Chevrolet Corvette

Chevrolet Corvette enthusiasts have heard the rumors for years, even decades now. Indeed, whispers of a mid-engined Corvette appearing are nothing new, but lately the chatter is more pronounced and constant, thanks to recently shared spy shots that simply cannot be ignored. Those shots were taken in January by KGP Photography, spy photographers who routinely uncover upcoming, but heavily camouflaged cars and sell these photos to popular outlets such as Automotive News, Road & Track, and Autoblog. The images captured at one of GM’s winter-proving grounds in Michigan show the outline of two and at times, three sports cars trekking on slippery surfaces in bitter conditions. Certainly, this isn’t how most Corvette owners drive, but such exposure is an important durability test requirement nonetheless. What are the…

Chevrolet began its inception in the automobile industry in 1911 with the goal of competing with Ford’s Model T. Because of some differences among the Chevrolet company owners, Louis Chevrolet eventually left the company; however, the name endured. Chevrolet was purchased by GM Motors in 1918 (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014).

The product mix and variety that Chevy has over its various vehicles would be considered a plus for me for several reasons. Having a number of vehicles to choose from allows for the Chevy brand to compete with many other automotive carmakers on different levels. The branding of chevrolet has allowed the company to compete with many of the other vehicles out there on the road (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014).

Enterprise when I was about five minutes away. When we arrived at the GMC garage, the gentleman from Enterprise was there, ready and waiting with a vehicle. He drove us to the Enterprise office located at the corner of Platte and Chelton Avenues. While we went inside to get financial matters taken care of he took the car around back and sprayed it off for us. The staff at the Enterprise office was exceptionally nice, especially Eric, who helped us. We were waited on quickly and everything was…

Corporation had, while the latter was an accumulation of lucrative assets. Barely four years (and close to $25 billion in profits) after accepting government money, General Motors is in hot water once again; facing a criminal indictment (that stemmed from actions taken more than a decade prior).

In 2002, a supplier denounces the proposed ignition switches…
