2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel: The Ace in the Hole3.5/5

In the highly competitive compact car segment, GM has never been able to truly keep up with the Joneses. Keeping pace with the Japanese and Korean manufacturers that have dominated this class for years by offering vehicles that perfectly meet buyers’ needs is no easy task. GM’s models – the …December 23, 2013

2014 Chevrolet Sonic : Chevy’s Warmed-up Hatch3.5/5

Chevrolet took a considerable step forward in performance and driving pleasure when it replaced the not-so-exciting Aveo with the Sonic in 2012. While the Aveo represented basic transportation for drivers on a budget, the Sonic adds a little bit of gusto and pizzazz to the formula. Subcompact hatchbacks have never …August 20, 2013

2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel: Building A New Legacy4.5/5

How long has it been since General Motors has had a player in the diesel car game? If you said “30 years,” you’re both right and wrong. Chronologically, yes, that was the GM’s last foray into the realm of Rudolf Diesel’s alternative-fuel engine, but the reality is the domestic giant …August 15, 2013

2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible: Almost The Whole Enchilada4.5/5

There was a time, not so long ago, when a car like the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 convertible would not have been allowed to exist. A recently as the past decade, a corporate culture that insisted on protecting the Corvette as the Bowtie brand's performance icon precluded building any form …August 9, 2013

2013 Chevrolet Traverse: Discreet yet Efficient4.0/5

Some test vehicles make more of an impression than others. Most of the time, we pretty much know what we’re going to get from a car, based on past experience. But in the case of the Traverse, a week-long trial resulted in some unexpected surprises. The Traverse is one of …May 31, 2013

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: Please Consume in Moderation…4.5/5

If space had permitted, a more appropriate title for this article would have been something like: “Please consume in moderation, even if the car doesn’t”. The reason for the ZL1’s unquenchable thirst is that it is powered by a supercharged 6.2-litre V8. Yes, the very same V8 that powers the …April 26, 2013

2013 Chevrolet Trax: Thank Heaven for Genetics4.0/5

Although it may not seem like it, humans are evolving slowly but surely. And the same is true for the cars we design. Take the Chevrolet Trax, for example. It’s an evolution of the Sonic sub-compact, but it’s considerably more attractive. Hope springs eternal. Chevrolet likes to play up the …April 16, 2013

2013 Chevrolet Spark: GM's Subcompact Gamble4.0/5

The 2013 Chevrolet Spark would seem to be tailor-made to satisfy the needs of Canadian drivers looking for a cheap, fuel efficient hatchback to help them navigate urban traffic.

He said, she said: Test driving the Chevrolet Cruze

The premise of the He said, she said chronicle is simple: we lend a press vehicle to a couple to test drive extensively for two weeks and give the two participants one simple instruction: to take note of all of their impressions, both good and bad. Each of the test …April 19, 2012

The SLP Camaro ZL585: A muscle car that devours curves4.0/5

The proverb “a leopard cannot change its spots” has existed for centuries, but you’d swear that it was coined for pony cars and the performance war that American automakers have been waging since the 1960s. Two oil crises, the increasing strict laws on fuel consumption, pollution, safety and one or …February 15, 2012

2012 Chevrolet Orlando: Exotic name, acceptable execution4.0/5

I must admit that the Orlando name is kind of catchy. It evokes the Florida heat, Disney World, Sea World and so on. And yet, despite its distinctly Floridian moniker, this crossover is exclusive to Canadians, as our neighbours to the south decided not to distribute it (although it’s relatively …November 24, 2011

2011 Chevrolet Equinox: Worth a look3.5/5

The Chevrolet Equinox is one of several interesting vehicles in the compact SUV category, and its latest generation – introduced last year – continues to play its cards right. So much so that the Equinox, which is manufactured in Ingersoll, Ontario, can hold its own with the category’s big guns, …November 17, 2011
