Chevrolet Impala is proud to say they have been going hard for more than 50 years. Respect and loyalty come with along with age and the Impala defiantly has gained some fans. Even after five decades, the Chevrolet Impala is the 7th best-selling car in the United States. Selling almost 290,000 vehicles in 2006, numbers do not lie when it comes to this favorite family sedan. With just a couple nips and tucks here and there, the Impala has not been altered all that much.

If you are looking for a Chevrolet Impala or any other used cars for sale in Houston look no further than Russell & Smith Ford. They have the biggest inventory of any of the Ford dealerships in Houston.

The most recent and considerable modifications to the Impala were to the major modifications to the interior materials to make it more current and a smooth new exterior when changing the tail-lights to a more energy-efficient and current guise. Recently Impala has been swaying on the border of being behind the curve. With capacity to seat 6, a silent ride, and loads of trunk space all that we are asking from the Impala is to modify the interior just a dash more. The base line trim for the Impala is the LS which features sixteen-inch wheels, dual-zone air-conditioning, tilt steering-wheel and full power accessories just to name a few. The top of the line is the LTZ which consists of 18-” alloy wheels, power and heated front seats, performance suspension and so much more. The LTZ is fine equip and does not have countless add-ons. The performance and beloved fans keep this large sedan in competition all the newly designed sedans. Still enduring as America’s sweetheart, the Impala has been around for five decades. If you are worried about safety, this magnificent sedan scored a 5 out of 5 stars for just about all impact areas. A couple little adjustments are needed for the interior. With that being the only downfall, this vehicle is a perfect suitor for your new family vehicle.

The Cruze – Can GM Get The Compact Car Right?

Posted: under Auto Industry News.
Tags: , , ,

GM will roll out their next generation of compact cars this September. Again? Another attempt at the industry segment they just can’t seem to get right. Yes, “General Motors thinks it can finally sell a good small car,” says Tom Krisher of the Associated Press.

This better be the case. GM has a long, embattered history with the compact car market. Think of the Corvair, or the Geo. Or even more currently the Cobalt. Ah, and even the old-school Vega. Just the thought of these unsafe heaps makes me cringe

Maybe this new Cruze line will be the answer GM needs. Only 105,000 Cobalts were sold last year. This pales when compared to the numbers posted by the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla. Don’t think GM doesn’t notice. They know they are strong in the Truck and SUV segments, but they lose big time when it comes to compact cars.

Is GM out of touch with today’s youth? I mean, really, their average buyer is 51 years old. This could explain the out-dated, sleepy Cobalt they mistakenly threw into the game. Maybe they learned something from Scion and Mitsubishi, who tout average buyers around 40. Those guys definitely win with the younger crowd.

So is the Cruze the answer? Can it be a winner in this segment? Will the competition snuff it out? Will it be able to catch the attention of the hip, young shoppers? Who knows. After all, “They can’t afford to get it wrong,” says Micael Robinet, an automotive analyst with CSM Worldwide in Michigan.

The Cruze was designed in Korea by Daewoo, a division of GM. It was engineered in Russelsheim, Germany and will be assembled in plants around the world. It is 180 inches long and powered by a new family of direct-injection, turbocharged four-cylinder engines that range from 1.4 liters to 2.0 liters. Recent test drives do show it to be quieter, nimbler, and more robust than anything GM has ever brought to this category.

It may be nicer looking, have a better interior, and pack a better punch that its predecesors, but is is quality? If GM expects younger buyers to look at the Cruze, it will have to compete with the Corolla and the Civic for quality. GM thinks they have this worked out. They plan to invest in quality, saying they have learned people will pay a bit more for superior dependability. They even held up production several months because managers were unhappy with performance.

GM plans to ask around $17,000 for a base model Cruze. Even though this is more than most of the competition, they claim it has a lot more standard features. There will also be a package with leather seats and other gadgets that starts around $22,700.

Tom Krisher of the Associated Press cites Tom Stephens, GM head of product development as saying the company has tried to make sure the Cruze will be better than Honda’s Corolla or Toyota’s Civic. We will see when it hits the showroom.

Chevy On Top Again With The 2010 Camaro.

