As we said last November when the new 2013 Chevrolet Trailblazer was show as a concept at the Dubai show, it's refreshing that a real SUV -- diesel engine, pickup-style construction -- still has a place in the world.  But the USA apparently isn't it, and GM, which made no mention of the USA in Dubai, had no change of heart as it unveiled the production version today ahead of the Bangkok Motor Show in Thailand.  2013 Chevy Trailblazer concept unveiled in Dubai  Sales begin there in June and expand around the globe -- your tax dollars at work -- but the USA apparently will be denied what Chevy has called its "toughest, most-refined midsize sport-utility vehicle."  The old U.S. Trailblazer departed after the 2009 model, replaced in the lineup by the more suburban mall-friendly, redesigned Equinox crossover. The Equinox, particularly with the four-banger, is also more federal CAFE rules-friendly, but then again, GM has also not offered us so far the new turbo-diesels that will motivate the new seven-seat Trailblazer. It has said a diesel Cruze sedan is on the way for 2013.  The new TrailBlazer shares the body-on-frame underpinnings and the capabilities, such as towing, of the good-looking new Chevrolet Colorado midsize pickup designed in Brazil. GM wasn't going to give the U.S. that truck, either, which has gone on sale in Thailand and is expanding worldwide.  But GM relented last fall, saying it would build and sell a version here at a still-not-announced future date to replace the current U.S. Colorado that's on its way out. So maybe there is hope for the new Trailbazer, too?  Here are more details on from Chevy on the SUV:
