The 2011 Chevrolet Volt, a revolutionary four-door, four-seat hybrid vehicle, is powered by a lithium-ion battery and a flex-fuel powered four-cylinder generator. The Green Chevrolet Volt optimizes the way it drives depending on variables such as weather, the electrical features in use and consumer driving style. The Volt can travel up to 40 miles on a full charge — completely free of gas and emissions, yet has the merits of instant torque and horsepower from the electric motors. Step on the gas and feel Camaro-like torque while emitting no emissions. For more information visit http://www.hendrickchevy.com

With the exciting launch of the Chevrolet Volt, Electric and electrified vehicles are all the current rage among automakers. With more electric vehicles being purchased, researchers are hard at work figuring out what to do with all those electric batteries once their automotive life reaches the end of the line.
According to General Motors and power productivity ace, ABB Group, Chevrolet Volt battery systems will still have a lot of juice – up to 70 percent – after they have reached the end of their vehicle life. In fact, GM predicts 33 used Volt batteries will have the ability to provide enough power to 50 households for several hours during a power outage.
GM and ABB together have come up with an energy storage system, consisting of a grid-tied power inverter that could be used to charge and discharge the Volt battery pack. The grid would store electricity and come on-line during outages or in times of peak demand, ultimately saving customers and utilities money. The prototype is built for 25-kilowatt/50-kWh applications, which equals the average energy use of about five homes.
While GM and ABB continue developing the prototype, Pablo Valenica, senior manager for Battery Lifecycle Management, will oversee his team while they work on battery systems capable of use beyond their automotive life in all future GM cars.

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.
