2011 Chevrolet Orlando Review and Details with Wallpapers

The 2011 Chevrolet Orlando production version has been unveiled today and GM has announced that its world premiere will take place at the Paris Auto Show this fall. GM has released only the initial details a couple of photos of the 2011 Chevrolet Orlando, but they’re enough to give a first impression of their new MPV. The 2011 Chevrolet Orlando will be made available on the European market with a choice between petrol and two diesel engines. The gasoline powered 2011 Chevrolet Orlando will have a 1.8-liter engine developing 141 hp while the diesels will be 2.0-liter units with 131hp (low output) or 163 hp (high output).

Taking a closer look, you will be amazed by the theatre style seating arrangement of the Chevrolet Orlando’s three rows of seats as well as by the generous load area and the numerous storage solutions. The most ingenious is the storage area hidden behind front fascia of the audio, revealed by flipping up the face of the audio, and large enough for such items as an MP3 player, sunglasses and wallets. Also, the car has a USB port, ideal for re-charging the MP3 or iPod when on the move.
Under the hood we will find a choice of three fuel efficient engines; a 1.8-liter petrol engine delivering 141 hp, as well as two diesel units, the latest version of Chevrolet’s 2.0 litre engine with outputs of 131hp (low output) or 163 hp (high output). Four trim levels will be available and the standard equipment will include including electronic stability control, six air-bags, air conditioning and electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors. Full production of the Chevrolet Orlando starts in October 2010 with the car going on sale across Europe in early 2011.

2011 Corvette Stingray Reviews and Price with Wallpapers

The Chevrolet Corvette is an American sports car by the Chevrolet division of General Motors. The first model was designed by Harley Earl and introduced in 1953. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the corvette, a small, maneuverable warship. It has been produced in six generations in coupe, convertible, t-top coupe, and targa coupe body styles. Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, it is currently built at a GM assembly plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The National Corvette Museum, also located in Bowling Green, documents the car's worldwide history and hosts an annual National Corvette Homecoming. In 2003, the Corvette became the first and only American sports car to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The Chevrolet Corvette is often marketed as, and quoted as being "America's Sports Car". The Corvette is the official Sports Car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Test drivers report the Corvette's performance gives pricier exotics a run for their money. "No where else but in America can you find a sub-$50,000 sports car delivering 430 horsepower while returning an EPA highway fuel economy figure of 26 miles per gallon," writes Kelley Blue Book. New for 2011, the Corvette Grand Sport replaces the 2009 model's Z51 package -- adding wider wheels, revised suspension settings and Z06-size brakes.
Reviewers love the Corvette's iconic design. New for 2011 is the Corvette Grand Sport, which picks up some styling cues from the high-performance Z06 trim. Jalopnik explains, "Everything that you know and love about the Z51 will be here, but now, with the help of new Z06-derived bodywork you won't be confused with those driving lesser base-model Vettes." The Corvette is available in both coupe and convertible body styles.
The 2011 Corvette has not been crash tested by the federal government or insurance industry. It does, however, come packed with safety features -- including dual-stage front airbags. Still, some critics complain of hampered rearward visibility.

Critics report that the Corvette's cabin lacks the luxury of competitors, but is both comfortable and practical. "Large gauges, simple controls and remarkable cargo capacity (22 cubic feet in coupes and 11 cubes in the convertible) make the Vette a sports car that's easy to live with on a day-to-day basis," writes Edmunds. Still, some complain that entering and exiting its cabin is a challenge.
Chevy protects the 2011 Corvette with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Roadside assistance and courtesy transportation are included too.

2010 Camaro Complete Overview and Its Details

The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro ranks 1 out of 4 Muscle Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 17 published reviews and test drives of the Chevrolet Camaro, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The long awaited 2010 Chevy Camaro is a homerun, according to our analysis. Auto critics find that it not only looks the part of an old school muscle car, but also has the performance chops to match its bad-boy image. Not surprisingly, the Camaro was a finalist for Motor Trend's "Car of the Year."

The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro performance coupe is available in five trim levels: base LS, 1LT, 2LT, 1SS and 2SS. The first three come with the V6, while the latter two get the V8. Standard equipment for the base LS includes 18-inch black "Heritage" steel wheels, keyless entry, cloth upholstery, front bucket seats with power-reclining seatbacks, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, air-conditioning, cruise control and a CD/MP3 audio system with satellite radio and an auxiliary audio jack. The 1LT adds foglamps, 18-inch alloy wheels and a six-way power driver seat. The 2LT adds 19-inch alloy wheels, heated side mirrors, auto-dimming functionality for the driver-side and interior mirrors, additional auxiliary gauges, remote engine start (automatic transmission only), leather upholstery, heated power front seats and a Boston Acoustics sound system with steering-wheel-mounted controls, a USB audio interface and Bluetooth.
The 2010 Chevy Camaro is the no-brainer choice among muscle cars for those who enjoy spirited driving, thanks to its unbeatable combination of big power, ample grip and refined suspension tuning. It's even got enough finesse to give luxury performance coupes like the BMW 135i and Infiniti G37 some competition. We just wish the experience were less like driving a really agile tank, but the Camaro's dramatic exterior styling leaves no other option. The base V6 Camaro feels quick and sounds sophisticated -- a knockout bargain at $22,000 and change -- while the V8 model will deliver tire-evaporating torque along with that classic muscle car roar at full throttle. What's more, for all its performance capabilities, the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro still manages to be quite civil around town and on the highway in terms of both ride quality and wind/road noise.

Muscle cars have traditionally had bland interiors (a trend that continues with the Camaro's Ford and Dodge competition), but the Camaro laudably mixes retro touches like square gauge hoods and the available four-pack of auxiliary gauges with common-sense modern ergonomics. On the downside, there are a few ergonomic annoyances. The steering wheel is overstyled and doesn't fit human hands the way it should; the same goes for the bizarrely shaped manual shift knob. We also dislike the main gauges (they're hard to read) and the dead pedal (it isn't angled properly for comfortable cruising). Other issues include lackluster interior materials quality, the lack of an optional factory navigation system and the Camaro's tiny trunk opening, making loading elongated objects an exercise in frustration (golfers be warned). Backseat comfort is marginal, as you'd expect -- there's a shortage of headroom and legroom, so don't expect to use the rear quarters for more than short trips. The rear seats don't fold down, but there's a trunk pass-through.
