Informatie over Chevrolet

Op deze pagina vindt u meer informatie over Chevrolet en alle gerelateerde artikelen.

Sinds het ontstaan van Chevrolet is er vooral veel geschreven en gezegd over de vele facetten die erbij komen kijken. De volgende periode zal er steeds meer worden toegevoegd op deze pagina's over Chevrolet.

De huidige informatie is geschreven door de auteur die zeer veel kennis en ervaring heeft op het gebied van Chevrolet. Door beide professionele en kundige aanpak. U kunt hier daarom vooral ervanuit gaan dat de informatie die u hier vindt over de verschillende zaken vooral een grondig uitgezochte achtergrond hebben. Deze is veelal gecontroleerd en goed hierzien door de auteur en ook door verschillende andere partijen.

Wij doen onze uiterste best om de bronvermelding zo nauwkeurig mogelijk bij te houden. Mocht u eigenaar zijn van de bron en deze niet vermeld zien staan op de pagina. Dan kan ik u vragen om een bericht te versturen naar de redactie van deze website.

Als er veel over Chevrolet wordt geschreven dan is er meestal wel de kern van het artikel mede daardoor zal de informatie en de publiekelijke voorzieningen door deze worden omschreven. De vertalingen van die teksten zijn veelal goed gedaan. Echter, de blanco rapportages zijn niet voorzien van de juiste uitleg.

Een verzameling van zaken die we vooral veel vinden in relatie tot Chevrolet zijn vooral de meest voorkomende reacties in de verschillende media. We kunnen hierbij denken aan de kranten, radio en TV. Ook op het internet zien we veel terugkomen. De overheid van de lokale bevolking zou dit zeker promoten, ware het niet dat er nogal veel onkunde is op dit gebied.

Onderhouden van de Chevrolet is ook een veelgevraagd onderwerp. Het dient de voorkeur om het onderhoud te laten doen bij een gecertificeerde dealer. De aankoop is meestal voorzien van een waardebon voor gratis enkele onderhoudsbeurten. Verder kunt u natuurlijk zel veel leed voorkomen door regelmatig te controleren of alles in orde is. Naast een prijsvergelijk van de verschillende artikelen is er natuurlijk ook de voorziening om de laagste prijsgarantie bij de aaankoop te bedingen. Dit is niet mogelijk bij de tweedehands verkoop of aankoop van de produkten. Toch kan het ook hier de aanbeveling dienen als dit goed wordt besproken en dit vooral zwart op wit vast te leggen. Hiermee voorkomt u een lastige discussie wanneer er problemen optreden.

Kortom het bezit van Chevrolet is vooral een zaak van goed vooronderzoek doen en u goed te laten informeren bij diverse instanties. Verder kunt u zich aansluiten bij verenigingen waar u vast en zeker veel kunt opdoen over het reilen en zeilen omtrent dit produkt.

Waar kunt u goedkoop kopen? De goedkoopste Chevrolet zijn vooral te vinden bij winkels die het product tegen lage prijzen kunnen aanbieden. Goedkope versies zijn meestal goed van kwaliteit maar wat minder uitgebreid dan de duurdere versies. Kwalitief en goedkope Chevrolet in diverse uitvoeringen vindt u op op de onderstaande links.

Spy Photos: Release the Chevrolet HHR SS Already!
C'mon. How much more of this Chevrolet HHR SS do we have to see before the General ships it to the curb? These shots find the SS down Nürburgring way, where GM is becoming quite OCD about testing its performance-oriented models -- tuning the suspension, brakes and steering to the Green Hell's tricky bends, blind corners, and "i've killed more Grand Prix racers than you can name" comport. As is oft stated, the SS model will get the same 260-hp direct-injection turbocharged four found in the Pontiac Solstice GXP and Saturn Sky Red Line. Word is, opening day will be in mid 2007.

