Your statement makes no sense. Chevy's revival of the Blazer name for a new model is hardly the same as a manufacturer re-entering a market that it abandoned many years ago.

“I personally would love to see a 4 door Jimmy or something similar in the US.”
May not be far from happening. That’s the point.
9th Aug 2023, 06:01
That’s the rumor at least. The Jimmy SUV was halted after the 2002 model year. There are various concept cars & even speculation from Car and Driver (https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28118146/gmc-jimmy-future-off-road-suv/) about it coming back anyday now. The Camaro was also halted after 2002 & came back years later, so it wouldn’t be unprecedented by GM.
Suzuki Jimnys can’t even be driven in the US, so it was pretty clearly a typo in the original comment. The Jimmy is the only SUV which could resurface.

Blazer was 2005. Jimmy was before that. Google, “What was the last year GMC made the Jimmy?” and you’ll get this:
“The Jimmy continued as a member of the GMC lineup until 1991, when the full-size Jimmy was replaced by the Yukon. A compact version continued to boast the Jimmy name until it was replaced by the Envoy in 2002.”
So, the final gen of the Jimmy appeared to be from 1992-2002. The Blazer did go through 2005 though.

I tried looking this up & got confused to be honest. There was a Yukon, an Envoy, a Jimmy, and the S15 Jimmy. Google actually doesn’t give good information. I remember seeing GMC Jimmys back in the day & can say for sure they made them after 2002, but the specifics I legitimately can’t find sources on.
12th Aug 2023, 20:30
This is all because 16:48 misread "Jimny" as "Jimmy". They are two completely different vehicles.
13th Aug 2023, 00:51
The reason you "can't find sources on" is because there aren't any. Despite what you may think, the only GMC Jimmy made after 2001 is the overpriced aftermarket thing currently available from a company in Arkansas. The Jimmy was replaced by the Envoy (a name previously used for the top line model of the Jimmy) for 2002.
13th Aug 2023, 05:22
Look further and you’ll find the Jimmy was discontinued in 2005 as well. The model had a production run from ‘91 to 2005.
14th Aug 2023, 19:04
100% correct! Disconnected in 2005 along with the Blazer, why would General Motors NOT discontinue them both at the same time when they were virtually identical vehicles outside of the badges.
14th Aug 2023, 19:36
Two people here are saying the Jimmy was not made from 2002-2005, but you are saying it is. Are you able to provide some proof for your claim?
14th Aug 2023, 22:11
Would not make any sense to talk about a Jimny in the US. The comment was clearly a typo. If you disagree, show us where we can purchase a Jimny from a Suzuki dealer in the US. I’ll wait.
15th Aug 2023, 17:54
2 people? Honestly, it's not that hard for the same carsurvey troll to post different comments at different times from different IP addresses posing as different commenters.

Agreed, same goes for the Chevy S-10 & GMC Sonoma pick ups. Both went out in 2004.
16th Aug 2023, 16:50
Could have saw a pictures on Cardomain before that site was decommissioned a while back.
16th Aug 2023, 17:43
This conversation is about the Jimmy, not the S-10 Blazer per your link. The distinction was even made above that the Blazer was 2005 but Jimmy was prior.
16th Aug 2023, 17:45
OK, do me a favor and look up 13th Aug 2023, 00:51 and compare to other comments who said the Jimmy wasn’t made until 2005. Once you confirm for yourself it isn’t the same person, let me know. You are the only person here saying something that everyone else is not saying.
16th Aug 2023, 19:30
If you need to refer to CarDomain to “prove” your 2005 Jimmy or 2008 S-10 exist, that says it all.
16th Aug 2023, 19:51
And you are the voice of experience talking... here, there, and in multiple comments elsewhere.
17th Aug 2023, 16:12
This is such a throwback of the 2003 S-10 review on here where the argument of the final model year went around in circles until the thread got disabled.
18th Aug 2023, 18:24
Right. Main issue there was it seemed to be hard for people to understand the S-10 pickup and S-10 Blazer are two separate vehicles.
18th Aug 2023, 18:51
Scroll down further and you'll see the picture of the 2005 despite the fact that 1:18 provided multiple YouTube links where post 2002 Jimmy models are for sale. You're asking for a ladder but taking a shovel and digging yourself deeper and deeper.
18th Aug 2023, 21:21
Here you go again claiming that the S10 pickup was built after its final year of 2004.
19th Aug 2023, 04:11
Oh darn, you're really on to me now. Exactly I'm here, there, in multiple comments talking and replying to comments where you try to prove a non existent model year vehicle and the hilarious links to go with it. Only this time it's trying to be proved that a vehicle's production year went out 3 model years before it did.
19th Aug 2023, 17:17
Nobody made such a claim. Whether Cardomain would have had a 2008 or not is a fair question though. We will never know.
19th Aug 2023, 21:17
Per quick Google search, type in the words "GMC Jimmy last year made" and you will get this in the 1st sentence:
"The GMC Jimmy is an SUV produced by GMC from 1991 to 2005"
Therefore your source must be some sort of Google error. So you can continue to feel free and believe that 2002 was the final year, but all the other sources this past week listed by obvious different commentors, and a few actual reviews prior to that for models after 2002 on this site alone prove you are wrong.
20th Aug 2023, 14:18
My favorite was the 88 Chrysler 5th Avenue thread when they tried to convince everybody that the Buick Lucerne existed before 2006. In the end I'm sure this thread will be locked too, seems like that's their goal every time.
20th Aug 2023, 21:35
Gentlemen, the thread will likely be locked if it goes nowhere or dissolves into name calling. So lets not let it get to that.
I like this site, it is better than a lot of car review sites out there, you will find much more outrageous reviews and claims about cars elsewhere not just here.
Only problems on here I see that trigger arguments are as follows;
1. Someone posts a review with incorrect information/stats about a car (performance, abilities, etc)
2. Lack of detail in the faults section or arguments about what is an actual fault vs wear and tear in regards to a cars age/mileage.
3. Rental reviews commenting about reliability.
4. Reviews that are too short and/or especially overly positive or negative.
But I think most car buyers are astute enough to separate the good reviews from the bad, so no need to argue about any of the above. I'm sure the site even says something like "minor inconsistencies in reviews are not worth starting arguments about"
But I do get that in this particular case it does just seem to be a bit of back and forth about the years a car was built so unless we can get this confirmed from a factual link from so someone, it is going nowhere...
4th Aug 2023, 16:48
The Chevy Blazer came back, so it is certainly possible the Jimmy comes back, too.
