Chevrolet Lambda crossover likely to launch as early as next year

Is anyone surprised that the TrailBlazer is still part of the Chevrolet line-up for this year? We are, as the car has dwindled quickly and most of its siblings have already departed. The Detroit News is reporting that the TrailBlazer will be canned by 2010 and a new crossover will replace the old-timer as early as next year.

The new Chevrolet crossover will sit on GM's successful Lambda platform which underpins the Saturn Outlook, GMC Acadia (pictured) and the Buick Enclave. All three of the crossovers are doing exceedingly well and Buick has had waiting lists on its Enclave, something that was hardly noticed in Buick dealerships for a long time. The crossovers accounted for 4% of GM's overall sales last month. Motor Authority is reporting that the new bow-tie crossover will be named the Traverse.

The new crossover will be assembled in GM's Spring Hill, Tennessee plant.
