Chevrolet

Hey guys I was checking my email this morning before heading up to work and I ran across this article on Yahoo about a guy in Wisconsin with a 1991 Chevy pick up that, as of Friday rolled over 1,000,000 miles. All I have to say about it is.....Chevy, the most dependable, longest lasting trucks on the road... Like A Rock!

Chevrolet Speed -- a Car GM Should Build The Chevy Speed is a mid-engined, RWD, 2-seat sports coupe built on the aluminum monocoque μ (“Myu”) Platform. The vehicle features scissor doors and a very low slung styling with wheels pushed out to the extreme corners. Power comes from a turbocharged 3-cylinder engine developed from the High Feature V6 family. Combined with a low curb weight of 2,500 lbs and a highway fuel economy rating of 42 mpg, the Speed is marketed as a trendy, agile sports car for the New Generation. Standard Features ($22,950) • Power Locks / Windows / Mirrors / Remote Entry • Halogen Projector Headlights with Amber Fog Lights • ABS Brakes / Stabilit…

Note the SS emblem in the grille. Also the front bumper is the expected final version. Yes th Sunroof cars lose the Concpets two hump design.

Traditionally GM has started production of a product on it's last model year early when they are redoing it. Is this true for the Uplander? At the beginning they said it would only be around for 3 years. Can we all be so lucky?

L92 based 6.2L perhaps? Would be a nice placement between the LS7 Vette and the LS2. Do we know anything about the RPO codes the next round of engines will have? Sticking with the LS tag or something else?

umm there is a rather attractive rendering, of a Chevy Kappa floating around. accompanied by text attributed to motor trend. It is supposedly to be named after a member of the shark family. And be equiped with the either the 3.9 or 3.6

The new issue of Motor Trend has an illustration and an article about a possible V6 powered Chevrolet Kappa sports car, called... Stingray. OK, it wasn't too many months ago that I was harping for the same thing, right here on C&G (except for the V6 part). Check it out if you get a chance!

Outrageous C6 Corvette to be Shown at SEMA ...[T]he Outrageous C6 lives up to its name by adding a Pro Charger supercharger and Corsa exhaust that kick the car's power output up to 650 hp, as well as 5,600 watts of Sony sound gear, a Le Mans wing and Lambo doors. The overall result is... interesting, and certainly outrageous. We could envision any number of NFL superstars proudly piloting this Vette to the stadium on any given Sunday, and it will surely fit in with the type of cars we expect to encounter at the SEMA show in a couple weeks. Read "Outrageous C6 Corvette set for SEMA debut" @ Autoblog

Images of this Tahoe-based prototype are a rarity, but I found it interesting. Why wasn't the current Tahoe given a mid-cycle refresh along the lines of this prototype?

Oh, how cute The Aveo Spring Edition will include: 5-door LT in Maui Blue Power Sunroof Foglamps 6 disc CD changer/MP3 Six speaker sound system Satin chromed A/C control cover Limited release 15-inch wheels All for only $995 option That's the best Spring Edition deal going.

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

Check out the short Video on Badboyvettes.com. The ZR-1 passes a car doing around 150 KPH with a video camera like a F-22 in super cruise going past a Piper Cub. If you stop the video you can confirm it was a ZR-1 but other wise it is a black blur going by with a loud American roar.

Just made an inventory of some Camaro items that I have in my collection, including the actual Chevy dealer laminated display for the 2002 model year that chronicles Camaro's "hiatus". There is also some dealer guides from the 1993 Gen4 change over and a ton of brochures and a dealer poster. Just wanted to share.

GM @ South Florida Auto Show 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Turbo You may say ‘non-descript,’ but I prefer ‘low-key.’ Definitely a sleeper.

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

I have a question about the previous gen Malibu. Was it a Gm pairing with Toyota that shared a platform? And if so which one and which was the Malibu based off of. Im having a debate with somone on another forum and I need a quick answer lol.

