Chevrolet

With a lineup that includes some of the bestselling cars, trucks and SUVs sold in America, Chevrolet is routinely one of the bestselling brands in the US market. A refresh to the Camaro and Malibu along with new versions of the Corvette, Silverado and Impala join forces with the likes of the Volt and the Spark EV to offer an incredible range of performance cars and super efficient models in the same showroom.

Just like the first 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and the first 2015 Corvette Z06, the first production example of the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray – which is the first retail unit ever with the new 8-speed automatic transmission – will head to the Barrett Jackson auction block to raise money for charity.

The folks at Car & Driver have recently released the results for their 2014 Lightning Lap in the October issue and the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 turned in one of the most impressive times – beating the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a long list of very expensive, very respected sports cars from around the world.

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has received some changes that should help it further dominate the premium sports car segment, but a “stop delivery order” issued by General Motors will prevent buyers from picking up their 2015 model year Stingray until a few issues are addressed – further emphasizing GM’s push for improved safety and overall quality.

Last month we talked about the possibilities of a C8 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 sporting a mid-engine design and the Zora name and today, more information has surfaced – suggesting that the mid-engine Zora ZR1 Corvette is indeed on its way and it might be coming for the 2017 model year.

The information for the 2015 Ford Mustang, 2015 Dodge Challenger and 2015 Chevrolet Camaro is pretty much all available and while the world is focused on the higher performance models, I thought that this would be a good time to compare the most affordable versions of the three American muscle cars – in their entry level, V6 forms.

Later last night I saw what I believe to be a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS near the General Motors Proving Grounds and when the driver climbed into the throttle as he or she sped away, it sounded pretty healthy – very much like the C7 Corvette Stingray which pulled out behind it and quickly climbed to speed as well.

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has quickly become one of the bestselling sports cars in the world, but the long term test vehicle belonging to the folks from Car & Driver blew an engine just 6,000 miles in – and the problem is one that could affect other C7 Corvette owners under very normal driving conditions.

While General Motors hasn’t had much (or anything) to say about the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, we can make guesses as to what we will see when the 6th gen F Body arrives by looking at the features of the current Corvette – including the new 8-speed automatic transmission that will make the Camaro quicker and more efficient.

Over the past few months, Corvette fans have been flocking to Bowling Green Kentucky to see the eight historic models damaged during the sinkhole collapse before those cars were shipped back to GM for repairs, but after careful consideration, it has been decided that only 3 of the 8 cars will be repaired and sadly, the sinkhole exhibit in the Skydome will be sealed up.

In the past few days, the image above of what many believe is the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro has been circulating around the internet and while most people are passing it off as just another rendering, some people are reposting it as being an actual image of the 6th gen Camaro and sadly…those people are very wrong.

GM's fuel economy announcement makes it official. The Toyota Tacoma has fallen behind in the compact truck market's new battleground.

I have crunched the numbers for August 2014 sales and although Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sales dipped a bit last month, GM still sold enough C7 Corvettes to both crush the Dodge Viper and outsell the entire lineup of Porsche cars – making the Stingray once again the bestselling premium sports car sold in the USA.

The Nissan LEAF and Chevrolet Volt have been duking it out for the title of best-selling plug-in since their nearly simultaneous debuts. The LEAF has recently claimed dominance, but both had a great month of August.

Sales numbers for August 2014 are in and for the 5th month in a row, the Chevrolet Camaro has bested the Dodge Challenger and the Ford Mustang – making it the bestselling sports car in the US and helping the Camaro to continue to build its lead in an effort to win a 5th straight sports car sales title.

General Motors does not currently market the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in the Chinese market, but thanks to grey market importers, there are a few new Corvettes available for sale in China – which will set you back at least $273,237 American dollars based on the current conversion rates.

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette was offered in four basic trimlines with three equipment groups for each and through the entire model year, the Z51 3LT coupe is the most popular configuration of the C7 Stingray – while Torch Red was the most commonly chosen color among the 37,288 2014 Corvettes sold.

General Motors recently offered up a breakdown of sales figures for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and with 37,288 units built for the first model year of the C7, 2014 was one of the best model years for Corvette production in the past few decades – with more Corvettes built for 2014 than were built for 2012, 2013 and most of 2011 combined.

General Motors has issued a recall for the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro and several other GM vehicles over a concern that the bolts holding together the steering assembly and portions of the front suspension may not have been properly tightened – possibly leading to a sudden loss of control while driving.

We announced last week that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 comes with a stunningly low base MSRP of just $78,995 and after receiving a few complaints about me referring to the new super-Vette as a bargain, I wanted to offer up a closer look at how the new Corvette Z06 compares to other cars with similar performance and/or a similar price.

Over the past few years, General Motors has failed to offer a proper luxury model Silverado, but the 2014 Silverado 1500 High Country solves that problem in a very big way – offering comparable comforts to the likes of the Ford F150 King Ranch and the Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition

General Motors fired a shot heard round the automotive world this morning with the announcement that the 2015 Corvette Z06 pricing starts at just $78,995 – easily making it dollar for dollar the best supercar bargain in the world.

General Motors has offered up the first figures for the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with the new 8-speed automatic transmission and as expected, the newest self shifting Stingray is both quicker and more efficient than the 2014 Stingray with the 6-speed automatic – improving an already amazing sports car and likely making it even more appealing to those shopping for a high performance car.

While covering the rumors that the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro could pack a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, we have received quite a bit of feedback from readers who don’t see the need so I wanted to take a quick look at why General Motors “needs” to offer a 4-cylinder engine – at least in European markets.

One of the most exciting features of the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is the new Performance Data Recorder that can help make the most of track days or spirited romps along a country road but when coupled with the new Valet Mode – the 2015 Corvette can show and tell owners whether their car was abused when left with some questionable parking attendant.

According to reliable inside sources who spoke with the folks at Motor Trend, the next Corvette ZR1 could be unique from the current C7 lineup thanks to a mid engine design – and this could be the car which wears the Zora name that was trademarked earlier this year.

A while back we reported that there would likely not be a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder after Camaro boss Al Oppenheiser stated that there would not be a 4-cylinder Camaro any time soon – but new reports and insider information now leads us to believe that maybe GM does have a turbo 4 in the works for the 6th gen Camaro.

If you were planning to make a trip to Bowling Green Kentucky to visit the National Corvette Museum to view the 8 cars damaged by the sinkhole back in February you had better plan your trip very soon, as the first of the Great 8 – the Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil – is scheduled to head to Michigan for a full repair in early September.

A handful of American tuning companies have helped the new Chevrolet Camaro Z28 but for European owners who need more power from the best handling GM muscle car ever – German tuner Geiger Cars has a package that ups the output to 620 horsepower.
