CAR REVIEW | Chevrolet | The Chevrolet, or Chevy, is one of automobile brands produced by General Motors Company (GM). Chevrolet was founded by Louis Chevrolet and ousted William C. Durant, the founder of General Motors on 11/3/1911. General Motors (GM) acquired Chevrolet in 1918. The Chevy was positioned by Alfred Sloan to sell a lineup of mainstream vehicles to directly compete against Henry Ford's Model T in the 1920s, with "Chevrolet" or "Chevy" being at times synonymous with GM. Chevrolet sells and produces a wide variety of automobiles in North America, from subcompact vehicles to medium-duty commercial trucks.

In 1912, when Durant sold the Chevy shares to McLaughlin, Durant had an idea that McLaughlin was in full production building McLaughlin Cars with Buick power trains (15 year contract Durant had with McLaughlin). Durant felt he could have McLaughlin do with Chevrolet what he did with Buick, and had McLaughlin build his Chevys as well.

Starting in 1915 in 1916, Durant and the McLaughlin Brothers had traded Chevrolet stock at 5 to 1 and 7 to 1 and took over General Motors holding Company. McLaughlin had no worry about his Buick contract when Billy was back at the helm. General Motors started in Canada in November 20, 1907, McLaughlin and Durant started their company General Motors Holding Company in the USA September 16, 1908. McLaughlin is never addressed by the Ken Kaufmann papers or build documents but takes credit for the Bow Tie information published years before.

McLaughlin started the truck the 1919 Chevrolet and General Motors in 1916 became a public company. McLaughlin traded at $ 500,000.00 Buick that had shares traded during the McLaughlin stock on November 20, 1907. This investment by McLaughlin McLaughlin and Durant gave greater ownership of General Motors and Chevrolet in Canada is building the Chevrolet.

Before any official announcement, reports began running during April 1965 within the automotive press that Chevrolet was preparing a competitor to the Ford Mustang, code-named Panther. On June 21, 1966, around 200 automotive journalists received a telegram from General Motors stating, "...Please save noon of June 28 for important SEPAW meeting. Hope you can be on hand to help scratch a cat. Details will follow...(signed) John L. Cutter – Chevrolet Public Relations – SEPAW Secretary." The following day, the same journalists received another General Motors telegram stating, "Society for the Eradication of Panthers from the Automotive World will hold first and last meeting on June 28...(signed) John L. Cutter – Chevrolet Public Relations SEPAW Secretary." These telegrams puzzled the automotive journalists.

On June 28, 1966, General Motors (GM) held a live press conference in Detroit’s Statler-Hilton Hotel. It would be the first time in history that 14 cities were hooked up in real time for a press conference via telephone lines. Chevrolet General Manager Pete Estes started the news conference stating that all attendees of the conference were charter members of the Society for the Elimination of Panthers from the Automotive World and that this would be the first and last meeting of SEPAW. Estes then announced a new car line, project designation XP-836, with a name that Chevrolet chose in keeping with other car names beginning with the letter C such as the Corvair, Chevelle, Chevy II, and Corvette. He claimed the name, "suggests the comradeship of good friends as a personal car should be to its owner" and that "to us, the name means just what we think the car will do... Go!" The new Camaro name was then unveiled. Automotive press asked Chevrolet product managers, "What is a Camaro?" and were told it was "a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs."

Chevrolet Corvette


Chevrolet Corvette | Car Review | The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car by the Chevrolet division of General Motors (GM) that has been produced in six generations. The first model, a convertible, was designed by Harley Earl and introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type of small, maneuverable warship called corvette. Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette is currently built in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The National Corvette Museum documents the car's worldwide history and hosts the annual event.


After six long and beautiful generations, the Chevrolet Corvette is just as much a hot commodity as it was in 1953 when the first concept was rolled out for all to see. This American-made sports car comes in four different trims: Standard, Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1.


The standard Corvette and the Grand Sport are both powered by a 6.2L V8 engine that pumps out 430hp and 424 lb-ft of torque. Add the upgraded exhaust system and the models get 436hp and 425 lb-ft of torque. The Grand Sport differentiates itself from the standard model with a few upgrades, Z06 styling cues, and its won gear and rear-axle ratios. The Corvette Z06 is powered by a 7.0L V8 engine producing 505hp and 470 lb-ft of torque and the newer ZR1 boasts a 6.2L supercharged V8 delivering 638hp and 604 lb-ft of torque to the table. - CAR REVIEW

Car Review: 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche

Car Review: 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche - 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche adds a standard transfer case for 2-speed 4WD LTZ, body-color mirrors LS, which is available 20-inch chrome wheels and three new exterior colors: Steel Blue Metallic, Mocha and Steel Metallic Blaze Orange Metallic. -car review

ConsumerReports.org: 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche is a full-size truck equipment cabin with a cabin bed and unified. This allows an innovative partition can be folded to expand the landfill at the rear of the cabin. The ride is comfortable and quiet. The 5.3-liter V8 provides decent acceleration but is thirsty. There is a large blind zone defense. -car review

Professional: 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche moves and handles very well. It is comfortable and both my wife and I really like. There. In fact, this is our third avalanche.-car review

Consumer: There are two things about 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche: access to the truck bed is difficult for my wife because she is only 5 feet tall. Our Avalanche was the first step in a footprint in the bumper that you could use to help acessing back. The last two avalanches. Chevrolet needs to solve the problem. Ford, for example, has solved this problem with a folding ladder arrangement, which helps when the tailgate is down. Fuel consumption can be improved. -car review

2011 camaro

2011 camaro
the new generation Camaro from General Motors has done a very good impression, we have recently seen the new 2010 Camaro Coupe giving life to the Autobot Bumblebee in the film Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, part of GM’s advertising strategy. However, their economic situation has led her to take two additional versions, the Camaro Convertible and Z28 high-performance variant.In the case of the Camaro Convertible, a few weeks ago I told you it was confirmed for release in 2011, and regarding the Camaro Z8, the group of fans Camaro5 have information that the project remains on the table Z28 GM and could be also released in 2011.

It would be a year and perhaps double recovery debut for GM, the Z28 come in the spring of 2011, shortly after the Convertible, whose ideal scenario release might be in Detroit. Some of the details can be elucidated from the Z28 is that it will have more power than the SS, a special treatment to the hood and grill, and decorative graphics Z28.

Reports say the Camaro Z28 that the design is complete, but the project has not been able to advance because of low sales expectations for the high unit cost. As for motor plans, had thought about the LSA V8 based on the Cadillac CTS-V, with 556cv (414kW) and a 0-100k / h less than 4 seconds. At present only speculation, we should expect official announcements and so we know what GM’s doing with the Camaro Z28.

Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf: Obama wants one million electric cars on the US road in 2015

Chevrolet-Volt
Chevrolet  Volt and Nissan Leaf: Obama wants one million electric cars on the US road in 2015; A Million Electric Vehicles: Back in January, during his State of the Union speech, President Obama said that he wanted the U.S. to “become the first country to have one million electric cars on the US road,” and he wanted it to happen by 2015. Given current sales of the Chevrolet  Volt and Nissan Leaf, the president may hit his target . . . sometime in 2064.

Nissan-Leaf

In May, U.S. car sales for the much-hyped Chevrolet Volt totaled 481. Nissan Leaf did better, with 1,142 units sold. That’s a grand total of 1,623 electric cars sold for the month. At that torrid rate, it will take about 639 months, or a bit more than 53 years, for domestic sales of electric cars to reach 1 million.

Obama wants electric cars by 2015, but 2064 is a more realistic estimate.
