The Chevrolet Trax – a compact SUV – has been revealed and will make its debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. We’ve already seen the Buick Encore in the US become the Opel and Vauxhall Mokka in Europe, and now it’s to morph again in to the Chevrolet Trax, a compact SUV for GM to sell under another […]
Vauxhall Ampera & Chevy Volt win European Car of the Year 2012. Are they mad?
The Vauxhall / Opel Ampera (& the Chevy Volt) has won the European Car of the year 2012. Which seems completely stupid. Last year we had a car that almost no one is buying – the Nissan LEAF – voted Car of the Year. And having set a precedent for barking mad choices on a COTY panel, […]
Chevy Volt production stopped as sales falter
General Motors has announced that they’re halting production of the range-extender Chevrolet Volt as sales falter. The Chevy Volt is General Motors’ car of the future (and sister car to the Vauxhall Ampera) with a range extender engine and the ability to run on a plug-in charge. And GM proclaimed it as the future of […]
2012 Chevrolet Camaro arrives in the UK – priced from £34,995
The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro hits the UK – as a Convertible or Coupe – with a 6.2 litre V8 and starts from £34,996. There’s no substitute for cubic inches, or so American car lovers would have us believe. And if you share that sentiment you can now get yourself a Detroit Muscle car in the UK, […]
Chevrolet Cruze Estate: The Cruze Station Wagon arrives
The first photo of the Chevrolet Cruze Station Wagon – the Cruze Estate – has been revealed ahead of a launch at next month’s Geneva Motor Show. Smallish Estate cars are not exactly something that floats the average American car buyer’s boat. But it’s a different story in Europe, which explains why GM has decided to bolt a small shed on the back […]
Opel / Vauxhall Ampera on hold over Chevy Volt fire
With the NHTSA investigating Chevy Volt battery fires, the debut of the Opel/Vauxhall Ampera has been put on hold. If you ignore the price, we’re all in favour of the range extender hybrid option as the most elegant solution to electric cars. But new technology is not without its problems, as GM are finding out with the Chevy Volt. […]
New Chevrolet Aveo (2012): Starts at £9,995
Over a year from the production reveal of the 2012 Chevrolet Aveo, Chevy announce the new Aveo will cost from £9,995 in the UK. It’s taken a very long time for the (now) 2012 Chevrolet Aveo to make it from production reveal – at Paris 2010 – to a reality in UK showrooms. But Chevy has finally got it together […]
Chevrolet Mi-ray Concept Seoul Debut
GM has revealed the Chevrolet Mi-ray Concept at the Seoul Motor Show, and open two seater with 2 electric motors and a 1.5 litre 4-pot turbo. GM are big in Korea, make no mistake. Well, South Korea, certainly. So big are Chevrolet in Korea that they rank only behind indigenous makers Kia and Hyundai, and Seoul is […]
Chevy Volt to take on Vauxhall Ampera in Europe
It’s been revealed that GM intends to sell the Chevy Volt alongside the Opel/Vauxhall Ampera in Europe – and at a lower price. They’ve been hyped for a very long time – the Chevy Volt and Vauxhall Ampera – and 2011 is the year that both hit the roads. You don’t have to be an out […]
Chevrolet Cruze Hatch revealed – again
Chevrolet reveal the Chevrolet Cruze Hatch, due to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show. And it seems to be the same Chevy Cruze Hatch they revealed at Paris. Chevrolet are working hard to make their offerings credible and appealing for Europe. Which we applaud. They’ve even gone so far as to brand a Chevy […]
