Is the Dashboard of the 2010 Chevy Equinox Ageist?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:35:25 +0000

At the recent Orange County Auto Show I got my first up close glimpse of the all new for 2010 Chevy Equinox. This is a hugely important model for GM to get right as it is one of its first after its bankruptcy debacle which resulted in the Government buying 60% of the shares. I musts admit that based on the exterior styling and class leading ...

The Models that GM Needs to Kill - Now

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:33:46 +0000

With any good Hollywood Celebrity sometimes a little bit of the fat needs to be sucked out. The same is true of the sweating, 300 pound gorilla known as General Motors. But while GM has previously given up brands that still had value to the firm (Opel, Saturn ) it is time to let bad mistakes be bygones. What we have to deal with is the model ...

The Future of the Kappa Platform

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 07:00:17 +0000

Look at this car. Is it or is it not absolutely gorgeous? In case you couldn't tell, I want one. I haven't even driven one, but I still know I want one. When I can afford it, I will have to go hunt for a used one, because it seems GM is positive that this car has to die. That's the part I don't understand. It's a good platform, if ...

The Chevy Volt: Coming Out in 2011?

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 08:44:46 +0000

The new Chevy Volt: A 250mpg car able to run up to 40 miles on battery power only: It just sounds too good to be true to me. You don't need to be very educated to realize that a car with such indicators could easily turn upside down today's auto industry-let alone the entire car parts infrastructure and services- in the United States and in ...

Can You Relive Your Youth with the new Chevrolet Camaro? Review Part II

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:18:27 +0000

This is Part II of my 2010 Camaro review. The outside of the 2010 Camaro has had me smitten since the first time I laid eyes on the Camaro concept . It was the interior that always gave me pause. I just felt the pods for speedo and tach didn't make for a great place to while away the hours on the road. I was pleasantly surprised when I ...

Car Review: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro RS V-6

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:53:00 +0000

During the muscle-car heyday, long-hooded coupes that weren't powered by a honking V-8 were derisively labeled as "insurance beaters" or "secretary's cars." Not much respect was given to those who might choose a Chevrolet Camaro , Ford Mustang , or Dodge Challenger for reasons other than performance. Such buyers were either poseurs who ...

Can You Relive Your Youth? 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Review (Part I)

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:56:21 +0000

I was fortunate to own a Chevrolet Camaro in my youth. That gray 1986 model covered a large span of my early adult years: The end of high school, college, my first real job job after I graduated and the purchase of my house. When I saw the concept Camaro that foretold this 2010 model, I was impressed. It was a nice mixture of old school ...

Test Drive: 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:38:07 +0000

The Cobalt has been presented to us by GM as the American answer to the Corolla/Civic crowd. Once again, GM claimed that this time "they got it right". It looks fine. The front end even reminds me of some German car. But some details actually make the car look cheaper than the competition. Like the lines that separate the bumpers from the ...

The fifth generation Camaro is currently flying off the showroom floors and perspective buyers have a few model choices when it comes to decision time.

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:08:47 +0000

We all know the current Impala is a shell of it's former self.

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 23:24:00 +0000

After all the hype and anticipation the last 10 years or so have brought upon the automotive world, the new Camaro has finally been delivered to dealerships across the country.
