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!

BAY CITY, Mich. – Back in January Chevrolet snagged both the North American Car AND Truck of the Year with the Corvette Stingray and new Silverado.

In the truck/utility class, the Chevrolet Colorado, Suburban, Tahoe, and Trax were all selected as candidates for the 2015 North American Truck/Utility of the Year as part of the 29 trucks/utilities up for consideration!

In December the 50 journalists that make up the NACTOY will begin voting to narrow the list to three finalists, which will then be announced mid-December.

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!
