Who needs an expensive AWD with uncomfy 18 inch wheels (and little rubber), when there is a more comfy two-wheel-drive for 300k less, with great 17 inch wheels.

Where there's a dilemma there's Solution I say!
Take a good look of the five seater Holden Captiva in Australia & there lies the solution for the 2012 Captiva downsize it. Make it have a fresher interior and lower the price to compete head on with the likes of Thais favorite Honda CRV and we shall see who comes out on Top, If Chevy ain't afraid of bringing it on and playing with the Big Boys from Japan.
And for the ride of the new Trail Blazer, have a switch 2 rides function the 1. Switch for a smooth & comfortable ride as close as to the Captiva as it can get and 2 mode for more sturdier semi off road ground to plough through.
