2012 Chevrolet Impala Ltz Sedan 4-door 3.6l on 2040-cars
Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
|
The
Impala LTZ is a roomy, front-wheel-drive 4-door sedan. All trims now include a
standard 3.6L V6 engine that features variable valve timing, is FlexFuel
compatible, and makes 302 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with
a 6-speed automatic transmission, which allows it to hit 30 mpg on the highway,
according to the EPA. With a rather conventional MacPherson strut-type front
suspension and trailing-arm rear suspension, with a stabilizer bar in back, the
Impala is tuned to bring a smooth ride yet handle reasonably responsively. The
body and suspension systems were designed to include some significant
sound-deadening measures, which make the Impala quiet on the highway and over
coarse surfaces. Depending on the trim level, the Impala comes with either a
front bench seat or two individual buckets. In back, there's enough room for
three adults across, and the seatbacks fold forward for a full pass-through to
the trunk for larger cargo items. There's a storage tub under the rear
cushions. And a sunroof is available. Side and side-curtain airbags are
standard on all Impalas, along with GM's StabiliTrak stability control system
and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. There are LATCH child-seat connectors in all
three rear seating positions. Even the base LS model includes keyless entry,
cruise control, power windows and locks and air conditioning. LT models get
larger machined aluminum wheels, a remote start system, dual-zone climate
control and Bluetooth hands-free. At the top of the range, the LTZ comes
equipped as a more sophisticated, sporty sedan, with upgraded wheels and
W-rated tires, heated seats, heated mirrors, a universal remote, and Bose
audio. All sound systems include an auxiliary input. The available remote-start
system in the Impala is claimed to work up to 200 feet away, and will pre-heat
or cool the vehicle. Also included in the Impala is the latest Gen 9.0 version
of OnStar, with improved voice recognition, along with Direction and
Connections services and Turn-by-Turn navigation, which allows you to beam
route guidance from a call center into the vehicle.

Anti-purist 1963 Ferrari GTE sports hot rod Chevy V8
Thu, Oct 8 2015I remember reading a story around the time Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift came out. It focused on one of the star cars of that film, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that started the film as a shell, and in a pinch, was transformed into a modified masterpiece, complete with the RB26DETT engine from a Nissan Skyline GT-R (which started the film under the hood of an S15 Silvia). There was a genuine (and in our minds, absurd) fear in the article that taking a piece of classic American iron and fitting a twin-turbocharged JDM engine would result in some awful trend in the classic car community. If you thought a GT-R-powered classic Mustang was sacrilege, though, this car will probably make you vomit. For the rest of us, it's a neat piece of engineering. Shown above is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, and yes, that's a 302-cubic-inch, small-block Chevrolet V8 under the hood. On top of that, it uses the six-speed manual transmission from a Viper, a nine-inch Ford rear end, and Mitsubishi-sourced paint. So yeah, it's a FrankenFerrari. Check out Road Heads' interview with this custom GTE's owner, which is followed by a brief test drive. And of course, head into Comments afterwards, and let us know what you think. Is this Yankee-powered 250 GTE blasphemous or badass?
Driving McLaren's Sports Car and 'The Best Corvette' at the M1 Concourse | AutoblogVR
Wed, Apr 12 2017There's nothing better than a track day. Great cars on a great track are always great fun. Recently, we had the opportunity to check out the new M1 Concourse in Pontiac, MI, with two of the coolest cars in the game; a McLaren 570S and a Corvette Grand Sport. Driving the 570S was Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore, and he didn't hold back. Getting behind the wheel of the McLaren, Greg explains that although this is McLaren's idea of a sports car, "it's all relative." Topping out at 204 miles per hour with 562 horsepower, there's no two ways about it: this thing is a monster. While the 570S was fantastic, we had another sports car we wanted to drive and editor-in-chief Mike Austin was just the man for the job. Enter the Corvette Grand Sport. Mike pushed all 460 horses of the 'Vette to the limit and came away impressed with the car, even calling it "the best Corvette." Comparing it to its more powerful sibling, the Z06, Mike goes so far as to say the Z06 has too much power, while the Grand Sport seems to be the third bear's bowl of porridge in the Corvette family... It's just right. We captured all the action of the day with 360° cameras so you can feel like you're right there in the car sitting shotgun with us! You can check out the McLaren and Corvette laps above, but the best way to view them is through the AutoblogVR app, where you can watch the videos on your VR headset or in a nice swivel-y office chair so you can take in the sights all around you. Each month, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll be posting them here on Autoblog, but for the best experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too!
Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado
Sat, Oct 9 2021During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!
