Camaro V6 Convertible: Is 6 > 8?4.0/5

It’s all too easy to gang up on General Motors. In fact, it’s all too easy to gang up on American auto manufacturers in general. In fact, it’s not the crash safety standards, emissions, or consumption legislation that Ford, Chevy, and Dodge fear… it’s the perception they must endure. But …July 30, 2011

The 2011 Camaro SS Convertible: Electronic Wizardy Goes Too Far3.0/5

Lord, did I ever want to like this car. As a former Camaro owner never quite lucky enough to stumble upon the ’69 Z28 I always wanted, the notion of these new, retro Camaros has had me excited ever since Bumblebee leapt onto the silver screen a few years back. July 23, 2011

2011 Chevy Cruze: Can it live up to the hype?4.0/5

There’s something to be said for under-promising and over-delivering on one’s goals; just ask Stephen Harper… or any one of the Vancouver Canucks, for that matter. People are sadistic individuals (again, reference Vancouver) just looking for a way to get a leg up on their fellow man by any means …June 18, 2011

2011 Chevy Camaro RS: Can You Have Your Cake and Eat It Too?4.5/5

I can remember it like it was yesterday; it’s flat green paint looking distinctly haggard in the gleaming sun, the creased front fender leeching the rainbow hues of iron oxide down its flanks. Inside, the interior appeared to be unchanged since its creation in 1970, the familiar four speed shifter …December 25, 2010

The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD: Great for the Zombie Apocalypse... and Work?4.0/5

Lately, some of you might have caught sight of the single greatest thing to happen to television since the A-Team came off the air: AMC’s The Walking Dead. Based upon the equally awesome comic book series penned by genius Robert Kirkman, the television show takes the zombie apocalypse trope into …December 18, 2010

2011 Chevrolet Volt: An Amercian dream becomes reality4.5/5

Enough with the whispers and off-the-record remarks from engineers. We finally had the chance to drive a production-model 2011 Chevrolet Volt... well, almost. Let’s say that the version we tried is very close to what will soon be sold to American consumers. And, you guessed it, Canadians will have to …December 9, 2010

2010 Camaro RS: Just Don't Tell Them It's a V64.0/5

When I turned 16, I wanted nothing more than a proper, honest-to-goodness muscle car. But, having last been produced decades earlier, they weren’t exactly populous in the municipality of Richmond, BC. Flipping through the local Buy & Sell would reveal just a few examples of decent muscle cars, and the …November 30, 2009

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS, an inspired beauty!4.0/5

The Chevrolet Camaro is one of the most spectacular cars for sale this year. In fact, GM has just revamped this legendary model, adapting it to modern preferences. And contrary to what some people say, this vehicle was not brought back to save what used to be the world’s number-one …November 11, 2009

2010 Chevrolet Camaro: Enough to win over a Mopar fan?

While the Ford Mustang has always been very popular and Chrysler was about to launch its superb Dodge Challenger a few years ago, the engineers and designers at GM had to bust their humps to find a fast and economical alternative. It wasn’t enough to simply pull out the previously …September 3, 2009

The 2009 Malibu Hybrid: Going, going, gone, and none too quickly.2.5/5

General Motors’ experience with Hybrid drivetrains has been, in a word, interesting. While the modern two-mode hybrid system found in the full-size SUV and truck line is easily equal to or better than every hybrid system on the market today, the General’s first attempt at marrying electric motors with gasoline …June 14, 2009

2009 Chevrolet Traverse: The fourth in the series…

Unwisely, GM has all too often gotten caught up in the game of offering three or four similar models sold under different banners. Case in point, the recent Uplander/Montana SV6/Relay/Teraza foursome of minivans, turned out to be a miserable failure. Despite repeating this mistake over and over again, this year …April 10, 2009

2009 Chevrolet Cobalt XFE: Fuel Miser Without the Showroom Premium4.0/5

There are innumerable ideas on how to quell the coming fuel crisis; some feel we need to explore new hydrogen technologies, some think gas/electric hybrids are the way to go, and some realize that automotive fuel consumption is a proverbial drop in an oily bucket as compared to international shipping, …January 21, 2009
