Of course the weather gives us an excellent excuse to evaluate a convertible, and what better one to do this with tan a Chevrolet Corvette, in bright yellow of course. We certainly had a a blast in this. The car has a very nice exhaust system coupled to it, which makes driving on small roads with echoing trees even more of a blast. Listen for yourself and be jealous..!!
Really, 3 days is not enough To get a fair opinion on this car, but 3 days is what we were allowed, so that is what we have to deal with. After a full nights charge we had 39 miles on the range indicator. To drive my daughter to her school takes a total of 3 miles, but there are some hills on the way. At the end of this very short drive, the range had reduced by 12 miles, with only 27 miles left. I was not using a heave right foot, so this came a bit of a shock.
The Chevrolet Equinox survived the GM bankruptcy and was deemed a “current” enough vehicle in the old GM line up to remain. Clearly, the current sales numbers must prove GM right in their decision, and we do see plenty of these driving around. The Equinox appears a lot in school parking lots where it is one of the current “mom’s” SUV’s used to transport the kids to and from school. Continue Reading…
We took delivery of the Chevrolet Volt yesterday, and because of the different nature of the car, I thought it a good idea to post regular quick updates on what we experienced with it in daily use. I will be posting those quick updates on our Facebook page, so if you are interested in reading these quick notes, please click here.
The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze makes an initial impression of being designed with a tremendous sense of conservatism sprinkled with the headlights of the previous Ford Focus. Admittedly, it is coming in the guise of w “world car” which yet again seems to be used as an excuse for making something bland and boring. Is it truly the case that a car that is targeted to be sold all over the globe has to please so many people that it can only be made to look bland..? Really..? Could it not also mean that all over the world people recognize it as a bland looking car, and therefore choose to go for something else?
The Chevrolet Traverse represents the current Chevrolet design language, with using established underpinnings with a refreshed front end, tail and main body design. The grille and pronounced head lights are clearly in line with the car section, and the dynamic lines used throughout also reflect the same. The dynamic kick-up of the catwalk toward the rear gives the overall design more direction compared to the conventional SUVs.
We were really looking forward to finally driving the new Chevrolet Camaro. With its whirlwind marketing campaign, its bold stance against both the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger, and the reputation GM has built up over the decades with the Camaro, we were anxious to find how it would fulfill its promisse.
The exterior design of the Camaro is clearly in the same semi retro style as the Mustang and Challenger, though there seems to be a modern interpretation given to the Camaro design. The belt line is relatively high and the roof line is kept low, making for a aw inspiring side view which is only enhanced by the low slung windows. In reality the rear overhang of the Camaro is shorter than it appears to be, due to the taper off of the center line, which gives it a more compact stance in rear three-quarter view.
In the first of twelve episodes, Corvette Racing shares a behind-the-scenes look at the team’s preparations for the 12 Hours of Sebring, the start of the 2010 ALMS season. The team is clear about one thing: amid tough competition, they remain focused on winning.
