Cars.com Best Pickup Truck of 2015: Chevrolet Colorado

BAY CITY, Mich. – The North American International Auto Show opened to the public this weekend featuring not only the hottest new vehicles of the year but also some of the most awarded, including the newly named Cars.com Best Pickup Truck of 2015, the Chevrolet Colorado! While the bright lights and fanfare of the Detroit Auto Show draw attention to the shiny new vehicles from the market's largest automakers, the Colorado is no stranger to the spotlight, having already received countless awards since its initial debut!

So why did Cars.com name the Chevrolet Colorado Best Pickup Truck of 2015? Aside from the fact that it's obviously impressive in capability, convenience, and functionality, the team was excited to see a vehicle revive the fading midsize truck segment. Before the introduction of the Colorado, the midsize truck segment was on the decline, but as a segment that is popular among truck shoppers it's refreshing to see the Colorado deliver a complete package to meet shopper's needs!

For that truck enthusiast that can't justify a full size pickup truck, but still needs versatility, efficiency, and capability, the brand new Chevrolet Colorado is the perfect solution! Plus, with a starting price of just $20,995, the midsize truck delivers a complete package at a steal of a price!

If your 2015 resolutions include finding more adventure, then look no further because the Colorado is ready to find new roads!

Chevrolet Bolt Concept Debuts at Detroit Auto Show

BAY CITY, Mich. – The future of electric vehicles is here with a 200-mile range and $30,000 price tag! Not possible you say? Up until today no vehicle on the market fit these criteria, but the Chevrolet Bolt Concept Debuted at the Detroit Auto Show this morning and it does!

Possibly as soon as 2017 we could see the Chevrolet Bolt concept car hit the market offering conscious drivers a 200-mile electric-range option at an unbelievable $30,000 price tag! With evidence as far back as 2013 of GM executives stating the brand will offer a 200-mile electric car with an affordable price tag, we know they're not messing around! The Chevy Bolt concept that debuted at the North American International Auto Show this week, achieves the 200-mile electric range goal by utilizing aluminum, magnesium, carbon fiber, and woven mesh, while keeping an airy-feel for a small car through the use of glass on the roof and windows.

But an impressive electric range isn't the only thing the Chevrolet Bolt is expected to offer. The Chevy EV also is equipped with its own app that turns your smartphone into a key fob, manages ride-sharing, and controls the possible park-and-retrieve feature. What's that? Think of it as your personal valet service! The conceptual park-and-retrieve feature would allow the vehicle to park itself after dropping the driver off at the door!

The Chevrolet Bolt debuted at the Detroit Auto Show as a concept but given the automaker's history in aiming to develop a vehicle that fits these criteria, we have a feeling it won't be a concept for long! But if it's fuel efficiency or eco-friendly you're looking for right now, come see us to learn more about Chevrolet's current lineup!

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.

The North American Car and Truck of the Year were announced just after the auto show began this morning and Chevrolet took home both awards, making it the first time that the automaker won both awards in the same year!

To say that Chevy has kicked off the Detroit Auto Show on the right track is an understatement.

Chevrolet won the North American Car & Truck of the Year awards by capturing the attention of 49 automotive journalists from the U.S. and Canada. Before selecting a winner, the journalists review the year's most outstanding vehicles based on factors like innovation, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction, and value for the dollar.

SPOTTED: 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z07

BAY CITY, Mich. - While the world eagerly counts down the days until the unveiling of the 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's younger sibling is quietly prowling the streets of Michigan. The 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z07 has been spotted out and about, shielded behind thick, baggy plastic.

Not much is known about the seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette just yet, but from these exciting (albeit modest) shots, a few aspects can be speculated on. For example, a sizable vent is visible ahead of each rear wheel opening - this would be for brake cooling. The exhaust outlets also appear to be larger than the Stingray.

As for the powertrain, it's likely that it will come with the Tremec seven-speed manual transmission. It will also most likely be powered by a turbocharged V8 engine. This would mean it will be more fuel efficient while still being able to put out more than 600 horsepower.

The spotted 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z07 will unfortunately remain a mystery for awhile longer. However, the 2015 Z06 will make an appearance at the Auto Show this January, and the 2014 Chevy Stingray has arrived. If you'd like to talk about the Chevy Corvette - the new and the classic - we'd be happy to speak with you! Just stop by our Chevrolet Dealership Serving Clio, MI today and we'll go over available options with you.