The current Chevrolet Equinox is nearing the end of its lifecycle and we have been wondering when we'll be seeing any information about it. Thanks to a spy photographer, we have some photos to show what Chevrolet has in store. The most apparent thing we can tell the photos is the new model is smaller than the outgoing model. This confirms a report back from January that Chevrolet will be moving the Equinox downmarket to compete better with compact crossovers. We can't you much about the exterior thanks to excellent camouflage job done by GM. Car and Driver says the Equinox will use GM's Delta architecture and possibly feature the same suspension setup as the Buick…

I came out of the grocery store tonight and lo and behold, a brand new yellow Z06. I swear, the feeling, it was like having sex for the first time again. All polished, yellow contrasted against the darkness of night. MY OH MY that rear end looks good! I complimented the passenger who was getting in. "NICE car,!" I said......the reply was, "It's FAST! VERY fast...." Ah, the day I became a man........

GM @ NYIAS 2008 Chevrolet HHR Panel Wraps NEW YORK – What better way to illustrate the uses for the new Chevrolet HHR Panel than with the vehicles themselves? Chevy is doing exactly that at the New York Auto Show with two eye-popping wraps – one for business, the other for pleasure. A delivery vehicle that looks like a bouquet on wheels shows how the HHR Panel can deliver the goods without draining the gas tank. A personal-use Panel, “Skull From Hell,” was designed by student Jim McCammon of Detroit ’s Center for Creative Studies. A creative alliance between Chevrolet and Detroit's College for Creative Studies gave CCS students real-life experience in the competitiv…

You know how there was a question of whether or not we'd ever see the Chevy Beat for sale in North America? The answer to that question is looking more like a big fat yes. Of course, a subcompact like the Beat makes perfect sense in a landscape where gas is selling for well over $4 a gallon in many areas. Our quasi-confirmation comes not from El Generalissimo, however, but from the set of Transformers 2, which was recently given its tagline: Revenge of the Fallen. In the photo above, next to Bumblebee, is the Chevy Beat -- partially covered, but the Beat nonetheless. You know what putting it in the movie does, right? It makes people want it. Last summer, it was the Camaro…

Yesterday on my way home from work, I work 3rds by the way at the Tech center. I passed an 07 Tahoe that was already smashed! It looked like to me somebody had hit something over the holiday weekend(maybe a deer?). The driver side of the vehicle was a mess! The complete headlight assembly was missing and the fender was torn open like a can, the grille was hanging somewhat but was still on the vehicle. Oops! I hope somebody didn't lose their job over this.

Last year at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet teamed up with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) to produce the Colorado ZR2 AEV concept. This truck was fully kitted out for overlanding duties with a revamped suspension, new bumpers and skid plates, a snorkel, Warn winch, bed rack, and an air compressor. It seems Chevrolet is planning to make this into a production model. Off-Road.com learned from a Chevrolet dealer that GM at their annual dealer meeting showed off a model called the Colorado ZR2 Bison. “The AEV truck they revealed looked nearly identical to the concept vehicle with some minor differences,” the unnamed dealer said in email. The differences are most…

I am interested to know if the Volt design had been the Cruze, would you consider it more interesting, or functional, or desirable than the Cruze? I am not at all bringing the hybrid into the question. If the Cruze had arrived with the Volt's styling (with obviously more interior space returned because of no battery) would the Cruze seemed more attractive? I have to admit. On styling alone and with the hatchback, the Volt as a Cruze would have actually been the game changing small car for Chevy that is still the jury that will be out on the Cruze. Please vote (volt) for your favorite.....

I suddenly thought of this idea, like a "real life show" form of an ad. OK, first grab a Cobalt, COMPLETELY camoflauge the fact that it's a Chevy, i.e. like the spy vehicles, use like the vinyl wraps on the front grille, rear end, strip the badges from the steering wheel, use generic wheel covers at Tire Rack or Canadian Tire. Next, in the streets, stop people with Corollas and Civics. Particularly look for people who make negative comments about American cars, particularly. Do a brief interview with them, and record their phrases like: I LOVE my Corolla, it's like the best car you can get... blah blah blah.... Then, challenge them to test drive the s…

