Chevy Cruze rolls off assembly line in red, white and blue

billkaychevrolet — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 15:05:16 +0000

General Motors Co. today celebrated the domestic production launch of its much-anticipated 2011 Chevrolet Cruze in Lordstown, Ohio.

GM, which is 61 percent owned by the U.S. government, made a patriotic display out of the event — producing red, white and blue models of the Cruze, which replaced the Cobalt at the Ohio plant.

In a statement, GM North America President Mark Reuss said, “Of equal importance, we are working to redefine the views on a domestic carmaker building such a car here in the United States.”

The Cruze already has become Chevrolet’s top-selling car globally this year before it reaches the U.S. market, with 165,000 sold worldwide. GM executives have said they are confident the sedan will have equal success in the United States when it reaches showrooms in late September.

In fact, Chevrolet already plans to have models of the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla available on dealer lots to give customers a firsthand comparison when test-driving the Cruze.

10Best Surprise: Plastics Make the Chevy Volt’s Interior Possible

billkaychevrolet — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 15:03:55 +0000

We’re spending the week driving 60-plus new cars in order to decide our 2011 10Best list. When that many cars are gathered in one place, many of which we haven’t driven before, there are bound to be some unexpected discoveries. Be sure to check back throughout the week for more 10Best surprises, and look for our annual 10Best issue to hit newsstands on December 7.

Plastic is like oxygen; although it’s everywhere, one seldom thinks about it. It is probably the most ubiquitous material of the modern age but it’s hardly ever mentioned except in a derogatory way. There are no plastic medals in the Olympics. There is no plastic standard to which people aspire. And in cars, plastic is usually disguised as burled walnut or carbon fiber or anything but what it is. That’s why it’s refreshing to see plastic used as plastic in the interior of the Chevy Volt.

Chevy Suburban celebrates 75th Anniversary with Diamond Edition

billkaychevrolet — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:51:53 +0000

Happy 75th birthday, Chevy Suburban!

The Suburban began life as the Suburban Carryall in 1935, a two-door utility vehicle with a wooden roof that cast a footprint no larger than a modern Chevrolet Malibu sedan. It was outfitted with a 60-horsepower, six-cylinder engine and cost just under $700 — a pricetag that would barely fetch an Aveo in converted 2010 dollars. It had seating for eight, but GM Heritage Center manager Greg Wallace pointed out that “people were smaller back then.”
Although the body style and wheelbase eventually grew larger, respectively, the six-cylinder engine continued to power the Suburban Carryall until 1955, when a V-8 became optional for the first time. And it was only in the mid-1960s that the Suburban became available with four doors, and the “Carryall” moniker was dropped.

After that, as they say, the rest was history: the four-door V-8-powered Suburban set the pulse for the Heartbeat of America virtually unchanged from 1973 until 1991. By the time the current GMT-900 Suburban was introduced in 2007, the Suburban’s overall length had ballooned by 39.1 inches, and its basic level of kit would shame even the most luxurious of the ’30s Suburban’s competitors.

With so much invested in the Suburban nameplate, Chevrolet marketing manager Mark Clawson stands firm that it will stick around for years to come.

“There’s no sign of the Suburban name going away,” Clawson said. “The Suburban name will definitely outlive me, as well.”
