Chevrolet just released a teaser showing its new Chevrolet Silverado HD, which is set to launch in 2019 as a 2020 model. Like all heavy-duty trucks these days, it looks mean. Like, really mean.
The 1980s weren’t a great time for sports cars, with engines choked with smog equipment, tall final drive ratios killing acceleration, and other questionable fuel-saving equipment making cars suck more than they needed to. The “Doug Nash 4+3,” a four-speed manual on the Chevrolet Corvette with push-button overdrive in…
The 2019 Chevrolet Camaro just dropped, and holy crap does it look nuts. But while the headlights and that wild grille are the most obvious alterations from the 2018 model, The General made some hardware changes for 2019 as well, including suspension and brake goodies for the 2.0-liter base motor.
I’m not exactly sure what Mitch Smith Chevrolet of Cullman, Alabama did to piss off the Ice Gods, but, damn, they must have done something. That’s the only way to explain this bombardment of baseball-sized hail beating the crap out of their Camaros and other Chevys.
The Chevy Citation is a deeply, richly boring car. It’s name is a synonym for a traffic ticket, and it just goes down from there. It may very likely end up on Meh Car Monday at some point (it’s coming back, I promise), but it’s got one strange little design detail I can’t quite wrap my head around.
If societal norms and insurance costs didn’t exist, my garage would be pretty wild and stupid. Im sure many of you are in the same boat. Everyone has that car that the dream about but for whatever reason, they can’t buy one just yet. Homeowner’s Associations, plain ol’ reason and more can get in the way of automotive…
I’m a big fan of re-badging cars to something weird or unexpected or unfamiliar. It helps keep the population on their toes, exercises their curiosity glands and their brains. It’s like putting cat treats in puzzling boxes for your cat, only instead of cat treats it’s cars, and instead of cats it’s gearheads. Same…
The current-generation Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is sold as a 650-horsepower supercharged track weapon, yet that hasn’t been the case for owners who have had the car go into limp mode on track. More Z06 owners have brought a fourth class-action lawsuit against General Motors over this issue, complete with claims that a…
In 1973, Joe Girard sold 1,425 new cars, which according to Guinness is the most cars ever sold in a calendar year by a single human. The tally stood for decades. But a salesman in Dearborn, Michigan, claims to have surpassed that record last year, and Girard, now 89, isn’t too happy about it.
Storage units are great for all of the stuff you should get rid of but can’t because it’s sentimental, or all of the stuffy furniture and decor you’ll definitely display once you’re able to afford a mansion with three living rooms. Storage units are not great for a 2009 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 that’s barely driven 700…
As I do more and more of these Meh Car Monday articles, I’m realizing there’s a spectrum of meh that these cars fall into. Some are capable, well-made, and functionally decent vehicles, but just lacking any sort of character or soul; that’s about the best a meh car can hope for. At the other end are cars who derive…
A reader named Frank sent me an email a few days ago, drawing my attention to a vehicle that I never knew I needed: a 1991 Ford Aerostar. With a stick.
Why the hell do people buy old-ass cars from the 1960s? They cost too much, for one thing. They’re unreliable to operate as a daily, with their pesky two and four barrels. They stop like shit. And most of the time, they smell like a Shell station. Designed by guys who fought Hitler and Tojo with a half smoked Lucky…
Everyone knows owning a car involves much more than the purchase price. There’s taxes, insurance, registration fees, gas, and maintenance, among other costs, which means that the price tag for new cars can sometimes be almost beside the point after years of ownership. Kelley Blue Book is here to help, crunching the…
It has come to our attention that Chevrolet is off to a booming start this year in the United Kingdom, where it reportedly sold a total of one—yes, one—car last month. Notably, that’s one (1) more than its U.K. sales a year prior. Not bad!
Oh my God, my friends, even though this happened on Friday—a whole four days ago—I’m still relishing the instant karma I was fortunate enough witness go down while I was driving. I can’t wait to tell you about it.
We are in the middle of a bitter cold winter, and as automotive enthusiasts we share a largely universal hatred of snow and ice, right? I’ve personally inflicted damage to bumpers, differentials, and control arms, thanks to icy roads. Perhaps I’d have been better off with a traction-enhancing spray on my car’s driven…
Today at a press event hosted at the Texas Motor Speedway for Chevy Truck’s 100th anniversary, Chevy surprised attendees by flying in the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado by helicopter and lowering it onto the stage. Our own Bradley Brownell was in the crowd and managed to get a few pics of the newest Silverado generation.…
People who know him call him Dave. You probably know him by the eponymously-named company, J.D. Power and Associates, which I used to think was fake. It is not. It is extremely real and, I have learned, one of the most hilarious threads running through the multi-trillion-dollar auto industry.
