well... so far we've probably sold about 500 07 tahoes.. and corvettes maybe 10 or so for the year... so you take your pick as to which vehicle is top sellers... we sell mostly tahoes and silverados... silverado is definatly our best... with usually 400 silverados or so in inventory inventory is light right now... lots of tahoes... probably 200-300 in inventory

they are bigger... just not as tall iirc but longer and wider i think they are almost as big as the tahoes... keep in mind the ext/xl were almost as big as suburbans... ... you do...? EVERYONE NEW DESKTOP!

haha just chevys... no problem man... i just hope you got a good deal without too much hassle

what is the auras yearly production estimates? is 1500 a good sales amount for first month?

i was under the impression that the idea was still a go for the GMT900 but it was too far off, and wouldnt be in the GMT900 to start due to complications and would be in the line up 2-3 years from now

when you could have bought from me... yes

YOU SON OF A BITCH!... you bought from power Chevy.. hehe... looks like a nice LT2 package

all the recall notifications are talking about how great the service is instead of the severity of the recall...

but GM's claim is that its the best warranty for a full line automaker... meaning everything from sports cars to trucks to luxuary cars... Aveo to XLR-V...

well according to GM the average owner keeps his vehicle 52 months and 82k miles... so the average buyer is driving more then 12k miles a year...

this is true... but the world has survived this far without extreme warrantys... no one has a bumper to bumper that goes much farther then 36k miles... because the auto manufacture shouldnt be held accountable for users wear and tear... if its a major problem.. recall... but... not saying things are the consumers fault... but if you look at hyundais warranty... it sounds good in theory, but there are so many loopholes for them to escape the work... all in all... lets be happy...

wow yuck...

your upset about luxuarys? when the car is still getting you from point A to point B... if you want the luxuarys covered get a luxuary make... like cadillac things like power windows are fixable at your earliest convience... fixing the transmission is a must...

scary... well hopefully it'll be good for me... at the dealership... I remember when hyundai introduced warrantys my best friend had a cousin who was on the development team for the hyundai sonota interior... well both my friend and cousin believed hyundai to be belly up before the 10 years was up... so what worth was the warranty if the company couldnt be there to back it...? now... with a company assumably going BK less then a year ago, imposing the best warranty in the industry... how will public perception change? honnestly i dont think it'll cost gm much... but it'll help them learn what they need to fix about their vehicles... wonder if anyone will match it...

honnestly this wont really cost gm much in my opinion... almost every powertrain they make is good for 100k easy... but a lot of people do drive that many miles... and you are going to attract high mileage customers... customers that a lot of people look to for car "word of mouth" because they drive 100k miles in a few years... I know a few guys with 200k miles on 2001's and what not... or a guy had 360k miles on a 2003 silverado... a lot of people at least here in cali, have 50 mile comutes one way... so working 5 days a week... 100x5x52 = over 25k miles a year... x 5 years... 130k miles...

GM expected to announce longer warranties By Shawn Langlois, MarketWatch Last Update: 11:15 AM ET Sep 6, 2006 SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- General Motors on Wednesday is expected to take a cue from Hyundai's groundbreaking 100,000 mile warranty plan and expand its current program, which mostly mirrors the industry standard of 36,000 miles. GM's (GM : General Motors Corporation GM 31.01, +0.57, +1.9%) stock bucked early market weakness to trade up 1.8% at $31. The automaker said it will announce a "major consumer initiative" at 1 p.m. Eastern, but spokeswoman Janine Fruehan declined to comment on specifics. GM has made strides in improving the quality of its products in recent years, but it still trails in the perception game to Toyota. (TM : toyota motor corp TM 107.67, -1.47, -1.3%) . Media reports early Wednesday said GM is likely to announce a five-year, 100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty with no deductible. Such a move would be aimed at igniting sales as it did for the resurgent Hyundai brand in 1999. An extended warranty approach, which could prove costly if quality slips, will ideally help GM forge ahead with its strategy of relying less on cash incentives to battle its rivals for share in the key U.S. market.

wow... good news... ive been complaining about this for a while now...

yea if its any consilation prize, my 3500 gets 10-12 city-highway and thats hauling ass! barreling down at 80mph

sure... the mileage ranges are much worse now... but with a renewable source... the fuel is cheaper, the fuel is of course renewable, and is inefficent only because it is an after thought of gasoline... if the engine was designed to run 100% ethonal... it would be much more fuel efficent let alone more powerful... it is more volitle as it is

looks like year to date... toyota is beating chevy by about 18k units... lets hope we can crank out another americas favorite brand title... hopefully the silverado will blow up the 4th quarters sales...

