. In 2001 I told the dealer I would buy one if he could get it in yellow. No deal. Was the Typhoon available in yellow? How about a Subaru Baja with the WRX drivetrain? FX-45? Nah, I'll keep my VX!

    A perfect example of trying to make a silk purse out of a hog's ear (just gotta love those homegrown witticisms) Even with great acceleration, I can't imagine someone who's otherwise excellent taste in vehicles includes that fine RX, would also include that fugly GM. No offence intended Batman, I just can't see those two vehicles peacfully co-existing in the "I want that" center of one brain.
