2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
December 23rd, 2006
The 2007 Silverado 1500 is Chevrolet’s brand new half-ton pickup, that is available in Regular Cab, Extended Cab, and Crew Cab versions with a choice of three different box sizes: 5 feet 8 inches, 6 feet 6 inches and 8 feet. The next-generation redesign for 2007 is built on a new platform for a smoother ride and more responsive handling, and offers six Gen IV small-block V8 engines.
2006 Chevrolet Niva
December 22nd, 2006
The 2006 Chevy Niva is built in a joint-venture with Russia’s number-two automaker, AvtoVAZ, and is based on the Soviet-era LADA Niva that’s been the Eastern bloc’s personal 4×4 of choice since its launch in 1977. Both are unibody trucks with control-arm front and live-axle rear suspensions, and each comes with a standard five-speed stick and two-range transfer case. Relative to the U.S. market’s smallest true 4×4, the Suzuki Grand Vitara, the Niva is 16.4 inches shorter, on an 8.3-inch-longer wheelbase-good for smoothing out rough roads.
2006 Chevrolet Uplander
November 26th, 2006
The 2006 Chevrolet Uplander is hands-down the best minivan GM has ever offered. The Chevy Uplander puts GM on much better footing in one of the auto industry’s most competitive segments. Uplander comfortably seats seven, with a choice of individual captain’s chairs or a two-place bench seat in the second row. And it takes care of its passengers in a well-designed, nicely finished interior.
The base LS model offers a high level of standard equipment, including a subscription to GM’s OnStar tele-aid service. Uplander also offers the unique PhatNoize removable hard drive, which allows its onboard entertainment system to play or display everything from MP3 music files to family photos to video games to the latest movie releases.
