New Chevy Models Named to "Best of 2018" Lists by Major Publications

BAY CITY, Mich. –– As 2018 kicks off, a wave of new vehicles hits the market for consumers to enjoy and experience, redesigned or upgraded with new features, capabilities, and more. Each year, Chevrolet works tirelessly to develop a new line of vehicles to meet the needs of the American driver, and wows them! Their 2018 lineup is truly something to behold, and its a testament to their quality that multiple new Chevy models have been named to "Best of 2018" lists by major publications. Read on to find out which Chevy vehicles are the best of the best!

Consumer Reports - 10 Top Picks of 2018: Best Cars of the Year

Consumer Reports released their 10 Top Picks of 2018: Best Cars of the Year list and two Chevrolets made the cut. Their team of experts assessed all of the new 2018 model vehicles from each manufacturer on their reliability, owner satisfaction, and safety. They also put each vehicle through a vigorous road test, and any vehicles that ranked well in all four categories were named to their Best Cars of the Year list.

Best Large Car: 2018 Chevrolet Impala

"The Impala continues to be a gem among large cars, providing a driving experience that’s more akin to a luxury car. The controls are refreshingly intuitive and easy to use, including the feature-rich infotainment system. Its smooth ride is a true standout, soaking up bumps like a sponge. Those in the market would be wise to consider an Impala." - Consumer Reports

New Chevy Models Named to "Best of 2018" Lists by Major Publications

Best Compact Green Car: 2018 Chevrolet Bolt

"The Bolt proves that electric cars need not apologize for a lack of driving performance. This distinctive-looking hatchback delivers brisk acceleration and tight handling, plus a 250-mile electric range at a mainstream price." - Consumer Reports

New Chevy Models Named to "Best of 2018" Lists by Major Publications

Car and Driver - 2018 10Best Cars

Car and Driver released their 2018 10Best Cars list recently, and two Chevy models were included. Their experts spent two weeks of extensive hands-on evaluation of new 2018 model vehicles, driving and testing the sedans, trucks, and SUVs out on the track. They also took care to assess the engine, cabin design, and technology features in order to properly considered which vehicles would be named to this prestigious list. Additionally, to be eligible the vehicles must have a sale price under $80,000 and be either a returning winner or an all-new or significantly revised model.

2018 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

"The Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport needs little introduction as a mega-performance bargain worthy of our 10Best Cars list, and 2018 marks the second year in a row that the Grand Sport targa and convertible have made the cut. From its Lightning Lap exploits to our current long-term test car, it is a track-day thriller and an unflinching ally on winding back roads. Factor in impressive civility at a price that massively undercuts any exotic of similar dynamic capability, and the Grand Sport earns its place again for being one of the best sports-car buys available." - Car and Driver

New Chevy Models Named to "Best of 2018" Lists by Major Publications

2018 Chevrolet Camaro V-6 / SS / ZL1 Coupes

"Imagine meeting Vin Diesel and discovering that he has a law degree, quotes Robert Frost, and speaks with an English accent worthy of royalty. Maybe he is all that; we don’t know—we’ve never met him. That’s the Camaro’s story as well: You can’t know it until you’re one on one with it, preferably on a challenging two-lane road. It is there that the Camaro will demolish your preconceptions, one corner at a time." - Car and Driver

New Chevy Models Named to "Best of 2018" Lists by Major Publications

U.S. News & World Report - The Best New Cars Arriving in 2018

U.S. News & World Report is a world-renowned reporting authority, and they also recently released a list of The Best New Cars Arriving in 2018. To be included, the 2018 models must be all-new or significantly redesigned. Two Chevy vehicles made the cut!

2018 Chevrolet Traverse

"With class-leading cargo space, cavernous seating for up to eight, and lots of in-cabin storage, the Chevy Traverse is a great SUV. This large family hauler feels composed when driving, with easy steering and braking. The Traverse rides comfortably, even on rough pavement or while handling curves with enthusiasm. Technology features are intuitive, as well." -U.S. News & World Report

New Chevy Models Named to "Best of 2018" Lists by Major Publications

2018 Chevrolet Equinox

"Chevrolet’s redesigned Equinox is a safe bet if you are looking for a compact crossover that includes plenty of features." - U.S. News & World Report

2016 Chevrolet Equinox is First Vehicle to Adopt Corvette Design Cues

2016 Chevrolet Equinox is First Vehicle to Adopt Corvette Design Cues

BAY CITY, Mich. – So you may have heard that Chevrolet recently debuted an updated version of the Equinox crossover. But do you remember back when the automaker announced that subtle design inspirations from the halo C7 Corvette Stingray would be integrated into the new 2016 Chevy lineup? Well, it's happening people!! The 2016 Chevrolet Equinox is the first vehicle to adopt Corvette design cues!

Riding on the success of the impressive new Corvette, Chevrolet has begun influencing the design of the brand's new lineup, beginning with adaptations of the vehicle’s tail lamps. It is these new tail lamps that inspire the personality of the updated 2016 Chevrolet Equinox! What's so great about these new tail lamps are the aura and character they bring to the Equinox crossover. These lamps are key to the start of Chevy's new persona, and have been coined the "Chevy-signature dual-element."

