I went to Chevy's revitup event in Irvine, CA today and went through quite a few cars... 2008 Malibu LTZ - I couldn't drive it as it was a pre-production model. That meant the trunklid didn't fit properly and some of the interior trim pieces were kinda falling apart. But I took that into consideration and tried to form an overall impression anyway. Styling - I love it... I think it's one of the best-looking family sedans out there. It's very Germanic in appearance, a lot like the VW Phaeton/Bentley Flying Spur, and the details are amazing. The front grille is wonderful, the one-piece chrome window trim is impressive, the hood cutline is interesting, the paint looks lu…

2008 Chevrolet Classic Chevrolet Classic leads 1st half of year with 57.7% share of economy sedan market Since its initial launch in 1995, the Chevrolet Classic has been making enormous strides in the Brazilian market. In the first half of 2007 (Jan-Jun) alone, GM of Brazil reports 43,673 regestrations of the Classic, a growth of 37.0% compared to the first half of last year when only 31,877 units were sold. The 2008 line of Classic is already available at Chevrolet retailers nationwide. The Classic has led with record sales in the month of June with 7,996 units sold, representing a 57.7% share of the Brazilian economy sedan market. “The success of the Classic is ev…

Suburban Longterm Update(autoweek) The best part is if you scroll down to the update on the Lexus ls 460 Lexus LS 460L The door panels are starting to creak while accelerating or braking; we thought Lexus’ flagship would stay tighter longer than 13,000 miles. It’s still smooth as silk otherwise. So much for all those Master Craftsmen

Ive seen a couple computer generated pics and it looks very similar to Jetstream blue and Opel Arden blue , but those computr images dont represent the colors well at all . I was wondering if anyone has seen this color in person or pics of it ? Hopefully wised up and gave the US eye popping Opel Arden blue with a new name .

Has anybody here done a thoughtful head to head look between the PT and the HHR? Or has it been discussed in the past somewhere? Also, out of curiousity, what are the key selling points of the HHR Vs. PT? (Maybe CARBIZ could share some of his sales stories if he reads this.) In my mind the largest advantadge to the HHR is that the Ecotech is that much more "Advanced" than the Chryselr mill. Does anybody know if Chrysler plans to discontinue the PT anytime soon? Seems like it is still a cash cow for them. Chris

Belated Blowout Chevy offers incentives on '06 models By RICK KRANZ | Link to Original Article @ AutoWeek | Updated: 06/25/07, 9:23 am et DETROIT -- Chevrolet's 0 percent interest program to sell 10,000-plus new 2006 models sitting on lots nationwide strikes some Chevy dealers as being way overdue. The program, which began June 15 and expires Wednesday, June 27, offers 0 percent financing for up to 60 months on 2006s, including 404 Corvettes and the last 16 SSR hot rod pickups. As an alternative, rebates of up to $7,000 are available on some models. "It's great," said one Chevrolet dealer who has more than 20 2006 vehicles in stock. "I'm as happy as a lark, but wh…

Throwing Gears in a 505-hp Z06-Powered Chevy Camaro By Joe Oldham, Contributor Link to Original Article @ Edmunds This 1999 Chevrolet Z28 Camaro is no ordinary used car. It's a freaking street monster; a snarling, mean mother of a street racer that will chew you up and spit you out if you have the temerity to challenge it at a stoplight. It's powered by a GM Performance Parts (GMPP) LS7 crate motor packing 505 (or more) horsepower, the same engine you'll find under the hood of a Z06 Corvette. In fact, GM Performance Parts built this car because it wants the world to know that the all-aluminum small-block V8 is for sale at any GM dealer's parts counter (or even online)…

Jeff Mann's '57 Chevy runs a blown Hemi under its hood, and lots of unexpected details We've entered the era of the Stepford Chevys. Once upon a time, 1957 Chevys were nasty street racers driven by the socially maladjusted and feared by the decent citizenry. But those days are long gone. Today '57 Chevys are driven to the nostalgia diner by grandfathers in "Foose Design" T-shirts. You've seen the guy's ride. It's the monochrome red 1957 Chevy Bel Air with the 502 big-block crate engine parked next to five others just like it over by the D.A.R.E. car. Jeff Mann's '57 Chevy is a heretic in this Church Of Conventional Wisdom — Chevy Synod. There's not a single GM compon…

Behind the Wheel of the Bumblebee 2009 Camaro We knew what we had to do. Get the first photo ever of a 2009 Camaro doing a burnout — or at least a car that's a dead ringer for the 2009 Camaro doing a burnout. So there we were last July near the set of Transformers, cruising along the roads surrounding an old aircraft hangar in Playa Vista, California. We were driving "Bumblebee," the Camaro that's the star of this summer's sure-to-be-blockbuster, looking for the perfect place to blaze the hides off its rear tires. It's amazing that we even got permission. "A burnout?" one Paramount Pictures publicity person asked us. "What's that?" Driving a Transformer After lot…