Fuel Sell: GM to Test Market Hydrogen-Fueled Chevrolet Equinox Models
The General answered BMW's media win last week with a hydrogen-car announcement of its own, yesterday. Chevrolet is launching a fleet of 100 Equinox fuel cell vehicles in 2007, creating what the company says is the world's largest hydrogen-powered fuel cell fleet. The SUVs will find homes with customers in California, the New York metro area and Washington, DC. It's all part of something GM calls "project driveway," which may or may not refer to the place such SUVs will be parked as their drivers search for somewhere to fuel up. Click through for press materials. Press Release: Chevrolet To Launch World's Largest Fuel Cell Vehicle Fleet More Than 100 to Debut in 2007 in First Meaningful Market Test of Fuel Cell Vehicles SAN DIEGO - General Motors committed to building the world's largest fuel cell vehicle fleet today by announcing its next-generation fuel cell vehicle - the Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell. GM will build more than 100 Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles and will begin placing them with customers in the fall of 2007, as part of a comprehensive deployment plan dubbed "Project Driveway." Designed to gain comprehensive learnings on all aspects of the customer experience, Project Driveway constitutes the first meaningful market test of fuel cell vehicles anywhere. A variety of drivers - in differing driving environments - will operate these vehicles and refuel with hydrogen in three geographic areas: California, the New York metropolitan area and Washington D.C. "General Motors is demonstrating its commitment to hydrogen fuel cells as the answer for taking the automobile out of the environmental debate and reducing our dependence on petroleum," said Larry Burns, GM vice president, research & development and strategic planning. "The Equinox Fuel Cell is powered by GM's most advanced fuel cell propulsion system to date, and demonstrates an important milestone on our pathway to automotive-competitive fuel cell propulsion technology development." Enabled by GM's fourth-generation fuel cell propulsion system, the Equinox Fuel Cell is a fully-functional crossover vehicle, engineered for 50,000 miles of life. Importantly, the Equinox Fuel Cell is able to start and operate in sub-freezing temperatures during its 50,000-mile life. It is expected to meet all applicable 2007 U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and is equipped with a long list of standard safety features including driver and passenger frontal air bags and roof rail side-impact air bags; anti-lock braking system (ABS); StabiliTrak stability enhancement technology and OnStar, while providing all of the environmental benefits of hydrogen fuel cell technology. "The Equinox Fuel Cell is a real-world vehicle with real-world performance," said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. "The fuel cell technology is seamlessly integrated into a uniquely styled crossover vehicle that is distinctively Chevrolet. The Equinox Fuel Cell joins Chevrolet's family of advanced gas-saving and alternative fuel vehicles." The Project Driveway market test will provide comprehensive insight into all aspects of the customer experience, including reaction to the exciting, smooth and quiet performance of a fuel cell vehicle, and refueling with clean hydrogen gas. "These learnings will directly influence future fuel cell vehicle generations and ultimate market acceptance," Peper said. "With Chevrolet being GM's global volume brand, it makes sense that Chevy will lead GM's fuel cell vehicle commercialization charge."

A Whole Different Kind of Fuelie: GM's Sequel to Be a Chevrolet
Chevrolet aficionados may remember the first fuelies as having nothing at all to do with fuel cells. Now, GM has decided to brand its Sequel hydrogen-electric SUV as a protocar of the people -- a plebean Chevy rather than a relatively rarified Cadillac or Saab. The announcement comes at the head of a major media push that will include a press driving event in California today. We've got a previous engagement to attend to (hmm, Pert or Johnson's Baby Shampoo?), so we can't make it, but the boys who travel the road that's none so straight will be there to report back on who's wearing what.

