The last generation SS Impala (1994-96) has become a legend to enthusiasts all over the world, impressed by its dependability, roomy interior, sleeper looks and incredible power. Certainly the ultimate Impala SS culminated in ’96 when Chevy finally dropped the dorky digital gauges and the column shifter in favor of a console-mounted gear lever. Now considered a contemporary classic, the automobile was Chevy’s flagship and is certainly among the fastest and most reliable American sports sedans money can buy. With the attrition rate of these cars often accelerated by highway commuters or the new generation of “Fast & Furious” juveniles, it'd be a nice surprise to find an extremely low mile example of the species that received all the PROPER modifications to compete with the new millennium of supercars AND despite being 18-years-old, still sparkles and shines like the day it rolled-off the showroom floor. The most likely place to unearth such a rare gem would be Southern California, with its mild climate and large number of affluent car enthusiasts. Such an amazing find is the miraculously well preserved example presented for auction here! With only 12,005 original miles, this Impala has certainly lived a charmed life. The current owner is a prominent businessman in Orange County who keeps the car covered and sheltered in his “man cave” among a private collection of museum quality, collector automobiles. During his ownership, (less than 3,000 miles ago) at a cost of $18,899.11, the car received a full engine "performance rebuild" complete with stroker engine design and transmission overhaul. All work was performed by Superior Automotive Engineering in Placentia, CA. Here is a copy of the 3-page work order: Here is the Dyno on the engine measuring 475 horsepower with 466 ft. lbs of torque: The ultimate "sleeper" that seats 5 adults. The exhaust is surprisingly quiet, the engine idles super-smooth and passes strict CA emmission requirements. Hence, a unique opportunity arises to obtain a coveted SS, one that enjoys a most beneficial climate and is pampered beyond belief by a mature owner with big pockets and the willingness to pay up for the best services and performance upgrades money can buy. Let's check out this dream find now, inside and out! To call the paint "well preserved" would be a gross understatement; the truly marvelous original finish has retained its magical luster over the years and still appears stunningly beautiful today. This SS has never suffered any collision damage and there are virtually no rock chips or scratches to report. Photos above and below show a small scratch in the fender well. Otherwise, trunk, hood and door gaps are in perfect alignment; confirming the Impala’s pampered existence for the past 18 years. The lowered stance and wide wheels/tires are no visual gimmicks, mind you. With acceleration from zero to sixty in the sub 5-second range and a top speed of over 160mph, the full Hotchkis performance suspension becomes a vital part of survival. So are the custom widened, 17” alloy wheels, which are a dramatic improvement in both looks and performance on the SS… …especially when fitted with Fresh Nitto NT 555 Extreme ZR Radials 285/40ZR17 in front and 315/35ZR17 out back Let’s have a close inspection underneath. More important than shiny paint is a healthy undercarriage. This original chassis presents itself free of any kind of damage or corrosion. Hotchkis performance suspension components throughout and modified exhaust can be seen here. Most importantly, there is absolutely NO evidence collision damage or any other mishap that would cause the enthusiast sleepless nights. Peeking inside this SS, luxury is abundant. This Impala comes with the full leather interior that exudes a fantastic aroma; let's investigate! The inviting, 8-way power seats and roomy interior provides ample head and legroom for 5 NBA players. The 12,005 miles shown on the digital odometer are original!
Novero TrustyOne Universal Bluetooth Car Kit w/Microphone & Music Playback is a nice addition to the audio system and provides superior hands-free cell phone operation. The AM/FM/ audio system features upgraded amp and speakers with the 6-disc CD changer in the trunk (how 90’s!). Oil temp and pressure gauges located here. Fully optioned with power seats, windows and heated mirrors, everything works perfectly, of course with ice cold A/C. Books, manuals, and documents are included and there's also a spare key set with remote. The condition of this leather interior is consistent only with a cherished, low-mileage car that's been garaged all its life. How about a quick peek into the spacious trunk. Power amp located here. Cargo net still in tact. CD Changer located here. Now for the best part; under the hood. Inside the toothbrush-clean engine bay, lives Chevy’s fabled LT1 power plant. All the modifications were carefully engineered to pass strict CA emissions standards. A smog certificate will be provided for CA buyer. This stroker engine develops an astonishing 475 horses @5,900 rpm. This engine runs super strong and displays no ill manners whatsoever--like smoking, oil piddling, or drinking. Notice Edelbrock stainless steel exhaust system and MSD Ignition Not a single oil leak to note. Dry as a bone and clean as a whistle.
With an $18,000 drive train overhaul/build within the last 3000 miles, the new owner can be assured of trouble free driving in the long distant future. Drivability: The car runs, drives, handles, and stops flawlessly. Docile around town, on the track or above 4,500rpm, it throws you back in your seat! Driving this contemporary classic is truly is an unforgettable, uniquely pleasurable experience. Its low mileage and full engine/transmission overhaul certainly provides an extra dimension of satisfaction: there are no squeaks or rattles; this SS feels as solid as a rock!

