There's the VW Atlas which is nice and I had a chance to see it in real life, but their recent reputation has me shying away from the brand.

Well it is a german brand and like most european brands they're not know for the most reliable or dependable vehicles, do some research for yourself and you'll see how skeptical someone can be to pull the trigger on one. But with how much more Audi-like these are, its a bit easier to take on that risk.Am I missing something? What happened to the brand?
Cars or any products are like tools in a tool box, German cars are great if you want some of the best luxurious and high tech vehicles the market has to offer, under warranty. Its something you can't have elsewhere, maybe with the British, but the Japanese and Americans still have a lot of catching up to do.^ Pretty much this is the reason why I stay away from German made cars and they had the whole dieselgate scandal last year so I'm not so trusting of them anymore.
Another small size competitor that may have popped up is the new Toyota FT-AC concept. Would be perfect if it was a bit bigger.

Out of the two Cherokee's out right now its going to be the Grand Cherokee is my expectations of the Blazer are right, unless its more of a regular Cherokee. Biggest question right now is how it would slot in the model line up. But definitely can't be as big as a Tahoe or Suburban.What about Jeep Cherokee? I thought it has always been one of the most serious rivals for Chevy Blazer, since its SJ model.

I think something sized like a Toyota 4Runner will be the best move for Chevy since thats a product that has long proven itself over the decades, selling consistently, its one of Toyota's strongest products around. Even back in the 90's it was common to see these compared along with the GMC Jimmy.The Chevy Blazer is probably going to be a bit more compact than the Grand Cherokee, or around the same size. Sitting higher and more compact seems to be the trend these days.
It will be the first of many that can be seen a cheaper AMG SUV or a cheaper BMW M SUV. If that's the angle that's being played here then i have a lot of hope. Starting in the mid $30k range, I can't see an RS model selling for more than $70k.If Ford does come out with an Edge RS, it won't really compete against the Chevy Blazer simply because they occupy different segments. One is more for utility and as far as I know, the RS badge is used for high performance track cars.
