Check out the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic!

Over the past decade or two the reputation of American made cars has changed from being well made vehicles to sub-par, overpriced, low quality workmanship.

And now the 2012 Chevy Sonic is on track to be the first step in changing the image of the American made automobile back to one of quality and style. Besides its sleek lines one of the first things you notice about this innovative new subcompact is that it comes standard with aluminum wheels.

Chevy Volt – Our Long Term Test

Well the 2012 Chevy Volt has been taken around the yard a time or two. The tires have been kicked, the suspensions been tested, and the reviews are in. Almost unanimously across the board the 2012 Chevy Volt has gotten staggeringly high numbers. People love this car and they have every reason to. The fact is that with the 2012 Chevy Volt you’re talking about a plug-in hybrid car that has mastered the technology at least insofar as it stands today.

In something of a turnabout being fair play on the numbers, the 2012 Chevy Volt actually gets better fuel economy in town (95 mpg city) than on the highway (93 mpg). Still, with numbers like those can you imagine the totals? Even if you’ve only got a 12 gallon tank; a 95 mpg rating means you don’t have to fill up before 1100 miles! Of city driving! That’s unheard of.

2012 Chevy Camaro review

Sleek, powerful, efficient; precision-engineered to deliver unbelievable performance on the road, the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro is designed for… well, whatever you have in mind. Be it closed track, open road, driveway, highway… in all conditions, this car is one you can get to grips with just about anywhere.

Stand out from the crowd

This car has been described as “forward-thinking” and it’s clear to see, a lot of thought has gone into the development of this car. From its powerful engine (the aluminum Camaro SS 6.2L V8 engine delivers 426 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque), clever independent rear suspension and variable-ratio power steering, to its unique yet unmistakable design and ground-breaking safety features, you just have to see this car in action to know it’s special.

The Chevy Camaro is setting Safety Standards

Nothing screams out American classic like a muscle car. For the better part of the last decade, several of the top American automakers abandoned their signature muscle, including Chevrolet. However, the Camaro recently made its return to the showrooms with a completely re-designed, yet familiar body, taking elements of the past and bringing in touches of the future to make a desirable, yet affordable vehicle. The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro lineup offers several new features not previously available including a convertible. On top of this though, the 2012 edition actually became possibly the safest vehicle on the road.

2012 Chevy Camaro Safety Features

The 2012 Chevy Camaro safety report is incredibly impressive, as it managed to receive a score no other vehicle has ever accomplished in the history of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is five star ratings in every single category. This is further impressive as the NHTSA included additional tests this year, including side barrier impact crashes and pole impact crashes).

Jay Leno Drives 10,000 Miles without Using a Drop of Gas

Sales of the Volt have been picking up lately with GM’s extended-range EV outselling one of its main rivals, the Nissan Leaf, for the very first time in October. Famous car nut Jay Leno, though, is an early adopter and he got his own Volt in December of 2010.
The host of “The Tonight Show” says he has covered more than 10,000 miles without ever visiting a gas station. Yes, you read that correctly: Leno is still driving on the same tank of fuel his Volt had 11 months ago.

“I like electricity when I need it and gas when I need to use it”, said Leno. “I travel 28 miles to the studio every day, then I go shopping, run errands, pull in the driveway; that’s 40 miles or so. Then I plug it in, but if I need to travel further the car is ready for that too.”

Leno isn’t the only Volt owner who has passed the 10,000-mile mark without visiting the gas station. “I’m an opportunistic charger”, says Edward Ellyatt whose daily commute is 41 miles. “I generally find a 120V plug in the parking lot and ask management if I can use it when shopping or dining. If I am at one location for an hour or two, I can expect to get enough EV range to get me home where I can plug back in.”

Leno, Ellyatt and other Volt owners that have a five-digit number on their car’s odometer will receive a “10,000 Electric Mile” badge.

Vice president of Global Chevrolet Marketing, Chris Perry, said: “The 10,000 Electric Mile badge not only recognizes their achievement, but gives another point to brag about with anyone interested in learning more about the Volt.”

A survey carried out by Chevrolet found out that the average Volt owner fills up the tank once a month and travels 900 miles between gas station visits.

Perry added, “Volt owners are an extremely passionate and enthusiastic group. They carry pictures of their car, refer to themselves by their VIN number and freely talk about their ownership experience with anyone who will ask.”

2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco Priced Under $26,000

2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco Priced Under $26,000

Hybrid-like fuel efficiency for a non-hybrid-like price

DETROIT – The all-new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco midsize sedan will start at $25,995 when it arrives in dealerships in the first quarter next year, reinforcing the value proposition of the midsize segment’s longest-running nameplate.

The suggested retail price includes a $760 destination charge – but excludes tax, title, license and dealer fees.

The 2013 Malibu Eco is Chevrolet’s most fuel-efficient Malibu ever. It is the first Chevrolet to feature General Motors’ eAssist battery electric/gas propulsion system, which uses a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery and an electric motor-generator to enable regenerative braking, electric assist and start-stop functionality. That helps deliver a GM-estimated 26 mpg in city driving and 38 mpg on the highway.

Chevrolet Targeting 50 mpg with Diesel-Powered Cruze

Those of us in the U.S. will have to wait until sometime in 2013 to see the diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze, but GM insiders seem more than willing to dish out some details on the oil-burning Cruze well in advance of its debut. Ward’s Auto reports that “sources” have confirmed the oil-burning Cruze will achieve a highway fuel economy rating “in the range of 50 miles per gallon.” Additionally, unlike the manual transmission-equipped, 42-mpg rated Chevy Cruze Eco (an automatic Eco is available, but its mpg rating is well below that of the manual), the diesel Cruze, according to Charlie Klein, GM’s director of global mass, energy and aerodynamics, will be a fuel-sipping sedan Continue reading “Chevrolet Targeting 50 mpg with Diesel-Powered Cruze” »
