2012 Chevrolet Colorado Review and Pricing

This is a right-hand-drive prototype of the future Colorado, expected to go on sale in markets outside of the U.S. by late 2011, but not here or in Canada. We expect the U.S. version of the Colorado to cease production by 2010, but overseas, its a different story: GM doesnt plan to shutter its Chevy Colorado production facility in Rayong, Thailand. The company recently received $445 million in loans to expand the plant for the next-gen Colorado, code named GMI-700, and to produce four-cylinder diesel engines. The truck shown is an extended cab model. It appears to be a bit larger than the current Thai Colorado, which has also shared its GMT355 platform with the Isuzu D-Max. The nose seems to share some front-end styling with the Chevy Equinox crossover

. GM and Isuzu are not expected to share components after the new truck arrives. The two companies parted ways after GM sold its ownership stake in Isuzu in 2006. The new Colorado -- also known as the S-10 In Brazil -- will compete against the upcoming T6 Ford Ranger, new Volkswagen Amarok, and existing models from Mitsubishi, Toyota, and Nissan.

Today, yet, the spies have not usually held the brand new Ranger jackass (above), though the tiny GM pickup (right) – a deputy for a aging Chevrolet Colorado as well as GMC Canyon twins. Both mules look the bit incomparable than a models now upon a highway, yet still some-more docile than a top-dog F-150 as well as Silverado.

Still, yet, it’s misleading what a destiny has in store for these brand new trucks. The actuality which Ford as well as GM have been contrast these brand new mini-pickups in as well as around their particular domicile in southeast Michigan leads us to hold which there may, in actuality, be U.S.-spec replacements in a functions. Ford has mostly spoke of the not as big F-100-style F-150 to reinstate a Ranger, as well as Informs have shown which GM is operative upon the brand new lorry to hopefully rekindle a success which a strange Chevy S10 as well as GMC Sonoma had.

2012 VAUXHALL AMPERA Review and Pricing 2012 VAUXHALL AMPERA Production Started

2011 Vauxhall Ampera is its badged version of Chevrolet Volt. It is a pioneering new car that delivers low-emissions and it is the only real-world electric car solution for a family. It is extremely efficient, unique in the market and has a number of operating modes, maximising performance in all circumstances.

Features:

The Voltec hybrid system that powers the Ampera uses electricity to drive the wheels full-time. A 16 kW/h lithium ion battery provides power, and the gasoline engine serves only as an on-board generator. This arrangement allows th

e Ampera to cruise completely gasoline-free for up to 40 miles at all speeds. With the engine on hand to charge the batteries, an extended range of over 300 miles is expected. It can be charged using any standard 240-volt electric outlet.

The Vauxhall Ampera is an extended-range electric vehicle that is able to cover up to 40 miles by only running on electricity. The Vauxhall Ampera is also fitted with an engine generator that charges the battery, and this way the car is able to cover more that 300 miles. Inside, the cabin is similar to that of the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius, with its wraparound dash. It has leather upholstery, soft a

nd comfortable seats, and the top-notch switches from the Insignia are all high quality. With maximum torque from idle, it scorches away from a standstill, although unlike its rivals, the drive motor is eerily silent. Top speed is limited to 100mph, with 0-62mph in nine seconds, and the unique driveline provides 40 miles of battery propulsion from a full charge.