Spy Photos: 2007 Chevrolet Aveo, Episode II: The Hatchback Strikes...Err...Back?"
Enterprising spy photog Chris Doane, creator of the moniker "Sloppy Jalopy" (don't ask) snagged some pics of the as-yet unreleased hatchback brother to the already released 2007 Chevy Aveo sedan. The "hot-hatch" shows off a much larger, more aggressive Chevrolet bisected fascia similar to what we've seen in recent Malibu spy photographs. More importantly, there's also a two-slot side vent located above the repeater lamp on either side of the car -- Doane claims it ain't some engineer's idea of a joke (and what a joke, let us tell you) -- but it's non-Memorex. With expected pricing to continue under $10,000 -- probably without the side vents -- this hatch is sure to be the one of the most bargain of bargain basement buys. And with expected mileage rating of 27/37, it'll be pretty cheap to operate too. Now all you'll need is one for the other foot too. C&G Exclusive - 2007.5 Chevrolet Aveo Hatchback Spy Shots and Info!

Chevrolet to Unveil Touring Car Championship Concept
Chervrolet's planning a run at the Paris show crowds with a race car concept based on its Epica economy car. The WTCC Ultra, the company says, is a ready-to-drive study that gets its gumption from a 190-hp diesel engine that may be a version of the Epica's 2.0-liter common-rail diesel. GM calls it a "a design icon that bends the present WTCC regulations." We're sure the World Touring Car Championship guys will enjoy being tweaked like that. They're nothing if not a bunch of real cutups over at the FIA. Related: Chevrolet: Epica is the New Hotness [internal]