2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Will Be Unveiled in Detroit

BAY CITY, Mich. - Although the North American Auto Show is still a few months away, it is believed that the 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 will be unveiled in Detroit. The seventh-generation Corvette was revealed this last January at the Detroit Auto Show, so unveiling the 2015 Corvette Z06 at the same event would make perfect sense. Along with the 2015 Corvette Z06, the Corvette C7.R race car is expected to debut as well.

As for specifications of the 2015 Corvette Z06, not much is known. However, many have speculated that the Corvette will keep the 7.0-liter V8 but that the horsepower will increase to about 600 hp! With that kind of horsepower, the corvette would be able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than 3.7 seconds. Now that's fast!

The current 2014 Corvette has a 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 450 hp and more than 450 lb-ft of torque. It also goes from 0-60 in less than 4 seconds and the EPA highway mileage is around 26 mpg. The decrease in 0-60 time is due to reduced weight and increased performance - the weight will probably decrease even more as the 2015 Corvette is expected to go even faster.

Although we have to wait until the 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 is unveiled in Detroit, to get the exact car specs, the 2013 Chevy Corvette Brochure is available for perusing right now!

2014 Chevrolet Silverado Review

BAY CITY, Mich.- The 2014 Chevy Silverado made its public debut at the Detroit Auto Show this week, and although it looks similar to past models, this 2014 Chevrolet Silverado Review will take you through the useful improvements on the latest Chevy pickup.

The Top Selling Chevy Silverado pickup truck has been reworked to incorporate a lighter but stiffer frame and cab that adds to the vehicles enhanced fuel efficiency. Redesigned doors, mirrors, roof, and tailgate contribute to the Silverado's aerodynamic styling and allow smoother airflow over and around the truck. Although the design changes are subtle, you will notice that this newest Chevy pickup offers more sculpted styling. And don't miss the convenience features like larger, front-hinged rear doors and rear bumper corner steps and handles to better access the truck bed.

Pop the hood, and you can take your pick from one of three new engines, one V6 and two V8s.  All three engine options on the new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado are from the fifth generation of GM's small-block engine family, and provide a variety of fuel saving technologies. Depending on your engine choice, you can save gas with the 2014 Silverado thanks to direct fuel injection, continuously variable valve timing, and cylinder deactivation. The three engines: 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8, and 6.2-liter V8, are also light weight with the use of aluminum blocks and cylinder heads instead of iron.

One of the most important parts about the all new 2014 Chevy Silverado Review is how you feel driving the truck.

2014 Corvette Stingray

BAY CITY, Mich.- Since the announcement in late 2012 that Chevrolet planned to reveal a completely redesigned Corvette early in 2013, we've been patiently, or impatiently, awaiting the big debut! Well the wait is officially over, as the exciting unveiling took place Sunday night at a Detroit Auto Show preview event at Russell Industrial Center in Detroit. The most anticipated introduction, Chevy's all new 2014 Corvette Stingray did not disappoint!

Speeding right to the important details, the 7th Generation Corvette is the most powerful standard model...EVER. Featuring a LT1 6.2-liter V8 engine, the all new Vette puts out an estimated 450 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft or torque, compared to just 430 hp in the 2013 Corvette, and jets from 0-60 mph in less than four seconds! Fuel economy was not sacrificed for power, either. The 2014 Corvette Stingray delivers more power with less fuel and is expected to be the most fuel efficient Chevy Corvette, although the gas mileage numbers have not yet been certified.

Containing just two parts from the 2013 Vette, the 2014 Corvette Stingray has been completely redesigned inside and out. Structurally, the newest Corvette's frame is now made of aluminum in addition to the light weight carbon fiber roof and hood to reduce weight, instead of the traditional steel frame. The carbon fiber accents are carried over to the interior of the new C7 as well, complimenting the new stitched leather.

Featuring styling cues from the iconic 1960's Corvette, the evolutionary 2014 Corvette Stingray is an impressive new addition to the Corvette line-up. Stay tuned for more detailed information about the 2014 Corvette C7 features and specifications. To learn more about the previous generation Corvette, enjoy our 2013 Chevy Corvette Brochure or check out our Chevrolet Corvette Inventory.
