2012 Chevrolet Cruze LT Turbo Review
Tuesday, March 13, 2012
The automotive press was never really kind to General Motors in regards to their compact-car offerings. At least, those sold in North America. Yes, we liked the Saturn Astra, but it was overpriced, wasn't available as a four-door sedan and was sold under a failing brand. The General's volume sellers, the Chevrolet Cavalier/Pontiac Sunfire twins and Chevrolet Cobalt/Pontiac G5 twins, couldn't hold their own against the competition.

2012 Chevrolet Volt Review
Tuesday, January 17, 2012
My first indication that all was not as it should be came in the form of a knock at my door, shortly before midnight. Peering up at me on my front porch, nightgown clutched around her, was my elderly neighbour. "Lesley, there's something weird going on in your backyard." Reassuring her that it was merely a new hybrid car tucked in behind the house where it could safely re-charge, I apologized and turned back towards the warm comfort of my interrupted dreams.

2012 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ Turbo Review
Thursday, January 12, 2012
If I'm totally honest, Chevrolet has never turned my crank in the subcompact market. The Aveo to me was simply a car you bought only if you were looking for a small car and had a bank account to match. Yes, I know they sold quite well, but so did Chia Pets, and I never saw much in those either!
