  • Genovation Extreme Electric (GXE)

    Genovation, an engineering skunkworks based in Rockville, Maryland, is working on an electric Chevrolet Corvette called the Genovation Extreme Electric (GXE). The company made headlines earlier in 2016 after initially setting the standing mile record for a street-legal electric car and then the land speed record. Those records were set using a prototype, based on a C6 Corvette, but now Genovation has given us a first look at the production model that’s due in late 2019. The relatively small crew at Genovation estimates it will require another two years of development before production...

  • 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback Detroit
    Sporty or blowing smoke? Chevy says diesel Cruze RS coming

    General Motors Company's [NYSE:GM] chief in North America said Tuesday the automaker plans on offering a diesel-powered version of the 2018 Chevy Cruze RS and—gasp—it may actually be fun to drive. "We designed these to be sporty, as you can see," said Alan Batey, President for GM in...

  • 2016 Chevrolet Camaro convertible
    6th-gen Camaro overtakes Mustang in monthly sales for first time

    It wasn’t long ago that Chevrolet’s Camaro consistently outsold the Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] Mustang. In fact, the Camaro enjoyed a five-year streak between 2009 and 2014. But with the launch of its sixth-generation Mustang, Ford suddenly had the edge and has been in front in the...

    People love to look back on the past with rose-colored glasses. We do this with everything from politics, to finance, to the world climate, and especially to automobiles. The thing is, cars today are better than ever and they're only improving. That doesn't mean the classics are bad. In fact, we...

  • Chevrolet Colorado ZH2 hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle

The concept, called the Chevrolet Colorado ZH2, made its debut on Monday during the fall meeting of the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA).

    GM prepares for C8 Corvette with ‘LT5’ trademark filing

  • 2017 Chevrolet Volt
    Chevrolet Volt may be sold in China as Buick Velite

    The main reason Buick didn't get the axe while General Motors Company [NYSE:GM] was reorganizing under bankruptcy is the brand's popularity in China. In 2015, Buick sold almost a million vehicles in China but just 223,000 in the United States. With all that success it's no wonder that Buick would...

  • 2018 Chevrolet Equinox

  • N2A Camaro 789 SS Convertible

    Prepare thine eyes and feast them upon this! What you're looking at is the latest creation from American coachbuilder N2A Motors. Under that bodywork sits a fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. It's now called the Camaro 789 SS, and that's because N2A has taken styling cues from Chevys of 1957, 1958 and 1959. To our eyes? It's a bit of a miss, though we've never been fans of taking a modern car and giving it retro-looking bodywork. We love old cars. We love modern cars. We even love old cars hiding modern powerplants, yet we've never found a modern car turned retro that's really worked from a...

    Legacy Classic Trucks returns with 1950s Chevy NAPCO 4x4

    Classic cars have never been more popular but the trend hasn’t pervaded the world of pickup trucks like it has, for instance, sports cars. That won’t be the case for long if companies like Legacy Classic Trucks, based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, continue to sprout up. You may recall the...

    How much horsepower does the new 2018 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 need to have? Poll results

    How much horsepower does the new 2018 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 need to have?

    It's no secret that current generation of the Chevrolet Corvette (C7) is going to exit with a bang thanks to the resurrection of the ZR1 nameplate. The question now is: How much power will the new 2018 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 have? We've spied a prototype of the new 2018 Corvette ZR1 entering GM's...

  • 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

    It may have been William Faulkner who once said--and we're paraphrasing--"The horsepower wars aren't even dead; they're not even past." Or maybe not Faulkner. Maybe us? In any case, Hellcats are still rolling, Ford's working on a new Shelby GT500 with ridiculous horsepower, and Chevrolet's about to unchain the new Camaro ZL1. Bragging rights are tough to come by in that class, but the ZL1 may have one up its cylinder sleeve: It can hit 60 mph from a standstill in first gear. Why? Because shifting is for suckers, and because it takes time which nobody wants to give up when heading down the...

  • Icon Reformer Chevrolet Caprice Classic
    Icon made a 6-figure Chevy Caprice, and it's glorious

    One of my dream machines isn't a new Ferrari [NYSE:F]. It's not the latest Porsche. It's not even something like a Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] Shelby GT350, or other modern high-horsepower muscle car. It's a Ford Crown Vic. You see, I drive on the Los Angeles freeway system and it's a terrible...

  • 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible
    Did GM make a mistake giving the 2017 Camaro ZL1 650 hp?

    Dodge made a statement when it unleashed its Hellcats with 707 horsepower. Naturally, GM answered that call with the new 2017 Camaro ZL1, which packs 650 horsepower. Last week we ran a fun Twitter poll with the question in our headline. While 67 percent of the respondents said no, 33 percent of you...

    2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 priced from $62,135

    When it comes to democratization of horsepower, you can’t beat a Detroit muscle car. The 707-hp 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat started the current trend with its base price of only $60k. Now the even more capable 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has picked up the baton with its starting price...

  • 1,100 horsepower Chevrolet Corvette Z06
    This could be the fastest C7 Corvette Z06 over the 1/4 mile

    It wasn't all that long about that a Chevrolet Corvette took more than 9 seconds to sprint to 60 mph, let alone 150 mph like this 1,100 horsepower beast of a 'Vette Z06 created by the folks at Advanced Modern Performance. All right, so the last time a Corvette leisurely ambled to 60 mph in 9...

    C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 crashes leaving Arizona car meet

    The owner of a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 recently found out the hard way why it’s never a good idea to do burnouts and speed on public roads. His car ended up a total wreck after he pulled some antics best left to a restricted area such as a track. As this video from YouTube channel Tucson...
