GM Is Schizophrenic

First the Volt will be under $30 grand.  Then it will be mid thirties.  Then over $40k.  Then all of a sudden it will be  back under forty grand.  Now, Ed Whitacre ( GM’s CEO-of-the-month ) says that not only will the 2011 Volt come to market in the low $30k range, but it will [...]

2011 Chevy Volt may cost less than $40,000

Finally some good news on the Chevy Volt front.  For months it seemed, anytime someone from GM would mention the Volt, the target price went up.  Originally, the target price was under $30,000, but eventually it ended up north of $40k.  Quite a sticker price for a compact electric Chevy, no matter how cool it [...]

2011 Chevy Aveo Spy Shot

Just one image, and this one is a hatch. There will be both 5 door hatchback and 4 door sedan versions of the 2011 Aveo, just like with the current version. That said, there’s still a chance that this car won’t be called the Aveo at all, but rather, the Viva. I’ve never been a [...]

Silverado takes F-150 Best Selling Crown

For as long as I can remember, the Ford F-150 has been the best selling vehicle in America. Twenty three years in a row, as a matter of fact. ‘Mericans sure love their Ford pickups, there’s no doubt about it. The Chevy Silverado usually falls in second or third. However, when you combine the GMC [...]

Chevy Malibu Hybrid Ends Production

Good game, Malibu Hybrid.  In stark contrast to the excellent new Malibu, the Malibu Hybrid was a poorly conceived, poorly performing, and overpriced car.  Managing a feeble 2 MPG more than the vanilla Malibu, and costing several thousand dollars more, this vehicle never made sense.
I have never recommended this car to anyone – and now [...]

2010 Chevy Equinox expects a 32 MPG rating

Though the verdict isn’t *officially* in yet, GM is expecting a huge number from the 2010 Equinox.  32 MPG is the expected highway rating, up from the 30 mpg previously expected.  That’s an insanely huge number for a CUV type vehicle – especially when you consider the competition:

Honda CR-V: 27 MPG highway
Toyota RAV4: 28 [...]

Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

There hasn’t been a Corvette Grand Sport since the limited edition 1996 run – but it’s back, baby.  The Grand Sport package will replace the Z51 package, with some new upgrade goodies. 
Horsepower will remain the same at 430 / 436 ( with the optional exhaust ) – but it’s not as though power [...]

Fritz OK with losing money on Chevy Volt

It’s never been a secret that the Chevy Volt project would not be profitable, at least in the first generation.  The R&D costs are massive, and the technology is quite expensive for now.  That being said, the assumption was always that the second generation would finally see a profit, due to costs coming down.  [...]

Configure your 2010 Camaro Now

That’s right, as of right now, you can configure your own Camaro online, using Chevy’s fancy flash site.  Mine ended up at a cool $48,985.  Had to get the automatic for the wifey – she’s not too keen on learning the handshaker.  Either way, 426 HP will make me forget about the automatic in [...]

Chevy Stingray Concept – 2009 Chicago

Fairly old news, but somehow this one flew in under my radar.  Meet the Chevrolet Stingray Concept car – which debuted back at the 2009 Chicago auto show.  It’s a concept only for now, but it incorporates classic Corvette design – including a throwback split rear window, as well modern-day Camaro influence.  I’d wager [...]
