]]> Chevrolet has released 2 teaser pictures for their upcoming green vehicle the 2010 Volt.  This will be the first electric vehicle for the domestic manufacturer and this is NOT a hybrid.  Furthermore, if you can't get away with charging this green machine you can always put tried and true gasoline in the tank to get by.  It's a win/win/win.

Here are the released photos from Chevy on the 2010 Volt.

]]> Chevrolet has announced that they will be brining a new itty bitty car to the US, the 2010 Chevy Cruze.  This new ankle biter is expected to produce up to 140 horsepower and do so making 40 miles per gallon.  Personally, I'll believe this when I see it, since emissions equipment will have a huge toll on what that little engine can do.  USNews reports that the Chevrolet Cruze will be equipped with a 1.4 liter turbo charged engine.

There are some preliminary spy pics of the Chevrolet Cruze in European markets, but expect it to change before the 2010 US release date.

]]> I can't help but notice the influx of large SUV's and big trucks in used car lots and peoples front yards.  I mean, gas is bad yeah, but there always be a need to pull something or haul a ton of dirt, so now is the time to buy.  GM and Chevrolet feels the same way and are showing it by offering some bigger incentives to match the girth of the vehicle.

Previously GM was offering up to $4,000 in cash incentives to new SUV and big truck buyers, but sales just keep falling.  Now GM has announced up to $6,000 in incentives for vehicles like the Chevrolet Silverado.  Seems like a good deal to me, but I already have a 9 mpg SUV with a 5.9l V8...taking up residence in my front yard.

]]> Holy Christ!  The all new 2009 Chevy Corvette is sporting some serious horsepower and other performance upgrades that makes my pants tighter.  According to Chevrolet the all new 09 ZR-1 comes with a super charged 6.2l V8 with 638hp and top speeds of 205 mph.

Expect nothing but down to business speed and performance with this special edition 09 Corvette, the ZR-1 comes with some extra goodies.  For starters you can expect to see a carbon fiber hood, which puts the 2009 Corvette in the same class of some super cars at a price tag of $100,000.

Despite it's price, Chevy expects to sell 2,000 09 Corvettes the first year it reaches the show room floor.  Hell, I'd be in line right now if it weren't for the existing holes in my pockets.

]]> India will be getting a treat later on this year when Chevy decides to release it's Captiva in an automatic. Two versions will be available, including a regular gas guzzling engine and diesel. The diesel would be India's first diesel soft roader.

I'm not exactly sure what that means, but it looks hot.

]]> What has taken Chevrolet so long to bring this mid-size SUV to market? Everyone else has a competing model in the uni-body structuring, interior size, performance, but now the 2009 Chevy Traverse will carry a $28,000 base price when it finally hits the market.

Looks like a very elegant mid-size SUV worthy of any urban traveler. Expect upwards of 280 horse power from the 3.6l V6 power plant.

]]> I'm tired of people trying to make me feel guilty about driving an SUV and to be honest I feel a little guilty using as much gas as I do. However, an SUV is such a wonderful utility vehicle that would require me to own multiple vehicles (thus being worse on the environment) than just owning one that consumes a little more than the average auto. Thanks to Chevy it may be a moot point.

Chevrolet announced that they will be releasing the  Tahoe and Yukon in Hybrid versions. This means that I can now have the towing power and capacity to do what I normally do, but now with a environmentally conscious engine!

It's gonna cost me though, in the neighborhood of $50,000+ but at least it's an option. Check out what the boys at the Boston Herald have to say about this leap in hybrid technology.

]]> Personally, I think it's the ugliest vehicle in the States and should lumped into the same category of the Toyota Scion. The sad part is that the Scion is a throw away car targeted at the disposable youth and the HHR seems to be targeting small town soccer moms. Am I wrong?

What's new in 08 for the Chevy HHR? According to major news outlets the HHR has received a number of safety recognitions, including 5-Star side impact ratings. In addition, the HHR was the highest ranked SUV by the NHTSA during roll over testing. Funny, the HHR doesn't even show up on my radar when someone whispers SUV. (oh well)

]]> It's another crossover from the people at Chevrolet and they are deeming it 'BOLD'. I'm not so sure I would consider the styling cues of the new Chevy Uplander as 'bold'. It looks like a beefy minivan to me, but I'm not into that style anyway. I'm sure it rides just like a sedan, as they claim, but at what cost?

Chevy Uplander

This is going to be a front-wheel drive vehicle with a mild 3.9l V6. Amazingly enough the engine is expected to pump out 245 horse power and be available in a FlexFuel model. So, for all you fans of yellow you can get one that accepts that E85 go juice.
