New Chevrolet Camaro 2009 Reviews

The Camaro is Chevrolet’s sport coupe that returns to the lineup early in 2009 as a 2010 model after a seven year absence. Originally debuting as a 1967 model, the Camaro was Chevrolet’s entry into what would later be called the “pony car” segment and although the new Camaro is a modern design with modern technology, it boasts styling cues that connect it with well-known Camaro designs from the past. Although it has always been available with options to suit a wide range of sports-coupe buyers, performance has been what the name Camaro brings to mind for most people. The Camaro continues the muscle-car tradition as a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe with available V8 power. A modern interpretation of the classic original, the Camaro is based on the same platform as the Pontiac G8, which was agile and quick in our tests. The base Camaro has a 300-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6, and the V8 is available in two flavors.

Chevrolet Equinox 2009 :New Crossover Boasts Up to 30mpg at 2009

Chevrolet Equinox 2009 2010, This new crossover comes with a huge tank, giving the Equinox a range of over 500 miles on either engine. I just turned 7,000 miles in my 12 months of ownership of my 2007 Chevy Equinox LT. I love this car/truck. It is perfect for my 4 year old daughter and I. Everywhere I go people ask me how do I like it and the Dark Ruby Metalic paint with the narrow spoke high polished chrome rims just make it stand out at the light. The Pioneer stereo system sounds great and I love the side air bags that mine is equiped with. The only thing I wish was designed into this vehicle is a sunroof that popped up as well as slides. Mine only slides back. That is the only thing that I would change about this vehicle. Another great vehicle at a great value to the Chevrolet customer!Six airbags, four-wheel disc brakes, stability and traction control, OnStar, and XM Radio are all included. A remote that fires up the HVAC optional heated seats is also standard.The vehicle is claimed to get 30 highway miles per gallon on the small engine, and 21 mpg in the city, making future soccer moms everywhere a little bit happier. The larger engine choice gets 25/18 mpg.Options under the hood comprise of a 2.4-litre inline four with 182 hp, and a 3.0-litre dual-overhead cam V6 with 255 hp. However, Chevy believes nearly two-thirds of customers will select the smaller, more fuel efficient model.

Chevrolet Traverse 2009

This car came with several things we didn't really need but are nice to have. This car is basically the same as the Saturn Outlook, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave but cheaper than the rest. This car rides much nicer than the Saturn in my opinion. The back-up camera works well and the Navi system is nice but takes some getting used to. Overall we love this car!

New 2009 Aveo 5 : Reviews and Specs

The Aveo5 gathers speed modestly, but a light clutch and reasonably precise five-speed manual transmission make it feel peppier than it is. At speed, there’s more road noise than you’ll find in Chevy’s larger Cobalt or Honda’s similarly sized Fit, but it’s not bad – and not far from luxury car levels just a few years ago.
And glance inside quickly and you might be forgiven for temporarily thinking you were indeed in an older luxury car. Chevy’s poorly named Neutral interior scheme combines nicely with a contrasting black dashboard and convincing faux wood. The low sheen materials look upscale (though a quick touch reveals that you’re definitely in an economy car) and the design is a step above economy car norm – closer to small European cars not sold on these shores. Also reminding us of a European car was the radio volume knob that merely mutes the stereo when pressed – you’ll have to search for the power switch. That stereo head unit looks comically like a cheap Chinese copy of GM’s “bowtie” unit seen in virtually everything else The General makes these days – it’s clearly of the same vein, but the fonts and shapes are off ever so slightly.

The 2009 Chevy Silverado Two-Mode Hybrid : Reviews and Specs

The 2009 Chevy Silverado Two-Mode Hybrid (scheduled to begin production late 2008, with limited availability) is expected to provide the same dependability, power and performance you demand in a Chevy Truck. Plus, it's expected to feature cutting edge technology to help you through the rigors of your everyday life while being conscious of the environment. In the first mode, at low speed and light load, the vehicle can operate in three ways: electric power, engine power, or in any combination of electric and engine power. When operating with electric power, it provides all the efficiency of a full hybrid system. The second mode is used primarily at highway speeds to optimize efficiency. It provides electric assist in addition to four-cylinder or full eight-cylinder power when conditions demand it, such as trailer towing and climbing steep grades. Put another way, you'll experience the benefit of excellent efficiency while also having access to plenty of horsepower and torque. In either mode, it's a truck that works in the real world when being driven by real people and is one of the many ways Chevy is working to produce a variety of fuel solutions.