GM's New Truck Hotness, Part I: The 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab
The General's announced the most important pickup truck in the company's history today, and for once, the hype on product development may match the product. Although we've not yet been able to drive it, the new 2007 Chevy Silverado looks...and feels (literally) better than previous models. The Silverado, based on the new GMT-900 platform, which underpins a number of GM's new large SUVs, including the '07 Tahoe, boasts some very important features in areas the truck-buying demographic is very hip to...with GM's new Gen IV small-block V8 engines combined with its stronger chassis, the Silverado delivers the light-duty segment's highest-rated towing capacity (10,500 pounds), horsepower (367 hp) and fuel economy, with a maximum payload capacity of 2,160 pounds. But the new Silverado doesn't skimp on the creature comforts, and most important, when you get inside...it feels more substantial than the old GMT series. To be honest, at least one of us can't wait to get our hands on one this fall. In the meantime, feast on the pictures below and the full press release after the jump. showGallery('2007 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab', 'jalopnik');ALL-NEW 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO: A NEW GENERATION OF THE INDUSTRY'S MOST DEPENDABLE PICKUP TRUCK Segment-leading power, pulling and fuel economy highlight Silverado's diverse range of capabilities DETROIT - Chevrolet introduced the all-new 2007 Silverado - the newest generation of the industry's most dependable pickup truck is the strongest Silverado yet, delivering segment-best power and fuel economy. The '07 Silverado lineup is built on an all-new platform that supports a smoother ride and responsive, confident handling while delivering segment-leading capability and power. A lineup of six powerful, Gen IV small-block V-8 engines complements the stronger chassis to deliver the light-duty segment's highest-rated towing capacity (10,500 pounds / 4,763 kg), horsepower (367 hp / 274 kW) and fuel economy, with a maximum payload capacity of 2,160 pounds (980 kg). "Silverado has always been the most dependable, longest lasting pickup truck, and the 2007 lineup extends that legacy with industry-leading advancements in capability, quality, safety and fuel economy," said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. "Silverado owners form a partnership with their trucks; they are the everyday heroes who value the durability and dependability of a Silverado to get the job done. Our guiding philosophy during the development of the new truck was delivering the confidence that comes with driving the strongest, most dependable and longest lasting trucks on the road." Silverado's quality reputation is supported by independent customer verification, including the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Initial Quality Survey. Last year, Chevrolet Silverado light-duty models topped the Large Pickup category, and the heavy-duty models tied for second place with GMC Sierra. "New features such as standard StabiliTrak are the latest in a history of industry-leading innovations," said Peper. "The new Silverado represents the continuing evolution of Chevy's strong pickup truck building heritage - a heritage recognized by generations of Chevy truck owners, many of whom have shared their stories with us and joined Silverado's 200,000 mile club, an online community of Silverado owners." The '07 Silverado light-duty models are available in the fourth quarter of 2006. Heavy-duty models are available in the first quarter of 2007. There are three cab styles - regular, extended and crew cab - and three cargo box lengths: 5 foot 8 inches (short), 6 foot 6 inches (standard) and 8 foot (long). The pickup is available in three trim levels: WT, LT and LTZ, and is available in 2WD and 4WD. LS badging is available through an exterior styling option package on this year's model. Pure pickup design The all-new Silverado's exterior design delivers on its reputation as the industry's strongest, most dependable and longest-lasting pickup truck. It has a broad, chiseled face, which accents a broad-shouldered stance and gives the Silverado a powerful, muscular presence. The front-end appearance is unique to Silverado, including the front fenders, grille, headlamps, bumpers, power dome hood, tail lamps, box design and flared rear fenders. A large grille, wider and taller than previous models, and a prominent gold bow tie are flanked by premium-look, reflector-optics headlamps. The power dome hood rises from the front end, alluding to the workhorse power plant beneath it, and the fast, 57-degree sloped windshield conveys improved fuel economy due to enhanced aerodynamics. The large, vertically stacked headlamps are pushed to the outer edges of the body and have a detailed, jeweled appearance that reinforces the trucks' refinement. A chrome bumper is standard on LT trim level models, while LTZ trim level models receive body-color bumpers. The door handles are robust, grab-style designs, which are designed for easy use with gloves. The popular Z71 Off Road package returns with unique exterior appointments and body side identification. Silverado models are offered with a range of 17-, 18- and 20-inch wheels. Eighteen-inch wheels are standard with the Z71 package. Twenty-inch wheels are available on LT and LTZ models. Nine exterior colors are offered: Dark Blue Metallic, Desert Brown Metallic, Greystone Metallic, Black, Blue Granite Metallic, Summit White, Silver Birch Metallic, Victory Red and Sport Red Metallic. Spacious, refined