Chevy’s awesome Aveo to be on US roads in 2012

Hendrick Chevy brings some good news for all Chevy fans. Chevrolet’s small car Aveo’s production will start in Seoul, Korea next year and the U.S.-assembled version of the car will be rolled out in 2012. 

The US production of the Aveo at the Orion Township plant was reconfirmed last week.  Originally, the new Aveo was unveiled at the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January as Chevrolet Aveo RS, a concept car. It was later displayed in production form at the Paris show recently.

GM Daewoo has led the design and R&D of the new model as GM’s global mini and small car development base. Aveo with its solid fuel economy rating and spacious feature-rich interior is going to grab more attention than ever. And with its super competitive price tag it will be a strong contender for the economy car circlet.

The sales success of compact and subcompact fuel efficient vehicles is remarkable in US and across the globe. The new small and beautiful Aveo is likely to be introduced globally after it is rolled out in Korea in the first half of 2011.

Camaro - Head-Turning Car Under 25K

Road & Track has come up with a list of cars that play to a baser automotive instinct than the search for good fuel economy, spacious rear seats, or cupholders that accommodate juice boxes and Big Gulps. The 2011 Chevy Camaro was 1st on the list of cars that turn heads and get thumbs-up everywhere you go.

The best news is you don’t have to risk your credit rating—or the wrath of a significant other—when putting one of these beauties in your driveway. Driving a car that looks like a million bucks doesn’t mean you have to hand over a seven-figure sum to own one.

~~ 2011 Chevrolet Camaro ~~


What is it?
The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro is the American automaker’s red, white and blue-collar muscle car. Although the Camaro is available with a choice of V-6 or V-8 engines, sticking to our $25,000 price ceiling means you’ll have to opt for a less powerful model.

In the case of the Camaro, though, making do with the base 312-bhp 3.6-liter V-6 is hardly what we’d call a performance sacrifice. It’s plenty quick for daily driving. An entry-level Camaro LS comes with cruise control, power front seats, power windows and air conditioning, all for approximately $23,500. That leaves room in your budget for essentials, like optional racing stripes!

Why is it hot?
Introduced last year as a 2010 model, the Camaro still looks like a wild concept car. From its menacing blacked-out grille to its bulging rear fenders, American muscle cars don’t get any better looking than this.

Just don’t expect to see much of the outside world from behind the wheel. The Camaro’s low greenhouse looks cool, but it has blind spots big enough to hide a bowling alley. At least the steel wheels on the base model will be cheaper to fix if you hit a curb.

Click Here for our current Camaro inventory - if you do not see what you are looking for we can find it for you.

About Mark Martin

Birthdate: Jan. 9, 1959

Resides: Daytona Beach, Fla.

Hometown: Batesville, Ark.

Family: Wife Arlene; son Matt

In 2009, Mark Martin returned to full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup racing with Hendrick Motorsports to drive fast race cars and maybe, just maybe, win a race.

But the NASCAR veteran accomplished much more than that. At the age of 50, he garnered five victories and battled for the Sprint Cup championship, finishing second for the fifth time of his career. Martin’s success drew attention from fans of all ages – many who just wanted to see a Cinderella story come true.

With 2010 on the horizon, Martin is gearing up for another shot at the elusive Sprint Cup championship trophy from behind the wheel of the No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet.

Career History:

~ Dirt to Pavement to ASA

Martin began his racing career at the age of 15 in his home state of Arkansas. Competing on dirt tracks, he won in only his third start and that same year – 1974 – won the Arkansas State Championship. In 1976, Martin left his dirt days behind and moved to pavement racetracks.

In 1977, Martin started competing in the American Speed Association (ASA). He earned rookie of the year honors that year and went on to win the championship the following three seasons.

~ Introduction to NASCAR

The 1981 racing season saw Martin move into NASCAR’s elite series, and make five Sprint Cup Series starts in which he earned two pole positions and two top-10 finishes. The following year, in his first full-time schedule, he recorded eight top-10 finishes. Unable to continue funding his own team, Martin was forced to auction off his equipment and race for a variety of owners before returning to ASA competition from 1984-1986. He won his fourth ASA championship in 1986.

The thrill of NASCAR called again in 1987, and Martin agreed to drive a full Nationwide Series schedule. He earned three victories that season, which piqued the interest of car owner Jack Roush. In 1988, Martin and Roush joined forces, forging a working relationship that lasted 19 years.

During his time with Roush, Martin recorded 35 victories and won at all but six tracks on the Sprint Cup circuit. He earned 230 top-five finishes and 361 top-10s, earning a top-10 finish in nearly 50 percent of his starts. He also started from the pole 39 times.

Martin finished second in the Sprint Cup Series standings four times with Roush Fenway Racing, missing his first championship in 1990 by a mere 26 points..

