    Spying: Which Chevrolet Crossover is Under the Camo?

      A redesigned Traverse or a new crossover to slot between the Equinox and Traverse?

    Whenever a new set of spy shots come out, the photographer tends to have an idea of the vehicle in question. But that isn't the case with this set of spy shots.

    The vehicle in question is a Chevrolet Crossover that was driving nearby General Motors' headquarters. But no one can seem to agree if this is the next-generation Traverse or the rumored crossover that would sit between the Equinox and Traverse. Motor1 believes it's latter since it is about the same size and shape as the downsized GMC Acadia. This new model could be wearing the Blazer nameplate.

    No matter which model this turns out to be, we can be sure the front end will feature a similar design to the Equinox - large split grille and angular headlights. The taillights are long and horizontal, again taking a cue from the Equinox.

    This new model will use the C1XX platform that currently underpins the Cadillac XT5 and GMC Acadia. Power is expected to come from an updated 3.6L V6 paired with a nine-speed automatic.

    Cool, but are we really sure this is a Chevy and not a mule for some Buick or Cadillac?

    Yes. There are telltale signs that this is a Chevrolet (the grille that is similar to the Equinox for example).

    Buick already has enough crossovers and future Cadillac crossovers aren't due for a few more years

    Interesting as I honestly could not tell much from the pictures, so glad others can see details I missed.

    Thank you,

    Hmmm... could be Olds too...

     

    I am not seeing Chevrolet cues yet... clear lens taillamps?  WAY over.  And the grille doesn't vibe toward Chevy for me.

    Chevy needs more crossovers, they need something in between Equinox and Traverse.  Depending on how much the smaller the Equinox gets, they might be able to slot one between Trax and Equinox.  These crossovers sell like crazy, you have to have compact, small, medium, large, maybe more.  Look at how many Jeep has and they all keep selling no matter how many they introduce.

    Oy, another loved name from the past being slapped on a transverse engine, weak kneed version of its former self?  :(

    Would be so much better if the Blazer name returned on a 2-door, Colorado-based SUV.

    Look at what happened to the Explorer. The Acadia is basically what used to be the Envoy.

    What's better for enthusiasts sometimes just isn't in line with market realities. Most people drive their trucks (the ones solely for personal use) the same way they do cars the vast majority of time. They want the image, but better FE, and better driving dynamics, and a more compliant ride, and a vastly more space efficient utility.

    So automakers are giving people what they want. Most Jeeps are FWD based off of a platform used to make the Dodge Dart and 200.

      Reminds me of the mid 80's Monte Carlo Areo SS that I loved. Would love to have one as a project auto, but doubt I ever will as I would want it electrified. Moved into that next phase of life around grand kids. no time.

      As weird as it sounds, I'd love to have a '77-79 Impala 2dr or Caprice 2dr as a hobby car.  Straight 6 or 305 would be fine...I've just always liked that rear window and the overall shape.   I really need to get back out to the PNW for a vacation...been a long time since I've been out there.

      I wholeheartedly agree.  The '77 had the cleaner vertical bars with the stacked lamps as opposed to the '76's diamond hatch grill. Back then, there were a lot of options and not everything was put into strict and limited packages. It would have been nice to get the plush up-level interior, the gauge package, and a tilt wheel, yet not put on too many of the electric gizmos. On the exterior, those spirograph wheels are actually wheel covers, hence susceptible to sticky fingers. But they look mighty fine. Then, you'd need dual body colored sport mirrors to go with all that.  Pass on a vinyl roof. Now here's where I might be crazy.  I would just get the basic standard engine.  It was the 250 cubic inch inline 6 by Chevrolet.  Those have a 7 main bearing crank and they are in it for the long haul.  They purr differently than does a V8, but they were definitely smoother than the V6 (by Buick) of that day.  So that's a package that features the looks inside and out, but also has a simple and reliable DIY setup in the engine bay.  You'll just have to live with 105 horses.  People may honk at you! I'm glad you like this car.  Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on this forum who carries a big torch for the GM colonnades.  And that my detailed knowledge of them is nerdy! Happy hump day, folks.  It's also Whopper Wednesday.

      Costco has killer deal on new Dell 16" touchscreen laptop with 32gb ram and 1tB SSD coming up for the holidays.

      TPM 2.0 is grossly overrated imho. I see no reason to not stay on Windows 10 for a while longer and if MSFT does something to hinder 10, then I will probably install one of the Linux options.

      @A Horse With No Name @Robert Hall @oldshurst442 Agree, national scale, the country leadership is over due to the Russian Asset Puppet the Zombie Boomers put in office trying to live in the past. Locally, I love living in Washington State, Mild Winters, but 1-2 hrs to drive up and enjoy winter sports. Parks, trails, biking, so much to do and see, love it here. Not to mention the wine, beer and food scene here.
