			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/2012/02/09/chevrolet-cruze-station-wagon-to-debut-in-geneva"><img class="size-full wp-image-117777 aligncenter" title="Chevrolet Cruze Station Wagon Teaser" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/chevroletcruzestationwagon-teaser.jpg" alt="Chevrolet Cruze Station Wagon Teaser" width="627" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>While we won&#8217;t be getting it in the United States, General Motors has just released a picture of the Chevrolet Cruze station wagon that will debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show next month. The station wagon variant will be joining the sedan and the hatchback (another trim we wish we got in the U.S. but don&#8217;t) in the Cruze&#8217;s European lineup.</p>
<p><strong><em>Check out more news on the <a title="Chevrolet Cruze" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet-cruze">Chevrolet Cruze</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Cruze station wagon caters to an important market segment. It ticks all the boxes for European drivers in terms of distinctive design, dynamic driving, space and economy,&#8221; said Chevrolet Europe President and Managing Director Susan Docherty.</p>
<p>GM even goes out of its way to rub it in the face of Americans in the press release stating: &#8220;The new station wagon, which is not planned for sale in North America, features generous storage space and a choice of powerful and efficient engines as well as the state-of-the-art Chevrolet MyLink onboard infotainment system.&#8221; &#8211; Of course, us Americans hate space, efficiency and state-of-the-art infotainment systems.</p>
<p><span id="more-117776"></span></p>
<p>Power for the Chevrolet Cruze Station wagon will come from a range go engine when it goes on sale in Euro later this summer. The power train lineup will include a 1.6L and 1.8L gasoline engines, a new 1.4L turbo gasoline, a new 1.7L diesel and an improved 2.0L diesel engine.</p>

	<p>Eli Manning is on top of the world. After proving that he is not only in the league of top tier quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Manning proved that he can take down top tier quarterbacks and lead his team to a Super Bowl victory.</p>
<p>Besides celebrating the win, Eli received a brand new 2012 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible Centennial Edition in recognition of his tremendous effort on the field in the Giants’ 21-17 win over the New England Patriots.</p>

<p><strong><em>Check out more news on the <a title="Chevrolet Corvette" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet-corvette">Chevrolet Corvette</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p>The car was presented to Eli by Chevrolet, the official sponsor of the Super Bowl XLVI MVP Award, during the post game show.</p>
<p>The Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Convertible comes with a 6.2 liter V8 making 436-hp and 424 lb-ft of torque. That allows it run from 0 to 60 mph in just 4 seconds. The black-on-black model that Eli received was a Chevrolet Centennial edition that commemorates 100 years of the brand&#8217;s history.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-117027 aligncenter" title="Chevrolet Silverado Commercial Super Bowl XLVI" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/chevroeltsilverado-superbowlad.jpg" alt="Chevrolet Silverado Commercial Super Bowl XLVI" width="627" height="353" /></p>
<p>Automakers stole the show when it came to Super Bowl XLVI commercials. However, behind the scene FoMoCo was complaining about a <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/2012/02/03/chevrolet-silverado-super-bowl-xlvi-commercial/">Chevrolet Silverado commercial that took a stab at Ford</a>. Apparently, General Motors ignored a request from Ford to cancel the commercial before it made its television debut last night.</p>
<p>The ad, which shows the <a title="Chevrolet Silverado" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet-silverado">Chevrolet Silverado</a> being the only truck to survive an apocalypse, takes a stab at Ford when one of the main characters asks about the fate of one his friends.</p>
<p>&#8220;Dave didn&#8217;t drive the longest lasting, most dependable truck on the road,&#8221; another friend tells him. &#8220;Dave drove a <a title="Ford" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/category/ford">Ford</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s important is that Ford is proud to be the best-selling truck in America for 35 years, the best-selling vehicle for 30 years and the only brand with more trucks on the road with more than 250,000 miles &#8212; demonstrating just how durable our trucks are in the real world,&#8221; Ford said in a statement.</p>
<p>The General isn&#8217;t backing down, however. &#8221;We stand by our claims in the commercial, that the Silverado is the most dependable, longest lasting full-size pickup on the road,&#8221; said Joel Ewanick, GM Global Chief Marketing Officer in a statement. In the meantime, people who are really worried about the Mayan calendar coming true should buy a Silverado right away.&#8221; Ewanick jokingly added.</p>
<p><em>Check out the commercial for yourself after the jump</em>.</p>

