GM suggesting a V8 is not really a desirable option considering they can't seem to produce any V8's that don't go BANG! lol

No thanks for me!

The bang is a desirable and necessary function for an internal combustion engine.

That 2 door AI mock up looks really nice. Never been a GM guy, but if they toss in a V8 with a m/t, I might be in.

The 5.3 is a solid engine from what I have heard.

Well, it's got to be better than what they did to the Blazer

I actually like how those new Blazers look. Shouldn't have the Blazer name on it though.

By the time the GMC is available, my Bronco will be V8 swapped

I have a coworker that has a Blazer and it kinda makes me laugh everytime I see it parked next to my Bronco. They should’ve called it a TraverseX or something.

I'd defect for a manual V8...

I don’t see any Retro in the proposed design. Looking at the single color model looks more like a G6 Bronco / BRaptor than the older GMC. The new proposed design looks a lot better than the original Jimmy model. Also interesting they use a color very similar to popular Shelter Green.

I personally thought the early Jimmy / Blazer were a poor design, and I spent several years as a GM Tech.

Brought the photos forward, easier to find than the links

Reminds me of the late 80's models from the front. Like a Bronco knockoff from the back.

Meh.

I never expected GM to bring back the Bronco II

The hood has a bit of Squarebody to it, although with an inverted center channel rather than a flat top ridge. The rest is forgettable.

My '77 manual K5 isn't impressed.

These aren't proposed designs by GM.

I'll just be making popcorn for the inevitable, collective disappointment when GM gets a mule going and some vague design language leaks... and then drops it altogether?

I was thinking the same thing lol.

These are Motortrend renderings, no real bearing on anything GM might have planned. And quite honestly, looks like they didn't have any real effort put into them either, uninspired would be the kindest I could say.

This would be just another fixed roof SUV in these renderings, there's not a removable roof and doors on that thing. This is just a slightly smaller Yukon, but, again this is from a magazine talking, not a manufacturer
