Anyone seen these syles driving around?

Now if they put the Duramax in them...

That 2 door tahoe looks pretty sweet, I could just picture it now with 35's. I think that second one is a concept.

I know the one on the bottom is the new K5 Blazer they're planning on releasing. Personally, I would love to have the top one, like a full size Blazer. Only having the S-10 Blazer and 2 door Tahoes, leaves a hole in the marketplace for those who liked the old full size Blazers. I think they dropped that line in 95. Mid size doesn't do too much for this full size guy-

I saw the top one before the 99's came out. That was a concept they were playing with back then.

I wonder what they do with all the concepts after they're done with them?

They both look pretty cool... Too bad that most concepts dont get produced.. I think GM could narrow there huge line up of cars/trucks and then they could put some into production..

I saw recently a TV show that was gi en access to GM's concept facility. Every concept made by GM is housed under high security (if I remember right) in a huge facility where the concept cars are wrapped and stored on huge shelves. Car guys toy store on steroids!!!!!!!!!

GM would do well to produce the full size Blazer again. The market has a huge gap in this area. I too would like to see the Duramax option.

Actually, guys, the K5 concept (the bottom one) is supposed to be the next gen fullsize Blazer. They just haven't shown it too often with the hardtop in place -- they wanted to focus on it being removable since that's what a lot of people did with the old K5's.

As far as the white one is concerned, I may be wrong, but I believe it is in production already -- on the foreign market, particularly Mexico and South America, much like the crew cab S-10 has been for years.

If you look at the top pic of the modern K5, Ford also has a concept for a new bronco, whic is essentially an excursion with two doors. Aside from the different styling, the two are almost the same.

The build the white one for sale and use in Mexico currently....

The red one is a concept, that alot of hope to get built.....

Concepts do make it to reality, as we all know the Avalance and Aztec are proof of that ....

pacodiablo · October 5, 2001

i hope they build a k5, the white one is really cool. if gm made a new k5 that would spawn a new bronco (ive seen some awsome drawings of a super duty based bronco concept)

I like the Mexico Blazer (or what ever it's called)

Haven't seen one but wish Chevy would bring to the states. I miss my 2-door Tahoe.

Stepside Z · October 6, 2001

From the information I have gathered on the K5 it looks like it will have the 6.0. I am getting the feeling that GM will produce this truck, most likely in 03 or 04.

It does look pretty cool. I think it isn't able to pass DOT requirements, so that is why we don't see them here. I don't know anymore how well a two door vehicle will sell in the country. Even with pickups we are seeing a shift away from two doors, it'll be a tough go for it.