We rented an '07 Cobalt Coupe in Denver last weekend. Overall, it was a solid little car, and even after lots of flogging up and down mountainous roads, we averaged over 30 mpg...EXCELLENT! If there were any detractors, it would be the hard interior plastics and the wheezy-whiny mechanical noises from the engine. Of course, we're accustomed to driving cars in a different class - in our garage is a new Subaru Legacy and new Honda Civic. Also, for comparison notes, I recently rented an '07 PT Cruiser (handled almost a good as my Civic!!) and an '07 Jetta (supple, fast, but with weird engine noises). My final take: the Cobalt is an attractive, easy driver.

General Motors to build new Chevy crossover in Tennessee, not Michigan Sharon Terlep | Link to Original Article @ The Detroit News Artist Conception by Northstar General Motors Corp. won't add a third shift to its Delta Township plant near Lansing, where the automaker builds a new trio of seven- and eight-passenger crossover sport utility vehicles. GM had been considering adding work at the Delta plant when it adds a fourth crossover to its lineup for the Chevrolet brand. Instead, the factory in Spring Hill, Tenn. will build the Chevy, expected sometime in the 2009 model year. A GM spokesperson said it's not yet clear how many jobs the decision could affect.

Mr. Lensman, If Cobalt SS Turbo is supposed to bow in 2008, have there been any mule spottings for it, just like the HHR SS? Because we have not seen ANY of its spy pictures.

I was driving home today from Des Moines to go to some high school graduations and stopped in Stuart to get something to eat. Parked at the McDonald's was this Celebrity Eurosport coupe in pristine shape...I don't think I've ever seen one of these cars without some sort of fatal rust holes in the door. Either this was formerly a grandma car or the owner is just gave it a lot of TLC, but it's something you don't see very often...a Celebrity that actually looks good!

I'm considering buying an '07 Impala SS, but have a question about the 5.3 V8's active fuel management (aka DOD). Has anyone ever had a problem with this system? If it were to somehow get stuck in 4 cylinder mode, would the car still be driveable, or would I be stranded? Thanks.

Ahh let the photos do the talking... I know it has been posted and someone said it was in the Camaro design studio/zeta one. They were right here is my final attempt to prove it. I wouldn't be the Volt either, although looks similar. A FWD Hybrid would not be a in RWD V8 Studio in Warren MI would it? I think we just caught our first look at what could be the next Impala. Or as I say busted!

Is Chevrolet going to bring out a RWD Monte on the same platform as the Camaro or the Imapala? Chris

I would ask this in the Camaro thread but I had visions of being crucified upside down, naked on my front lawn with a yellow Caddy or a 59 Buick quietly driving away behind me. I really don't care if it has a B-pillar. The 69 Mach 1, (MY opinion best looking Muscle car along with 70 Boss 302) did not have roll down rear windows and as such kind of had a permanant B-pillar. Also, my 66 Mustang was a fastback which when you think about it kind of makes it a HUGE B pillar (or Huge C-pillar if you prefer.) I do care about... When is this car coming out? Do we know? What V-6 will it have? Will the V-6 be available with a 5 speed? What H.P. are we talking about w…

It was just anounced that Roush for the first time will start to offer some aftermarket parts like tuners for GM truck. Can we see this as a look into the future?

Either way We sell Roush products at work and they have some real quality items, not inexpensive but great quality. I see Roush products only being a big plus for Chevy and GM owners and I hope this leads to bigger and better things. Roush has always done a lot of work for GM but kept it quite. In the last year that has changed and we are seeing his company doing this for GM and not hiding it like the GX…

WHATS UP Y'ALL! WHATS THE WORD ON THE STREET? 9-3 SAAB GETS AWD SOON HOW ABOUT A MABILU SS WITH A 3.6L AND AWD OR EVEN SAY A....................G6 PERHAPS??????? (DISCUSS.........)

My mother once rented one, and backed it into who knows what, and the corner of the rear bumper dimpled in completely. Absolute concave. This is a thing I'm used to seeing on about 40% of 97-01 Camrys. It makes your car look and feel really cheap and tinny. What would prompt a carmaker to not fill in the entire bumper end to end to fix the problem? I saw a lesser model yesterday with the similar problem, and I fear the upcoming day my parents' brand new LTZ suffers that silliness.

Almost forgot about this model, until just browsing some Chevy dealer inventory and saw a few of them: http://www.countrychevrolet.com/Chevy/70248_1.html http://www.countrychevrolet.com/Chevy/77741_1.html Interesting, and could be a fun cargo van alternative for people who want something small.