<p>General Motors has released yet another commercial for Super Bowl XLVI called &#8217;2012.&#8217; The commercial is based around the <a title="Chevrolet" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/category/chevrolet">Chevrolet</a> Silverado and shows off how reliable the truck is in a 60-second.</p>
<p>The ad is focused around the Silverado navigating the devastation and destruction predicted to occur this year by the Mayan calendar.</p>
<p><strong><em>Check out more news on the <a title="Chevrolet Silverado" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet-silverado">Chevrolet Silverado</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;A group of friends, who are Silverado owners, makes its way to the designated meeting spot but notice one of their buddies is missing, GM said about the ad in a statement. &#8220;The missing friend, unfortunately, drives another manufacturer’s truck and doesn’t appear to have made it to the meeting point.&#8221;</p>
<p>The ad also features a shot at the Ford F-150 but we won&#8217;t spoil it for you.</p>

	<p>General Motors has just released its Super Bowl XLVI commercial for the <a title="Chevrolet" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/category/chevrolet">Chevrolet</a> Volt for the big game on Sunday.</p>
<p>Titled &#8216;Aliens&#8217;, the 30-second spot shows the curiosity about the Volt and its electric powertrain extends to extraterrestrial beings from galaxies far, far away.</p>
<p><strong><em>Click here for more news on the <a title="Chevrolet Volt" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet-volt">Chevrolet Volt</a></em></strong>.</p>

<p><strong>Refresher</strong>: The 2012 Chevrolet Volt is powered by 16-kWh, ‘T’-shaped lithium-ion battery that powers the electric drive unit, which allows it to drive 40 miles on battery power alone. The system puts out 149-hp and a maximum torque of 273 lb-ft, allowing the Volt to go from 0-60 mph in about 9 seconds, hitting a top speed of 100 mph. The battery can be re-charged by plugging into a household outlet and takes 4 hours to recharge on 240 volts, and about 10-12 hours on a standard 120-volt outlet. The Chevrolet Volt also carries an 84-hp 1.4 4-clyinder engine that allows the five-door, FWD sedan to travel additional miles while averaging a fuel-economy of 50 mpg. A fully charged battery and full tank of gas will allow the Volt to travel 379   miles. The 2012 Chevrolet Volt gets an EPA estimated 93 miles per ’gallon-equivalent’ when driving under electric power only, 37 mpg when in gasoline mode and over the long term it is estimated to get 60 miles per gallon in combined gasoline-powered and electric-powered driving. Prices for the 2012 Chevrolet Volt start at $39,995 but with a full federal income tax credit (which range from $0 to $7,500), the Volt can cost a total of $32,495.</p>

	<p>Sales of the Chevrolet Volt dropped sharply in January with GM only selling 603 units. Blame for the drop in sales goes to the negative publicity the Volt has received from a government safety investigation.</p>
<p>January 2012 turned out to be the worst month for the Volt since August, where it was only delivered to 302 customers. During the fourth quarter of 2011, GM averaged monthly sales of 1,259 units.</p>

<p><strong><em>Check out more news on the <a title="Chevrolet Volt" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet-volt">Chevrolet Volt</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p>GM executives say that they are unable to gauge the demand for the Chevrolet Volt until May or June due to the availability being tight and some dealers still receiving their first batch.</p>
<p>In 2011, a total of 7,671 Volts were sold, way short of GM&#8217;s 10,000 goal.</p>

<p><strong>Refresher</strong>: The 2012 Chevrolet Volt is powered by 16-kWh, ‘T’-shaped lithium-ion battery that powers the electric drive unit, which allows it to drive 40 miles on battery power alone. The system puts out 149-hp and a maximum torque of 273 lb-ft, allowing the Volt to go from 0-60 mph in about 9 seconds, hitting a top speed of 100 mph. The battery can be re-charged by plugging into a household outlet and takes 4 hours to recharge on 240 volts, and about 10-12 hours on a standard 120-volt outlet. The Chevrolet Volt also carries an 84-hp 1.4 4-clyinder engine that allows the five-door, FWD sedan to travel additional miles while averaging a fuel-economy of 50 mpg. A fully charged battery and full tank of gas will allow the Volt to travel 379   miles. The 2012 Chevrolet Volt gets an EPA estimated 93 miles per ’gallon-equivalent’ when driving under electric power only, 37 mpg when in gasoline mode and over the long term it is estimated to get 60 miles per gallon in combined gasoline-powered and electric-powered driving. Prices for the 2012 Chevrolet Volt start at $39,995 but with a full federal income tax credit (which range from $0 to $7,500), the Volt can cost a total of $32,495.</p>

