C&G Chevrolet Census

[Camino LS6]

1. How many new Chevrolets have you purchased/leased in the last decade ('98 model year and up)?

2. Do you intend to purchase a new Chevrolet in the next two model years?

For me:

1. One (directly that is, though I decided/arranged the purchase of several others)

2005 Silverado HD

2. Unlikely

[Intrepidation]

1. 0

2. If my financial situatuion looks good, a Camaro

[CARBIZ]

1. My Optra 5. But I've sold over 1,000 - does that count?

[Camino LS6]

1. My Optra 5. But I've sold over 1,000 - does that count?

No, it doesn't in this case.

What about question#2?

[CARBIZ]

Not likely. If the BF needs a car, I'll give him the Optra and take a demo. A nice Camaro would do. Fat chance!

I only bought the Optra 5 to get the manager(s) off my back for all the dog hair in my demos. (At least that is what I told them it was.!)

[ocnblu]

1. '98 S-10 ZR2. 2002 Silverado 2WD regular cab shortbox. 2004 Colorado Z71 extended cab 4X4.

2. Possibly. Candidates: '09 Colorado, '09 Cobalt coupe, Camaro 3.6L. But I keep going back to the Solstice coupe, G6 coupe, or even a G5 GT.

[loki]

2. If my financial situatuion looks good, a Camaro

1. 99 MC 3.1L ~146K miles it's what i drive, it's not legally mine

2. see above. prolly keep the MC for a while, I graduate in the spring.....i better.

[FUTURE_OF_GM]

1) Zer0

2) I will seriously consider a Camaro, HHR SS or Cobalt SS or Corvette if I can afford it. But other than that, Pontiac gets my vote.

[AAS]

Speaking for my family here...

1. '98 Camaro Z28, '00 Camaro SS, '01 Tahoe, '08 Corvette

2. Current Cobalt is a possible new car, as are then next gen. Cobalt, Camaro (and next gen)

Edited June 27, 2008 by AAS

[cletus8269]

1. 2004 colorado crew cab z71 60K miles and will be paid for in 10 months

2. would like to see an 08 5.3 colorado but for the cost i could plobably just settle for an extended cab silverado.

(camaro would be cool but i got my impy back and my dads 94 z28 to play with if speed is the need)

Edited June 27, 2008 by cletus8269

[mustang84]

1. None bought new, although I've owned/drive two used Chevrolets.

2. Possibly, I'm looking at the '08 Malibu. The Turbo Cobalt SS has also peaked my interest.

Edited June 27, 2008 by mustang84

[z28luvr01]

1. 1 (my current car and first new car)

2) The next Cobalt coupe is a possibility if it doesn't look as "Asian" as the sedan spy pics seem to hint at. I'd also like to see what they do with the next HHR. I'm putting the Camaro purchase off until after the first-on-the-block crowd buys theirs at huge markups.

[ocnblu]

Shoot I forgot about the HHR. I love that little wagon.

[vonVeezelsnider]

1.

New:1999 Venture, 2002 Venture, 2005 Venture,

Off Lease: 2006 Malibu Maxx, 2007 Impala

2.

Next Two Years: Likely another W-Impala or that new Chevy MPV if it's out in time.

[Robert Hall]

1) 0

2) A Camaro conv. possibly

[§carlet §wordfish]

1. None

2. Maaaaybe a Cobalt.

[Chevy Nick]

1) '98 Camaro Z-28, '99 Camaro SS, '99 Corvette

2) '10 Camaro (with LSA engine) or '08 Corvette / and a '09 HHR SS Turbo

Edited June 27, 2008 by Chevy Nick

[REDO1GPGT]

1. 0

2. No

[daves87rs]

1. 2000 S10 ext cab 4.3 2003 Cavalier 4dr 2004 Cavalier 2dr

2. Kinda going back and forth with Pontiac and Chevy. HHR, Malibu, maybe next gen Balt.

[Blake Noble]

1. No. Our past Chevrolets were purchased used, but with less than 30,000 miles on the odometer.

2. Yes, the 2010 Camaro is what I will be buying finances permitting.

Edited June 27, 2008 by YellowJacket894

[Satty]

None

Maybe a Camaro convertible, depends on how things shake out over the next few years.

[gm4life]

1. Owned 2 Chevrolets a 1973 Nova SS and currently a 2001 Impala.

2. I am sure I will have another Chevy someday prolly a Camaro or pick-up. Within the next two years unlikely.

[!!!TED!!!]

1. Zero

2. I have seriously considered a Cobalt coupe. Out of all GM brands, I would be getting a Chevy in the future most likely.

In reality, I prefer pre-'98 GM cars.

[SoCalCTS]

1. 1 - 1998 Cavalier, the most reliable car anyone in my family has ever owned. Problem free for 60k miles until I traded up to Cadillac.

2. Maybe I will by the Volt if Caddy's offerings aren't to my likeing.

[hyperv6]

1. How many new Chevrolets have you purchased/leased in the last decade ('98 model year and up)?

2. Do you intend to purchase a new Chevrolet in the next two model years?

For me:

1. None since 1988.

2. As of today yes. As explained in the Popntiac Census I will buy a 2009 GM product and right now a HHR SS fits my needs for the daily beater.

I would like a Pontiac but none fit my needs for a year round daily driver that can carry more than 2 people.

Long shot I may opt for a V6 Camaro but I expect to stay with the HHR SS.