interior The new Silverado features two completely distinct interiors to meet the diverse needs of today's pickup consumer. The WT and LT trim levels feature the pure pickup interior and the LTZ trim level features the same luxury-inspired interior that is currently available on Chevrolet's LTZ-trim full-size utilities. Silverado models are more spacious inside, with increased storage capacity. Spaciousness is enhanced with new, "low and forward" instrument panels. The instrument panel offered as part of the LTZ trim level is 5 inches lower and farther forward than the previous model. The WT and LT trim level features an instrument panel that is 3.5 inches lower and farther forward. The pure pickup interior offered on WT and LT trim levels features larger controls and door handles that are easier to use with gloves. A large-capacity, double glove box is integrated into the instrument panel. Cloth seats are standard on WT and LT models; leather seating is available on LT models along with a six-way, power-adjustable driver seat. A new, lockable in-seat storage bin is built into a new 40/20/40-split bench; it is large enough to store a laptop computer and features a 12-volt power outlet. WT models are offered in a Dark Titanium interior color; LT models are offered in Ebony or Ebony/Light Titanium and Ebony/Light Cashmere combinations. LTZ models feature a luxury-inspired interior with a unique instrument panel, door panels, larger-capacity center console that offers 20.1 liters of undivided storage and other distinct trim. A heated, 12-way, power-adjustable leather driver seat is standard, along with a six-disc CD/MP3-capable audio system, Bose speaker system and heated windshield washer system. Crew cab LTZ models add rain-sensing automatic windshield wipers, a rear-seat audio system and large glove box that offers approximately 5 liters of storage capacity. LTZ interior color schemes include Ebony, Dark Titanium/Light Titanium and Ebony/Light Cashmere combinations. The rear seats for crew cab and extended cab models are improved with more supportive cushion material, firmer support structures and revised seat back angles. Extended cab models offer more legroom. Standard on crew cab models and available on extended cab models is a new, stadium-style rear seat with a 60/40-split design and folding center armrest. It can be easily folded up with one hand, without using a release handle, to provide an uninterrupted load floor. Or, either section of the split seat can be stowed independently, allowing room for both cargo and a rear-seat passenger. Entry to the rear seat/storage area of extended cab models is eased with new rear access doors that open 170 degrees. Power-operated rear side windows lower completely into the 170-degree access doors, providing 100 percent openness on LT and LTZ trim level vehicles. A power sliding rear window is available on extend cab and crew cab configurations with LT and LTZ trim levels. Confident and capable driving experience Built on GM's new full-size truck platform, the '07 Silverado incorporates features such as a new, fully boxed frame, coil-over-shock front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. It supports wider front and rear tracks - approximately 3 inches (76.2 mm) wider in front and 1 inch (25.4 mm) wider in the rear - that enhance stability and driving confidence through a more secure road feel. Responsive ride and handling traits deliver a heightened feeling of control while supporting class-leading capability, including segment-best towing capacity of 10,500 pounds (4,763 kg) and a maximum payload of 2,160 pounds (980 kg). The front suspension consists of an all-new, coil-over-shock design that delivers linear, solid and unwavering ride-and-handling characteristics on all road surfaces. Also new is a rack-and-pinion steering system that provides precise and responsive control and enhanced on-center feel. A revised Hotchkiss-type rear suspension provides superior isolation and ride with a new, splayed arrangement for the shock absorbers. The all-new Silverado will come with five suspension systems, each tailored to suit specific driving requirements. They include: ? Z83 - Delivers a solid, smooth ride with monotube front shocks and twin-tube rear shocks. ? Z85 - Designed for enhanced handling and trailer towing, with monotube front and rear shocks. ? Z71 - Delivers enhanced off-road capability; features specific monotube front and rear shocks. ? Z60 - Designed for maximum street performance and offered with 20-inch wheels. ? NHT - Designed for maximum towing capacity; it includes monotube rear shocks, 17-inch wheels and off-road tires, and high capacity rear springs A high-capacity brake system with a new, four-channel ABS system provides superior stopping capability. ABS is standard on all models and is linked to the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system to help mitigate the occurrence of rollover events. GM's sophisticated StabiliTrak electronic stability control system is standard on Crew Cab models and available on extended cab models - and is a segment exclusive. Partnered with new brake system and four-channel, four-sensor electronic brake controls, the system provides more precise, controlled ABS stops, as well as enhanced traction/yaw stability. Silverado models are powered by an efficient lineup of engines, led by the segment's highest-rated V-8 engine family. Advanced technology, such as Active Fuel Management (AFM) and variable valve timing (VVT), helps Silverado deliver the segment's best fuel economy. A FlexFuel engine is available - and partnered with fuel-saving AFM - giving customers the choice of powering their truck with E85 ethanol, gasoline or a combination of both fuels. Light-duty engine offerings include: ? 