Chevrolet

In this era of so-called fake news and media bias, I try to remain unbiased when I get different vehicles to drive and write about. I’m supposed to tell it to you as I see it, without any preconceived notions.

Chevrolet has something very interesting that it’s showing off at SEMA360, 2020’s virtual SEMA tradeshow. On the surface, it looks like a painstakingly restored 1977 K5 Blazer. Under the hood, the vehicle is completely different than when it was stock giving up its 400 cubic-inch V8 engine for a new eCrate package.

When Chevy first announced that the new Trailblazer would be a small crossover rather than a mid-size SUV, die-hard fans of the original were up in arms. And while the new Trailblazer might not have the heft of its namesake, it’s a very good vehicle in its own right, and a much better representation of what people look for in a car today.

This fascinating educational film was commissioned by General Motors back in 1936 to show how cars were produced at the time. The 30-minute movie, titled “Master Hands,” takes us back in time to watch the production of Chevrolets – from forging molten steel for the engine block, to hand-assembling every component of the chassis and body.

We’ve spent a little time behind the wheel of the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 here, and it’s a pretty capable off-road truck. But one thing I’ve not really cared for since it first broke cover back in 2017 is the way its front end looks.

The prospects of mid-engine Corvettes hitting the roads is pretty damned exciting all on its own. But the idea that you can enjoy all of that power, balance, and handling prowess with the wind in your hair makes it even more appealing.

Now that we know what the mid-engine Corvette finally looks like, and have its basic specs, Chevrolet has now revealed full pricing details for the initial batch of Vettes headed our way in 2020. Initially, there will be three trim levels for the Stingray: 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT, with prices starting at $59,995, $67,295, and $71,945, respectively.

After years of speculation that Chevrolet would build the mid-engined Corvette that Zora Arkus-Duntov dreamed of, that day is finally here. The 8th-generation Corvette Stingray is different from top to bottom, riding on a completely new platform.

About 2 years ago, General Motors asked the NHTSA for a temporary waiver on certain safety equipment that is required in modern autos. It wanted to field a fleet of around 2,500 Chevy Bolt autonomous cars for a ride-sharing program that had no controls inside for humans.

Let’s face it. The folks over at Hennessey Performance are insane. They build cars with way more power than they really need or can use much of the time. Take the new HPE1200 kit for the C7 Corvette ZR1.

After all the rumors, speculation, and spy shots that have floated around, Chevrolet is finally going on the record that the Corvette C8 is coming. They recently revealed a camouflaged car image, with big “07.18.19” stickers on its doors.

Corvette fans have been waiting in anticipation for the unveiling of what has long been rumored to be a new mid-engine C8 Corvette. While there have been lots of sightings of the car under camouflage, word is that the new Vette’s official reveal has been delayed for three big reasons.

The current generation Corvette (aka the “C7”) has been around for about 5 years now. Chevrolet has new generation of Corvette in the works. We have seen an alleged prototype C8.R before, and a whole fleet of test mules showed up in Southern California last week.

If you were to show the front end of the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD to a bunch of auto journalists, most of them would find something to dislike about the truck’s front end. The new design has certainly polarized car guys and gals who either find it attractive or hideous, with few in between.

When a good friend of mine was invited by Chevrolet to attend a two-day performance driving school, I took advantage of the chance to tag along even though I’m not a Corvette owner, meaning I’d have to pay my own way.
