When you’re buying a new car, the big thing you want is reliability. Yes, all those fancy doo-dads, gadgets, and features are nice, but if your machine is breaking down all the time, you don’t actually ever get to use any of that. Thankfully, you don’t have to go out and test every single vehicle […]
What you’re about to read is something the kids apparently call a “hot take.” I was a long time reader of this site and definitely know the Chevrolet HHR isn’t necessarily a popular car among readers. And so I’m going to try to defend this car’s — and to a smaller extent, the Chrysler PT […]
What started out life as a 1977 Chevy K5 Blazer has found a second life as a beautiful, electrified SUV, the K5 Blazer-E. And I love it. I want one. I want one so bad.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Recent automaker releases have brought (or will bring before long) a new Hummer, new Ford Bronco, new Toyota Supra, new Nissan Z, new Honda NSX and even a new Gordon Murray F1-inspired road car. But I’m still mad that we never got these two compact Chevy sports cars from 2012, for example.Read more… Continue Reading […]
Found for sale on Facebook Marketplace is a 1980 Chevy LUV “mini-size pickup” with fewer than 15,000 miles on the odometer and only one owner in its history. It is a magnificent gem of a 4×4 pickup, and we should all take a few minutes out of our day to appreciate it.Read more… Continue Reading […]

This week General Motors has issued an immediate stop-sale order on six models across multiple brands. The cars affected are as follows: Buick Encore GX, Cadillac CT4, CT5, XT4, and Chevrolet Trailblazer and Corvette. GM has notified the NHTSA about an upcoming safety recall for these vehicles, which stems from a…Read more… Continue Reading at […]

Minnesota police are seizing cars from innocent people, selling the cars and keeping the proceeds under a wildly permissive civil forfeiture law supported by, you guessed it, the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association. Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
I know it’s been nearly two weeks since we first got a reimagined Ford Bronco to complement the JL Jeep Wrangler on mall parking lots in left lanes on rutted off-roading trails, but there’s one thing I can’t stop thinking about: The reborn Chevy Blazer that could have been. And this Sunset Gold and white-roofed […]
This world would be a better place if there were just a little more honestly in it, which is why I’m such a big fan of Jalopnik reader Mark Tucker’s 1989 Forest Service Chevy K1500 Cheyenne. It is exactly what it looks like: A no-bullshit green, mean (actually, kind), hauling machine. Let’s all pay our […]
If you go to pretty much any car company’s website in 2020, you’ll find a “build-and-price” page where you can pick colors and options for any model, see how specs look and get an MSRP. That’s been around for ages, but you might not have seen an older example of a digital car configurator than […]
It’s not a stretch to say that General Motors is an American icon. You don’t need an ad executive to tell you that. So when the “Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, Chevrolet” ad boomed out of television sets across the country in the 1970s, the image fit. But could that same strategy work for an […]
There’s only so much you can talk about a car in theory before you need to see things in cutaway or exploded view. Thankfully, the Chevy team brought a cutaway model of the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette at the official launch last week and we got to take a closer look.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
The one pressing question I had during the official launch of the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette had to do with time. The car is new for 2020, but it has been talked about since at least 1960. When exactly was the project finally green-lit? When could the people involved finally, emotionally invest in turning myth to… […]
I can’t think of a car that has been more hyped, argued, and picked apart than the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette. The C8 Corvette. The mid-engined one. After 60 years of waiting, I sort of expected it to emit a faint glow, perhaps shoot rainbows from its tailpipes. There will be time later for the think […]
Production started on the 2020 Corvette today, according to Chevy, following a strike-related delay and the need to finish the last 2019 Corvettes and retool the factory. GM expects to make around 40,000 new ‘Vettes this year, all of which are sold out, the company claimed. There’s also that new electric Hummer, which…Read more… Continue […]
I love the Chevrolet Chevelle SS. Sure, the Camaro gets the limelight most of the time, but I’ve always felt that if I’m going to drive a muscle car, I’d want one that’s a little bigger. You know, so there’s room for all my friends. Which I have. I promise.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E is having the impact we all feared, and now some people with bad ideas are already assuming General Motors will want to do something as stupid as take a legacy performance model and turn it into something fundamentally unrecognizable with the Chevy Corvette.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Most recalls through the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are for problems that aren’t great but sound rather normal, like rollaway risk, airbag issues, or faulty builds. But a new, nearly 560,000-truck General Motors recall sounds like something out of a Mad Lib: Seat belts in the affected vehicles…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
