Chevrolet

Looking back in my glory days as a teenager I can still remember my first car. It was a fire red Chevrolet Camaro, pumped up with a full line of performance Chevrolet parts and accessories. My heart was broken the day they discontinued the Camaro, but recently has begun singing again once the concept pictures of the all new 2008 retro Camaro were released. I think the only thing that even comes close to that of the new Camaro concept car is the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette. Perhaps it’s the rumble of the Corvette’s 505 horsepower V-8, or maybe the new sleek European type styling; actually it is probably just the fact that American muscle is still alive and well in an era of economy and ultra strict emissions.
The American police force can’t be wrong; and neither will you if you are thinking of buying a new Chevrolet Impala. One of Chevrolet’s most popular selling cars in the late 50’s, the Impala is still going strong in today’s market as a high-performance Caprice Classic. Great horsepower and decent handling for both the V-6 and V-8 version, the Impala would be sure to give the new Ford Mustang a run for its money.
One nice little highlight of the year has to be the new Chevrolet Cobalt. This stylish compact has more choices of add-ons than vanilla ice cream sundae. They come with stand still underbody lighting kits, superchargers, ground effects, and upgraded suspension packages… and that is only scratching the surface of a super cool car with a base price of just over $12,000. A few steps below the Cobalt’s site rest the modest Chevrolet Aveo. Now this is not my favorite vehicle that has ever come out of the Chevrolet assembly line. Admittedly an all around sound vehicle that will get you from A to B; but Consumer reports puts it as, “the Aveo sedan and hatchback are simply) Daewoos rebadged as Chevrolets”, and this was not meant to a compliment!