New 2009 Chevy Malibu Hybrid HY : Review, Estimated Prices and Specification

Chevy needs more cars like the Malibu. I can not believe that it is a Chevrolet!! I congradulate GM on a very fine job with the Malibu; I should point out the the 009 version has imporved baterry to up milage more; So far in local area driving I am gettin around 32 MPG and on Highway one shoud be able to get 40 (no joke). You have a certain amount of control with the instant fuel consumtion monitorl. Start at 60 mph and see how your milage is, if you want to bump it to 70 see how that goes. The handling and brakes are excellent, and the styling is very nice too. The 2009 Malibu Hybrid is a 4-door, 5-passenger family sedan, available in one trim only, the HY. Upon introduction, the Malibu Hybrid is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 164-horsepower, hybrid engine that achieves 26-mpg in the city and 34-mpg on the highway. 26 city/34 hwy is awesome for a car of this size and practicality. The interior is super comfortable and reflective of a car this much more expensive. GM has hit a homerun with this vehicleA 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. Gas mileage estimates for 2008 model vehicles reflect the Environmental Protection Agency's new, stricter testing methods. City MPG estimates have dropped by about 12 percent on average; highway MPG estimates by about 8 percent on average. City estimates for hybrids are about 20 to 30 percent lower; highway estimates 10 to 20 percent lower. Estimates may vary widely by model. The new testing accounts for factors previously missing or not fully considered, including high speed and rapid acceleration, air conditioner use, and cold-temperature operation. Standard Stability Control and ABS. Standard Onstar directions and connections with navigation. Great warranty. This is a great car for the money.

Estimated Prices
MSRP: $24,695
Invoice: $23,337

Pros:
the 2008 chevey malibu has the best fuel economy in is class. It all started as an experiment and it is catching a little notice because of the high fuel cost!Excellent look and comfort. Great Value! $4500 less than comparably equipped other hybrid car in this class. Smooth acceleration. Quiet quiet ride
Cons:
it makes any other 2008 mid size sedan worthless. The car is no horse power. This pretencious automobile is yet another 'yawn' attempt by Chevrolet to to give us the same old boring Chevy product. Why do all the Chevy vehicles look the same on the inside? It's very borish to drive, the ride is terrible, there is NO pickup in the engine, the only thing this car has going for it is the mileage....

2010 Chevrolet Cruze

While initial plans call only for a sedan, we fully expect hatchback versions to be added in Europe and find their way to North America. European media are reporting the Cruze will be sold simultaneously with the Lacetti sedan, five-door hatch, and wagon, for about 18 months before the older car is phased out. In the U.S., expect a similar scenario whereby the current Cobalt is offered as a 2009 model through June 2010, and is built alongside the 2011 Cruze in Lordstown until the Cobalt is phased out.

The Cruze was engineered at GM’s Russelsheim, Germany, development center, and was designed in Korea by GM Daewoo. The car will be assembled in plants around the world, including the U.S. and Mexico, various parts of Europe including Russia (GM is building a new plant in St. Petersburg), South Korea, and Brazil. The Cruze will be powered by GM’s new family of direct-injection four-cylinder engines, likely ranging in displacement to 2.0 liters, and we expect some to be turbocharged. They should be good for about 40 mpg, or better.

The European lineup of powertrains includes 112-hp, 1.6-liter and 140-hp, 1.8-liter gasoline engines as well as a new 150-hp, 2.0-liter turbo-diesel. Five-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions will be offered

New Chevrolet Optra 2009 Reviews, Estimated Prices and Specification

Wow, I am currently looking for a vehicle. This sedan is the new look of Chevrolet and it is better looking than Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima or Altima which looks like the transformers or monsters and Honda Accord. The fuel consumption of this car is efficient at 32MPG, just like a compact. It's a winner by GM!

An intuitive instrument layout and countless storage compartments promise a very inviting driving environment. The Optra Magnum boasts class-leading storage capabilities with a boot space that is large enough to fit four golf bags, while the Estate features storage space of up to 400 litres, expandable to 1,410 litres with the rear seat folded down, perfect for those leading an active lifestyle. A new in-car radio system with standard four stereo speakers delivers crystal-clear audio quality for an exciting driving experience. The Optra Magnum features highly functional, visually attractive European-styled interior with an ergonomically laid out instrument panel with large easy-to-read gauges with a metallic finish. The standard deluxe cluster includes a tachometer, speedometer, odometer, trip odometer, fuel gauge, coolant temperature gauge, and an interior lighting dimmer control.
In its class, is the best (out of 3) you can get here in mexico just under the mitsubishi lancer and mazda 3. It is built very solid, it comes with full equipment from air conditioning to air bags. The engine (130 hp 2.0lt) is not the most powerful in this category but it does not disapoint neither on power or economy. It's cheaper than mazda3 and lancer, its why i bought it. Acceleraion is reasonable, and i shows great responsiveness when shifting gears down, but its maximum cargo is so low. Braking is great, and the brake pedal is high, might be somehow annoying to new drivers, bu you'll ge used to it. hand brake is sof and has almost no sound, and holds the car good.seat position is high, which might give you false impression about the road, and the suspension is so soft. he car is stable at high speeds, but the cabin noise starts to be high beginning from 110 km/h. driving while having windows opened is also annoying as air gets ino the cabin from low speeds beginning from 60 km/h.The steering wheel is responsive, sharp, and gives you adequate sensation to the road. Seats are comfy and have medium support, and the cabin is large, it can have 5 adults in great comfort.the sound system is fair, but the speakers are less than predicted, and the controls are reachable for the driver and the passenger, and are easy to use. The DOHC engine in all its sizes shows geat responsiveness, but somehow lacks torque, and the fuel consumption when the rpm are kept less than 3000rpm is very good, but higher the consumption goes on rapidly.The stability is great, and the car gives you false impression about its speed.the styling is accepted, but the car would have looked better if it was wider. Boot space is accepted and larger than many of its rivals, but the loading tip is somehow a bit high. Plastics used in the interior are of medium quality. h lights cover a wide range of the road. Front and rear bumbers can withstand small and medium hits with no malformation or breaks.

