2013 Electric Chevy Spark.

2011 October 17
Posted by johnkehoe67

Will 2013 electric Chevy Spark be built in Korea? Those are the quoted words of a GM Korea spokesman, according to Ward’s Auto. If, however, that same question were posed to Mark Modica, associate fellow at the National Legal and Policy Center, you’ll get a different answer. Modica says he has it “on good authority” that the Spark will be built in Korea.
According to Modica, GM North America director of communications, Greg Martin, admitted that both the conventional and electric versions of the U.S.-bound Chevy Spark will be manufactured in South Korea.
Two conflicting stories, that’s for sure. So, which one is more accurate? Well, considering that both the gasoline- and diesel-fueled Sparks are currently built in South Korea, there is some logic to the idea that the electric minicar being manufactured there, too.Without an official word from GM, we’ll keep the Spark’s country of origin a big question mark.

Chevrolet Camaro News.

2011 September 2
Posted by johnkehoe67

In August 2011, the Chevrolet Camaro moved 6,823 coupe and convertibles for an improvement of 7.9% over the same month in 2010, although that total presented a decline from the month before when GM moved 7,671 muscle cars.  For the year, General Motors has delivered 63,255 Camaros so not only has it led 7 or the 8 months of 2011 but it also holds a very comfortable lead of almost 11,000 units over the Mustang. Based on the current sales figures, GM could stop selling the Camaro for November and December and they would still have a great chance of beating the Mustang in annual sales for the second year in a row. Before 2010, the Camaro hadn’t outsold the Mustang since 1985.
The Ford Mustang moved 5,718 units in August 2011 – an increase of 2.7% over the same month in 2010 but compared to July, the Mustang saw a decline of roughly 1,100 units. The Ford Mustang offers less power than the Camaro but thanks to Ford’s efforts in suspension and chassis technology, the Mustang is just as fast (if not faster) than its cross town rival sporting the bowtie. Even with that and the lower price in mind, the Mustang continues to trail the Camaro from month to month.

General Motors has announced that it is recalling certain Model Year 2012 Chevrolet Impalas for improper routing of the vehicle’s upper power steering hose, which could lead to melting of the hose due to its close proximity to the catalytic converter.  The safety concern is that the melted hose may drip power steering fluid onto the vehicle’s catalytic converter, resulting in a blaze.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that 10,344 Model Year 2012 Chevy Impalas manufactured between April 19, 2011 and July 29, 2011 could potentially be affected by this recall. GM dealers will inspect vehicles to ensure the upper power steering hose is routed correctly and make any repairs or alterations free of charge.

2011 Chevrolet Suburban.

2011 August 5

2011 Chevrolet Suburban news. Suburban wears the global face of Chevrolet, wîth a large Chevy gold bowtie centered on a distinctive grille. The body-colored grille surround is inset wîth an argent texture mesh.  Fog lamps and headlamps feature detailed optics. The lower fascia, incorporating the front license plate holder and integrated tow hooks, is aggressively styled wîth a skid plate look that enhances Suburban’s rugged, off-road appearance.
Suburban’s front-end styling reflects its capability. It includes the fast-rake windshield; a bulging power dome hood; a prominent fender design wîth integrated wheel flares; a distinctive grille and headlamps; and a full-wrap fascia. The wraparound fascia, which eliminates the conventional bumper-to-body gap, is one of the numerous attributes that gives the Suburban a more refined look. It also enhances aerodynamics.
Seventeen-inch wheels and tires are standard on 1500 models, wîth 20-inch wheels available (standard on LTZ).  The large wheels fill Suburban‘s wheelhouses, giving the vehicle a confident stance. Suburban 2500 come wîth standard 17-inch wheels.
Suburban also offers power-articulated running boards on LTZ models. They blend smoothly wîth the vehicle’s design, but automatically move downward and outward when the doors are opened, providing a lower step-in height.
The popular Z71 Off Road appearance package returns for 2011. It includes the Z71 Off Road suspension wîth high-pressure, gas-charged monotube shocks; 18-inch on/off-road tires; automatic-locking rear differential; front recovery hooks; a durable skid plate and a high-capacity air cleaner.

Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

Posted by johnkehoe67

The 2007 Chevy Monte Carlo adds sizzle to the mid-car segmènt wîth premium-quality features, racing-inspired styling, powerful yet fuel-efficient engines and thoughtful attention to detail. For 2007,  Chevy Monte Carlo builds on the new look and revised suspension it received for 2006 for a vehicle that looks as good as it drives.
Monte Carlo draws on a rich NASCAR stock car racing legacy – the most successful nameplate in the sport’s history – to offer one of the industry’s only true midsize personal coupes. The vehicle has remained true to the roots of style and performance established at its introduction in 1970.
Both the LS and LT models use the 3.5L V-6 engine. The 3.5L V-6 uses variable valve timing and variable intake technology to help deliver 211 horsepower (157 kW) and 214 lb.-ft. (290 Nm) of torque . The muscular Monte Carlo SS, equipped wîth a 5.3L small-block V-8, produces 303 horsepower (226 kW) and 323 lb.-ft. (438 Nm) of torque.
All engines are matched to the Hydra-Matic 4T65 four-speed automatic transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com) This smooth-shifting transmission is renowned for its durability and strength wîth high-torque engines. The version mated wîth the 5.3L V-8 is enhanced to match the engine’s increased torque output.
For 2007, the Monte Carlo is available in the LS, LT and SS configurations. The LT model has been re-contented to include new standard and available equipment, and the LTZ model has been discontinued.

Chevrolet Impala.

