The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze has a segment-leading 10 air bags to help keep passengers safe in a crash, and an engineering specialist who does his most inventive thinking about vehicle safety in the middle of the night.

The Chevrolet Caprice has Been Reborn

Published Wednesday, 25 August, 2010 by Chris Dugan. Categories: Auto Industry, Vehicle News, Coming Attractions, Technology, Fleet.

I'm sure everyone remembers the Chevrolet Caprice cruiser/police interceptors. They were bulletproof tanks charged with keeping local, state police, and county officers safe, while at the same time getting them where they needed to go quickly. For years I remember seeing these enormous big Chevrolet's everywhere, accruing far more miles than one even had the right to expect from any vehicle used under the severe conditions in which they were operated; to…

A little bit of a lot

I've recently had a quick chat with Service Manager Scott MacArt of Handy Chevrolet, and he's told me this himself. In fact, he and I are getting together at some point this week to discuss the implementation of the two brands in an effort to let you, our customers and potential customers, know exactly what the deal is. When I know more…

Research is on the Cusp of a Breakthrough on Ethanol Production

Published Friday, 20 August, 2010 by Chris Dugan. Categories: Technology, Green, News.

With the unrelenting fervor to continue research into green technologies, one has emerged that I hope gains some traction. Ethanol is, for better or worse, the first fuel somewhat commercially viable fuel aiming to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

Yesterday, August 18, 2010, I published a blog about the three new 2011 vehicles sitting on the lot: the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado, Malibu, and Traverse, all of which I got to spend a little time in and around.

Today I took an extra long look at the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, and I can't even properly word how sweet this thing is. I drove the 2010 and was quite impressed with the feel of the…
