Just checking out some pics posted over on GM Media. The Vectra as we know is the Chevrolet Vectra for Mexico. A few pics below, the first one I'll post is funny as it still features the Opel badge.

Anyone has an '06 Impala base with the 3.5L? How does the engine feel? I was wondering what if this engine was put into other cars, as so far only the Impala has it. And no, it's not the exact same 3500 in other cars. It has a different RPO code.

I need a Chevrolet dealer or someone else associated with the Impala ordering program to answer this question. I found an '06 Impala SS that I wanted to buy this weekend, during the zero percent financing program. It had the white exterior that I want, and the neutral leather interior with the woodgrain dash inserts, but it also had an ebony (black) dash top, steering column and steering wheel, and upper door panels. Shouldn't the neutral Impala SS interior have the slightly darker tan color on the upper dash, steering column and wheel, and tops of the door panels? I have never seen this ebony and neutral combo before; the LTZ and lower Impala models all have the …

I'm pretty sure the '07 TB SS will be a complete carryover, but I'm secretly hoping for the new 6L80 trans. Anyone have any thoughts?

Since the '07 Impala had no styling changes whatever from the'06, does anyone know what changes might be in store for the '08 model? Specifically: Any revisions at all to either the front end clip, or the trunk/taillight design? I could see that they might want to change the front end clip a bit, to make it more in synch with the bigger grille on the '08 Malibu. And I really wish they would so SOMETHING with the taillights; they are so non-descript so as to be almost indistinguishable from just about every new sedan (Accord, Five Hundred, Montego, G6. etc., etc.). SO..... Does anyone know what's up next for the '08 Impala???

I have no idea what colors the '09 Camaro will be offered in (besides the obvious silver, white, black, bright red), but I saw a color this morning that would be perfect--it's a modern yet retro apple green (don't know the Chevy name of the color) that I saw on a late model Avalanche. Beautiful color, IMHO that looks very much like something from the late '60s-early '70s..I think the Camaro would great in it..

Got this link through an Autoblog tweet... looks GREAT in white!!! Camaro 5 forums pics

Hi all - New here but trying to find out the background on my '67 Chevy Biscayne. Heard Chevy a few months ago Chevy had not yet cataloged all old VINs but wondering if anyone knows anything about this. Would love to know the actual build details on my car. Thanks much.

hey all...I recently, due to a blown engine, came to ownership of my first Chevy vehicle, owning Hondas previously; I obtained a 1981 Chevy Citation V6...from what I have read at some peoples Citation fan pages online, I found that this car can be converted to the X-11...wondering if anyone here can tell me what all I need to do, or where I can go to get information on doing this... -Wolfie

'76 Cheyenne. Up for auction Dec 13th, not far from me. Sure looks in nice shape from the pic. Claimed mileage: 10,320. I'll be there checking out a host of other 'one-man's-treasure's if anyone is interested in an in-person report.

I have been doing video editing for the last few years and a lot of the videos that I have done have to do with cars. My first video I ever did was a "Camaro Returns"-esque sort of thing which was originally posted on this site (I still get emails about it) and with the recent surge of attention that the new Camaro was getting, I have wanted to do another Camaro tribute video in a way that it would be like something you would see being played moments before the actual debut of the vehicle. I have been reading through the lists of song suggestions on camaroz28.com's "Intro Music" thread and I have a few ideas for a video using some of the songs list…

"SS" Won't Go On Just Anything Anymore General Motors Corp. is rethinking the way its uses the SS moniker that has adorned souped-up Chevrolets since 1961. SS -- for super sport -- has traditionally signaled performance versions of vehicles like the Camaro, Impala and most recently the Cobalt sedan. The automaker felt it was getting a bit carried away with the label after putting it on the most recent version of the Malibu midsize sedan. So now only cars with the best horsepower, braking power and handling will get the title. It's part of GM's bid to stoke sales by building exclusivity into some models, a move the automaker hopes will burnish the overall image of a …

Just wondering about the possibility of a Tahoe SS, I remember seeing the Tahoe SS at the '05 Chicago Auto Show. There was talk back then that there would be one but haven't heard anything in a while. If anyone has info, give details please...like if there would be a console shifter, different guages, hood scoop ???? ( ;