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…

well, i must admit....i was dissapointed when my wife said she wanted to turn the Trailblazer in on a HHR. she recently found out she was going to be transfered which will result in a 90 mile / day commute. i already have a 88 mile commute in the opposite direction. the TB got about 18mpg combined....that wasnt gonna cut it. i am 25 and we have a 7 week old and wasting $$ on gas at this times just doesnt seem wise. i get roughly 25 mpg in my MAXima.... when my wife wanted a HHR i sorta scoffed. my father in law works for GM and we do get the employee discount, so that of course would be nice, but a HHR? well.........i love it. i have been looking for a G35, TL, L…

Did anyone else see it? There is a Tundra parked on the side of the road. A guy driving a Silverado pulls up and asks the owner if he needs a ride. Now, for a split second I was expecting and hoping that the reason for the Tundra being on the side of the road was a snapped camshaft. While it was disappointing that this was not the case, it was also AWESOME that the reason was the Tundra RAN OUT OF GAS. The commercial then went on to illustrate the same regarding the Ford F-150. FINALLY. This is the kind of advertising GM needs. Tell people why GM's trucks are better than Toyota's.

From a cop buddy- NJ just ordered 2 (IIRC) SS Camaros for pursuit duty. As if the blacked-out local Chargers weren't enough to watch out for.... now one of the coolest cars of recent memory has the ability to strike a new type of fear into motorists. Jersey State Troopers are bona fide bad ass (in a good way), and these back that up to the hilt.

I saw both today and I gotta admit, what a transformation! Its not sexy, but the sport interior in black, with chrome bits, the new front end, the ground effects and spoilers and especially the exhaust tips REALLY LOOK NICE. too bad the wheels look horribly cheap. Why wasn't this car here two years ago? Or for me, 4 months ago? I might actually take one of these over a Fusion. Alas, still only pushrods under the hood and only a 4 speed auto. YEESH. With the 3.6vvt or the upcoming 260hp turbo ecotec this car would be so sahwet for me. Especially with a 5 or 6 speed manual or manumatic. AND BETTER WHEELS. One was blue and one was black i think and both had …

Any one that wants to see the Volt it will be at the Lordstown plant car show on the June 30. It is open to the public. I hope that this is a way to hint that Lordstown maybe getting the Volt.

The problem with the previous spy shots of the mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette was you couldn't really tell what it was. The shots showed a blurry mule on GM's test track. For all we knew, it could have been bigfoot terrorizing GM employees. But finally, we have gotten the first clear and detailed shots of the mid-engine Corvette. It is clear this mule is mid-engined because of the proportions - short front and long rear end. There also appears to be some bits from the C7 such as the taillights. Other details are hidden by the heavy camouflage. Details on the mid-engine Corvette are very sketchy. As we have reported previously, the mid-engine Corvette could be sh…

Enjoy!

Camaro Enthusiasts to GM: "Hurry the f*** up!" This probably isn't news per se but as reported by Edmunds, GM is being swamped with e-mails from fans clamoring for the Camaro to be brought to showrooms as soon as possible.

GM's new Chevy Malibu will be scarcer in rental fleets Sharon Terlep | Link to Original Article @ The Detroit News WARREN -- General Motors Corp. said that it will cut by half the number of Chevy Malibu sedans it sells to daily rental car fleets with the madeover 2008 model. The Malibu had been GM's most fleeted car but going forward the company intends that only 20 percent of its production output will be sold to rental car companies, compared to 40 percent of current Malibus. Those that are sold as rentals will feature amenities such as sunroofs and more luxurious interiors. Over the last couple of years, the Detroit Three have been trying to withdraw from sales t…

New spy photos show a heavily camouflaged Holden Ute breaking cover down under. The car shows many of the tell tale signs of being based off of the new Zeta platform, including a similar proportions to the aforementioned Holden Commodore and large wheel arches. The overhauled Ute will come in time for Holden to boost its position against import 4×4 SUV's which are becoming increasingly popular in Australia. A new El Camino? Recently, there has been a great deal of speculation about the new Ute coming to America badged as a Chevrolet El Camino.

