Poll: Will 2019 Blazer Production In Mexico Prevent You From Buying One?

It has been more than a decade since the GM discontinued the last-generation Chevrolet Blazer back in 2005. At that time, the SUV was being produced in manufacturing plants in Ohio, New Jersey, and Michigan – all of which have since closed down. The second coming of the Chevrolet Blazer also comes with a bit of a shock: not only will the SUV now be a unibody crossover (rather than a body-on-frame SUV), but it will also be built in Mexico. Controversy over the 2019 Blazer production in Mexico has already begun, long before the first model has even hit dealer lots.

When the decision was announced, a GM spokesperson explained that the 2019 Blazer production in Mexico was a result of the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee – which builds two other crossovers on the GM C1 platform – the Cadillac XT5 and GMC Acadia – already running at full capacity across three shifts.

Shortly after GM’s announcement of 2019 Blazer production plants in Mexico, UAW vice president Terry Dittes vocalized the union’s sentiment on the matter:

“This news that the iconic Blazer nameplate will be built in Mexico is disappointing to UAW families and communities across this country,” said Dittes. “This is happening while UAW-GM workers here in the U.S are laid off and unemployed. We in the UAW have always supported products manufactured and produced in the U.S. and will continue to do so as a part of the fabric of our union.”

General Motors is not alone in building vehicles in Mexico, as several other major automakers have manufacturing plants in the country that build cars and trucks for the United States. All of this comes as the Trump administration recently completed renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with both Mexico and Canada, now called the United States – Mexico – Canada Agreement (USMCA).

The Chevrolet Blazer was last sold in the United States 14 years ago. The resurrected nameplate will debut in U.S. dealerships in early 2019 as a midsize crossover SUV, with the Ford Edge, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Honda Passport being its primary competitors.

  1. Most people won’t care. Most people can’t afford the luxury of voting with their wallet when it comes to a necessity like a vehicle. Same reason most of us buy cheap Malaysian garments instead of expensive ones from LA.

    While the rich get richer off of trade wars, the rest of us have to make do with what we can afford, regardless of country of origin.

    1. Anyone else notice how there are several posters (same IP address for some odd reason…hmmm) that write the exact same “Most people don’t care if it is made in Mexico…”?

      Well, actually they DO CARE if you look at the poll results above that clearly shows a MAJORITY that won’t buy one because of it being made in Mexico and not the U.S. where it would support local jobs and communities.

      Reminds me of the fake news media that tells you what to think and what “people are thinking”…The same people that said Trump would never be elected…We all know how that turned out, don’t we?

      1. So you think the comments are loaded but the poll isn’t? Get real lol, when people are forced to put their money where their mouth is, the vast majority buy based on perceived value. If that wasn’t true then the Japanese car makers wouldn’t be a thing in the US.

        1. Japanese car makers like Toyota and Honda are INCREASING their investments in the U.S. Obviously they see potential and can make money BUILDING CARS IN THE U.S. so what is

          That is the problem, GM has too many excuses and now it is catching up with them via dropping profit and sales, and poor car design. The Japanese are still thriving much like the Germans who are also INCREASING vehicle production in the U.S.. (and making a profit)! Some people are too dumb to see this, but then again the same people probably voted for Hillary and we know how that turned out.

I think the Hillary poster was just trying to explain that everyone was told Trump had no chance of winning the presidency and Hillary was automatically going. What facts? None, just bias propaganda. Meaning, don’t believe the fake news and yappers because many times they are just spewing propaganda and trying to control the narrative. There is a thing called the Silent Majority for a reason. Not everyone likes to talk and talk.

              As for your claim of only providing a logical comment, there were no facts or stats to support your assertions. And you are not taking into account that people across the globe are rebelling against globalism and want to focus on building their communities. Seen France lately?

              GMA Poll results so far: Clear MAJORITY don’t want to buy a vehicle made in Mexico.

The success of Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, etc etc etc say otherwise. Until only the past 15 years or so (when they started opening US factories), those manufacturers imported cars and whipped GM and Ford in sales…to the point that they don’t even make cars anymore.

Communities that were destroyed which were once thriving…Communities that lost restaurants and other service suppliers, many mom and pop shops…Neighbors who lost jobs and a reason to live (the psychological aspects of losing a job are great) all so GM can make a quick buck on the backs of slave labor in other countries…

      The poll clearly proves you are a wrong and people DO care about where it is made.

    3. Looks like we have a clear winner in the GMA poll on whether it makes a difference if the vehicle is made in Mexico. Clearly IT IS with over 64% of respondents saying they would not buy the Chevy Blazer due to GM thinking Mexico and not the U.S.

