Chevy Racing: Dressed In Pink

Chevy Racing is dressing in pink... at least the car is, and it's quite stylish too!

In an effort to team up and help benefit breast cancer victims, treatment, research, and prevention the Chevy Race team has decided that for this weekend for every lap raced under the caution flag they will donate $200 to the American Cancer Society.

Autoworld News writes:


"For our 100th birthday in 2011, Chevrolet began its support of the American Cancer Society, and the generous response from our dealers, employees and customers told us we needed to help the Society fight for more birthdays," Don Johnson, vice president of Chevrolet sales and service, said in a statement. "At Chevy, we believe everyday heroes can accomplish extraordinary things, and it is in this spirit that we work to achieve a world without breast cancer."

The Equinox: Affordable Luxury

Are you looking for loaded leather interior, smooth ride quality and overall ease of use when considering a new car? The Equinox is for YOU! The Equinox offers high end luxury at a real-world affordable price.

Torquenews Writes:

While the majority of prospective General Motors sport utility shoppers who are looking for luxury head for the likes of the Cadillac lineup, the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ packs a luxury setting into a very unassuming form.

Not many people are quick to associate Chevy with luxury – considering that the majority of the brand’s most popular models have been performance cars that pack more power than comfort – but the 2012 Equinox LTZ brings a touch of luxury to an affordable Chevy SUV.

GM and Chevy: Doing Good Things

General Motors (The company behind Chevrolet) CEO is doing his part to help the country and help the auto industry.

Dan Atkerson plans on giving up his '58 Corvette to help rehab Detroit.

FREEP writes:


Akerson and his wife, Karin, are donating the vehicle for an auction to benefit Habitat for Humanity Detroit’s efforts to improve the Morningside Commons neighborhood.

The Akersons have taken a special interest in the rehabilitation of the neighborhood, which is located on the city’s lower-east side. They donated $1 million in February to Habitat for Humanity Detroit’s three-year project to build and upgrade houses in the Morningside Commons neighborhood.

Their Regal Torquoise Corvette, which boasts a 245-horsepower V8 engine, will be displayed at the Birmingham Triangle on Woodward Avenue during the Woodward Dream Cruise this weekend.

Details On The New Spark

As some of our Facebook users may have noticed we're a bit hyped up about the arrival of the new Spark here at Century 3, but we want you to get amped up about it too, and we thought the best way to do so would be to give you a few details of this unique new car.

From Motortrend:


The Spark is Chevy's new A-segment mini. Three other cars sold in the U.S. compete in this size category, and none is like this Bowtie A-car. It certainly has none of the cartoonish character of the Fiat 500, and it's more than $3000 cheaper than the op-art design, two-door hatchback Scion iQ, a car surprisingly substandard in its driving dynamics, especially for a Toyota product. The only competitor that comes close to the Spark's $12,995 price is the Smart Fortwo, a two-door two-seater that serves as a strong argument for the commuter biking movement.

The Chevy Spark, which goes on sale in August or September, is the only four-door hatchback in the A-segment with reasonably comfortable space for four adults. It is unique. A pure electric version is scheduled to hit the market next year.

The rear seat, with cupholders dividing left from right, has generous headroom and pretty good legroom, with a necessarily short seat cushion. The car is tall: one inch taller than the already upright Sonic B-car. With the Spark's rear seats up, there's not much more cargo space than in the Fortwo. But who combines grocery shopping with double dates? Flip and fold the rear seats and the Spark offers 31.2 cubic-feet of volume, Chevy says.

The Biggest Little Car You'll Own

Chevrolet has invaded the Mini Car segment, and it's done it with great finesse with the Spark.

The theme with this car is that you're getting more with less, and it shows. You get more style, more leg space, more MPG, more technology and more cash in your pocket with the overall amount of money you'll be saving!

The Washington Times reported about the Spark saying:


The 2013 Chevrolet Spark mini car, Chevrolet’s first mini car for the U.S. and Canadian markets, is a sporty four-passenger, five-door hatch. It is designed to excite first-time buyers and city dwellers with its bold styling and colors, affordability, the safety of 10 standard air bags, fuel efficiency and maneuverability.

Spark also is the only car in its segment to provide MyLink Radio - a seven-inch color touch screen radio capable of displaying smartphone-based music, videos, photos and contacts for hands-free calling. MyLink Radio comes with two embedded apps for Pandora internet radio and Stitcher Smart Radio and later, BringGo, an embedded app for full-function GPS navigation, will be available for purchase.
