How many shades of yellow are there? The sheer size and sleek lines of the 2014 Chevy Spark 2LT lend themselves well to the color - Lemonade! Let's post some of the more interesting shades of yellow over the years, waddya say?

I am happy to report the winner of the pickup award in Car and Drivers 5 Best Trucks is the Silverado. Oh and yes it DID BEAT the Tundra! *So much for the four speed automatic!* Wahoo!

Hoping insiders can give me a bit of clarification. The current GMT201 MiniVans were supposed to be replaced by GMT962 about 2009. With all of GM's cancellations and delays I have heard GMT962 got replaced by GMT511. Can the insiders confirm or deny this and if its alive has it been delayed (to when?) Is it still going to be on the Lambda platform? Thanks

If GM is looking for public response on this car, then lets give it to them. I want at LEAST 20 pages of replies from you guys telling GM how quickly they need to produce this baby. LET 'EM KNOW HERE!

I don't know about everyone else, but I haven't been able to get a good idea on just how small these cars are yet. I just got off the phone with AH-HA and others who are on the show floor. They say the cars are B segment sized. In other words, they are Mini Cooper, Toyota Yaris, Chevy Aveo, Honda Fit sized. Maybe these pics with people around the cars will help:

Sorry I couldn't get a shot of the whole car, but under all those horrible disgusting modifications is an 06 Impala.

This is exactly what GM needs to start doing - ala Scion and PT, making special editions. The HHR Spring Edition will have: Special Victory Red paint Silver decal Two-tone Ebony/Grey seats Body colored running boards Foglamps and a host of options [attachment=91:attachment] Production will begin early 06 and will be limited to 2300 units.

William Maley Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com April 24, 2012 Some new spy shots of the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups have hit the internets today and we can gleam some new information about them. The Silverado/Sierra appears to be going towards a more upright and boxy look than the previous model. The front end looks to be more evolutionary than revolutionary, continuing with the large, square headlights and wide grille. Also, it appears the Silverado will continue on with the center bar running across the grille. As for powertrains, the next generation Silverado and Sierra are expected to be the first vehicles to be equipped with GM…

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.

Now that we have seen the hatch, anybody want to guess when the sedan will drop? I'll be interested to see the front end on this one. Not sure the nose will work on the sedan....

I took some flack when the volt was first shown for suggesting the prototype wasn't fully functional. Well now we can see the advanced technology for ourselves: http://sirymarketing.blogspot.com/2007/03/more-on-volt.html I'm not suggesting that there should be more under the hood at this point, but it seems some thought that there was.

Some hints to timing from a dealer: Will not be badged “Classic”. Maintain a five month supply of V6s going into the 2007 CY – The Silverado Classic with the V6 will build- out mid- Dec ‘06 – The all new 900 V6 Silverado will not begin production until late April ’07 – Five months of Silverado production without V6s • Order manual transmissions early – A limited quantity of manual transmissions are already produced for the Classic model run – When they’re gone... they’re gone • Order Classic Crew Cabs early – The Classic Crew Cab builds out August ’06 – The all new 900 Crew Cab begins production October ’06 – There are only 3 consensus cycles f…

I am seeing tons of shiny white Uplanders at US Post Offices, and in many other places of business. So, some questions. Are fleet buyers getting them instead of full sized vans? Is the USPS getting them since they can run E85? Will the Uplander maybe continue past 2008, since there are very few affordable vans for fleet buyers? EDIT: I re-read the AutoWeek article which says 'into 2009', so look for more at your local PO. The white Uplanders have replaced the boxy UPS looking trucks in many PO districts. And seen a few contractors/utilities with them instead of full sized vans. Big question is, did Ford/GM make a big error thinking minivans with sliding doors are…

Back in the spring, we reported that Chevrolet and American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) would taking the Colorado ZR2 AEV concept shown at SEMA last November into production. It would be named Bison. Today, Chevrolet and AEV have unveiled the production Bison. Beginning with a base ZR2, the Bison swaps the front grille, adds a tougher front bumper with integrated winch, a rear bumper with recovery hook-ups, and a set of 17 x 8-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac off-road tires. Underneath, AEV designed five skid plates made out of Boron steel to protect various mechanical bits. The snorkel seen in the photos is available as an option. “As this…

