Quick comparo of the previous gen X5 and current Trailblazer. I used photos of hte e53 seeing as that is which model you had. The TB gets put to shame by a 7 year old design. I have to be honest, I would rather have my X5 pulled by a wrecker everywhere I go than drive a Trailblazer. How can you stand to look at that interior? The exterior isn't much to look at either. By the way, the Trailblazer was rated as Average for overall crash worthiness while the e53 X5 was scored as good.
Yes, the TB is a faster accelerating vehicle, but does it brake and corner better than the X5? Does it have that "car-like" feel in the twisties? Is it as safe? I doubt it. It also gets worse gas mileage! I just dont get how the two can be compared at all.