	<p>While the Big 3 have certainly made their mark building outstanding pickups and full-size SUV’s, when it comes to the subcompact segment, the Detroit automakers have fallen fairly short. The first of the three to offer an impressive contribution to the segment in recent years was FoMoCo, with the launch of the Ford Fiesta. Chevy is now stepping up to compete, bringing its new Aveo replacement to the market.</p>

<p>Known as the 2012 <a title="Chevrolet Sonic" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet-sonic">Chevrolet Sonic</a>, GM wants you to totally forget about the POS Aveo they used to sell before &#8211; a car that would get you extremely depressed if you received it from a rent-a-car. Now, bearing a badge with the hedgehog name like the Sonic, GM is offering something totally different and something completely better.</p>
<p>When you think of the subcompact segment, things like standard aluminum wheels, rear-seat roominess, and Corvette-engineer-tuned suspension are completely off the table. Guess what? The 2012 <a title="Chevrolet" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/category/chevrolet">Chevrolet</a> Sonic comes standard with all those features, plus some more surprising additions.</p>
<p>So is the Chevrolet Sonic better than its competitors? Let&#8217;s take a look &#8211; but we will tell you up front, it is light years ahead of the crap it replaces.</p>

<p><img class="size-full wp-image-116012 aligncenter" title="Review: 2012 Chevrolet Sonic" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/review2012chevroletsonic-exterior.jpg" alt="Review: 2012 Chevrolet Sonic" width="627" height="311" /></p>
</div>
<h2><strong>Exterior</strong>:</h2>
<p>Personally, I don&#8217;t think that the Chevrolet Sonic is bad looking car. Others on the egmCarTech staff had contrasting opinions, which leads me to believe that the Sonic has a &#8216;love it or hate it&#8217; kind of design. I found the front end of the car particularly aggressive for a subcompact. At a closer look, you’ll see that it mirrors the dynamic appeal of the Mitsubishi Lancer.</p>
<p><div class="woo-sc-quote left"><p>&#8230;Sonic has a &#8216;love it or hate it&#8217; kind of design</p></div> The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is available as a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback &#8211; the hatchback being our tester model. An interesting design feature to point out is that the motorcycle-inspired round headlamps and taillamps have no plastic covers &#8211; they sort of just hang out.</p>
<p>On both the sedan and hatchback models of the Chevy Sonic, the front end is definitely more attractive than the rear. Both models come with chrome grille surrounds, a matte black honeycomb grille and a range of aluminum wheels sized from 15 to 17 inches.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-116010 aligncenter" title="Review: 2012 Chevrolet Sonic" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/review2012chevroletsonic-interior.jpg" alt="Review: 2012 Chevrolet Sonic" width="627" height="338" /></p>
<h2><strong>Interior</strong>:</h2>
<p>Like the exterior of the Chevrolet Sonic, the interior also draws some inspiration from motorcycle design. It can be found starting from the detailed instrument cluster, which features a large, round analog tachometer set within an asymmetrical LCD readout, and an ample digital speedometer display.</p>
<p>The Sonic also delivers class-leading rear-seat roominess, connectivity features and a nice smooth ride. It is typical of the segment for there to be a lot of road-noise that leaks into the cabin &#8211; however, that is not the case with the Sonic. Driving on the highway with 3 passengers, we were able to have a full conversation about the Sonic&#8217;s design and driving dynamics.</p>
<p>Quality wise, the interior of the Sonic is quite well built. There isn’t any soft touch materials like you would find in a Volkswagen, but the materials used are so well put together that you end up with a very solid feel.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-116011 aligncenter" title="Review: 2012 Chevrolet Sonic" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/review2012chevroletsonic-performance.jpg" alt="Review: 2012 Chevrolet Sonic" width="627" height="315" /></p>
<h2><strong>Performance</strong>:</h2>
