Update on 2012 Chevy Volt price cut

You see that? It’s my face turning bright red. See, I was quite wrong about the reason behind the 2012 Chevy Volt price drop. I had originally figured the reason was due to cheaper component prices / manufacturing efficiency. Turns out, I didn’t do my homework. Chevy actually cut quite a bit of standard equipment [...]

Would-be Volt buyers who decided to wait for a bit are about to be rewarded. The 2012 Chevy Volt will start at “just” $39,995. That’s down just over $1k from $41,000 for the 2011.

The 2012 Camaro ZL1 is… breathtaking. Not in an obvious sense – the visual differences are actually pretty subtle. But once [...]

Crash Test: Old vs New

Ever wonder how a fifty year old Chevy Malibu would fare in a crash test? Conventional wisdom might give the nod to the classic. After all, it’s huge, all metal, and heavy. In comparison, the 2009 Malibu is part of the plastic fantastic generation. As it turns out, we’ve learned just a bit about making [...]

Say goodbye to the Aveo – the latest Chevy subcompact will be known as the Sonic. The 2012 Sonic was officially announced today at the Detroit Auto Show. My first impression is pretty positive – this is a much better *looking* car than the Aveo. Both sedan and hatchback forms look better than the outgoing [...]