      I for one will be considering the Made in the U.S. Ford Bronco and Lincoln Aviator. Ford has figured out how to make great vehicles in the U.S. profitably. GM just keeps on making bad decisions.

  2. Doesn’t matter that much to me. I rather see it built here, but other brands and makes don’t appeal to me. However I won’t be in the market for one anytime soon as I just bought a New Terrain that is also made in Mexico. I don’t think it matters that much to most people. I bet most people buying the Buick Envision has no idea its made and built in China.

    People are going to buy on what they like and see not as much on where its made. Everyday items do make a difference like tools and household items, there is a big quality difference there. However with the automobile world you have to accept that the vehicle you like might not be made where you want it to be made. Does that stop you from buying? Some it will some it won’t , you still are helping the American company which does have American workers.

    Reply
    1. The poll proves you are not in the majority as a clear 60%+ so far disagree with you. Even with GMA’s desperate attempts to sell this vehicle showing many photos of the ultra-premier/ expensive fully loaded red version of the vehicle. lol Obviously they do not have much confidence in the regular models attracting anyone. Heck, don’t think they have much confidence in this this selling at all since they have tried so hard like a used car saleswoman to hard-sell it with endless stories on it.

      Sorry, I am more interested in the upcoming Made in the U.S.A. Ford Bronco and Lincoln Aviator. Much nicer designs and, yes, supporting American production and communities IS important for me especially after GM slashed so many jobs before the holidays.

      1. Most people won’t care and the poll here is useless because most people here are GM Fans. If the Ford Bronco looks anything like the pictures is dead in a year. The new Explorer looks horrible too. The Blazer has them all beat in looks. Majority of the people don’t buy these to go off road or care if they can. Those that buy Jeeps are posers and will get rid of it once they see how bad it is to ride in it. If the Blazer is a success you might see it also made in the US.

  4. My wife and I are in the market for a new vehicle and she is specifically interested in the new Blazer. I don’t know if we’ll buy a Blazer, but she is definitely very interested.

    Although, as someone else said, I’d prefer they were built here, in the grand scheme, I don’t really care. I just want a quality vehicle that I like, that I can afford and is fun to drive. Heck, my pride and joy, a Pontiac G8 GT, was built in Australia. Why would I care if my next care was built in Mexico? What is the difference?

      The fact that you don’t buy American (G8? hahahaahah) proves you are not in the majority of Americans who now want their vehicles to be produced, providing jobs, technical know-how, research and development, and tax money to fund communities…Not China or Mexico. Facts are facts.

      1. Shame on me for replying to an obvious troll, but you’re the one that said “facts are facts”.

        Fact: Not the first time I’ve ever posted here. I actually have posted on well over two dozen GM Authority stories since 2012. That’s not a lot, you say? That would be correct. That would be because I only post when I have something valuable to say and feel I can contribute something to the conversation. Unlike others, I don’t have a proliferation of posts doing nothing more that pushing vileness and divisiveness.

        Fact: Yes, I do actually believe what I wrote because everything I said in my post is 100% true. My wife and I ARE in a market for a new vehicle. She IS extremely interested in the new Blazer. I WOULD prefer that it be built in the US, but I’m not going to let that it’s not stop me from considering it. I DO value quality, affordability and fun in the vehicles that I purchase and own. I do own a G8 and a love it very much.

        Fact: You don’t have the first idea of who I am and what I believe and what I value.

        Opinion: Your world must be a really dark and depressing place if you feel the need to spew your vileness (political or otherwise) on a car website. I would say that I pity you and your circumstances because you seem incapable of having a reasoned discussion without resorting to meaningless and hurtful rhetoric. But, then again, I don’t know you. I have no idea who you are. All I know is what you post. And that’s not a good look.

        Opinion: You’ll probably reply to this post with more of the same ugliness. But I won’t know because I won’t be checking back on this post. I’ve already broken my rule to not feed the trolls. I won’t do it again.

Unions destroy company motivation, innovation, and cause more harm than good. You make a mistake, take responsibility for it. You shouldn’t need a union to represent you. Negotiating wages, nah. You want the job, you agree to terms and conditions set at the offer of employment, and be grateful if given ANY quarterly bonus or annual wage increase.

      Personally I can’t wait to see the new Blazer, chitchat with the salesperson and take it on a nice long test drive. Then I’ll explain to him/her why I will not be purchasing the made in Mexico Blazer. Hopefully it will go to the sales manager, regional manager, president of sales and Marry Barra. Now if can only get 200,000 of us to do the same thing.

  18. You can’t compare this with buying cheap clothes vs made in America clothing. The Blazer’s direct, American made competition (Edge, Explorer, maybe even the Highlander) is in the same price class, so the buy it cuz it’s cheap logic doesn’t apply. If there is little price difference, I always choose to buy Made in USA (even though parts come from various places)!

