News: Say Goodbye to the Chevrolet Spark EV
Like Tesla’s first roadster, the Chevrolet Spark EV was small, not very practical, but helped its manufacturer, GM, develop truly innovative technology.

One month ago today, I went to Boardwalk Chevrolet and drove my brand new 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV home. I remember how beautiful it looked parked in front, plugged into the charger, soaking wet with rain.
General Motors is quoting a “more that 200-mile” driving range for the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt until the official EPA numbers are released.
The 2015 Chevrolet Trax is selling in a very competitive small SUV category that includes the likes of the Honda HR-V, Nissan Juke, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, Kia Soul, Honda CR-V, Jeep Renegade and its General Motors sibling, the Buick Encore.
The 2015 Chevrolet City Express is easy to drive, park and maneuver, and gets good fuel economy with the CVT making for a smooth driving experience, plus its convenient low lift-over floor height and tall, wide doors reduce the difficulty of loading and unloading cargo.
when General Motors decided to retire the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado in 2012 and start over, they had to completely rethink what the 2015 GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado would look like and how they could become, on their debut, the segment leaders in different categories to get midsize truck buyer’s attention versus the only two competitors in this segment, the Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma.
The 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel is rated at 46 Highway/27 City with an average of 33 MPG. Sounds pretty good, but it can get even better because, if you have a light foot on the accelerator, you might even get closer to 50 MPG on the highway. So, what’s not to like about GM’s Mileage King?
Plain and simple: I like this car. The 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV 2LT came with a surprising list of options such as ten airbags, a seven-inch color Driver Information Center (DIC) where you will find MyLink featuring SiriusXM, Bluetooth and hands-free smartphone integration. This car is quick, whether it is from a standing start or at speed when accelerating to pass, and that is in the regular drive mode. For more oomph you can press the Sport mode button that pumps out even more torque, but at the expense of battery charge and driving distance.
For all the twists and turns that the auto industry undergoes, it looks like 2013 will be a clear milestone for electric cars. The point here is to look at how far we have come and note the arrival of the electric car industry. It’s no longer a model or two, but a substantial variety of vehicles from major manufacturers that the EV-conscious consumer can choose from.
Finally, February 2013 at the Chicago Auto Show, the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel was introduced to the media.
