Bob Lutz Returns to GM as Advisor


No matter the age, a petrol head like Bob Lutz can't stay away too long from the car industry. In fact, even though GM's former vice president and product czar had retired in the May 2010, the 79-year-old has been providing advice to the firm's executives without pay ever since.Now, GM decided to formally hire Lutz as an advisor to provide counsel to the senior leadership team of the company.
"Lutz will be available to executives on a part-time consultancy basis effective immediately," GM said in a short statement. "He brings a wealth of experience built over the course of more than 40 years in the industry, including two stints at GM. He has also been a senior executive at Ford, Chrysler, BMW and was CEO of Exide Batteries," the company added.
Lutz's advisory work at GM is expected to include product development as well as marketing and communications.
"In most cases, it'll just be reinforcing the direction they're already on. I couldn't be more pleased with the way the company is being run, with the way the products are being marketed, with the pricing, and, of course, I'm very familiar with the future product," Lutz told the Detroit Free Press. "I think a lot of it will be saying, 'Wow, that's good, keep it up,' and occasionally I'll offer some critical comments."

2012 Chevrolet Equinox Reviews



For the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox, new forward collision alert and lane-departure warning systems are now available. Equinox 1LT models also have the rearview camera as standard equipment this year. However, the optional rear seat video entertainment system has been dropped.



With a rear seat that slides back to create an expanse worthy of a prom-night limousine, the 2012 Equinox easily counts rear legroom among its strengths.



Standard equipment for the LS includes 17-inch alloy wheels, air-conditioning, cloth upholstery, a partial power driver seat (height adjustment only), a sliding and reclining rear seat, cruise control, full power accessories, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, Bluetooth, OnStar and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, satellite radio and an auxiliary audio jack.



Every 2012 Chevrolet Equinox comes standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 182 hp and 172 pound-feet of torque. Every Equinox regardless of engine comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and 20/29/23 with all-wheel drive. With the V6, front-wheel-drive models return an estimated 17/24/20, with all-wheel-drive versions coming in at 16/23/19.



The 2012 Chevy Equinox comes standard with antilock disc brakes (with brake assist), traction and stability control, front seat side airbags, side curtain airbags and OnStar. The Chevy Equinox boasts a stylish cabin filled with premium touches. The Equinox boasts a nice expanse of passenger room, with 60/40-split rear seats that slide back to provide substantial rear legroom.



The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox isn’t likely to receive any major changes. Should you wait for the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox or buy a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox? Styling: Any minor changes to the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox – colors, tail lamp tint, and wheel style -- won’t take it far field from the look of the 2010-2011 Equinox.



Mechanical: The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox will reprise a choice of four- and six-cylinder engines and front- or all-wheel drive. Equinox has offered front-wheel drive or extra-cost all-wheel drive (AWD) at every trim level and should continue to do so for 2012. Prices for the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox had not been released in time for this review. (Estimated base prices in this review include the manufacturer’s mandated destination fee; Chevrolet’s fee for the 2011 Equinox was $745.)



That means an Equinox with the four-cylinder engine should remain among the more fuel-efficient crossovers of its size. Expect 2012 Chevy Equinox ratings for four-cylinder models to stay around 22/32 mpg city/highway with front-wheel drive and around 20/29 with AWD.



The 2011 version of this five-seat crossover got the first styling changes since Edge’s model-year 2008 introduction. With the Ford Escape SUV appealing to entry-level crossover shoppers, the 2012 Edge’s base price range should again hover above that of the Equinox, at roughly $29,000-$39,900.

Chevrolet Corvette C7 2013


If the Corvette Stingray concept foreshadows the next-generation Corvette C7, then what might the production car look like?
Given the concept’s massive wheels, exaggerated exterior, and extremely low roofline, there’s almost no way the production Corvette C7 will look exactly like it. The Corvette C7 will retain its front-engine layout, forgoing a more costly – and complex – mid-engine setup.
One speculated engine option would be a twin-turbo 3.6-liter DOHC V6 capable of 400 horsepower.

For example, when the Corvette’s most recent major update came along for model year 2005, purporting to mark the transition from generation five (C5) to generation six, we characterized the sum of the changes as Corvette C5 and 11/16ths.

The members of  the Corvette tribe don’t refer to their baby in alphanumerics. The Corvette’s looks haven’t changed much in the last two generations, covering 13 years, but we anticipate change in the Corvette C7 will be apparent at a glance, even to casual observers.

According to insider folklore, CEO Dan Akerson—GM’s fourth CEO since March 2009—attended a Corvette styling review and told design chief Ed Welburn that he thought the C6’s posterior was way too wide. Chevrolet first signaled its interest in reviving the split window by outfitting the Stingray concept vehicle with one. The C6 Vette has long been a respected member of the serious sports-car community, but its interior has been subpar for ¬¬just as long. There will be changes under the hood, too. Also, fuel-economy ratings may show a slight uptick. We look for the base Corvette coupe to start at roughly $52,000, ranging up to about $115,000 for the ZR1.
The future for America’s sports car sees the Corvette becoming lighter, slicker and moderately more compact, powered by an equally powerful but smaller V-8. A list of priorities from the average Corvette owner puts perform¬ance at the top, with fuel efficiency somewhere just above the desire for rear seats and a better tow rating.

In the meantime, the new Corvette C7 will retain a front-engine design, but the car will lose weight while its engine will become more effective at extracting energy from fuel. Improved aerodynamics will also help the Vette punch a smaller hole through the air, aiding acceleration, top speed and mpg.

