So they updated the grill and some body lines of the Equinox and call it a Blazer now?

They actually did that around '09 after becoming Government Motors. Supposedly, they're now a lean and mean team of designers and engineers. Also bear in mind, they have to build quite a few shitboxes to meet EPA minimum MPG requirements if they're still going to build stuff like the Truck, Camaro, and Corvette lineups.

I don't know, it still looks better than the new Silverados. I actually waited to make my decision until I went to the Auto Show this year to decide on those two and thought the Ram was ok, but the Silverado didn't look any better in person, then there the phone exhaust tips bolted to the back bumper on some models of the Silverado

A lot of it has to do with the 'corporate identity' of styling.. You can tells it's a GM, dudge, 'Yota, ect... just by significant styling cues. I'm not a fan of the concept.

At least regarding the leaders, Toyota is the only truck that I've seen that is still not too horrendous... although their styling seems to be following the same trend. I still find current Taco's and 4Runners to be sorta sexy with the right wheel/ tire/ lift pkg. Luckily I'm not in the market for a full size PU or I'd be hard-pressed to find anything that I'd actually like seeing in the driveway day after day.

Meets the definition of WTH, or more precisely WTF:

"Meet Red Bull’s “Armored Moon Vehicle” Land Rover Defender
Rebodied 4x4 party rig bring the silly.
"

Seems this thing has been around since 2015, never heard of it before - it's an "event truck", whatever the hell that is...

That means it's a stereo/entertainment system on wheels.

So a Testarossa was drunk on too much hi-octane, got it on with a C4 and this was the love-child.