<p>This is where the Chevrolet Sonic really stands out from the crowd. Besides being able to <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/2011/10/22/video-watch-the-chevrolet-sonic-go-bungee-jumping/">bungee jump</a>, <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/2011/10/20/video-chevrolet-sonic-goes-skydiving/">skydive</a> and being used to <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/2011/12/19/video-rob-dyrdek-kick-flips-a-2012-chevrolet-sonic/">perform kick-flip stunts</a> by Rob Dyrdek, the Chevrolet Sonic&#8217;s ride and handling were tuned by Corvette engineers, giving it a more direct feel, while balancing the vehicle to handle the broad range of driving terrains across the United States.</p>
<p>The Sonic&#8217;s tight, refined chassis help it soak up road imperfections on the worst of pot-hole filled roads, while tight steering also provides some impressive control on sharp turns. All Sonics feature a MacPherson strut front suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bar and a rear suspension with a semi-independent, torsion beam axle-mount compound link-type design – featuring a tubular V-shape beam – with gas-charged shocks. In everyday normal English, that means that the Sonic packs in a smooth ride, tight handling, and an overall solid driving experience into its small frame.</p>
<p><div class="woo-sc-quote right"><p>The Sonic&#8217;s tight, refined chassis help it soak up road imperfections on the worst of pot-hole filled roads&#8230;</p></div> Power from the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic comes from two 4-cylinder choices. The standard is a 1.8 liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder Ecotec making 138-hp at 6,300 rpm with a maximum torque of 125 lb-ft at 3,800 rpm. Transmission comes in either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic.</p>
<p>Our tester model was equipped with an optional ($700 extra option) 1.4 liter turbo Ecotec 4-cylinder making 138-hp at 4,900 rpm and a peak torque of 148 lb-ft at 2,500 rpm. The 1.4 liter turbo comes exclusively with a 6-speed manual so if you&#8217;re not familiar going through the cogs, then obviously go for the 1.8 liter. However, you will be missing out on the added fun of the turbo zip (0 to 60 mph in 8.2 seconds) and better fuel-economy figures.</p>
<p>EPA rated fuel-economy for our 1.4 liter turbo tester model comes in at 29/40 mpg (city/highway). Also according to the EPA, the turbo model will allow for a driving range of 317/427 (city/highway) on a full 12.2 gallon tank. Annual fuel-costs will come in at $1,532, meaning you&#8217;ll be saving a nice chunk at the pump.</p>
<p>The 1.8 liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder unit averages 26/35 mpg for the manual and 25/35 mpg for the automatic.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-116013 aligncenter" title="Review: 2012 Chevrolet Sonic" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/review2012chevroletsonic-overall.jpg" alt="Review: 2012 Chevrolet Sonic" width="627" height="199" /></p>
<h2><strong>Overall</strong>:</h2>
<p><div class="woo-sc-quote left"><p>In my opinion, the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is a better bang-for-your buck than the Fiesta, Fit and Yaris.</p></div> So is the Chevrolet Sonic a better buy than the <a title="Ford Fiesta" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/ford-fiesta">Ford Fiesta</a>, <a title="Honda Fit" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/honda-fit">Honda Fit</a>, or <a title="Toyota Yaris" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/toyota-yaris">Toyota Yaris</a>? Well, looking at the biggest deciding factor, the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic&#8217;s price starts at $14,765 for the 1LS hatchback model ($13,865 for the sedan) and hits up to $18,495 for the range-topping 2LZ model (19,000 + if you go for the 1.4 turbo) &#8211; that&#8217;s just slightly over its closest competitors.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, the Sonic definitely outperforms its competitors when it comes to driving dynamics, interior room, and comfort. In my opinion, the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is a better bang-for-your buck than the Fiesta, Fit and Yaris &#8211; however, before you take my word for it, go test drive all the models in the segment and see which fits your lifestyle best.</p>