GM Tech Center - Camaro Rally -- Aug 10th....... Many of you have talked about gathering your Camaros (and Firebirds) in front of the GM Tech Center to send a message to GM that you want to see the Camaro Concept make it to production. Classic Chevy International and World Wide Camaro are having a show at the GM Tech Center in Warren, Michigan from Thursday, August 10th to Saturday, the 12th. This is the perfect time to gather and let GM know your feelings. Plan to be at the GM Tech Center on Thursday morning, the 10th at 10:30. You will enter thru the Van Dyke entrance -- and proceed to the “Amphitheater” -- we’ll have signs leading you there. (see directions bel…

A Focus group is being formed and they will meet in May. 12 people were picked from a enthusiast web site and will help with feedback on option packages and other items on the new car. They will also be taken to the Milford proving grounds so this shows we have some Camaro's prototypes in country so our Detroit phone photog's might want to keep an eye out for any odd cars what could be a rebodied Camaro. I have someone I know that is one of the 12 and is a great informed Camaro fan. So this group is not a lot of people that really have no clue so you can rest easy that the fee back will be from pople that really car and understand. It would have been fun to have …

Here are the company's 2 web sites: Camaro Australia and American Vehicle Sales Except for a few options, there's no price mentioned, but you can guarantee that one of their RHD Camaros will not be inexpensive. My personal guess is that it will be between 2 and 3 times the price of a new Camaro in the US.

Here's a quick run down on the process they go through to convert a vehicle to RHD

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.

I'm setting here watching the CNN this morning and they have a small segment on NAIAS. They start talking about the Camaro and show video of it while on the bottom of the screen in big letters reads "CHRYSTLER INTRODUCES CONCEPT CAMARO".... If this is how accurate they are, I wonder how true most of the news is from them????

Chevrolet is hard at work on a new three-row crossover that will sit in between the Equinox and Traverse according to Automotive News. Speaking with people familiar with the matter, the new crossover will use the short-wheelbase version of the next Chevrolet Traverse's platform. To make room for this model, the Equinox will shrink down and move to a platform that underpins the Chevrolet Cruze. This move follows the footsteps of other automakers that are expanding to offer four different crossover sizes - ranging from subcompact to full-size. Now the new Chevrolet crossover will not be the only GM vehicle to use the short-wheelbase Traverse's platform. The upcoming…

Overall, they liked it, but the tone of the review was way too negative. They really had very little to complain about and even liked the 4-speed, but of course they make the review less pleasing to read by adding in a bunch of needless crap (and sometimes false, needless crap). Here's how the review starts for example: "First, the bad news: GM is releasing its newest pickup truck, the Silverado, into one of the most hotly contested segments around -- at a time when full-size-vehicle-bashing is fast becoming a new sport. Additionally, Toyota (whose market share continues to grow) is on the verge of releasing its first crack at this lucrative full-size pickup-truck mar…

William Maley Staff Writer - CheersandGears.com September 24, 2012 Sometime this month in Las Vegas, GM executives showed Chevrolet dealers the next-generation Silverado. Dealers who saw the new Silverado say the design is evolutionary. "It's not a major change for an all-new model, but it'll be much bolder looking and have a lot more features," says Tom Durant, owner of Classic Chevrolet in Grape-vine, Texas. The next-gen Silverado will be about three to four inches taller than the current model and have a brawny look. Extended-cab models will get rear-doors. Dealers say this move will help sales of extended-cab models. Crew-cab models will see an increase in rear…

However ... ," he said to laughter from the audience, "it is very important for Corvette to be the most powerful, most capable, bes…

That's the nice thing about being buds with a salesman LOL! Drove a TB SS a couple weeks ago and now the new Tahoe. It was a White 4X4 LT1 model (17" wheels) with black leather interior. The 17" wheel design isn't the greatest in my mind but looked ok I guess. Exterior looked nice as usual. Could see a little warping at the bottom part of the rear bumper plastic. Front end is pretty low due to the spoiler. Interior had it's ups and downs, Although I looked over 2 LTZ Hoe's at NAIAS I can't remember the differences enough to compare between those and the LT1. Interior overall looks a lot nicer than the GMT800's, nice tight gaps, nice buttons. Upper portion of door panel …

The Chevrolet SSR ends production on March 17th of 2006. Very little demand. Too bad.