The lease is up on my wife's '06 Dodge Caravan SXT and we're looking for replacements. One vehicle we're NOT considering is the '08 Mopar minivans. The things are butt-ugly and they're even larger & heavier than the outgoing models. Yeah, the interiors are pretty nice and they've done some remarkable stuff with ride quality and sound insulation on the new models. But unfortunately, they're now big tubby tanks and have been supersized right up & out of our league. Saw an ad for price-leader "program cars" at a local Chevy dealership so we popped in to have a look. They let us have an '07 Malibu Maxx LT for the weekend to evaluate it. The car has 15,900 miles on i…

I just got home from the new york auto show. Now I have been infatuated by the Camaro Concept since I saw it but after actually seeing the car im awestruck. There really is a difference from seeing the pictures and seeing it in person. I asked for Scott Settlemire the girl said I just missed him and he would be there tomorrow. The girl who introduced the car was real informative and even made things interesting with some comments about the car. I was speaking to her after her presentation and I said I believed the car was already being worked on and she winked at me. I know everyone knows the car is a go, but I still like the hints she and other GM people dropped at the s…

I noticed quite a few links between the 2006 Impala and Bel Air concept thought I would share one of these with you. Dash shape and airbag cover Impala Bel Air

OK, I'm ready to take the plunge!! At my local Chevy dealer, I've found a gorgeous new Impala SS, loaded with everything, which stickers out at $30,665.00. Is anyone paying full sticker or close to it, for a new Impala SS now? How much of a discount can I reasonably expect? I have an 04 Impala LS to trade, in perfect condition, with 34K miles on it, fully paid for. Anyone have any thoughts??

The 2006 Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, and Avalanche are now involved with employee discounts

did we have a pre website update for the montecarlo? cause on the web site, there is no 3.9L option anymore... is that going to be something later when they can make enough of the afm version to put in it? did i miss something... or is chevy just not going to offer it for 07? did it not sell well at all ( the ltz option ) ?

When will the 07 Silverado and Sierra be debuted?

Why Does GM keep pushing the introduction of the 07 Silverado and Sierra Back. We first thought they would be at Chicago, then were led to believe they would be at New York, Now we are to assume they will be at the Texas State Fair in September. SEPTEMBER!!! What is up with that! All of the SUVS are out Why is GM waiting so long to debut the trucks?

I found this on autodeadline.com it says under the picture Country music duo Big & Rich get a sneak preview of the all-new 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, that will make its world debut on August 2, 2006. Big & Rich got a glimpse of the Silverado at a special Chevrolet event prior to the start of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Chevrolet is the official vehicle of Major League Baseball. (General Motors Photo/Lisa Kyle) (United States) From what you can see, it looks awesome in Blue!!!

I want to say that I have no 'rants' on the 07 - all Raves so far, but thought that this would be a great place to open a discussion for other members to learn about the new Tahoe/Yukon/Escalades. Help the General move some inventory with some facts that people are not learning in the current advertising ( which is dismal by the way ) Let me start by saying that we are having a snow storm here in Iowa this morning. So I got to drive the Tahoe on Ice this morning. It was unbelievable - even with the 20-inch wheels. The Stabilitrak really does everything to keep the truck pointed straight, the anti-locks work quietly and less obtrusively that the previous trucks and t…

I know the Z71 option will be come available later this year, will pictures surface anytime soon?

In a Chevy dealership I saw an Equinox with a different front end. Is that a new front end for ALL Equinoxes or just a special edition?

The new 08 Chevy website is up today. Check it out.

chevrolet.com Didn't see this posted anywhere. The LTZ taillights are an improvement, though I wish they had've gone in a different direction.

Hey everyone, I don't post here much, but surf quite often. I hadn't seen this posted, but if it's a re-post, sorry. Spy pics of 08 Malibu I think it looks pretty good, the higher belt line makes it look "high-class" and the two-tone interior looks amazing, except the brown steering wheel.

Is the 08 Malibu going to be released in the spring or fall leftlanenews.com made acomment about a spring release. If it is a spring release then I might wait otherwise would not wait. thanx stillen

Anyone think this cuold be in the works? Anyone think it shold be?? If the HHR gets the Turob 2.2 then I think the 4 dr Coblat should. Maybe an auto option too.