2011 July 6
Posted by johnkehoe67

The Detroit News is reporting that a group of Chevrolet Impala owners have filed a class-action lawsuit against General Motors over claims that the automaker addressed rear-end alignment issues on law enforcement 2007-2008 Impala models, but not vehicles owned by the public at large.  The suit claims that a defect in the design of the rear spindle rods on the sedans causes the vehicle to wear through rear tires at an accelerated rate. Currently, only one owner is named in the litigation. Chevrolet Impala 50th Anniversary Edition.
Donna Trusky of Blakely, Pennsylvania purchased an Impala in 2008 only to have the rear tires wear out in 6,000 miles. Other owners have complained of similar problems, including one driver who had a blowout due to excessive wear after just under 11,000 miles. Trusky’s dealership replaced the tires and aligned the vehicle, but didn’t mention any issue with the spindle rods. The Detroit News says that GM issued a technical service bulletin for 2008 Police Impala models but not the 423,000 civilian vehicles manufactured and sold between 2007 and the following year.
The lawsuit aims to have GM pay for the replacement tires and fix the alignment issue. GM, meanwhile, maintains that law enforcement Impala models are inherently different than those available to the consumer.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze.

2011 June 29

Report: Chevy developing two-door Cruze. Thus far, the Cruze has been a big success for Chevrolet.  Although you could chalk up part of its meteoric rise to a lack of supply from Japan, the Cruze was the best-selling compact in America last month. To build on that success, General Motors is reportedly developing a two-door coupe Cruze for future production.
Although officials have yet to confirm the Cruze coupe, reports indicate that development is already well under way, with production earmarked for the Orion, Michigan, plant where the Sonic is being built. Why not the Lordstown, Ohio plant where the Cruze sedan is built? That facility is already running at full capacity – even into overtime – just to meet demand.
It would be interesting to see the Cruze spawn a coupe variant, particularly since two-door versions of the Cobalt and the Cavalier that preceded it, lamentable though they were, proved popular among teenagers as first cars. We particularly miss the Cobalt SS, which was available in both coupe and sedan bodystyles before the model was discontinued, as it offered one of the best performance to price ratios on the market.

From blistering style to advanced protection, CARiD.com presents a full line of Chevy Cruze Accessories and parts to choose from. That’s because we work side by side with every major manufacturer in the game to ensure the kind of quality and selection that makes a difference. Chevy Cruze accessories and parts are available in everything from spoilers and Chevy bug shield to wheels and grille guards. You decide the effect you’re going for and we’ll supply the rest. When you need Chevy Cruze accessories, CARiD has you covered.

Chevy Volt Quality.

2011 June 23
Posted by johnkehoe67

The Detroit News notes, “The cabin is simply the best Chevy interior available. The two-tone dash clearly marks the traditional dual cockpit design that moves from the dash through the doors in a nearly seamless look. This helps the cabin feel even bigger. The grains and materials are all top notch throughout.”
Chevrolet is also offering extra warranty coverage on the Volt: an eight-year/100,000 mile warranty on the battery pack, a three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a five-year/100,000 mile gas engine warranty and five years/100,000 miles of roadside assistance and courtesy transportation.

The Chevrolet Volt

Based on my experience with the Volt, I thought the car felt as high-quality as a Prius. That’s a pretty subjective measure, but to me, the doors closed with a nice solid sound, road noise was well-muffled and the cabin had a quality feel. I would have liked a nicer fabric on the seats. Leather is an option, but my test car just didn’t have it. The plastics felt and looked good. I especially liked the center stack. It had a cool design, and the integrated buttons made it easy to clean.
Chevrolet Volt owners are a chatty bunch, and owner forums like the Volt Ownership Forum and the Owners Forum at mychevroletvolt.com are good sources for asking real Volt owners about their experiences.

Chevrolet Volt is a compromise between a compact design and high power, an electric vehicle and a gasoline vehicle. It is a privilege to drive the car that will bring us into a nearest future. Presently CARiD.com proposes the top quality Chevrolet Volt Accessories and spare parts at the best prices and offering the widest choice of chevy steering wheels, head lights, tail lights, body kits, steering wheels, wheels, grills, spoilers, air filters, floor mats and so on.

New Chevy Malibu.

2011 June 13
Posted by johnkehoe67

While GM’s once-vast array of worldwide brands operated as separate units in the past, in today’s global economy they’ve all got intertwining roles. Case in point: the new Chevy Malibu.
The new mid-sized sedan is being prepared for its global rollout, but before it is, GM needs to prepare it for the wide variety of different road surfaces encountered in overseas markets. So it’s turned to its Australian subsidiary, Holden, to help fine-tune the chassis.
The work is being undertaken at Holden’s Lang Land Proving Ground in Victoria, Australia, and along public roads in places like the coastal resort town of Phillip Island, where the car is pictured above.
Of course this won’t be the first time Holden has been called upon to help with global products; its chassis have been exported on such products as the Pontiac G8 and GTO, Vauxhall VXR8 and Chevrolet Camaro. But lest you think it’s all give and no take for the Australian marque, the Malibu will be sold Down Under as a Holden, as opposed to the Chevrolet bow-tie it will wear in North America and other markets.

Chevy brings to the table a wide range of models that are capable of taking over the road in several different ways. When it comes to power, we all know about the trucks. Brute. Tough. Power. If it’s turbocharged enthusiasm, both the Corvette and Cobalt seem to rustle up plenty of interest.  We’re talking about serious versatility, but what else should you expect in what is seen as the “All-American brand?” Chevy Spoilers are versatile as well, shotgunning some fast style to a whole assortment of vehicles. CARiD.com offers a supersonic selection geared towards more models than anywhere else and at the highest level of quality in existence.
