General Motors has unveiled its next-generation
Chevrolet TrailBlazer at the
Dubai International Motor Show. The model is set to go on sale around the world, though
Thailand will have the first crack at the vehicle in early 2012.
The 2013 TrailBlazer features seating for seven, and, since the SUV is based off of the new global
Chevrolet Colorado, it gets its power from a 2.8-liter
Duramax turbo-diesel engine.
GM stresses that the vehicle on display in the
Middle East is a show vehicle, but we're guessing that the final product will look pretty similar to what you see above.
The next-generation TrailBlazer will feature second-row seats with a 60/40 split, and both the second and third rows fold flat to reveal a sizable cargo area. With most SUVs abandoning their rugged roots for the softer ways of the crossover world, the new Trailblazer sound pretty good to us. Right now, there's no word on when the vehicle will show up in the U.S. or if it will come packing the same turbo-diesel engine when it arrives.
Hit the jump for the full press release as well as a quick video.

Chevrolet TrailBlazer convertible - Click above for high-res image gallery
We can't think of many convertibles that you could safely take off road or haul a trailer with (save the
Jeep Wrangler with its removable roof panels, of course), but in the seemingly endless world of possibilities that exists in the land of the aftermarket, anything -
anything - is possible. This, for example, is a fully stocked 2003
Chevrolet TrailBlazer, complete with four-wheel drive, a tow package and more cowl shake than your mother's
Toyota Solara. And the best part? It's for sale!
Apparently originally used in a Rose Bowl parade, this TrailBlazer convertible only has 29,500 miles and can be yours for $15,000 (or best offer). Aside from the obvious modification of removing the roof, the customizers have smoothed out the side body panels, removing the rather unattractive plastic cladding fitted to TrailBlazers of that era, and a new set of bling-tastic wheels have been added. The one big red flag, though, is that there's no folding convertible top, or even removable cover, but we're sure the aftermarket world could remedy that problem for a fee.
Have a look through the gallery below to see this one-off gem for yourself. Interested in buying? Click over to
