^ yup sept yung mirage. Afaik wala doon, baka sa Oct. issue yung article.

It's there ... wala siya sa Front cover pero merong piece ginawa si Topgear. Same setting as C! Mag, nasa Thailand sa isang farm/ranch yung test ... this is the Sept issue with the yellow mirage on the cover.

Hehe tempted to post a picture of the article here pero baka ma-sample sa akin ang cyber law ng Pinas eh pero eto nalang ... check this page from topgear and you'll see na meron nga silang section about the new Trailblazer (here)

is this Trailblazer head and shoulders above the rest (Fortuner/ Montero sport/ Everest) ?

coz I am contemplating on buying it even without test driving. bago humaba ang pila.

Sabi ng C! Magazine and Bangkok Post when the latter made a comparo road test between the Blazer, Fort and Monty; yes the Blazer is head and shoulders above its competition. Yun nga lang Bangkok Post said by a big margin sana from the Fort kung mas tahimik sana engine ng Blazer.

hehe kung ingay lang naman ... I think madaling maremedyuhan yan sir :-) sound proofing sa hood + engine wall.


I might be getting the M/T ... anyone who has an idea kung mabigat ang clutch ng mga Chevy vehicles?

Confirmed sa photobucket link a few pages back, may Hill Sart Assist at Hill Descent Control ang Trailblazer dito.

How can you tell sir? :-D


Ganda talaga!

The one with the circle are the buttons for the Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control. In the Colorado that area is just one of the storage areas pero maliit lang.

Did somebody on queue got their unit?

[albert_b]

eto ba yun sir? *Numbah5
Bakit parang blank knobs lang?

Yung nasa harap ng transmission selector lever yun. Dalawang buttons siya

Finally, I saw the actual unit, available just today.
So far EDSA Balintawak & Greenhills has one unit each,
(quezon ave, alabang don't have yet) the LT variant.

To those considering this SUV, start na tyo pumila
(in case you havn't yet) "macho gwapito" talaga

I saw this in person kanina sa Chevrolet Greenhills. Panalong panalo talaga. Longer and wider than the Fort and the Monty. Yun nga lang, only 2 full size adults can sit at the 3rd row seats because of this:

Pero I must say, seating at the 3rd row, while having a slightly better legroom than the Fort and the Monty, is more comfortable than its 2 primary competitors. Hindi kasi nakaangat ang mga tuhod mo, level siya like sitting at the 2nd row, driver and passenger seats.

For all its features, especially the 2.8L LTZ 4x4 A/T variant, the Trailblazer is a sure winner. Especially with its attractive price, and the 5 years warranty. If Chevrolet would make good on their promise to put a DVD/GPS HU on the Trailblazer, mas lalong mayayari ang Monty at Fort. Yung 2.5L LT 4x2 M/T is like the GLX-V Limited variant ng Monty, with rear fog lamps and without the steering audio controls.

Did you try for a test drive? how did it feel. Super like..

[numbah5]

Unfortunately, hindi pwede i-test drive yung Trailblazer. Display purposes lang yung nasa showroom. 2.5 LT 4x2 M/T yung nakadisplay, but I'm waiting for the 2.8 LTZ 4x4 A/T to be ready for client test drive.

But all those in Chevrolet Greenhills who test drove the Trailblazer last week in Canlubang, Laguna said that the ride comfort is much better than the Monty and Fort. Chevrolet brought a Monty GTV and Fortuner V during the test drive in order to do a comparo. The motoring press was also present in the said comparo.

[albert_b]

I'm interested to get the m/t LT. (di kasi afford yung LTZ) May nakapagtry na ba ng manual nito or maybe the closest thing to the Colorado? Baka kasi mangawit ako sa clutch kung sobrang bigat

[numbah5]

Sinubukan ko yung clutch kanina. Malalim pero magaan tapakan.

May lalabas daw na 4x2 A/T variant early next year. The engine that will be used? The 2.8L Duramax Diesel

So we're expecting a local review and comparo very soon.

[numbah5]

Yes, sa print media lalabas yun. Pero since nagpadala na ang C! Magazine at Top Gear Philippines ng writer-editors nila sa Thailand to test drive the Trailblazer, bka yung comparo na lang ang ilabas, but their existing review is sufficient. Maganda naman ang Trailblazer review ng 2 magazines na yun since road conditions here and in Thailand is very similar. Pati rin driving style parehas na parehas.

Kaya yung mga balak bumili ng Trailblazer dyan, pumila at magpareserve na kayo habang hindi pa nilalaunch. Malamang pag na launch na ang Trailblazer, mas hahaba ang pila.
