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 ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037329_video-drunk-driver-confused-plows-into-wrong-house http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037329_video-drunk-driver-confused-plows-into-wrong-house Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:40:00 -0400 How's this for a bad dream: you're lying in bed at 4am, fast asleep next to someone you love, when a Chevy Aveo comes crashing through the wall and pins you to the mattress, coating your PJs in engine fluid and cutting off circulation to your extremities. For two Nevada college students, the nightmare was real. Thankfully, they've lived to ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037008_gm-invites-public-to-name-2011-chevrolet-volt-paint-color http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037008_gm-invites-public-to-name-2011-chevrolet-volt-paint-color Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:32:00 -0400 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 first batch of production Volts but now GM needs a name for it. Starting today, GM is launching an online ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036802_what-does-your-car-say-about-you http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036802_what-does-your-car-say-about-you Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:15:00 -0400 Here at TCC, we don't put much faith in astrology, phrenology, or any other system that assigns personality traits based on birthdays, hat sizes, or anything else that hasn't been chosen. Instead, we prefer data that stems from personal preferences: what does your favorite color, website, or rock band say about you? The New Vehicle Experience ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036614_gm-ramps-up-for-2011-chevrolet-cruze-and-volt-production http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036614_gm-ramps-up-for-2011-chevrolet-cruze-and-volt-production Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:04:00 -0400 General Motors is investing more than $230 million in four plants in the greater Flint, Michigan area to support the production of the upcoming 2011 Chevrolet Cruze and 2011 Chevrolet Volt, a move that will form more than 500 jobs. The four plants include Flint Engine South, Flint Metal Center, Flint Tool & Die and Grand Blanc Weld Tool ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036470_chevrolet-exec-confirms-next-gen-impala http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036470_chevrolet-exec-confirms-next-gen-impala Mon, 12 Oct 2009 07:50:00 -0400 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/1036334_this-week-in-camaros-z28-not-a-sure-thing-dealers-get-2011-convertible-preview http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036334_this-week-in-camaros-z28-not-a-sure-thing-dealers-get-2011-convertible-preview Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:41:00 -0400 This week's informative GM Fastlane chat session with General Motors VP of Chevrolet Brand Brent Dewar tells us the Camaro Z28 isn't guaranteed for production--contrary to earlier reports--and the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible was shown off to dealers this week, and "will come out soon." The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro has been a hot seller for ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036306_2010-chevy-camaro-surprisingly-refined-predictably-bitchin http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036306_2010-chevy-camaro-surprisingly-refined-predictably-bitchin Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:27:00 -0400 Through this year's upheaval at General Motors, the buzz around the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro has stayed strong. Many months now since Camaros first started arriving, they're still driving traffic around Chevy dealerships. And on the road, as we recently experienced, it still makes people turn and look--with a grin. It's easy to see why. ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036132_zeta-based-chevrolet-caprice-cop-car-coming-in-2011 http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036132_zeta-based-chevrolet-caprice-cop-car-coming-in-2011 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:12:00 -0400 An all-new Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV) will join the ranks of law enforcement departments across North America in 2011. General Motors confirmed the news today at the annual International Association of Chiefs of Police convention, in Denver, Colorado. The announcement also ends months of speculation that the Pontiac G8 may ..]]>
