Coastal Chevrolet

Chevy is giving drivers one more reason to choose the Sonic, in the 2013 model year - a new variant called the Chevy Sonic RS. Underscoring the Sonic's position as the only model in its class to feature an available turbocharged engine, the RS comes with a standard tubo powerplant that produces 138 get-up-and-go horsepower.

The exterior as been boldly redesigned to reflect this power with enhancements to aerodynamics, as well as the addition of four new exterior colors. In a word, the look is hip. The driving experience is something we could all probably use a little more of…

There are many things to look forward to in October - apples, crisp air, cozy sweaters; and in fall 2011 - the all-new, award-winning 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. It hasn't even hit the showroom floors at Coastal Chevrolet yet, and already it's earning honorary distinctions.

The recently-named IIHS Top Safety Pick features a plethora of design elements and features aimed at proving wrong the common perception that smaller cars are less safe. Starting with the body, these include a super-durable single-welded-side-ring-unit body structure and predominantly high-strength steel roll cage. Inside, outstanding safety features consist of 10 airbags...yes, 10...LATCH for…

June Chevy Cruze Sales Tops Charts 

This June, American automaker Chevrolet cruised by perennial favorites, the Big H and Cylindrical T, with its new compact, the Cruze. That's right. June U.S. sales numbers are in and they show that the Chevy Cruise was the best-selling passenger car of the month and the third best-selling model overall.

How many Cruze models did Chevy have to sell to top the charts like this? Nearly 24,900... roughly a grand more than they sold of the Malibu sedan.

The Cruze challenges "conventional compact wisdom with one simple word: more," says Chevrolet…

Finally, the general perception of diesels is changing in the U.S. We see this as a very good thing. For, there are many benefits that come with diesel-powered cars, especially as the margin between the price of diesel and gasoline continues to shrink. Perhaps the most critical, though, is the fact that diesel vehicles offer 40-60 percent better fuel economy compared to conventional gasoline-powered cars. This alone helps counterbalance the slightly more expensive cost of the engine itself.

With the foresight to see exactly where consumer preference will lay in coming years, Chevrolet has decided that it will bring…

The classic Chevrolet Impala is finally scheduled for a design change. And this time, it's going to be something special. The 2014 Impala is expected to move "upmarket" in price, features and will even become the flagship of Chevrolet's lineup. The car will offer more standard equipment than the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu.¹

Ready for the 2014 model year, this Chevrolet Impala will share its platform with the Cadillac XTS sedan, a re-engineered front-wheel-drive Epsilon platform. In other words, Impala is going from utilitarian to luxury.

Chevrolet Impala is also going to add jobs to GM facilities. The…

The next generation Chevrolet Malibu will be on dealership floors, including Coastal Chevrolet - 5905 Ogeechee Highway in Savannah, GA, sooner than expected.

According to Detroit Free Press, "Production of the 2013 Malibu will begin in January, rather than in May 2012." Confirming the report, Chevrolet spokesman Dave Darovitz, said the accelerated program "had been requested by Dan Akerson, chairman and chief executive of General Motors."

The new Malibu will be officially introduced on Chevrolet's Facebook page, as well as in person at the Shanghai Auto Show. The updated vehicle will also be shown at the New York International Auto…

You might have heard, or maybe even seen pictures, of Chevrolet's latest Special-Edition Camaro: the 2012 SL1. It's an impressive muscle car that packs a feisty punch. More than that, it's the first in a long line of forthcoming Special-Edition Camaros. That's right - according to the recent reports, Chevrolet is now planning to release two Special-Edition Camaros per year.

The next Special-Edition Chevrolet Camaro slated to roll out is inspired by the Transformers and is expected to debut just in time for the upcoming sequel Dark of the Moon in summer 2011. After that sci-fi delight…

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze delivers segment-leading features and details that challenge preconceived notions about what a compact car can be in North America.

The Cruze also affirms Chevrolet's commitment to building refined, fuel-efficient vehicles using new, small-displacement, four-cylinder engines. It is expected to deliver segment-leading fuel economy with a new Ecotec 1.4L I-4 turbo with variable valve timing - including up to 40 mpg on the highway with the Cruze Eco model.

"Cruze is…

The Chevrolet Impala family sedan continues to combine fuel efficiency and fuel options with roominess and popular standard features.

In addition to its highly competitive fuel economy, the Impala offers a long list of standard peace-of-mind amenities - including important safety…
