    A 2020 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 with the V6 gasoline engine will cost you at least $44k. If you want the 2.8-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder version, you’re starting at just under $48k. That’s a lot of money for a truck, but it’s one that’s quite capable and good at playing in the spaces where the pavement has…

    The Chevy Blazer is back! Chevy has revived its Blazer, but this is no real-deal SUV. The new Blazer is built on the bones of a crossover. Does that matter? Depends on who’s asking really. For the average consumer it’s fine. And the average consumer is who matters to most car makers. So what’s this…

    The big news from Chevy for 2019 is not the mid-engine Corvette. It’s the Silverado. Like other pickup trucks, the Silverado comes in a large variety of cab, bed, driveline, and trim configurations. But the one thing that stands out in the new line-up is the availability of a four-cylinder turbocharged engine. When Ford introduced…

    While I didn’t attend the launch of the 2019 Chevy Silverado, several people I know did. One of the items that they all relayed from Chevy’s message was “This is the most important vehicle we’ve ever built.”  So it was with this context that I evaluated the vehicle. Up for review was the 2019 Silverado…

    The 2019 Chevrolet Suburban is big.  It’s about as long as a full-grown giraffe is tall.  But the Suburban can haul a lotta people and a ton of their stuff.  Ever see even one person with no stuff ride a giraffe?  Not pretty.  After you watch the latest Hooniverse review check out the giraffe fails…

    Chevrolet has really crushed it with the 6th-generation Camaro. The chassis is brilliant, the engine note is downright delicious, and the performance is world class… and that’s just on a regular old SS. Step up to the 650-horsepower Camaro ZL1 and it’s a whole different ballgame. Under the hood is the supercharged LT4 and it’s…

    The used market is a funny thing to watch and an even funnier one to shop. Amidst the “for the price of X, you could have a used version of Y!” articles and endless discussion of where money is better spent, it truly is remarkable to watch depreciation curves and play the much more important…

    Your narrator grew up in rural Michigan, where livestock outnumber people tenfold, and every household has at least one truck. My family wasn’t particularly brand loyal, but our trucks were always made in the USA, and were always single-cab bench-seat rubber-floor-mat work truck specials. Our trucks, be they Ram, Silverado, or F-150, had an AM/FM…

    [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKEqNx9JnWo&ab_channel=TheHooniverse[/youtube] It should fall right into the middle of the Corvette lineup. It doesn’t though… the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport is the purist expression of the Corvette experience, and it’s the one you want. To find this out, I trekked to Atlanta Motorsports Park to take in the latest version of Chevy’s hallowed Grand Sport.…