MSRP:
$20,320
Invoice:
$19,304

Pros — Fuel economy, equipment, capacity.
— stability, braking, steering and boot space.
Cons — noise at high speeds, quality of materials, and lack of torque.
-No ABS comes along with manual transmission models

New AVEO LT 2 2009

'm not a huge small car person, but this car is strange. I have no idea what chevy was thinking when they built the 1st models. The older ones are small.. and I mean small... the new 2009 ones aren't as small but they could make it a tad bit bigger. The big thing thing I've been hearing a lot of lately is that Chevy is planning on making the Aveo the next Cobalt. Overall, I think the cobalt has a much better apperance as well as the performance.
I am attached to this thing, its better than a vacation in Peru! When i first saw it- it was love at first sight! I traded my Porsche Cayenne for this Aveo and i will drive it for at least 10 years.
Pros — Style! Handling! Originality! Best Sound System ever!
— Great on gas. Great for a person looking to save money ( price tag is around 17,000 )
Cons — I get too many tickets
— Small wouldn't recommend anyone taller than 6'0, A mock-up of the cobalt

Chevrolet Optra Magnum 2009 2010 Review , First Look and specification

Interior

An intuitive instrument layout and countless storage compartments promise a very inviting driving environment. The Optra Magnum boasts class-leading storage capabilities with a boot space that is large enough to fit four golf bags, while the Estate features storage space of up to 400 litres, expandable to 1,410 litres with the rear seat folded down, perfect for those leading an active lifestyle. A new in-car radio system with standard four stereo speakers delivers crystal-clear audio quality for an exciting driving experience. The Optra Magnum features highly functional, visually attractive European-styled interior with an ergonomically laid out instrument panel with large easy-to-read gauges with a metallic finish. The standard deluxe cluster includes a tachometer, speedometer, odometer, trip odometer, fuel gauge, coolant temperature gauge, and an interior lighting dimmer control.

Exterior
The Chevrolet Optra Magnum will be offered in two body styles: the popular sedan and in its best-selling Estate version. Beyond its contemporary clean lines and overall quality fit and finish, the Optra Magnum maintains a supreme level of functionality and reliability. A new feature is the integrated signal lights on the side wing mirrors, a high-end design found commonly in luxury vehicles. Another upmarket feature is the set of manicure-safe chrome door handles that adds to the premium feel of the overall design.

Ride and Handling

The Optra Magnum's sophisticated four-wheel independent suspension, P185/55R14 all-season steel belted radials and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering is well-weighted, providing exceptionally composed ride quality and control that make it as fun to drive as it is economical to own and operate. The standard front suspension features MacPherson struts with offset coil springs and a stabilizer bar. A MacPherson strut dual link suspension with coil springs and a stabilizer bar is used in the rear. This set-up provides smooth, precise cornering, while minimizing body roll. Stopping power is provided by standard power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, including 256mm ventilated discs up front and 258mm solid discs in the rear. Large tandem power brake boosters provide a solid pedal feel. An advanced four-channel, four-sensor ABS system is also standard.

2008 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 : First Look, review and specification

The car’s platform is the already stellar Z06 Corvette that features an aluminum chassis and 505 horsepower from a 7.0-liter small-block V-8. The ZR1 takes the next step and uses forced induction by means of a new Eaton 4-lobe supercharger mounted on a revised 6.2-liter V-8. Horsepower isn’t known yet, but claimed to be well above 600.
The Z06 is a superb track car, and the ZR1 is really pushing the Corvette envelope to the limit. But unlike the Z06, which is all about track performance, the ZR1 retains more civility thanks to Magnetic Ride control that gives varying degrees of damping—allowing the car to switch from comfort to sport with the push of a button.

Optra Magnum 2009 part 2

As one of the family member of Chevrolet, Estate also follows to experience of change of face. Very similar to Optra Magnum, change of radical happened in its frontage with a couple of wide lamp aside. Bigger Grill also make Estate come up more sporty. If natural Optra Magnum of engine replacement, do not that way the things of with Estate. Machine of E-Tec II 1.598 cc used by is After do not experience of change is at all. This machine nowadays is also used by Optra Magnum. But don't hope to find control climate in dashboard like at Optra Magnum. Chevrolet Estate still maintains entire/all its interior. So also with velg of have diameter to 15 inch which remain to previous defended like. People say sport variant with velg 16 inch will be attended later. Without following of General Motors Autoworld Indonesia ( GMAWI) at Indonesia area of International Motor of Show 2008, roll-out of Estate will be performed in early July come after Aveo. Price which on the market still is equal to price of Chevrolet Estate circulating in this time. Even have time to blow news that is new Estate have been ordered in Chevrolet dealer.