While making a name for himself in Cup competition, Martin was setting records in the Nationwide Series. Though he’s completed just one full season of Nationwide competition – 1987 – Martin holds the all-time series records for most wins (48) and most poles (30). In 2006, motorsports media acknowledged his accomplishments by naming him the greatest Nationwide Series driver of all-time.

~ Cutting Back

Following the 2006 season, Martin committed only to a part-time Sprint Cup schedule. He was ready to spend more time at home in Daytona Beach, Fla., with his wife Arlene and son Matt.

In the two years that followed, Martin competed in 48 Sprint Cup Series races driving the Nos. 01 and 8 Chevrolets. He earned seven top-five finishes and 19 top-10s and also became a mentor for rookie drivers.

In 2007, Martin made his first Nationwide start for Hendrick Motorsports, driving the No. 5 Chevrolet led by crew chief Alan Gustafson. Martin further impressed Rick Hendrick by finishing second in that race at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. Martin went on to earn his first win for Hendrick the following year at Las Vegas Motor Speedway driving the No. 5 JR Motorsports Nationwide entry.

~ Joining Hendrick Motorsports

Hendrick’s admiration grew for Martin’s on-track skills as well as his ability to motivate and inspire his crew members. Hendrick decided to pursue the NASCAR veteran, and in July 2008, Martin announced that he would return to full-time Sprint Cup competition to drive the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports.

Martin did not disappoint in his first season with the powerhouse team and posted one of his career-best seasons with five victories, 14 top-five finishes and 21 top-10s. He also notched a career-best seven pole positions.

In his return to full-time racing, Martin challenged for the 2009 Sprint Cup championship. He opened the Chase as the points leader and maintained the top spot during the first three races of the postseason. During the final race of the season, Martin was the only contender with a mathematical shot to reach Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson, who ultimately scored his fourth straight Cup title.

Martin finished the season with several honors and notably was recognized as NASCAR Illustrated’s Person of the Year presented by Old Spice. He also earned the Sporting News’ Dale Earnhardt Tough Driver award. Martin was named to the All American Team selected by the Auto Racing Writers & Broadcasters Association and was nominated for the SPEED Performer of the Year title.

Late in the 2009 season, Mark Martin announced that he would return full time to Hendrick Motorsports through the 2011 season to drive the No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet.

~ Off the Track

A healthy lifestyle advocate, Martin spends much of his free time on his extensive physical fitness regimen. He is a licensed pilot, flying to and from racetracks around the country, and a successful businessman. In addition to other interests, he owns a pair of Arkansas automobile dealerships, located in Melbourne and his hometown of Batesville.

Kelly Bires

Birthdate: August 25, 1984

Hometown: Mauston, Wisconsin

Marital Status: Single

Height: 5' 6"

Weight: 120 lbs.

Resides: Kannapolis, N.C.



First I want to congratulate Kelly Bires and the Hendrickcars.com Chevrolet team. They finished 7th in Saturday’s Nationwide race in Fontana. The team started in 32nd Place – that is great teamwork!! This weekend in Las Vegas, Hendrickcars.com will again be the primary partner on the #88 car.

Kelly Bires became JR Motorsports’ newest talent in September 2009, signing with the company to take over the highly competitive and extremely visible driver’s seat of the No. 88 Chevrolets in 2010. He is the driver that is fully committed to NASCAR.

Bires was not necessarily a discovery by team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., but rather a sought-after up-and-comer that had credentials to boast. He will drive the #88 car in 2010 and 2011. He had already frequented the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series for two years, the latter of which he scored three top-five and 11 top-10 finishes.

Kelly signed with JR Motorsports prior to the end of the 2009 season, and competed in his first race under the JRM banner in the series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the No. 5 Chevrolet.

Like the start of many NASCAR drivers, Kelly began karting at Sugar River Raceway in Brodhead, Wisconsin at age 9.

Achievements:
· 2001 Great Lakes Allison Legacy Series Champion
· 2006 ASA Late Model Series Challenge Division Champion

Awards:
· 2000 Great Lakes Allison Legacy Series Rookie of the Year
· 2002 Dells Motor Speedway Rookie of the Year
· 2006 ASA Late Model Series Rookie of the Year
· Bires ended his promising rookie season with two top-10 finishes.


In 2008, Bires continued to run for JTG, earning one top-five and six top-10 finishes. In 2009, Bires was tapped for a part-time schedule, driving select races for Kevin Harvick, Inc., as well as Braun Racing, and CJM Racing. In four competitive starts, Bires earned two top-five and three top-10 finishes. Additionally, Bires made one ARCA start at Talladega in 2009 where he led 35 laps and finished ninth.

When not racing, Bires enjoys being outdoors snowmobiling and hunting; I would not expect anything less from a native of Wisconsin.

HENDRICKCARS.COM – The No. 88 Chevrolet will feature HendrickCars.com on its hood and quarter panels at Auto Club Speedway this weekend. HendrickCars.com allows consumers to view up to 5,000 cars online from franchised dealerships with manufacturer certified used cars.