4.3L V-6 (LU3), rated at 195 hp (145 kW) and 260 lb.-ft. of torque (353 Nm). It is standard on WT regular cab and 2WD extended cab models. ? 4.8L V-8 (LY2), with iron block; rated at 295 hp (220 kW) and 305 lb.-ft. of torque (414 Nm)*. It is standard on WT 4WD extended cab, LT regular cab and extended cab models, and WT and LT crew cab models. ? 5.3L FlexFuel V-8 (LMG), E85-capable with iron block and Active Fuel Management, rated at 315 hp (235 kW) and 338 lb.-ft. of torque (458 Nm)*. This engine is available on all models. ? 5.3L FlexFuel V-8 (LC9), E85-capable with aluminum block and Active Fuel Management, rated at 315 hp (235 kW) and 338 lb.-ft. of torque (458 Nm)*. It is available on all models. ? 5.3L V-8 (LH6), with aluminum block and Active Fuel Management, rated at 315 hp (235 kW) and 338 lb.-ft. of torque (458 Nm)*. It is available on crew cab 4WD models. ? 5.3L V-8 (LY5), with iron block and Active Fuel Management, rated at 315 hp (235 kW) and 338 lb.-ft. of torque (458 Nm)*. This engine is standard on LT and LTZ models; it is available on all other models. ? 6.0L V-8 (L76), with aluminum block, variable valve timing and Active Fuel Management, rated at 367 hp (274 kW) and 375 lb.-ft. of torque (508 Nm)*. It is available on LT and LTZ extended and crew cab models as part of the maximum trailering package. The engines are backed by proven Hydra-Matic electronically controlled automatic transmissions, including the proven 4L60 four-speed automatic and, with the 6.0L engine, a high-capacity 4L70 four-speed automatic. The maximum trailering package combines the 6.0L V-8 and 4L70 four-speed transmission with a heavy-duty 9.5-inch rear axle, locking differential, 4.10 axle ratio, heavy-duty cooling system and other enhanced features to enable the segment-best towing capacity of 10,500 pounds (4,763 kg). Safety and security Silverado delivers 360 degrees of safety protection through a stronger frame and body structure as well as industry- and segment-leading technology. It is also designed to provide increased compatibility with other vehicles. New features include segment-first StabiliTrak electronic stability control with rollover mitigation technology, roof-mounted head curtain side air bags, which are integrated into strengthened chassis and body structures to provide excellent passenger protection, and segment-first safety belt pretensioners that activate during a rear-end crash. The head curtain side air bags are available on LT and LTZ models. Driver control dynamics are enhanced by wider front and rear tracks, as well as more responsive suspensions - including a new coil-over-shock front suspension design and rack-and-pinion steering. Additional safety features are offered on Silverado, including factory-installed remote vehicle starting (segment exclusive), Autotrac active transfer case to help keep the vehicle sure-footed in slippery driving situations, Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist and a revised, easier-to-use tire pressure monitoring system. All retail models come standard with the OnStar Generation 7 system, including a one-year subscription to the Safe & Sound plan. The OnStar service includes the General Motors Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN) system, making crash data available to emergency services to potentially dispatch the appropriate life-saving personnel and equipment to crash scenes faster. If the vehicle is in a crash that activates an air bag, the OnStar system automatically notifies an OnStar advisor who will check on the occupants or summon emergency help if necessary. OnStar also can assist authorities in locating a vehicle if it is reported stolen and provides remote door-unlocking service (for vehicles equipped with power locks). * SAE certified. A new voluntary power and torque certification procedure developed by the SAE Engine Test Code committee was approved March 31, 2005. This procedure (J2723) ensures fair, accurate ratings for horsepower and torque by allowing manufacturers to certify their engines through third-party witness testing. GM was the first auto manufacturer to begin using the procedure and expects to use it for all newly rated engines in the future. Related: Come Pick Me Up: GM Pickup Launch Today via Web [internal]

Ad Watch: Chevrolet Is As American As Fantasy Leagues, Steroids and Cuban Players Lying About Their
Chevy, continuing with the whole gameplan of making people wish their dad would have played ball with them more rather than beating them with a baseball bat -- has a new, yet old, ad out touting Chevrolet's connection to baseball. Deutsch/LA spliced footage from the old Campbell-Ewald ad "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet", which aired way back in 1974. They've thrown in a new twist or two -- and it ends up being a fairly entertaining ad -- once you forget what hot dogs were made from back in '74.

Chevrolet: Epica is the New Hotness
AutoWeek reports from Bern, Switzerland (we spent a week there one night), where the new Chevrolet Epica became the first GM model designed and built in its entirety by GM-Daewoo Auto & Technology's design team of Korea. AW says the styling will inform lots of new GM-Daewoo products for the US -- including the next Aveo and the Captiva SUV -- though the Epica won't make it over as is. It's all part of Chevrolet's push to grow its market share in Europe, where it's an economy brand, and continue to grow sales. (It's growth on the continent was 8.9% in the first quarter of 2006).