Three people in the family + dog. I need more than one car all of us can travel in. The wife hates the extended cab of the Sonoma ZQ8 already. I would love to have a Pontiac but any I like will not fit my needs and get good mileage of near 30 Highway.

I may replace the wifes GP with a G8 in a few years. Also if the Alpha comes along that may make a good replacment for me later? The market is changing so fast!

[Oracle of Delphi]

1. 1

2. Possibly another NOX for the wife, but very unlikely. (Didn't like the dealer's service department)

[BigPontiac]

For me:

1. 0

2. very unlikely. Buying a Chevy means buying from a Chevy dealer -- pass.

[ToniCipriani]

1. How many new Chevrolets have you purchased/leased in the last decade ('98 model year and up)?

1. The dreadful 2002 Cavalier.

2. Do you intend to purchase a new Chevrolet in the next two model years?

If anything happens to my G6, maybe a Malibu, but highly unlikely.

[DetroitNut90]

1. 2003 Venture LT AWD, 2006 Express 2500 4.8L cargo, two 2007 Express 1500 4.3L cargo vans, and a 2007 Impala LS (the company technically owns these vehicles, but my parents own the company).

2. Again, to answer as-posed, no (student loans). I love the Camaro, and would definitely consider one with the 3.6L V6. I like the Corvette a lot, too. But I also like driving a car that not everyone else has. I guess it depends.

[griff7774]

1. yes

2. no

[crash]

1) no

2) the malibu and a used monte carlo are on my shopping list

[Cremazie]

1. 2006 Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab 4x4

2007 Chevrolet Silverado Ext. Cab 4x4 Vortec max

2. I would love to own a Camaro, may just have one

[Z-06]

1. No brand new

Used 1998 Lumina, 2002 Z06

2. Cobalt SS turbo (or may be NG if it does not look like Baeyoo), Camaro, May be a Duramax 1500, RWD Impala

Possibly used 2007-08 Z06

Edited June 28, 2008 by smallchevy

[haypops]

2007 HHR

unlikely to need a car in the next two.

[2QuickZ's]

1) 2 --> 1998 S10 and 2002 Camaro Z28

2) Very possible in 2010, though Cadillac CTS has the lead currently. Would likely be either a Malibu or a Cobalt SS sedan.

[bobo]

1. 1, my '05 Silverado

2. No

[BowTieFarmer]

1. 4 Silverados, 1 TrailBlazer, 1 Tahoe = 6

2. Two

[caddycruiser]

For me AND the 'rents:

1. Mom had an '02 Avalanche, '04 Suburban (almost went GMC, but couldn't get the right one), and now an '08 Malibu. I've had none.

2. Mom very likely will, as Chevy is "her brand", and she loves most everything they have. With her Malibu, I almost just did get one until getting turned on by a G6 and it's better $ numbers--but definitely maybe for the next or the next after that.

[biff]

1. 2

2. Just got a new one, so no.

[PONTIAC06]

1. 0

2. No

[GMTruckGuy74]

1. How many new Chevrolets have you purchased/leased in the last decade ('98 model year and up)?

2. Do you intend to purchase a new Chevrolet in the next two model years?

1. Purchased - 1

2. Intentions - 0; but the future isn't written and anything is possible!

[ZL-1]

1. 0

2. If GM made a version of the Nomad concept and priced competitively against the MINI (under 25K euros) I'd consider it

Might also consider a Captiva in case I start a family.

[way2tall]

We own a 2005 Chevy Avalanche. Love it. It's a great truck, and it's good for carting around the family too. But we hate putting gas in it. 15 MPG avg isn't bad for mixed city and highway driving, but it's still rough on the wallet. E85 is great, but the mileage is horrible and it's not that much cheaper than gas where we live. Therefore, E85 doesn't make economic sense for us.

Chevy is doing a good job of retooling the lineup. The more fuel efficient, and high quality cars, the better. HHR is a favorite, but it could use a well done interior and some exterior redesign for 2010. The small windows and excessive plastic in HHR have to go. Chevy also needs a new minivan! I hate Sienna and Odyssey!

This is somewhat off topic, but if Chevrolet plans to become a brand that can lure Toyota and Honda buyers into the showroom, there needs to be some clarification of the Chevrolet Brand. Chevrolet and GMC should not have commercial trucks and buses with the Chevy Bowtie or GMC logo. Car and light truck drivers don't want to be associated with a school bus, tow truck or cab-over-chassis truck. These commercial vehicles should be branded with a simple GM logo in the front, much like the one on new GM car door panels. For example, Ford uses the Sterling S and Toyota uses Hino to market their commercial vehicles. It's a vital adjustment that needs to be made to help improve brand impression.

"I want a 2-tone Chevrolet" ... BJ Thomas ... '2-Car Garage'

[lanky9172]

1. a 1998 Malibu

2. a NEW gen Malibu possibly, maybe a Cobalt if it's any good, but that's it. I don't think I would be able to afford a Camaro

Edited June 30, 2008 by lanky9172

[BuddyP]

1. No "new" Chev's, but did buy a '03 Avalanche used (can't justify buying new)

2. No... unless my '68 camaro project comes to a halt, then I'll sell it and put that $$ down on a "new" camaro.

[CMG]

1- ONE. A Chevy Express.

2- Not very likely! I've had quite a few problems with my Express, but it's still a decent vehicle. I wanna try something different next time, I would get a Dodge Sprinter but they are priced outta my line of sight.... but you never know.. I'll drive the Express for a couple more years and see how things go...

[Lamar]

1) None

2) No... it's too soon. Maybe a few years after '10, depending on how things look for us.