just dont want anyone pulling the bs flag... and no... if you look at toyota with the Resturant philospophy... they cant even get their "chefs specialty" prius right... the camry has transmission and engine problems, the avalon has suspension and steering problems, the echo had engine problems, the tundra has suspension faults... so when a statement is said like ".....except that Toyota hits on the "engineering" and "execution" parts of the equation......." i wonder... what they were thinking... the only execution that has been done well over the last decade is PR... because i've been on the side of the road in a toyota more than enough times...

the steering wheel doesnt fall off... its a steering yoke that wasnt welded to the steering shaft, if i remember correctly

Carnegie Mellon, General Motors Will Compete in 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge Driverless Vehicles Will Navigate Simulated City Traffic and Obstacles PITTSBURGH—Carnegie Mellon University will partner with General Motors Corp. to form Tartan Racing, a team that will enter a driverless Chevy Tahoe in the $2 million Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Urban Challenge scheduled for November 2007. The race will require autonomous vehicles to travel 60 miles of streets in a mock urban setting. To succeed, vehicles must drive completely on their own — without drivers or remote control — and finish the course within six hours. Cars must stay in their lanes, negotiate intersections, drive in traffic and follow rules of the road with only computers at the wheel. The Urban Challenge is designed to develop autonomous driving skills for city streets, eventually leading to cars that drive themselves. In the short term, the experimental technology developed for the challenge could yield new devices that aid human drivers and improve highway safety. “The Urban Challenge will develop a leap of capability beyond what is possible in today’s human-driven cars,” said William “Red” Whittaker, the Fredkin Research Professor at Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute and team leader for Tartan Racing. Since there are no human drivers in the Urban Challenge, the driverless cars must “see” roads and other vehicles with cameras, lasers, radar, sensors and other breaking technologies. Planning software continuously determines where and how to drive, how to stay out of trouble and how to quickly reach a destination. Tartan Racing’s Chevy Tahoe will be equipped with automated throttle, brakes and steering for computer control of physical motion. “A challenge like this requires not only the best technologists, but also the best sponsors,” Whittaker said. “With General Motors as our premier sponsor, Tartan Racing draws on the support and unmatched technical expertise of the world’s largest automotive company.” “The rapid progression from stand-alone safety and convenience features to integrated driver-assistance systems will soon make autonomous driving a reality,” said Larry Burns, GM vice president for R&D and Strategic Planning. “Autonomous driving has the potential to dramatically enhance vehicle safety, customer convenience and fuel economy, and is a key component of GM's vision to reinvent the automobile using advanced technology. “We are very excited to be partnering with Carnegie Mellon on the Urban Challenge. Our partnership will accelerate our capability in this fast-moving technology area and the challenge will be an important testing ground for our autonomous driving systems and enabling technologies,” Burns said. Chris Urmson, Tartan Racing’s technology leader, will direct a team of world-class researchers drawn from Carnegie Mellon and GM. These include Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute (RI) Research Professor Anthony Stentz; RI Professor Martial Hebert; RI Senior Systems Scientist John Dolan; and Raj Rajkumar, Carnegie Mellon professor of electrical and computer engineering and computer science, who is co-director of the GM-Carnegie Mellon Collaborative Research Laboratory. The team also includes Bakhtiar Litkouhi, acting director of the Electrical and Controls Integration Lab at GM R&D and co-director of the GM-Carnegie Mellon Collaborative Research Lab; Varsha Sadekar, group leader, active safety and driver assistance, and program manager for the Urban Challenge; and other researchers and technologists from General Motors. Whittaker said Tartan Racing will continue to seek additional sponsors and teammates as it prepares for the event, now scheduled for Nov. 3, 2007. DARPA says its Urban Challenge will be at an as-yet undisclosed site somewhere in the western United States. It will award a $2 million prize to the team whose vehicle completes the course fastest in less than six hours, with $500,000 and $250,000 prizes going to the second- and third-place finishers, respectively. In 2004 and 2005, Carnegie Mellon teams led by Whittaker competed in DARPA Grand Challenges, in which robotic vehicles followed desert courses.