	<p>Two days ago we told you about two <a title="Chevrolet" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/category/chevrolet">Chevrolet</a> Sonic Super Bowl XLVI commercials that will air during the big game. General Motors has now released two videos &#8211; one teasing a commercial with a band named OK Go and the other being the full commercial showing all the stunts GM has pulled with the Sonic.</p>
<p><strong><em>Check out more news on the <a title="Chevrolet Sonic" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet-sonic">Chevrolet Sonic</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: While we&#8217;ve seen the Chevrolet Sonic go skydiving before &#8211; we&#8217;ve never really seen it pull its shoot &#8211; well, that&#8217;s about to change.</p>

<p><em>Hit the jump for the videos</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Refresher</strong>: The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is available in a sedan and hatchback variant. The standard engine on the 2012 Sonic is a 1.8L DOHC inline 4-cylinder unit making 135-hp and 125 lb-ft of torque, while an optional 138-hp 1.4L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder is also available. Prices start at $14,495 for the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic LS Sedan($15,395 for the Chevrolet Sonic LS Hatchback), which is powered by a 1.8L Ecotec making 128-hp. Prices top out at $17,295 for the LTZ Sedan and $17,995 for the LTZ Hatchback. Prices start at $14,495.</p>

	<p>The <a title="Chevrolet" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet">Chevrolet</a> Volt has been under a lot of scrutiny after a crashed Volt&#8217;s battery shorted by coolant caught on fire three weeks after a test by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Ever since, the Volt has become a top-topic for right wingers.</p>

<p><strong><em>Click here for more news on the <a title="Chevrolet Volt" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet-volt">Chevrolet Volt</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p><a title="Bob Lutz" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/bob-lutz">Bob Lutz</a>, who conceived the Volt with a team of advanced engineers, has now written an article asking right wingers to stop attacking the Volt.</p>
<p>Some of the points Lutz points out:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>Not one Chevrolet Volt has ever caught fire in normal use or in accidents. Not a single one.</em></li>
<li><em>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, even after the highly artificial crash test (placing the car on its back, even though it did not roll over in the test) nevertheless awarded the Volt NHTSA’s highest crash-safety rating: 5 stars. Volt is supremely safe.</em></li>
<li><em>The crashed Volt, its battery shorted by coolant from the period unjustifiably spent “feet up,” caught fire three weeks after said test. (I submit that this would provide adequate time for surviving passengers to exit the vehicle.).</em></li>
</ol>

	<p>Creating the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic sedan after the Sonic hatchback resulted in an unexpected expansion for GM’s designers.</p>
<p>GM originally intended to make the subcompact sedan a bit longer then the hatchback to add extra trunk space. Ending up with a model 14.1 inches longer then the hatch, the Sonic now come close in length to the Chevrolet Cruze, which falls in the compact segment.</p>
<p>&#8220;We felt very good about the balance of the hatch. As we put the sedan together at the same time, the sedan just felt, from a proportional, standpoint stubby. Proportionally it didn&#8217;t feel right,&#8221; says Ken Parkinson, executive director for GM design and Chevrolet brand champion.</p>

<p>&#8220;So we decided to add a little bit more on the rear length, pull the car together again and step back, and all of a sudden it felt really good. We knew proportionally that was the right thing to do.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-115743"></span></p>
<p>As the designers completed the design challenge, a new set of issues arose. Since the car was significantly longer than expected, they had to be sure there were no problems with manufacturing and engineering.</p>
<p>What GM ended up with is significant trunk room in a well-balanced, attractive sedan, which barely remains stuffed into the subcompact segment.</p>
<p><strong>Refresher</strong>: The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is available in a sedan and hatchback variant. The standard engine on the 2012 Sonic is a 1.8L DOHC inline 4-cylinder unit making 135-hp and 125 lb-ft of torque, while an optional 138-hp 1.4L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder is also available. Prices start at $14,495 for the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic LS Sedan($15,395 for the Chevrolet Sonic LS Hatchback), which is powered by a 1.8L Ecotec making 128-hp. Prices top out at $17,295 for the LTZ Sedan and $17,995 for the LTZ Hatchback. Prices start at $14,495.</p>