    However, I have no issues with the Mexican workforce and build quality, just like to stick up for the home team as much as possible. Given the choice between Mexico and China, I’d go with Mexico without hesitation – if you can’t stick up for yourself, at least help your neighbor.

I personally would’ve wanted GM to make an aggressive retro looking blazer on the Tahoe / Suburban platform that had a removable top.

  26. I’m not buying one because it’s nothing special. My criteria for a massive purchase that I have to live with for years isn’t where it was made, it’s is this a good product? Do I like it? Will I be happy with it for years to come?

    We currently have 2 vehicles. One was built in the states and one was built in Germany. The one from Germany is quite a bit better built than the other despite it being 7 model years older.

    I won’t buy a product because of where it’s made, I will buy it because it is the best suited for my needs/wants. Currently GM doesn’t have much that meets my criteria.

    GM/the government doesn’t owe anyone jobs. They’re a business. The are here to make money via selling cars. If they can make more money on a car made in Mexico, its the same reason Trumps MAGA hats are made in China.

  31. Makes me SO GLAD I bought a 2018 Acadia Denali instead. Made in TN.

    People who say they don’t have a choice are wrong. They can choose an Acadia and spend anywhere from $27,000 to about $45,000 (actual transaction price).

    Anyone who chooses the Blazer does so because they like the Blazer better and that is more important to them than helping put food on their neighbor’s dinner table.

    And that’s fine I suppose, most of our country buys things based on how it makes them feel. I get that. I’ve done it too. I usually buy one of the few models of New Balance shoes that are still Made in America, but last time I liked the looks of a pair of Under Armours, and ended up supporting the Chinese economy.

    Just don’t say you didn’t have a choice. Be honest with yourself.

I would prefer it was built in the states, but it’s not enough to stop me from buying it as it’s was still engineered and developed in the US, probably has a significant amount of US made parts and sub-assemblies and final assembly is only about 10% of the cost of the total vehicle anyway.

    BUT, I would be happier if it was built here, or even Canada for that matter.

Well this has turned into quite a frenzy, just wait until all the GM & Ford plants start to shut down next year and bring down all the local economy then we will see why buying “Made In USA” is so important. If it wasn’t for the big 3 during WW2 & after bringing in the middle class & benefits we would have never survived the last 75 years as we have. I was looking to purchase a GMC Terrain but when it went to Mexico…NO, NO.

  37. I work in a GM plant and cant believe that they have chosen to manufacture the Blazer in a foreign country. With all the subsidies offer from the US Govt alone should make the decision to build here. The plants that are closing could easily retrofit to produce it, also have the workforce to do it, and also the plant I work in has the chassis footprint to add it to our line with no problem. The proof happened last week when we produced ten vehicles. General Motors needs to stop importing bring the work back to where the company started.

    1. GM is killing their brand image as each day goes by. They are going the way of Holden in Australia. Sad.
      Build in America, Marry should resign in shame.

  38. I’m shopping for a new vehicle right now………I’m not a troll………..just a 72 year old American, Veteran of two wars………
    Guys and girls……….. we no longer have any loyalty to this Country. There’s no loyalty among buyers and no loyalty among companies………..
    I like to buy American………….America has been good to me………….but it keeps getting more and more difficult.
    No, I won’t buy a new overpriced BLAZER from Mexico. And keep in mind the Equinox and Terrain come from the same Country!
    Go to a Toyota Dealership and kneel…………
    So goes the news!

  39. Peoples lives and families are being affected because the rich want to fatten their already fat pockets. If you want to build it Mexico. Go sell it in mexico. And tell the CEO with the $22 million salary she can go there too. I will never buy a Chevy car again. This is pathetic how greedy the already supreme wealthy are.

  40. Mexico manufacture doesn’t seem to be stopping anyone from buying an Audi Q5…

  41. I for one will never at any price buy any new vehicle that bares a GM moniker. And I urge anyone else to take the same stance. I have no problem with foreign automakers I’ve actually owned many. I cannot even put into words how disgusting it is to use US tax dollars to get ” bailed out” and then bite the hand that fed you.

  42. Same reason I won’t/can’t buy a hatchback Cruze. I would love to have one but only if made in Lordstown. I’ll have to get a few more miles out of my Vibe I guess.

  44. The Blazer is on my list but yes I am hesitant about the Mexico build. I really wanted an Equinox but GM in all it’s yuppie glory decided not to put a V6 into the Equinox and I refuse to drive a 4 cylinder!

  49. These cars are way overpriced. So at the current price level you can’t build in the the us?
    How many do you plan to sell in Mexico vs the US. You took the US tax payer bail out money.
    Maybe it would make since to favor US plants
    Unless of course you think Mexico has your back.
