2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 – Pickup With Features You Can Use

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

The Chevy Silverado series, considered one of the most dependable and long-lasting pick-up trucks is once again pushing the envelope with engines from 195 horsepower to 403 horsepower. The 2010 Silverado 1500 proves it is the vehicle to have winning the 2010 Vincentric’s Best Value in America Award for dependability and reliability in a full sized truck.

Manufactured by General Motors, the 2010 Chevy Silverado will be a popular truck amongst businesses such as general contractors. These companies can rely on the Silverado to deliver a solid drivetrain while hauling heavy loads.

With this recent addition, the 2010 Chevy Silverado will again uphold the features of comfort and durability that it has always been known for from its predecessor pre-2007 and classic Silverado models, a history that radiates durability, dependability, power, and adaptability.

The 2010 also offers customers the best fuel economy in full sized trucks in the country at 22 highway and all conventional V-8 engines can run E85 ethanol blended fuel or gasoline.

The 2010 Chevy Silverado is more than just a pick-up truck, it’s a truck designed for the modern era, while preserving a noted history from the Chevy Silverado editions known for their dependability and endurance.

The 2010 Chevy Silverado, a powerful pick-up truck, is offered in optional engine strengths. The 4.3-liter V6 engine generates 195 HP with about 260 lbs. ft. of torque. The vehicle is also marketed with a 6.20-liter Vortex V8 engine. The power generated has historically performed to satisfy the customer in need of a durable pick-up truck.

The customer can choose from two different interior designs: luxury, or a “pure” pick-up/work truck design. The luxury package offers leather seats, high-tech stereo and speakers, and many more features. On the other hand, a “pure” pick-up option has less interior features but what makes it significant is that the interior can be easily cleaned because of the high-class durable materials used. This option is appropriate for those who envision their Chevy Silverado as a “workhorse” pick-up truck.

The Chevrolet Silverado truck upholds a tradition of excellence in the field with its record of durability and endurance. The 2010 Chevy Silverado continues that legacy.

2010 Chevy Malibu Hybrid = Wallet Friendly

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

The Chevy Malibu is well known for being a great family car, and it also has bragging rights with its fuel efficiency pushing 33 MPG. That basically equates to about 500 highway miles on one tank of gas. If you’re thinking that’s nearly “hybrid” type numbers, your right, but it doesn’t mean you should pay extra for something that will only give marginal results.

The fact is GM is providing hybrid like efficiency without trying to charge hybrid prices. If there was a significant gain in efficiency, then it would be a different story, but that is not the case. You can sense that GM is making a smart move here despite the media crawling all over them about not offering the hybrid version of the Malibu but when it doesn’t make sense why should you pay for it.

There is so much media influence these days that it’s really tough to get unbiased information so that leaves the consumer having to do much of their own research. The dealers are able to provide good data, and those that do will be able to win over the buyers who may be just browsing. By providing useful information that new car buyers can collect and then interpret based on their own needs and interests, it allows people to not only learn about the cars but more about why the manufacturers make the decisions that they do. The media can always spin it, so having access to the information will allow you to filter out the information you need.

When you are looking at a vehicle its clear that mileage is only one factor in the decision, while other factors may be interior appearance, utility, and features you like. Finding a vehicle that is within your budget involves having some knowledge about your driving habits, distance you live from work, and number of miles you drive each year. By carefully analyzing and perhaps reducing your driving habits you can then afford to consider whether mileage is as important as having a luxurious interior.

Chevy Volt – Dealers Taking Deposits In Anticipation

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

When considering a vehicle, an electric powered car that doesn’t have the limitations of relying solely on batteries, everyone wants to know how much and when they can buy one.

The Chevy Volt isn’t being produced yet, but GM can certainly see the demand over  the web and in showrooms.  The car is much more likely be a popular model if there is competition and anticipation over its arrival.  The Volt hasn’t been built, however there are dealers who are taking deposits and trying to offer a vehicle that has an unclear launch date.   It is very encouraging to see GM coming out with a vehicle to rival the competition which is mostly the Toyota Prius.  

The Volt is different in the way that it generates it’s electric power through the engine.  The engine, which is a E-85 powered generator that provides the Volt’s electricity to an electric drive unit.

The batteries are sustained through the vehicles ability to recharge them through it’s electric drivetrain.  The car has been designed to minimize the use it’s battery pack, which involves an electric motor that is running to keep the charge.Unlike most hybrids, the Volt isn’t one becuase it has only one drivetrain, which is an electric one.  The use of this type of system is great for small trips.
