The Chevrolet Volt was one of the most-anticipated cars when it began selling in limited markets in late 2010 as a 2011 model. It was one of the first plug-in hybrid electric cars on the road. GM calls it an extended-range electric. The 1.4-liter gas four-cylinder engine recharges the Volt's 16-killowatt hour, T-shaped lithium-ion battery pack - the same in your Mac or PC, just bigger. The Volt can go up to 40 miles on pure electric power before the gasoline engine kicks on. When it does it doesn't drive the wheels, instead it supplies power to the battery pack by powering a generator. The Volt uses premium fuel. The Volt is built on the same Delta global compact platform and 105.7-inch wheelbase as the Cruze The Range Bodystyle: Four-door hatchback Motor/Engine: 1.4L I-4, 16 kWh Li-Ion battery pack Transmission: Single reduction ratio Models: Volt What's New When the Volt debuted in 2011 it was one of the first plug-in-electric hybrid on the market and took home Motor Trend's Car of the Year Award. Not many major changes for its sophomore year, but the bow-tie brand had a few up its sleeve. Chevrolet made the navigation system and Bose audio system optional to lower the base price of the Volt in hopes to attract more customers. Passive keyless entry is now standard. It also gains new 17-inch wheels with interchangeable plastic inserts. Chevrolet's MyLink interface and a three-year subscription to OnStar turn-by-turn navigation are new. The 2011 Volt had limited availability, but GM expects it to be available nation-wide (and in Europe as the Opel Ampera) before the 2012 calendar year begins. Exterior The Volt dons a similar profile to the fastback Toyota Prius - which is more aerodynamic than traditional sedans. It features the familiar family front end with its crossbar split grille with gold bowtie. It is slightly smaller than the large for its class Chevy Cruze compact sedan. Daytime running lights, keyless entry, power heated mirrors, 17-inch aluminum wheels and rear spoiler are all standard. Blue Topaz Metallic and Summit White are new paint options for 2012. Cyber Gray Metallic has been dropped. Interior The instrument panel and center stack is now black with silver-colored, satin polished details including the outer rings of the climate-control dials, center stack vents, and audio control panel. Mazda said the silver accents on black background give the Mazda3 “a feeling of higher refinement” as well as making frequently used options easier to find. The Mazda3’s multi-function display and LCD display replace last year’s red text and graphics with white. The Mazda3 comes well-equipped with plenty of storage bins, two 12-volt outlets, rear heater ducts, power windows and locks, and 60/40 folding rear seat. Leather and navigation are optional. An optional blind-spot monitoring system is new for 2012. Performance & Handling The Volt can reach 60 mph from a standstill in 8.8 seconds on electric power or 8.7 seconds with the small gasoline engine putting it a full second faster than the Toyota Pruis. By the time it hits 64 mph (1.2 seconds later) the controller decreases power output slightly to preserve the battery. It can top out at 100 mph - above any legal speed in the country. The Volt matches a 2.4-liter Malibu Safety The Volt comes with many of GM's safety features standard and includes driver and passenger airbags. StabiliTrak electronic stability control, traction control, four wheel anti-lock disc brakes, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and daytime running lights are all standard. Rear parking assist with rearview camera are available. OnStar with automatic crash response, emergency services, crisis alert, stolen vehicle assist, remote door unlock, roadside assistance, remote horn and lights, turn-by-turn navigation, hands-free calling, vehicle diagnostics is standard for a limited time and owners can subscribe for as long as they own the Volt.

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
