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.
