The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Spotted

The new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C was spied as it took a trip through Michigan, and so far it looks incredible. It was covered pretty well, but we can tell it's going to to be a game changer once it is officially released. What do you think so far?


Yes, the first wave of 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 spy photos broke long ago, but as Chevy’s latest and greatest sports car inches closer to production, prototype cars are apparently becoming an increasingly common site on public roads. 
Case in point? A CorvetteBlogger reader bumped into a Corvette testing group in Holly, Michigan, roughly 19 miles north of General Motors’ proving grounds in Milford, Michigan. The video and photos show little we haven’t previously seen, but no matter – it should still be enough to pique the interest of Vette fans nonetheless. 
It’s impossible to hear much over the video’s wind noise, but the poster claims the C7 prototypes emitted a familiar small-block burble from the tailpipe. No surprise, given our Sneak Preview story suggests that, contrary to early rumors, the next Vette won’t offer a V-6 right off the bat. Expect Chevy’s next-generation small-block to displace close to 5.5 liters and produce close to 440 hp in base form. That engine will likely boast both cylinder deactivation and direct fuel injection.

The Chevrolet Impala Hits the 2012 New York Auto show!


The new 2014 Chevrolet Impala stole the show at this years 2012 New York International Auto Show. With a new design, unique style, and the addition of some eye-catching technology, the new Impala is sure to please many drivers. What do you think of the new design?
The 2014 Impala debuts with a new, muscular design that calls on equal parts Malibu and Camaro to create a look that Chevrolet says "looks much more expensive than it is." Classic Impala design cues, such as the leaping Impala emblem on the C pillar and the raised Impala lettering on a rear chrome bar, blend with the more modern Chevrolet design language to create a large sedan that, while a bit visually busy from certain angles, is athletic and muscular. 
Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system will grace the Impala's dashboard with its large 8-inch color touch screen, keeping the driver and passenger informed and entertained. Skip the MyLink system and you'll still find yourself looking at a smaller 4.2-inch display. And keeping the passengers safe are a selection of new safety features, including full-speed-range adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, forward collision alert, lane-departure warning, side blind-zone alert, and rear cross-traffic alert. There's also an industry first front-center side airbag that, aside from being a mouthful, inflates between the front seats in a side collision to keep the front passengers from re-enacting an episode of the Three Stooges and knocking heads together.

The New and Improved Chevy Traverse!

The 2014 Chevy Traverse has taken on a new face, as well as some fundamental changes for the better. Not only has the grill been upgraded, but the so has the engine behind it. Drivers will feel the power of a V-8 with better fuel economy of a V-6, and will have more space than any other car of its size on the inside. What do you think of the new Traverse?
Chevrolet Traverse, a three-row crossover, gets some fairly significant styling changes for 2013, including a new front end that Chevy says will be the example for others to come. 
The front has one of those bulging "powerdome" hoods, a new grille design with chrome accents, new headlights and sculpting meant to tie it to the new Malibu sedan for a "consistent family resemblance." We guess that means you won't be left asking, "Who's your daddy?" 
In the rear, Traverse gets redesigned taillights, and the license plate position is moved into the tailgate.

Chevy Let's Out A Sneak Peek Of The 2014 Impala

Chevrolet leaked a shot of the 2014 Impala, which is to be fully revealed in in next months New York Auto Show. Chevy hopes to attract more individual customers, as it aims to reestablish the new Impala as a family car. Take a look, what do you think so far?

Chevrolet aims to make the 2014 Impala a showpiece, a car that demands attention. The company promises to deliver style, value, fuel economy, comfort and handling, Clark says. 
GM only provided me an industry teaser photo for this column. It goes into production later this year at General Motors’ Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant, which also builds the Chevrolet Malibu and Volt. 
“They need to use this car to get people who don’t think about Chevrolet to consider the brand,” said Jim Hall, managing director of 2953 Analytics in Birmingham. 
Full-size family sedans like the Impala once dominated the American market, and the Impala was top dog. Chevrolet sold a record 889,000 Impalas in 1964, not counting station wagons.

A Sneak Peek at the 2013 Chevy TrailBlazer!

The Chevy TrailBlazer is back in full force, and it looks like we can expect a few changes to the 2012 edition.   We'll have to wait for it to come out to see everything it boasts, but for now we can enjoy a small peek before it is fully unveiled at the Dubai Motor Show.
After taking a few years off, Chevrolet's TrailBlazer is back in Thailand. We got a sneak peek of the 2013 TrailBlazer last year at the Dubai International Motor Show, and it will debut next week at the Bangkok International Motor Show. It will go on sale first in Thailand this June; global markets will follow. 
The body-on-frame midsize SUV, which is based on the Chevrolet Colorado, returns to the brand after a three-year hiatus. Like its predecessor, it will be available in rear- or four-wheel-drive configurations. It will launch in Thailand with two four-cylinder turbo-diesel powertrain options: a 150-horsepower 2.5-liter and a 180-hp 2.8-liter. They'll be paired with five-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions. 
GM hasn't confirmed TrailBlazer for the U.S. market, though its unlikely. The automaker did say that additional powertrains for specific markets will be announced later. If it makes its way here, a diesel for the U.S. isn't so far-fetched though, considering the Chevrolet Cruze diesel will soon be available here.

Chevy Truck Month Is Here!


March is Truck Month. You need a pickup truck that works as hard as you do. Like Silverado, with unsurpassed available V8 fuel economy of any full-size pickup.

It's another reason to get behind the wheel of an award-winning Chevy truck or crossover.Click to Read More

Chevy Revs Up The Comedy With New Ads

Chevrolet has taken a new approach to their ads, and have started an "Office" spoof mini series. "Under the Blue Arch" is a comedic series surrounding the lives of members of a Chevy dealership who go through day-to-day dealership experiences, but with the twist of a mockumentary TV series. You can check out all of them on the official youtube page, or you can take a look at the first episode below.



“Under the Blue Arch” is a comedic series that follows eight fictional characters around during their day-to-day operations at a Chevrolet dealership, and if you think this concept sounds all-too familiar, you’re right. Randall Einhorn, director of hit shows including “Modern Family” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” directed the string of advertisements for the new ad campaign, which mimics the mockumentary style of another Einhorn-directed television show, “The Office.” 
Off-the-wall characters range from a former radio host turned salesman to the top-selling single mom. Other quirky characters include: Tom, “the boss”; Kyle, “the new guy”; and Rich, the “top gun,” but you can meet the rest of the characters by visiting http://www.facebook.com/UndertheBlueArch, or watching the video below.