2012 Chevy Sonic Review

Chevy Sonic
The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic replaces the Chevrolet Aveo. How will Chevrolet take the Sonic to the next level? First, the Sonic gets the same engines as the Chevrolet Cruze – a 1.4-liter turbo charged engine and 1.8-liter engine. Second, Chevrolet upped Sonic’s interior features. The Chevrolet Sonic, for example, has heated front seats and remote vehicle start, two features that aren’t common in the class. Third, Chevrolet redesigned the Sonic’s exterior to make it more aggressive and sportier-looking than the outgoing Aveo. One of the Sonic’s most obvious competitors is the Ford Fiesta. First, the Fiesta sedan has 12.8 cubic feet of cargo room – the Sonic sedan has 14. The Fiesta hatchback has 15.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats in use – the Sonic has 19. Chevrolet gave the Chevy Sonic interior options like a sunroof, heated front seats and Bluetooth connectivity to make it more class competitive.

Details: 2012 Chevrolet Sonic
The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is an all-new model from Chevrolet that replaces the Chevrolet Aveo. Chevrolet gave the Sonic Chevrolet Sonic the same engines as the well-liked Chevrolet Cruze. Chevrolet hasn’t released pricing information yet, but Car and Driver speculates that with the 2011 Chevrolet Aveo starting at $12,685, the Sonic should have a base price around $13,000. The Sonic will be available as a sedan and hatchback.

With its new Sonic, Chevrolet now has a more compelling contender in the subcompact segment. The Sonic replaces the Aveo and will compete with the Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit and Nissan Versa. Like the Fiesta and Versa, the Chevy Sonic is available in sedan and hatchback body styles.

Trunk space for the sedan has increased, though, growing from 12.4 cubic feet to 14 cubic feet. Like the Chevrolet Cruze, the Chevy Sonic comes with a base 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and an available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder. The turbocharged engine makes 138 horsepower. Available transmissions for the 1.8-liter include a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

Standard safety equipment includes 10 standard air bags, antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist, and OnStar with Automatic Crash Response.
2012 Chevrolet Sonic ,It's bigger, bolder, and likely a better buy, but this redesigned subcompact will face tough competition--and the same tough task of convincing more buyers to get small. Meet the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic.
Of course, demand for fuel-efficient vehicles tends to rise and fall with fuel prices, as well as with public confidence in the way things are going. The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic reflects these trends, as we know from various recent intel and the production-preview Aveo RS Concept revealed at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. As a result, sources say, this subcompact will grow to about the same size as Chevy's Cobalt compact car (recently replaced by Cruze).

2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu

2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu
General Motors (GM) finally decided to release two new variant of Chevrolet Sedan Sport Cars Malibu 2013 at two prestigious exhibition of the Shanghai Auto Show 2011 and the New York Auto Show 2011. One of the firm‚ most important models in years. The new Malibu sports sedan a new exterior styling with lines and curves inspired from Chevy‚ most recent models such as the Cruze up front and even the Camaro at the back with the LED dual-element taillamps. The exterior design of the all-new Malibu carries DNA from its sister vehicles, the Camaro and Corvette, to bring a sporty sensibility to the family sedan sports car segment.
2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu comes with featuring a more fluid design with a prominent instrument panel incorporating a pair of Camaro-esque circular gauges set in squared-off housings, and a new top-hinged, flat panel display on the center console that articulates up and down revealing a six-inch-deep hidden, illuminated storage compartment. In the US, the 2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu will be offered with Chevrolet‚ new MyLink infotainment package that integrates wireless connectivity through Bluetooth.
2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu
As in the eAssisted LaCrosse and Regal, the Malibu Eco pairs a 2.4-liter four-cyliner engine with a six-speed automatic transmission, fitting a motor-generator where the alternator would live. The system can provide up to a 15-hp boost using energy stored in the lithium-ion battery, which gets its charge from regenerative braking. The system is enhanced by other miserly tech pieces like a stop/start system, low-rolling-resistance tires, underbody trays, and active aero flaps in the grille that open or close at speed to meter the flow of cooling air and further aid economy. We’ve recently driven the LaCrosse eAssist and came away impressed by its relative seemlessnes. The verdict is still out on real-world economy, but we expect the same level of refinement from the system as installed in Chevrolet’s ever-important Malibu.
2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu
The 2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu engine has more than 190-hp with maximum torque of 180 lb-ft estimated. The engine is backed by a Hydra-Matic 6T40 six-speed automatic, which helps to achieve improved fuel economy and performance. GM has yet to be resolved and the fuel consumption and performance figures.
2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu
Medium sports sedan car body has also been cut by 4.5 inches, but the overall length remains the same. While the width is increased to nearly 3 inches. Along with a smaller size, Malibu 2013 will also save money in the engine lineup. 2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu offers a new engine 190-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder. DOHC Ecotec engine is also expected to create 180-feet of torque. Six-speed automatic transmission will be the only gearbox is only available to U.S. buyers.
2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu
The new 2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu also gets 62-inch (1,574 mm) front and rear tracks that are more than 2 inches (51 mm) wider than before. As a result, GM claims that the 2013 Malibu offers nearly 4 cubic feet (113 L) of additional interior volume, along with increased front and rear shoulder and hip room, plus more than 1 cubic ft. of extra trunk space at 16.3 cu.ft (462 lt).
The Eco will be the first of the 2013 Chevrolet Cars Sedan Sport Malibu available, beginning in early 2012, followed by the LS, LT, and LTZ models later that summer.
