First Look: 2014 Chevrolet Impala
Chevrolet has debuted a heavily revised Impala at the New York Auto Show. The rental car staple has gone from bland to beautiful with a heavy interior makeover that should really separate it from the field.
Rumors: 2014 Chevrolet Impala Spotted
The folks over at CarScoop.com have published some images of what is believed to be the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
First Look: 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible
With 580 horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque on tap, the ZL1 Convertible will probably be a very fast car. In fact, Chevy went to the trouble of listing some of the cars that the ZL1 will overpower, including the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, the Mercedes-Bezn SL63 AMG, the Aston Martin DB9 Volante, and of course, crosstown rival, the 550-horsepower Shelby GT500. Gauntlet, thrown down.
Quick Drive: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible
This was my first go in a Camaro SS, and I’ll admit straight away, I was disappointed. I expected more; more noise, more power, more…
Secondhand Gems: 400 Horsepower For $35,000
Once upon a time, the streets of Detroit were hosts to corporate gang warfare. The time of which we speak is of course the 1960s, when gas was cheap and big engines making bigger horsepower thumped beneath the hoods of machines with names like Chevelle, Road Runner, and Torino.
Driven: 2011 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible
Like a lot of the Winding Road staff, I have had mixed emotions about the Camaro. I like the idea of a more modern challenger (sorry, Dodge) to the Mustang’s semi-monopoly on the intersection of inexpensive and powerful. I like the basic design of the car, though I could tweak a few details to make it better. I’m not even that troubled by the Camaro’s limited visibility, knowing full well that we heap praise on Lamborghinis and Lotuses without screaming bloody murder about visibility.
Quick Drive: 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible Limited
The retractable hard top was a nice touch. When I went to put some groceries in the trunk, though, I could hardly lift the lid with one hand. I was ashamed at my own weakness, so I went home, had a sandwich, and tried again. It wasn’t a fluke; that sucker is heavy.
List: Top 15 American Cars From Winding Road’s Involvement Index 2.0
In Winding Road Issue 72, we will be announcing the winners of the 2011 Involvement Index Awards, where we select the most deserving, engaging vehicles from a range of categories. In anticipation of honoring the winners in about a month’s time, we’d like to take a look at the most involving American cars from our Index.
First Look: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro 45th Anniversary Edition
We were so busy preparing our BBQ parties, nursing our first-of-the-season sun burns, watching racing, and lining up new convertibles to drive this last weekend, that we almost missed the fact the Chevrolet dropped the sheet on a new, special edition Camaro as well as details relevant to the 2012 Camaro line.
First Look: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro 45th Anniversary Special Edition
For 2012 the Chevrolet Camaro is getting an improved 323-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6, new performance suspension for the SS, new instrument panel, steering wheel, and avaliable rear-view camera. It’s also getting a 45th Anniversary Special Edition with a whole host of unique features to set it apart and celebrate the nameplate’s history.
Quick Drive: 2011 Mazdaspeed3
I’ll get it out of the way early; I prefer the original Mazdaspeed3 to this second-generation by a rather large margin. This car isn’t the same visceral indulgence that the original was. Everything has been numbed to a degree, including the first gen’s characteristic torque steer.
First Look: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
Today, in the Windy City, Chevrolet debuted the 2012 Camaro ZL1, powered by a blown 6.2-liter LSA engine, and featuring some new technology for this beloved muscle car.
LA 2010: 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
Chevrolet has officially unveiled the 2011 Camaro Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The Mustang-fighting droptop is the first Camaro since the demise of the F-body in 2002. The Camaro convertible will have the same powertrains as the hardtop.
List: Ten Cars We Are Looking Forward To In Los Angeles
With the LA Auto Show rapidly approaching, a few manufacturers have dropped us some tantalizing crumbs in the past couple weeks about what we can expect. From hybrids and well kept secrets to a few caged beasts, here is a glimpse into what we are looking forward to when the show kicks off on November 17.
Blog: Chevrolet Camaro RS, Better With Time?
When I wrote down first impressions of Chevrolet’s V-6-powered Camaro RS about a year ago, my comments had a somewhat negative slant. True, the car was fresh looking and evocative as could be, but it also had a lot of rough edges and basic design-related flaws.
List: Top Ten Best Power-To-Weight Ratios Under $40,000
Here, we offer the top ten new cars with the best power-to-weight ratio available for less than $40,000.
FireBreather Unveiling Leaves Attendees Seeing Red At AutoRama
If Chevrolet’s jet black Impala SS from the mid-1990s belonged to Darth Vader, behold the Emperor’s new ride, known as the FireBreather. Unveiled Friday in a spiffy ceremony at Detroit’s AutoRama, this oh-so-sexy Hollywood machine features 20 million layers of deep black paint over custom body work that has an undeniable late 1970s Firebird flavor, combined with menacing wheels and glowing red trim on the front clip. Call it sinister, or evil, or wickedly delightful; just don’t call it a Firebird Camaro.
Ask It: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS On Winter Tires
When you think of snowy, slushy, wintry driving, a Chevrolet Camaro isn’t necessarily the first vehicle that comes to mind. Naturally, when General Motors offered us the opportunity to test a Camaro SS outfitted with Pierlli Scorpion Ice & Snow tires in the middle of January, we accepted the challenge.
2010 Detroit Auto Show Preview
It’s a special time of the year here at Winding Road, when we think not only of the holiday season, but also the much-anticipated 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. These are the cars that we think will steal a lot of the attention at the show, which we’ll be covering January 11 – 12. Don’t miss out on your chance to get down to Cobo, too—NAIAS opens to the public on January 16 and runs through January 24.
Driven: The Look-At-Me Chevrolet Camaro RS
In our new Third Look series, the Winding Road staff will take another, more focused view of cars that have already been through our wheelhouse. Though Driven reviews, comparison tests, and our Ask It section in the Forums are all instructive, multiple chances to drive a particular vehicle always yield new, sometimes subtle impressions. In Third Look, we’ll try to highlight these and bring to light some thoughts we might not have had the first time around.
Case in point is the Camaro RS that we had the opportunity to test over the Forth of July holiday weekend. As a staff, we’ve had ample opportunity to test the 2010 Camaro, in both V-6 and V-8 varieties (read what Rex Roy had to say, here). But there was something especially compelling about driving the new American icon during the most patriotic of holidays.
Keepers: The Turbo Dodges
In the pursuit of finding cars worth keeping, there’s not always a clear connection between pedigree, price and performance. Sometimes, cars that people expect to be good turn out to be rubbish, despite their ancestry. And sometimes, you come across performance heroes in the most unlikely of places.