Posted: under Uncategorized.
Tags: , , ,

Used Chevrolet Jacksonville Tahoe becoming the an excellent fleet for Chevy for a year. While used Chevrolet Jacksonville FL or Crossovers may have been able to accomplish some of these jobs, none would complete all of them like aChevy Tahoe. Its strong capability, superb comfort, high-quality stereo system and CD player and an interior anyone would be happy with made it a excellent selection for a lot of SUV shoppers. But with the brand new car of the present being the Chevy Camaro, what will happen to the used Chevolet Jacksonville Florida?
Underneath the latest Camaro 1969 looking body is a shortened version of General Motors Zeta blueprint, used on large rear-drive sedans like the Pontiac G8. This architecture supplies the Camaro witha stupendous four wheel independent suspension for more aggressive handling and much stouter look. Just a coupe body style is available, but there is some chat of a new rag top coming soon.
The newly arrived 2010 Chevy Camaro is a home run. Auto critics acknowledge that it is not only the great looks that gives it luster, but also the all around presentation of the monster. Additionally to its highly praised retro outside design, the 2010 Camaro is outfitted with a powerful 304 hp. V6 engine and very competitive streamline performance. The interior is plagued by the uncomfortable rear seats and no room for anyone getting stuffed in the back.
The V8 with a manual transmission makes an astonishing 426 hp. The automatic transmission produces about 26 less horsepower than the manual transmission.
In actual tests of manual transmission, 0-60-mph sprints of 6.0 sec. with the V6 and 5.0 seconds for the awesome V8.
The Hot New Camaro is the easy pick among car enthusiast for those who enjoy spirited driving, thanks to its unbeatable combination of horsepower, ample grip and refined suspension tuning. It even has more poise to give luxury performance coupes like the AMG Mercedes and Infiniti G37 some struggle. We just wish the experience wasn’t like driving a really agile tank. The base V6 Camaro feels quick and sounds real, a great steal at somewhere just above a meer $ 22,000.

Diesel Voyager Truck

Posted: under Auto Loans.
Tags: , , , , , ,

Both diesel cars and light trucks are receiving many attention in the united states as a near term strategy to achieve fuel economy and climate change goals.

The renewed fascination with diesel as of late stems from its potential to enhance passenger vehicle gas mileage.  The top diesel passenger vehicles nowadays will be more efficient on fuel than their gas counterparts, helping reduce carbon emissions by thirty % or maybe more.

There are several auto makers which are referring to re-introducing diesel into light duty markets like a solution for reducing climatic change pollution from both cars and trucks.  Another necessary reason is that the higher efficiency of diesels will provide a quick fix for manufacturers who’re struggling to meet federal gas mileage standards for light trucks.

Even though the efficiency advantages of diesel do yield real-world improvements about the economy, the possibility climate change benefits are modest. Though diesel achieves more miles per gallon than gasoline, lots of people are worried about the impact that diesel passenger vehicles have about the economy.  From time to time, the combustion in the engine can cause black emissions to spit from the exhaust, that is actually very bad for the economy.

Even though gas is really the worst, diesel is taking strides to boost engines and also the impact on the economy.  Diesel is getting more and more popular these days, as gas prices always rise and rise.

Although diesel engines may have an effect on the economy, they are ideal for all those looking to conserve mileage.  Diesel vehicles cost more than gas vehicles, whilst they will offer you a lot more than you may expect.  If you are searching for a good quality ride, diesel is the way to go.

Make sure you also see my other lead on diesel pickup truck and lifted chevy trucks.

A Quick Look Into The Chevrolet Aveo

Posted: under Auto Industry News.
Tags: , , ,

General Motors’ Chevrolet division is the brand in which the Chevrolet Aveo is marketed.  It’s been crafted as a subcompact vehicle that is marketed not only in the united states and in the rest of North America but it is also sold and offered worldwide.  It has been said that this vehicle came from 2 vehicles which are the Daewoo Kalos and the Daewoo Gentra.  The Daewoo Kalos was first produced back in 2002 and it was promoted using the Chevrolet Aveo name from 2004 up until 2006.  As per the Daewoo Gentra, this auto came into production just last year, 2005, and plans for this auto are that come 2007, it is going to be then known as the Chevrolet Aveo. 

Last year, the Chevrolet Aveo’s model for 2006 was introduced to the public in Shanghai.  However , as per this vehicle’s debut in Europe, this was made possible during the Frankfurt auto show.  General Motors claim this vehicle is sort of considered to be all new though one could spot that it still shares some parts with the outgoing 2005 model.  It still held the same windscreen, two windows, and some large sections of its body structure.  It also holds a crisp and clean styling which is one of the changes that Chevrolet automobiles are sporting around. 

as specified by the power the Chevrolet Aveo holds, interested parties could actually select between two engines.  There is a 1.2 liter engine and a 1.4 litre engine.  However , the decisions does not end there for the Chevrolet Aveo.  Of course , the Corporation has made sure that shoppers and Chevrolet Aveo owners could spruce up their cars with features and packages.  As per standard gear for the auto, the list includes air-con, power windows, power locks, and power side mirrors. 

the price of the Chevrolet Aveo is not found on the high end.  In truth, it is one of the least expensive cars around.  Despite the incontrovertible fact that it is cheap, the Chevrolet Aveo is pretty much capable of delivering and performing well.  Each passenger is given a pleasurable experience inside the cabin.  Also, drivers find the Chevrolet Aveo a vehicle that’s very fun to drive.

If you can have any car in the world, what would it be? Visit thesupercars.org for information and specs on the greatest cars in the world, also take a look at GMC Acadia.
