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.

Hot off the press, the latest spy photos of a zebra clad 2009 Chevy Comaro. Hot!

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?

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.