Chevrolet considering midsize crossover to slot between Traverse and Equinox
Mon, Jan 9 2017Crossovers are the new hotness, and automakers are looking to cash in by offering a size and shape for every customer. With Chevrolet's debut of the new 2018 Traverse in Detroit, which grew ever so slightly compared to the first-generation model, there is now a midsize-crossover-sized hole between the three-row Traverse and the compact Equinox. When asked about that obvious space, a Chevrolet spokesperson told us the company is looking into the possibility of expanding its crossover lineup. It should be a relatively simple thing to do, since all it would take is reskinning and rechristening the GMC Acadia with a bow tie, and we all know how much GM loves platform sharing. Although they're now different sizes, the new Acadia and Traverse still use the same platform; the Acadia is now on a short-wheelbase version of the C1XX while the Traverse uses long-wheelbase C1XX parts. A short-wheelbase Chevy built on the C1XX likely would be differentiated visually from both the Acadia and the larger Traverse. It may seem like flooding the lineup with more and more models would cannibalize sales of existing ones, but Chevrolet said it would rather have customers stay within the brand rather than going to another automaker. There have been whispers that some form of the Blazer name (possibly TrailBlazer) may make a return on a midsizer, but if it does don't expect an old-school body-on-frame SUV like the old one. In the end, if Chevy builds it, customers will come. Related Video:

Fri, Dec 11 2015The makers of Racing Extinction used a tricked out Tesla Model S for their movie. The artists and activists used the electric car as a platform to project images from nature in various cities to raise awareness about imperiled wildlife.

It also has a thermal imaging camera in the front of the car with a filter to view CO2 emissions. Check it out in the video above, and read more at Ecomento. WardsAuto has named the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Plug-In Hybrid's powertrain to its list of 10 Best Engines. As the first plug-in hybrid to make the list, WardsAuto World Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter praises Hyundai engineers for their "impeccable job blending fuel efficiency with refinement and daily usability." Wards notes the car's smooth transitions between electric and hybrid modes, and a well-connected six-speed automatic transmission. Other electrified vehicles to make the list are the 2016 Chevrolet Volt and 2016 Toyota Prius. Read more from Hyundai, at Green Car Reports. FEV's plug-in hybrid battery pack has gone into vehicle series production. The 10-kWh battery pack, developed by the German development services provider, offers an all-electric range of about 30 miles. FEV says its battery management algorithms are just as important as choosing the right battery hardware. "The core system for the battery development is our own mature battery management system (BMS), now in its third generation, that together with optimized algorithms allows a very reliable and stable control of the battery," says FEV's Dr. Michael Stapelbroek. Read more at Green Car Congress, or in the press release from FEV below. Hybrid Vehicle Goes Into Series Production FEV development competence consists of batteries, controls, as well as complete drive systems FEV has demonstrated competence in the development of alternative drive concepts for almost twenty years. Most recently, yet another plug-in hybrid vehicle has gone into series production with technology provided by the Aachen-based developer. In addition to using an innovative transmission concept which is based on a FEV patent, FEV also developed the battery technology of the plug-in hybrid vehicle to series production readiness.
GM and Ford quarterly sales continue to slump in China
Fri, Jul 5 2019BEIJING — General Motors and Ford announced their quarterly sales in China fell, albeit at a slower pace sequentially, as the U.S. automakers were hit by a slowing economy amid the Sino-U.S. trade war. GM's vehicle sales in China for the quarter ended June 30 dropped 12.2%, while Ford's sales slumped by 21.7%. While GM also suffered from heightened competition in its key mid-priced SUV segment, Ford was hurt by the limited new models for customers to choose from. For the first quarter of this year, Ford's sales in China tumbled 35.8 percent while GM's skid 17.5 percent. Still, the numbers from GM, the second biggest international automaker in China by sales, and Ford portend more uncertainty for the industry which is trying to rebound from a downward spiral that led to its first annual sales decline last year in more than two decades. GM delivered 1.57 million vehicles in China in the January-June period this year, while Ford delivered 290,321 vehicles. China's factory activity shrank more than expected in June, highlighting the need for more economic stimulus amid higher U.S. tariffs and weaker domestic demand. Annual car sales in China fell last year for the first time since the 1990s, and they are expected to fall this year too. Sales tumbled 16.4% in May from the same month a year prior, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said. That marked the 11th consecutive month of decline and followed falls of 14.6% in April and 5.2% in March. U.S. car companies' share of total China passenger vehicles sales fell to 9.6% in the first five months of this year from 10.9% in the year-ago period, according to CAAM. Over the same period, German car makers' share has risen to 23.3% from 20.9% and Japanese auto makers' to 21.3% from 17.3%. CAAM is set to announce June sales next week, which industry analysts forecast will be negative.  New models In China, GM has a joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac are made. It also has another venture, with SAIC and GuangxiAutomobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of GM's affordable brand Baojun dropped 31.8% for the latest quarter. But luxury brand Cadillac's sales jumped 36.6%. GM sold 3.64 million units in China last year, down from 4.04 units in 2017. Ford makes cars in China through its joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co and Jiangling Motors Corp (JMC).
