GM Imagines a New, electric Blazer K5

•    A modern, electric version of the Chevy Blazer K5? Who could say no?

When Chevrolet brought the Blazer name back to the catalog a few years ago, many were offended to realize that the new model was not an inspired version of the Blazer of the time, launched in 1969.