<p>GM announced today that it is starting construction next week on its new $200 million facility that will create around 180 jobs. The new plant is a part of GM&#8217;s Arlington manufacturing complex and will be responsible for producing the next generation of full-size Chevrolet Tahoes, Suburbans, GMC Yukons and Cadillac Escalades.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our investment in GM&#8217;s Arlington plant is one more example of GM strengthening the economy and creating jobs throughout the many U.S. communities where GM does business,&#8221; said GM Manufacturing Manager Larry Zahner.</p>
<p>The plant currently receives stamps from several GM plants with some pars coming from more than 1,000 miles away.</p>
<p>GM&#8217;s new investment in the facility is on top of a $331 million investment to purchase tooling and equipment and expand the Arlington Assembly Plant that was announced along with 110 additional jobs in May 2011.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stock, the Corvette ZR1 is a beast in nature, with a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 under the hood, pushing 638hp and 604 lb-ft of torque. TIKT is a German tuning house that somehow saw room for improvement in this monster, resulting in the Triple X package.</p>
<p>A new set of race shocks have been added to help handle the 1.9 inch drop in the suspension, adding breaks and a set of lightweight Zerra Ultralight Evo 2 wheels.</p>
<p><strong><em>Check out more news on the <a title="Chevrolet Corvette" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet-corvette">Chevrolet Corvette</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p>The exterior of the model was also fitted with an aero kit made of carbon fiber that comes with a new front bumper and splitter, a large rear wing, and side skirts.</p>
<p>Power is where this tuner stands out with modified camshafts, cylinder heads, compressor ratios and valve springs. The throttle valve was enlarged, along with a remapped ECU, cooling system upgrades and a fully modified exhast. These changes add up to a neck-snapping 758hp and 671.2 lb-ft of torque.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/2012/01/31/report-car-buyers-see-little-difference-among-car-brands"><img class="size-full wp-image-115515 aligncenter" title="Car Shoppers See Fewer Difference Between Car Brands" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/toyotafordchevyhonda-.jpg" alt="Car Shoppers See Fewer Difference Between Car Brands" width="627" height="349" /></a></p>
<p>A survey has been conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center that reflects the consumer’s perception of automotive brands, revealing that small car company’s credibility is on the rise in the eye of the public.</p>
<p>The 2012 Car-Brand Perception Survey compiles data based on seven different categories, including quality, value, safety, environmentally friendly/green, performance, technology/innovation, and design/style. Each category gets is own score, which is then totaled for each automaker’s overall brand-perception score. All of the scores are based on consumer option and not industry facts.</p>
<p>Maintaining its lead in consumer brand perception is Toyota, as well as other major brands, with Honda, Ford, BMW, and Chevrolet all at the top of the list. What has changed from previous years is how much these brands are leading over smaller automakers by. Toyota has seen a drop by 17 points from last year, while Honda, Ford and BMW all decreased by over 20 points. Cadillac and Chevrolet’s scores saw the smallest decrease of less then 10 points each.</p>
<p><span id="more-115383"></span></p>
<p>Taking over the lost points, at least in part, are the electric car companies, which are becoming increasingly popular. Both Tesla and Fisker were added onto the survey this year, and received better scores then some of the more reputable brands.</p>
<p>What is remaining the same from previous years are the outstanding factors consumers are basing vehicle purchases on. In order of importance they are safety, quality, value, performance, environmental friendliness, design/style, and technology and innovation. It seems that the small automakers are beginning to meet consumer needs, and should continue on in this direction.</p>

	<p>In light of the concerns of fire with the giant laptop batteries powering the Chevrolet Volt, nearly everything came to a halt as the plug-in electric hybrid was under heavy scrutiny after a Volt randomly combusted after a crash test. But after a hearing in front of a U.S. House panel with the U.S. National highway Traffic Safety Administration, nothing out of the ordinary was found and as a result, operations with the Volt restarted, complete with a new marketing campaign.</p>
<p>&#8220;The world is learning from Detroit again. And we couldn&#8217;t be prouder,” said GM’s CEO, Dan Akerson in a full report after the hearing.</p>