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 don't know about all of you, but i KNOW that if they can build a whole line-up of great cars, why can't they build EVERY car that good? The Malibu SS, Cobalt SS, Monte Carlo SS and Impala SS are great, but why cant the base Cobalt or Monte be just as good as it's brotheren? That is my question. It's not a matter of can they do it (b/c it obvious that they can!) but why they don't do it! …

I posted the following photoshop rendering on the old C&G and recieved surprisingly positive feedback in doing so. My idea was simple. Instead of applying a mildly revised '06 Impala front-end and slightly reworked rear to the current Monte Carlo, I suggested that Chevy simply replace the model altogether with a coupe variant of the Impala. The Monte Carlo name would be dropped in favor of 'Impala Coupe' badging. Styling aside, the current MC is little more than an Impala coupe anyway. In essence, the resulting model would not only be a more attractive car from a styling standpoint, but further damage to the Monte Carlo moniker would be limited until a more s…

It is a good time if you happen to be interested in off-road pickups. The Ford F-150 Raptor, Ram Power Wagon, and Toyota's TRD Pro lineup offer their unique take. Soon, the 2018 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 will have its own take for your consideration. Today, Chevrolet revealed the base price of the Colorado ZR2 which begins at $40,995 (includes a $940 destination charge). That will net you the extended cab model with the 3.6L V6. Chevrolet isn't talking pricing for the crew cab or the option of the 2.8L Duramax Turbodiesel. This price undercuts the base Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro by $705. The list of standard equipment is quite extensive with front and rear locking electro…

I am considering 'jumping the fence' from the Blue Oval Ranch to the BowTie Ranch. This would be a first for me after 4 Ford trucks. Am looking at a '05 Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab 4x4 with the DuraMax/Allison. The truck is a great vehicle in ride, handling, braking and OMG would I wrack up tickets- it's quick. The guy is only asking wholesale on it, which amounts to $26K. I am wondering 2 things: What is the standard powertrain warranty on the DuraMax? I've heard the extended is 7/200. What are people getting for MPG out of these 'around town'? I get 16 out of my current truck and am fine with that, but some claim the DM is good for closer to 20 in the same circumstan…

I couldn't help but notice a warning light in the gauge cluster that reads "AUTO" and has a windshield logo above it (Picture attached).

Today I was eating at the dining center with a couple girls and somehow we got on the subject of what cars we drove. One of them said she used to have a Corolla but her parents recently bought her a Chevy Malibu. I assumed it was a '97-'03, but she said it was a 2004 so I thought that was kinda interesting. Then, as we were leaving, I overheard some guy say "No, I don't have the Civic anymore...I have a Cobalt now." I've also seen a ton of G6's around campus. Could GM be attracting a new generation of car buyers?

This is no way to treat a 1963 Corvette split-window coupe. Found in Washington by one of Google StreetView's drones, there's actually no barn to this barn find, just a car left sitting in the gray mist that folks in the Pacific Northwest call "weather." This Corvette had a 12-year shelf life, and then according to the owner, it's "been veggin' on the spot since '75." If you are interested, it's one of the fuel injected models and comes with an extra engine and other parts. Of course, if it's been sitting there for 34 years, it could fall to pieces when you try to move it... and you'll probably find more than a few dead (or perturbed) animals lurking thereabouts.

The new Camaro does just that—and it's become one of the few cars outside the supercar ranks that will almost always elicit a conversation at the gas pumps. BEST VEHICLE DESIGN: Chevrolet Camaro, Base Price: $22,245. Under the watch of GM design boss Ed Welburn, Chevy imagined the new Camaro as a thoroughly modern take on the 1967 original.
