2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer SUV

Rising fuel costs have many Americans re-thinking their choice of automobile. No longer family budget-friendly, the typical full-size SUV's massive interior and huge cargo hold are not easily replaced, however. The mid-size TrailBlazer makes a good compromise between a full-size SUV and small economy wagon. It has lots of power, plenty of room, decent handling and, best of all, respectable fuel economy. The stretched version can seat seven and offers V8 power.
