But since 2007, the number of Top Safety Picks has roughly doubled each year, going from just 23 ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038472_front-wheel-drive-and-hybrid-planned-for-next-chevrolet-impala http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038472_front-wheel-drive-and-hybrid-planned-for-next-chevrolet-impala Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:54:00 -0500 General Motors' large sedan future was looking rosy until the U.S. government decided to vote in favor of new CAFE rules, forcing automakers to improve the average fuel economy of their fleets to 35.5 mpg by 2016. We were teased with all manner of rear-wheel drive and V-8 powered muscle cars, including sedans, coupes, and even a sports ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038433_finalists-picked-in-2011-chevrolet-volt-paint-naming-contest http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038433_finalists-picked-in-2011-chevrolet-volt-paint-naming-contest Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:42:00 -0500 General Motors first revealed the production version of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt in September of 2008 and ever since the original unveiling the car has appeared in the same silver exterior with an emerald hue. This will be the color of the first batch of production Volts but GM still needs a new and exciting name for it. Late last month GM ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038361_chevrolet-aveo-the-most-toxic-new-car http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038361_chevrolet-aveo-the-most-toxic-new-car Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:41:00 -0500 Do you avoid drinking out of clear plastic water bottles, using antiperspirants with aluminum, or cooking in non-stick pans? Use a water purifier and ionizer everywhere you go, always buy organic, mind your cold-water fish list, and have your tap water checked yearly? If so, we've found either a new source of anxiety in your life or a handy ..]]> http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/chevrolet_avalanche_2010 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/chevrolet_avalanche_2010 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:37:00 -0500 2010 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE STYLING | [7 out of 10] ForbesAutos: "a cross between a full-size SUV and a full-size pickup truck" Cars.com: "nearly as long as Chevrolet's full-size Suburban" Car and Driver: "Decent interior" It's GM's Transformer truck-since 2002 the Chevrolet Avalanche has taken the full-size pickup for an ...

The active centenarian recently became the oldest-known living owner of a new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. Despite initial concern from the sales associate, Coffman knew exactly what he wanted when he purchased the 400-plus horsepower, ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037503_drive-thrus-and-the-2010-chevrolet-camaro-not-a-good-match http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037503_drive-thrus-and-the-2010-chevrolet-camaro-not-a-good-match Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:27:00 -0400 A few weeks ago we posted some follow-up impressions on the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. While nearly everyone here at TheCarConnection.com loves the way it drives and performs, this time we took a slightly more critical look, in a week of errand-running and daily-grind commuting. To make it as blunt as possible: when you let that adrenaline rush ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037501_ugliest-cars-of-the-past-50-years-you-might-be-surprised http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037501_ugliest-cars-of-the-past-50-years-you-might-be-surprised Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:59:00 -0400 Think that the design of the Volkswagen New Beetle is more hideous than iconic? Apparently you're not alone. Business Week has posted its "Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years," including a number of models present and past, and the New Beetle is just one of the newer and still-produced models on the list. Others include the Cadillac ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037483_disgruntled-2010-chevy-camaro-owner-yep-hes-real-honest http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037483_disgruntled-2010-chevy-camaro-owner-yep-hes-real-honest Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:59:00 -0400 Here at TheCarConnection.com, we read a lot of automaker press releases. A week ago today, a pretty unusual one landed on our desks: GM was touting the text of a letter from a "disgruntled owner" of its new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. Surprise, surprise, the owner wasn't actually unhappy. Instead, it was a mock complaint citing all the wonderful ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037396_report-gm-delays-2011-chevrolet-cruze-launch-until-q3-2010 http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037396_report-gm-delays-2011-chevrolet-cruze-launch-until-q3-2010 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:23:00 -0400 General Motors' new global small car, the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, already has the weight of the company's hopes on its shoulders, but news that GM is planning to delay the North American launch of the car threatens to weaken anticipation for the highly-efficient small sedan before it even hits the streets. According to a new report, GM has ..]]>
