The city of Dubai is known for its extravagant lifestyle. That reputation even extends to its police force, which relies on a fleet of patrol cars that includes a Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari FF, Aston Martin One-77, and now, a brand-new Camaro SS. We’re not surprised—the new Camaro ZL1 was named “Muscle Car of the Year” by Evo Middle East magazine earlier this year.

The all-new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray will find itself in a very familiar position on May 24, 2013: ahead of the pack as the pace car of this year’s Indy 500. It will be a record-setting 12th time that a Corvette has had the honors in Indianapolis, where the Greatest Spectacle in Racing will see its 97th running. As is usually the case, the 2014 Corvette Stingray will need just minor mods to pace the race, too, and those come only in the form of track-mandated safety equipment and strobe lights.

When Chevrolet designed the new 2013 Malibu, a key goal was to provide customers with benefits they wouldn’t normally find in a mainstream midsize sedan—such as four-door passive entry, a feature usually found only on premium vehicles. But then, engineers added an advantage that’s rare on any vehicles.

The 2014 Chevrolet Spark electric vehicle (EV) made its debut at the 2012 Los Angeles International Auto Show. While General Motors released specs of the hatch’s electric motor and even pricing (expected $25,000 after incentives), it kept mum on the fuel efficiency and range until now.

The autosphere is abuzz with reports that General Motors has filed the Chevelle name as a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). For those unfamiliar with car history, the Chevrolet Chevelle is the predecessor to the current Chevy Malibu. Speculation is that GM plans to revive the namesake in order to add another car to the bowtie brand.

Brent Waldrep of Auburn Hills, Mich., has driven more than 23,500 miles in his Volt in 21 months, and had to go to a gas station twice.
Since the Chevy Volt first went on sale at the very end of 2010, Chevrolet’s plug-in hybrid has enabled drivers to travel about 150 million miles using electricity alone for motivation. That’s about the distance from the Earth to Mars.
Of course, some owners are contributing more to that total than others. With its unique powertrain, the Volt can provide an EPA-certified 38 miles of all-electric, zero-emissions driving, then deliver hundreds of more miles of range by leveraging its onboard, gas-powered generator. As a result, Chevy data indicates that, when they regularly charge their Volts, typical owners are covering roughly 900 miles between visits to the gas station. But that’s just for starters.

One image folks don’t normally associate with trucks is luxury. Pickups, here in the United States, continue to be associated with construction, cowboys, and other in-the-dirt jobs. The reality is many owners use trucks as their primary vehicle of choice, hauling entire families to the grocery store more often than towing a bushel of hay.

In today’s full-size pickup segment, customers are just as concerned about tow ratings as EPA ratings. That’s the reason engineers made sure the all-new 2014 Chevy Silverado will top its rivals in both categories.
Backed by a brand-new 5.3-liter EcoTec3 engine that makes a stout 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque, the Silverado is projected to score fuel-economy marks of up to 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway/19 mpg combined, while being able to tow up to 11,500 lbs. (when properly equipped). And not only will the Silverado best all of its V-8 competitors in these key areas, it also outperforms the Ford F-150 EcoBoost model with its turbocharged V-6.
