    [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-0cSmrmLR4&ab_channel=TheHooniverse[/youtube] I don’t care for the Camaro. I admire the 1st-gen cars and am starting to like the 2nd-gen examples, but all of the other ones? Never really gave them much of a thought. Nothing against Camaro fans and their rides, mind you, it’s just a vehicle that was never for me. Now the 6th-generation…

    Loosed across the desert floor as a stone loosed from the hand of God himself, skipping across the surface of the otherworldly terrain though we were bright yellow flat-edged stone. The Camaro quietly ZRINGs underneath my right foot as we gently accelerate toward the next gear. We may as well be on a paved Martian road…

    Last week Chevrolet invited us to the middle of the desert about an hour outside of Las Vegas to drive the new Camaro Convertible and try out the new four-cylinder turbo Camaro as well. The day we arrived, Chevrolet invited us to dinner. However, we were told to leave our cameras behind. That always means…

    Before returning the our 2015 Chevrolet Silverado, I had to do my best to get the get the oil, beer, and food spills out of the bed and the wiff-of-homeless-guy out of the interior. Three days of LeMons Support duty will do that to a truck. The Car Blog Commenting Guild™ endlessly laments the increasing niceness…

    [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y41PSgKiMl8[/youtube] Usually when you meet your heroes you end up highly disappointed. I’ve driven all sorts of Corvettes ranging from a 1969 427 Stingray to a C4 ZR-1 and a C6 ZO6 at Bondurant. Sure I’ve driven C5’s before and yes the automatic is as terrible as everybody says that it is, but the Z06 was a…

    [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-VNeWe_GaY[/youtube] Remember when the rest of the world used to make fun of the Corvette? It wasn’t completely warranted, yet there were some criticisms that both stuck and stung. Those days were officially pushed into the past when the new C7 Corvette arrived. The 2015 Corvette Z06, however, takes those old notions, douses them in…

  • Quick Spin: 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel

    It is pretty amazing, but General Motor’s past experiences with diesel-powered cars still remain a punch line of many jokes. It’s no surprise then that it has taken them decades to very carefully come out with a new diesel offering. That new diesel, a 2-liter, four cylinder was installed under the hood of the midsized…

  • Hooniverse Motorhome Monday – Say, didn't you work here sometime ago?

    Yes, this is an impromptu Motorhome Monday here on Hooniverse. Jeff Glucker (you remember him, right?) did a great review over at Autoblog on a new Airstream Avenue. This is basically an upscale Chevrolet Express converted to do camping duties, and it seems impressive for what it is.

    For some time now, I’ve wondered if GM is capable of making a good boring car. Between the Vette, GTO, CTS-V and various SSs, GM’s demonstrated they’re were capable of making kickass cars that represent impressive performance bargains. Unfortunately, the market for kickass isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Toyota spent two decades building…

    There’s an advantage to being near the bottom end of the automotive media food chain. By the time most manufacturers let us at their press fleets, the big guys have long since established readers’ opinions for them. We’re not part of that crucial first round of reviews where manufacturers learn whether their latest products meet…