The 2016 Chevrolet Equinox is the first vehicle to adopt Corvette design cues, and in more than just its taillights. An aggressive-styled hood is another addition to the new Equinox that will also begin to appear on several other bowtie models. Ed Welburn of General Motors said that the upcoming Chevy Malibu and Cruze will be the next to receive the subtle changes that link back to the C7 Corvette design. It will truly be exciting and refreshing to see these impressive Stingray inspired features on the full Chevy lineup!

Updated 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Coming This Fall

Updated 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Coming This Fall
BAY CITY, Mich. – Chevrolet's efforts to update and refresh their lineup have definitely been paying off, and part of that can be attributed to the solid positioning of the Impala. However, when it comes to the mid-size Malibu, the current generation model has seen an increase in competition. So what does Chevy do? Make it better! An updated 2016 Chevrolet Malibu is coming this Fall and recently Mark Reuss hinted at what we can expect when it debuts!

This Fall the updated 2016 Chevrolet Malibu is expected to begin arriving on dealership lots and according to Mark Reuss, GM's executive vice president of global product development, the new model's styling will blow you away! Just how the redesigned Impala exceeds expectations, the 2016 Malibu is set to do the same; delivering more than you'd expect to get at that price.

But what type of styling can we expect? Well, you may remember a while back we reported that Chevrolet was going to start incorporating Corvette Stingray influences into all of it's models, and that was hinted at that once again. Apparently, the next-gen Malibu taillights will incorporate a hint of Stingray, while rear leg room will be increased, and front-seat hip room will become more accommodating.

Hank Graff's Life-Sized 1954 Corvette In A Box

BAY CITY, Mich. – Have you heard the buzz about the son who gave his dad a restored 1954 Corvette for his retirement? It's making headlines everywhere and guess what, it was actually Hank Graff who received the 'Vette from his son Chris Graff! See what CorvetteBlogger.com had to say about it below –
We’ve all heard of trailer queens, but this might be the ultimate!
Chris Graff decided to give his father Hank a very unique retirement gift: a boxed Corvette. But this wasn’t a 1/25 scale model in a box; this was a real 1954 Corvette on a trailer with a custom-made 8.5-foot-tall by 24-foot-long box built around it that makes it appear as if the Jolly Green Giant has a new toy to play with. 
The public got their first glimpse of the the boxed-car in person at the Graffs’ Chevydealership during their Festival of Corvettes in Davison, Michigan. It’ll also be on display at the June 20-24 Back to the Bricks Michiana promo tour, July 11-12 gathering in Mt. Pleasant and Aug. 12-16 signature events in Genesee County. 
“We fell in love with a car box and we thought we’d build a car box at one point and time. That transformed from a trailer to a box to move a car around in,” said Tom Kelly, the dealership’s special projects manager. “We hated the feeling of going to a car show and having to cancel because of the weather.” 
When a 1954 Corvette was traded in at the dealership, they began a seven-month restoration that Hank didn’t realize was actually going to wind up being a retirement gift for him from his son. 
“We built the car that Chevrolet would have loved to build had they had the technology back then that we have today,” Kelly said. 
The box features a life-size photo of the car’s rear end on the back with operating tail lights and Hank’s photo. A neat feature is a graphic that points out the “toy” is for ages 16+ since you have to have a license to drive it! It also promises “real rubber tires” and “functional steering,” among other features. 
The box takes on a really cool look at night when LED lights from above and below put the Corvette in the spotlight. 
“As handsome as it is in the daylight and unique as it is, it is amazing when it sets out on display for the evening hours,” Kelly said. 
The life-sized toy box is already drawing a lot of attention, having made its public debut last weekend at Back to the Bricks in Cadillac, where it was the subject of many double takes and subsequent photos.

Special Edition Corvette 'Zora'?

Special Edition Corvette 'Zora'?

BAY CITY, Mich. – Zora Arkus-Duntov. He was the father of the Corvette and by adding a V-8 engine to the first generation Corvette, he was able to take the vehicle into sports car territory. He also introduced the Grand Sport program which helped make the second generation Corvette a world class racing success. So why the Corvette history lesson?

According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, General Motors has just trademarked the name Zora making us think a special edition Corvette 'Zora' may be on the horizon! Trademarking a name is nothing new. Automakers do it all the time for future models or to protect their history. However, this particular filing is significant because of the wording which states GM will reserve Zora for "motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles."

Although a special edition Corvette 'Zora' has not been confirmed by General Motors, we will keep you updated on all the latest Chevy news right here! Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706 and we can help you find the perfect vehicle for your weekend getaway! For more information on Hank Graff Chevrolet, or for any questions call us at (989) 684-4411 or visit our website: www.GraffBayCity.com.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible Introduced

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible Introduced

BAY CITY, Mich. – Ahead of its expected New York Auto Show Debut, the brand new 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible was introduced, becoming one of the most capable drop-tops on the market! For the first time since 1963, you will be able to enjoy open air driving in the most powerful convertible ever produced by Chevy!

