SMS Supercars, who are known in the U.S. for pimping up Mustangs and Challengers, have decided to do the same with the Chevrolet Camaro. Along with exterior and interior upgrades, SMS beefs up the power in these muscle cars. They have released photos of its upcoming Chevrolet Camaro model, the SMS 620 Camaro.
If you ever thought the Chevy Aveo was beyond redemption, this new concept may change your mind. To be shown at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, the Chevrolet Aveo RS concept is a gussied-up version of the production 2011 Aveo hatchback that will debut in the U.S. later this year.
Unlike the Chevy Camaro and the Ford Mustang, the Dodge Challenger never caught on in the UAE, thanks largely to high prices and lacklustre advertising. To ramp up sales, Chrysler has unveiled a new ‘performance appearance’ package for the 2010 Dodge Challenger in the American market, but only for the SE and R/T models, both of which are not offered in the GCC.
Cadillac has released details of the 2011 CTS-V Coupe, which debuts at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show this month. It combines the new CTS Coupe’s body with the 556 hp supercharged V8 from the CTS-V sedan.
Toyota is having a string of bad publicity in the United States, the company’s largest market, where Toyota’s perception of quality helped it become the largest automaker in the world this year.
An all-new 2010 Chevrolet Sail model has debuted exclusively for the Chinese market, to sold alongside the recently-facelifted Chevy Lova. The Lova happens to be a version of the Aveo that we get here, and by all indications, the Sail may very well become the next Aveo.
General Motors is recalling some Corvette C6 and ZO6 models, models years between 2005 and 2007, but only those equipped with a removable “targa” roof. The adhesive between the roof panel and the frame may separate. According to the U.S. NHTSA safety agency, if there is a partial separation, the driver may notice one or more symptoms, such as a snapping noise when driving over bumps, wind noise, poor roof panel fit, bouncy roof panel movement when a door or hatch is closed, or a water leak in the headliner.
There was a time when General Motors poured all their resources into developing full-size 4x4s such as the Chevy Tahoe. The U.S. operation had pretty much sidelined the sedan market, churning out midsizers so embarrassingly bad that they turned to their Australian and Korean outfits when it came time to expand the GCC line-up. But as Americans started to give up their ever-hungry trucks for fuel-efficient cars, the General came up with the all-new “award-winning” Chevy Malibu.
Leaked information confirms what has been rumoured for almost a year now. The 2011 Ford Mustang GT is receiving an all-new 5.0-litre V8, marking the return of the Mustang “5.0” badge that was last seen in the mid 1990s.
Quite possibly the most anticipated electric car in the history of electric cars, the 2011 Chevrolet Volt is evidently almost ready. Unlike the non-moving prototype displayed at the Dubai Motor Show, there exists several working prototypes of the Volt. This video shows one burning rubber around a parking-lot autocross course. While we are supposed to marvel at its agility, it isn’t particularly remarkable except for the fact that it is so boringly quiet.
