There's something wrong with Chevrolet's new lineup. The more expensive the cars get, the worse they become. I went to a Chevy Test drive event, and tested their entire lineup to find out why. Comprehensive Reviews after the break.

If you purchased a 2012 Chevy Sonic you might want to check and see if the car's brake pads are all there as GM now admits they may have shipped as many as 4,296 of them without them. Also, they're not notifying anyone until mid-January. Happy New Year!

Chevy's econobox may not look like the embarrassing Korean crapwagon called the Aveo that once filled high school parking lots, but its sudden improvement in the looks department doesn't mean we still wouldn't want to see one launched off a 100-foot-tall stack of shipping containers.
