The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD has been named Motor Trend's Truck of the Year.
Chevrolet called the wins "a rare same-year sweep of the prestigious car and truck awards," adding, "It is the first time since 2006 that one brand has won both Motor Trend Car and Truck of the Year awards in the same year."
To determine the award winner, Motor Trend "evaluated two Silverado HDs, one an extended-cab gas SRW and the…
Chevrolet Volt, GM's new electric car, has already been named 2011 car of the year by Motor Trend, Automobile Magazine and Green Car Journal. And despite a $41,000 price tag, dealers report waiting lists for the combination gas/battery-powered vehicle. The car can travel 35 miles on electricity, and an additional 340 miles on a tank of gas.
GM is selling one special edition Volt to the highest bidder to benefit public math…
Good news Handy fans! We have recently updated our already extensive library of supreme Chevrolet and auto-related knowledge to better suit your needs as well as update those of you who may be already well educated on the new information.
As you may have heard, GMAC Financial has recently been rebranded Ally Financial. GMAC was Handy Chevrolet and General Motors' primary finance organization, and the same can be said for Ally Financial-Ally still houses a…
I posted a blog (on my day off! Yes, I'm committed, or crazy) about my favorite Christmas memory that you may or may not have read. It was posted on our Word Press blog site, wordpress.com/handychevrolet and I explained that my favorite Christmas memory revolved around the year I got my Super Nintendo-the very first console I ever owned all to myself without having to share it with my sister and two…
Well it's official: The United States Navy now drives Chevrolet vehicles (just don't expect to see them in the water anytime soon). Well what's the big deal then? While they might not replace our current aquatic vessels, they are serving an important role. The US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor has just received a specially outfitted Chevy Equinox FCEV to utilize on base, as a cost effective means for carrying out local…
It's definitely a little unorthodox to say the least, but nowadays auto companies are revamping their once classic muscle cars. Ford for example, has radically altered the lines of their 2011 Mustang, and Dodge has resurrected the beastly Charger of days past. However, Chevrolet on the other hand, has taken its tried and true Camaro, and done something truly noteworthy: transformed it into a luxurious drop-top muscle car.
It feels good to be back at Handy's now that I've just finished up my first semester at Clarkson University. For me the pleasure of returning was two-fold: not only did I have a heavy workload for my major (mechanical engineering) and a well deserved respite from it, but I also decided to tackle Army ROTC on top of that. So after four months of nothing but mathematics and early morning Physical Training (PT) sessions, I finally made it back to St. Albans and to Handy's... thankfully in one piece!
A 1,776-mile Freedom Ride; rigorous testing in the Arizona deserts; millions of blogs; hundreds of Facebook posts and Twitter tweets; does any of this sound familiar? After all the rigmarole we have finally reached our destination: the 2011 Chevrolet Volt has been delivered (well, the first anyway!).
Yes my friends, though Handy Chevrolet-strike that-since Vermont is discriminated against in the worldly marketplace due to our small population, we don't have any Chevrolet Volt's for sale quite yet. When I spoke to Pete Obuchon his estimate was a vague "sometime next year," and though it's not his…
I just wrote a blog on our website about the first delivery of the Chevrolet Volt and how we'll now see if it really does all I've bragged it can. But don't worry: I'm not reiterating that. I just heard about something new that's coming in the next couple of years for you folks who may need more space for kids, daycare children, groceries, sporting gear, etc., etc. Chevrolet is…
I was given an excellent treat the other day: a brand new iPhone 4. I had been blogging recently about the iPad that General Manager Dan Luneau wanted me to learn, and learn I did. It turns out with the surprise around the corner, I basically groomed myself towards the new smartphone with its umpteen million possibilities--all of which fit snuggly and quietly in your pocket.
I also described the Bluetooth keyboard that I purchased…
