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…

Helping U.S. troops and veterans is not a new initiative for American Automaker, Chevrolet.  Service members seeking a new Chevrolet have long been granted the GM Military Discount. And, in 2009, Chevrolet joined forces with not only Cell Phones for Soldiers (a program aimed at collecting millions-of-dollars worth of used cell phones at dealerships so that troops can call home and talk with their families), but also the Travis Manion Foundation (a group dedicated to helping U.S. veterans and Fallen Hero survivors).

It was then, roughly two years ago, when Chevrolet first decided that these two partnerships were…

If you frequent the Coastal Chevrolet blog you likely know just how excited we are for the all-new Camaro ZL1 to grace our showroom floors, early this spring. If this is your first time here, we'll say simply that we're more excited than we ever were as kids, on Christmas Eve. And we guarantee that if you enjoy the feeling of adrenaline surging through your veins, you're going to be just as giddy.

To date, we know that the Camaro triumphs at least three super sports cars in terms of horsepower: the R8 GT, Gran Turismo and…

Chevrolet has been taking notes. Specifically, they've been monitoring police cruisers, identifying a long list of things that could be improved to help cops do their jobs better, and ultimately provide them with greater comfort.

After they finished identifying ways to tailor a car specifically for the men and women in blue, Chevy went to work creating the all-new 2012 Chevrolet Caprice PPV. After taking our first look at the Caprice PPV, we can say it is a finely crafted tool of the trade - certain to win over even the most discerning police officers out there.

Among the Chevy…

This fall, Chevrolet will celebrate one-hundred years of success. True, they kicked off the party very early on in 2011. But, November 3 is the official date.

Given the significance of the occasion, we would like to spend a moment reviewing the origins of Chevy's easy-to-recognize logo: the bowtie.

The bowtie, which some say looks more like a cross, was reportedly the fruit of William Durant's travels. William Durant, as you may or may not know, is the co-founder of Chevrolet. According to what is perhaps the most widely accepted account of the logo's origins printed in…

Chevrolet drivers have two new apps available to them. Designed to help owners further simplify their lives and optimize the lifespan of their Chevy vehicles, they are: myChevrolet App Version 1.3 and OnStar RemoteLink app (replaces Onstar RemoteLink).

Why download myChevrolet Version 1.3? Powered largely by Google Maps, it provides fast, remote connectivity that promises time savings and potential cost savings. One driver who downloaded the app, reports "Works great with my 2011 Chevrolet Traverse."¹

NEW myChevrolet App Features
-    Dealer locater
-    Routine maintenance scheduler
-    Easy roadside assistance accessibility
-    Parking-spot tagging
-    Parking-meter alarms
-    Up-to-date details on special offers…

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 Chevrolet Camaro ZL 1 was a performance master from the day it first debuted in 1969. And now, Chevrolet is bringing it back as the most technologically advanced Camaro ever built.

"The 2012 Camaro ZL1 is about high-tech performance and design, and is a type of car no one has ever brought to this segment previously," says Rick Sheidt, Vice President Marketing, Chevrolet. "It's the most technically advanced Camaro ever, so we've chosen a name from the most elite and exclusive Camaro in history."¹

Up until now, many of the specs surrounding the new 2012 Chevrolet…