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible introduction is particularly significant because until recently, an open roof model wasn’t possible for a vehicle with this much capability. The lightweight structures just weren’t strong enough to handle the supercar’s braking, cornering, and acceleration. In fact, the last time a convertible Z06 was offered from the factory was in 1963! However, thanks to today’s advancements in computer-aided engineering, metallurgy, and manufacturing techniques, the aluminum chassis of the newest Corvette Z06 is 20 percent stiffer than previous models, making a drop-top possible!

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible Introduced

Neither performance, power, nor precision are sacrificed with the Z06 convertible either. The only difference between the coupe and convertible models are the provisions for mounting the power folding top which required the seatbelt mounts to be repositioned and the trans and differential coolers to be relocated to the underbody. So pick your preference out of the four colors available for the thick fabric top, three basic configurations: Standard, Carbon Fiber Aero Package, or Z07 Package, and then get ready to make the most of the Z06’s 625 horsepower made possible by the new LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine.

Summer is on the horizon, which means there is no better time to get your hands on a convertible that has what it takes to help you find new roads! Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706 and we can help you find just the convertible for your needs! For more information on Hank Graff Chevrolet, or for any questions call us at (989) 684-4411 or visit our websites: www.GraffBayCity.com.

Corvette to get 30 MPG with 8-Speed Transmission?

Corvette to get 30 MPG with 8-Speed Transmission?
BAY CITY, Mich.– Corvette and fuel efficiency aren't typically two things that you would associate in the same sentence. But times are a changin' and soon they may be synonymous because the 2015 Corvette Z06 could get 30 mpg with the new 8-speed transmission! Could the new transmission be the final piece to the puzzle facilitating fuel efficiency in Chevy performance vehicles?

According to General Motors in a recent report from the Society of Automotive Engineers, it is that final puzzle piece. GM is confident the 2015 Corvette Z06 8-speed transmission will get 30 mpg. With the current 6-speed, 30 mpg isn't far off and with two extra ratios the 8L90 eight speed transmission improves efficiency by up to 5 percent, which means an EPA-certified 30 mpg highway fuel efficiency rating could be a reality. Plus, the new unit is over eight pounds lighter than the outgoing six-speed, while being equivalent in size. Not to mention, it is capable of shifting 0.8 seconds quicker than the Porsche 911's dual-clutch transmission.

Convinced? The new 8-speed transmission will debut in the 2015 Corvette Z06, but even if a 'Vette isn't in the cards for you, it's possible we may see the standard 2016 model vehicles adopt the new unit! Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706.

Three Corvettes Recovered From Sinkhole

Three Corvettes Recovered From Sinkhole

BAY CITY, Mich.– Remember when news broke last month that a massive 40-ft. sinkhole opened up under the National Corvette Museum, swallowing eight rare Corvettes? How could you forget it, right? As sad as it is to think about those classic Corvettes covered in rubble, we do have some good news to share–three Corvettes were recovered from the sinkhole this week!

This week crews got to work in Bowling Green, KY, uncovering three of the most accessible vehicles from the National Corvette Museum sinkhole. First was a 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil that only endured minor damage from its 30-ft. fall and was able to start up and drive through the museum doors. The second, a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Edition Corvette, sustained quite a bit more damage with broken windows and significant damage to the front and rear. The third car posed more of a challenge for crews since a five-ton slab of concrete from the museum's floor was resting on the front of the 1962 black Corvette, which meant both the car and concrete had to be removed simultaneously. But two cranes got the job done!

Three Corvettes Recovered From Sinkhole
While three Corvettes were recovered from the sinkhole this week, the remaining five will have to remain buried until workers can further stabilize the sinkhole, a process that could take two to three weeks. From there recovery of the remaining vehicles could extend through August 3rd!

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Debut Review

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Debut Review
BAY CITY, Mich.- The North American International Auto Show is just getting started this week and Chevrolet is already making history. The automaker kicked off the auto show by winning the North American Car and Truck of the Year and then followed that with the jaw-dropping 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 debut! It builds on the Corvette Stingray's already impressive features, making it the most capable Corvette ever!

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is officially the most track-capable Corvette in the brand's history thanks to advanced driver technologies and supercar specifications. The car's new supercharged 6.2L engine can be paired with either a seven-speed manual transmission or eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission to pump out at least 625 horsepower! In conjunction with unprecedented levels of aerodynamic downforce and the lightweight construction of a stronger aluminum frame with a removable roof panel, the 2015 Corvette Z06 rivals the most exotic supercars in the world!

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 debut reviews the connection between the track and the street. To develop the most capable Corvette in the brand's history, the automaker took what they learned from the Corvette Racing C6.R and applied it to the Corvette Stingray. The Stingray was then used as a foundation for the Z06 and C7.R, which were developed side by side to stretch the performance envelope. The two new Corvettes even incorporate several of the same features from the Stingray like direct injection, active fuel management, and continuously variable valve timing, while also improving upon other features to boost performance and increase fuel efficiency!

Not only is the new 2015 Corvette Z06 the most capable Corvette, but it's also the most impressive. Stay tuned for more information on every detail of the new supercar, or stop by our Chevrolet Dealership to check out our New Chevrolet Cars and get your performance car fix! Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706.