Looks like we'll be doing our part to help GM. We expect to take delivery New Years eve on an 09 Malibu 2LT. It's being brought in from another dealer as our local one (Jack Evans Chevy Cadillac) didn't have the color we wanted in stock. I commented to the sales rep that I really don't care for the alloy wheels which come standard on the 2LT V6 model. They remind me too much of the Impala SS wheels which, to me, look too truck-like. So any rate, on to my point of this post. The car which we're getting, apparently has optional wheels installed and I'm not certain from the description, which ones they are. It won't kill me (maybe) to wait until Wednesday but I'm cu…

Rare Pininfarina Corvette Heading for Barrett-Jackson Link to Original Article @ CorvetteBlogger We are about 100 days out from January's Barrett-Jackson's Collector Car auction in Scottsdale, Arizona and details are beginning to emerge about some of the "talent" that will be hitting the auction block. Corvettes are always well represented and that should remain the case despite plans to cut back the number of vehicles from around 1,200 to 1,000. One of the cars expected at January's event is this one-of-a-kind 1963 Rondine Corvette, a car that was hand-built by renowned Italian coach builder Pininfarina for the 1963 Paris Auto Show. Built on the newly introduced 196…

This is the first time I've heard of it...but I'm sure some of the other Camaro nuts around here have known about it. It was an '81 Z28 with a turbo 350, different front air dam, vinyl decals, and a few other things. One of the color options was turbo white, as shown here.

hey, just a question i'm sure half the board probably knows this...Is the RWD G body platforms ie 1985 monte ss a body on frame or unibody?

I have a 99 Blazer in pretty good shape, but lately it sounds like something is grinding in the back. It kind of sounds like brake pads, but it doens't make the noise when I press the brakes, it's almost all the time. It's getting worse. Is it possible the rear pads are just stuck or something? Also I thought the front were always the first to go. Thanks

Looks like it got a speedbump, from 140hp to 144hp. Or is it just the new testing scheme again?

Incredible!!!....the Lingenfelter Corvette C6, limited edition, to celebrate Lingenfelter's 25th anniversary. Available in coupe and convertible in black, red or yellow.

Our one year old 2005 Tahoe has had a broken liftgate handle for over a month now -- according to the local Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealer that I use for service on this car, apparently GM has been using a new, cheaper liftgate handle for the last year or so, and there are like 200 backorders around the country for this specific part. The car is still under warranty, so I'm not worried about any costs, but has anyone heard anything about this? It seems incredible to me that there would be so much trouble with such an item, as this part should not have changed since the 2000 model year... What's up here? On a sidenote, I just returned from a short family vacation in the m…

I must say the changes make it look much better, even if it's still not the most attractive car ever. The new interior colors are better I think, and the chrome rings around the radio controls are a good touch. I don't much care for the steering wheel however. Exterior pics: Interior:

December 7, 2005 First Drive: 2006 Corvette Coupe Z51 Review and photos by Michael La Fave Over the years I have had the opportunity to drive a lot of Corvettes. I even sort of own one: a 1987 coupe with the mid-level Bilstein performance suspension, oil and trans coolers, shorter final drive and every conceivable luxury feature. The point of telling you about the '87 is to simultaneously divulge what might be perceived as a bias and the desire to express my fondness of the marque. Some of my favourite 'Vettes (that I've driven) are: our two-tone '87, the 330-hp, six-speed manual 1996 Collector's Edition, the 2001 Corvette Z06 and a rare, custom-built Z06 conver…

Found some pics of the new Impala 9C1 being tested by a police dept in Indiana... looks pretty good.

Hey all, I am looking at buying a 2006 Malibu LS 4cyl with 11000 verified KMs on the clock, for $13000.......Good Buy?? The story is that the previous owner leased it from the dealer I am buying it from (who I do trust by the way) and then got a job in Europe taht she didn't think she was going to get. She had to move and the car got returned to the dealer and she paid the penalties (the new employer actually did). Thoughts?

Has anybody heard what the huge delay is with the 2006 Monte carlo? The Impala has been out for months now and everything except for the Lucerne has been introduced. I mean it's not like this car is all new!

I heard that silver ground effects was an option on the Monte Carlo SS but I have searched around and I can't find anything that says that you can order the bottom ground effects like the previous MC's I was wondering if someone could give me definate info on whether or not it is available and if they can find pics of a 06 SS with these ground effects..........

I thought just the regular models were going to get the new grill and the SS will be the same.. but then I saw the 2nd pic in, top row.. :blink: http://www.chevrolet.com/silverado/photogallery/ How ever I do love the Intimidator shot B) Though.. with that name on something other than a monte boggles my mind