Dan Neil of the L.A. Times drives the Chevy Aveo and gives it a surprisingly positive review. An excerpt: That said, there's something quite agreeable about the Aveo. It's comfortable, solidly constructed, and surprisingly eager to please. The little dual-cam motor will happily pull its guts out to get up to speed. The ride quality is reasonably composed for a short-wheelbase (97.6 inches) commuter car, and the interior noise levels more than respectable. The exterior paint quality and panel gap consistency are excellent. And, let me just say, hand-cranked windows? What a clever idea. The biggest surprise in the Aveo is the interior's quality. The subject of a major p…

Linkity General Motors Death Watch 232 Chevrolet Corvette Must Die A mainstream carmaker has no business building niche products. Literally. For one thing, they're hardly ever profitable. For another, even when they are, their profits are relatively insignificant. And most importantly, "halo cars" are four-wheeled glass and steel versions of Dumbo's magic feather. They lead manufacturers to mistake cause with effect: if we build this, we must be good. In fact, any automaker that focuses its creative, financial and corporate resources on a halo car risks forgetting how to do what it did to get those resources in the first place—and an eventual plummet…

Prototype of the Volt gets tryout The Chevrolet Volt concept has hit the road -- in Massachusetts, at least By Justin Hyde | July 15, 2007 | Link to Original Article @ Detroit Free Press David Vieau, the chief executive of battery maker A123 Systems, said during a congressional hearing Thursday that the company's employees recently had driven the Volt, General Motors Corp.'s attempt to regain an environmental mantle.

GM has said the Volt could arrive in dealerships within the next fiv…

GM sees "showdown" with Toyota on electric car Thu Nov 15, 2007 9:09 AM GMT | By Kevin Krolicki | Link to Original Article @ Reuters LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - General Motors is on track to road test its Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid early next year and to produce the rechargeable car by late 2010, setting the stage for a "showdown" with Toyota, a senior GM executive said on Wednesday. As the race to bring a mass-market, rechargeable electric vehicle to market heats up, Bob Lutz, GM's head of global product development, said the largest U.S. automaker remained on track to launch the Chevy Volt in November 2010.

Spy Shots: Mysterious Chevy small car spied testing Spy shots of a mysterious Chevy small car prototype have surfaced on the web today and everyone seem confused as to what it might be. The five-door hatchback spied undergoing winter testing could be the next-generation Chevy Aveo, though looks very little like the next-gen Chevy Lova – the Chinese version of the Aveo – that we saw in spy shots taken last September. The interior of the prototype, as well, is a big departure from any we've seen in other Chevy small cars, especially the main gauge pod that appears to house a tachometer with a digital display that extends off to the right and likely works as a speedomet…

As the 2007 VUE Green Line sets to make its appearance as GM's first true hybrid offering work is being done on the hybrid Equinox. Naturally one would assume that since they are on the same platform, architecture, etc that they would share the same hybrid drivetrain. From what I've been hearing, the Equinox will feature a different hybrid system than the Vue. The Vue uses the "two-mode" hybrid system that at stop lights the batteries take over while the engine is shut down. Could a "true" hyrid be in store for the Equinox complete with batteries and greater fuel efficency? Only time will tell.

After being very underwhelmed with the details of the regular Malibu and Maxx I looked at an SS (it was Silverstone) for the first time last night and can say I was VERY impressed. 10 times better than the craptacular GM PR shots. The Chevrolet SS wheels have really grown on me and they look especially good on the Maxx (The added weight of the wagon-esque profile complements the weighty look of the wheels very well) The "SS" badge on the side is placed correctly instead of awkwardly in never-never land like on the Impala and some of the first Cobalts. And the new nose looks excellent with it's more agressive grille material and bright accents, I also think…

Found it intersting that the GM Canada web site has a section all about the Nomad. Also, they have a questionaire about possible car buyers, when they are going to buy and what cars they are considering. It has a multiple choice format (you can't type in your choice). One of the choices preset is the Nomad!

Just saw pictures of an HHR Panel van (no side rear window) from a study GM did and since its made it to us, I'm 95% sure it'll make it into production. I was never too keen on the original HHR, but this panel van look damn cool. Sorry, can’t take pics.
