35KYTD is not very good for a mainstream brand new model. Sales usually do not improve after the first sales year. This vehicle was made for world markets that don’t have the past Blazer nameplate baggage. I am sure China outsells the US 2:1 and worldwide its 3 or 4:1. Whatever, the Blazer to me is pretty a pretty crappy effort. Further disappointing that the the building of the vehicle was farmed out to Mexico. But if it appeals to you, and if you like it, that’s all good.

As for sales, it’s only been fully inventoried and in full production for a few months, give it time.

I will, however, give the Blazer credit for one thing (see, folks...I'm not totally-biased LOL) . It comes with the N/A 3.6L V6 and 9-speed automatic as an option....the Explorer makes you choose between a turbo-4 and a drag-strip twin-turbo V6, and the Corsair comes with only two turbo 4s.
I have the same 3.6L and 9-speed in my Lacrosse, and love it....except for an occasional mid-range shift-hiccup, the powertrain runs and shifts smooth as butter, particularly when warmed up, and, though I'm not an aggressive driver, has enough power to easily get out of its own way.

A cross over to replace a car, I definitely see the appeal.
If it were built upon the midsize truck foundation, I think the name would be proper.

If you mean cheaper, sure. I rented an Equinox; I would not buy that car at any price. I can't think of a single compact crossover that isn't better than the Equinox.

Jeep Compass?
(I'd also say the Fiat 500X and Ford EcoSport, but, technically, they are subcompacts, not compacts).

The Compass is dramatically improved actually.