<p><strong><em>Check out more news on the <a title="Chevrolet Volt" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/chevrolet-volt">Chevrolet Volt</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p>In terms of the new marketing campaign, GM will be releaseing a new television spot that will first appear on News Corp’s Fox News channel.</p>
<p><em>Check it out after the jump</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Refresher</strong>: The 2012 Chevrolet Volt is powered by 16-kWh, ‘T’-shaped lithium-ion battery that powers the electric drive unit, which allows it to drive 40 miles on battery power alone. The system puts out 149-hp and a maximum torque of 273 lb-ft, allowing the Volt to go from 0-60 mph in about 9 seconds, hitting a top speed of 100 mph. The battery can be re-charged by plugging into a household outlet and takes 4 hours to recharge on 240 volts, and about 10-12 hours on a standard 120-volt outlet. The Chevrolet Volt also carries an 84-hp 1.4 4-clyinder engine that allows the five-door, FWD sedan to travel additional miles while averaging a fuel-economy of 50 mpg. A fully charged battery and full tank of gas will allow the Volt to travel 379   miles. The 2012 Chevrolet Volt gets an EPA estimated 93 miles per ’gallon-equivalent’ when driving under electric power only, 37 mpg when in gasoline mode and over the long term it is estimated to get 60 miles per gallon in combined gasoline-powered and electric-powered driving. Prices for the 2012 Chevrolet Volt start at $39,995 but with a full federal income tax credit (which range from $0 to $7,500), the Volt can cost a total of $32,495.</p>

<p>Car and Driver loves doing special features. So they’re back with their latest one for the 2012-year: the annual Lightning Lap. The competition is to compare some of the most critically acclaimed cars as of recent.</p>
<p>Taking place at Virginia’s International Raceway, the C/D team will compare a series of cars organized in various price classes and see who’s the fastest. The diversity includes and are not limited to the latest Volkswagen Jetta GLI, the Corvette ZR1, and for the first time, SUVs like the BMW X5 M and the hot new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8.</p>
<p>It really needs no explanation. And to make things more interesting, they even provided a video!</p>

	<p>GM North America President Mark Reuss has admitted that the Chevrolet Volt sales numbers have significantly dropped for the month of January due to the bad publicity currently surrounding the model.</p>
<p>Reuss sites the government investigation of the Volt crash test fire is “definitely a component” that contributes to this month’s dip in sales. In contrast, December was the model’s best month, with roughly 1,530 unit sold out of the entire year’s 7,700 total.</p>

<p>Currently, GM is changing courses with its marketing for the Volt to attempt to build the model’s reputation back up. Airing a new commercial dubbed “Morning in Hamtramck” is one of the first steps, which is an ad that emphasizes the car’s Detroit roots that will run for a month.</p>
<p>Another approach GM has taken is the “open letter to America” thanking those that stand by the car, written by CEO Dan Akerson, along with his testimony Wednesday during the Volt fire hearing. Akerson still claims the Volt is a safe vehicle, and Ray LaHood, Transportation Secretary, agrees. LaHood also denies any government interference in the investigation of the Volt fire and believes the releasing the information on the investigation was premature.</p>

	<p>Last year, in light of the influx of plug-in hybrids and electric cars, the Environmental Protection Agency revised their mileage window stickers. Now, Chevrolet upped the ante by introducing a new set of window stickers called “Ecologic environmental labels,” which go into further detail outlining a specific car’s impact to our earthly environment.</p>
<p>&#8220;Customers want companies to be honest and transparent about their environmental efforts and sustainability goals, and rightly so,&#8221; said General Motors North America President Mark Reuss. &#8220;Putting an Ecologic label on each Chevrolet is just one more way for us to share our environmental progress.&#8221;</p>
<p>Chevrolet is the first to adopt these new kind of “Ecologic” labels beginning with the new 2012 Sonic and will be appearing in dealerships across the country beginning in March of this year.</p>

<p>&#8220;Chevrolet&#8217;s goal to invest millions in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other lower-carbon projects to reduce U.S. emissions by up to 8 million metric tons demonstrates innovative corporate leadership,&#8221; said Eileen Claussen, president of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. &#8220;With this new labeling program, Chevrolet not only gives easy access to information customers want, it again shows its commitment to the environment.&#8221;<br />
<span id="more-114886"></span><br />
By breaking down the label into several parts, Chevrolet found a way to really pitch their efforts for achieving better fuel economy. The label is split up into multiple parts, outlining car&#8217;s specific impacts to the environment from the manufacturing and assembly process, to ownership and more.</p>
