Overview & Reviews
Chevrolet sells an impressively wide range of vehicles, from subcompact hatchbacks to huge vans and SUVs. If you're looking for a reasonably priced vehicle, odds are that Chevy will have something to fit your needs.
Chevrolet got its start in 1911. After William C. Durant had been ousted from General Motors, he joined forces with Swiss-born racecar driver Louis Chevrolet to found the Chevrolet Motor Car Company. The company's first offering was the Classic Six. Introduced in 1912, this five-passenger touring sedan could top 65 mph, fast for the time. Chevrolet's storied bowtie logo -- reportedly inspired by the wallpaper of a Paris hotel room that Durant stayed at -- made its first appearance in 1914.
By 1918, Chevrolet's profitability allowed Durant to purchase enough shares in GM to regain control. Chevrolet became another division of GM, and was its largest volume division by the mid-1920s. By 1927, Chevrolet outsold rival Ford, with sales in excess of 1 million units.
In the mid-1930s Chevrolet introduced independent front suspension, which provided a smoother ride over the rough roads of the day. The 1940s saw continued success with affordable coupes, sedans and pickup trucks catering to American families, farmers and businessmen.
By the mid-1950s, Chevrolet, GM's entry-level division, had added a V8 engine, power steering and brakes, power windows and air-conditioning to its list of available features, allowing luxury for those on a tighter budget. Around this time the iconic Bel Air model -- available in coupe, sedan, convertible and wagon body styles -- proved very popular. The company introduced its alluring Corvette in 1953; the vehicle was the first mass-produced car with a fiberglass body.
The 1960s saw the unveiling of the popular, air-cooled Corvair compact, which held the distinction of being the first domestic production car with all-around independent suspension. That decade also witnessed the launch of the compact Nova, the midsize Chevelle and the sporty Camaro, the latter Chevrolet's answer to the wildly successful Ford Mustang. The Camaro proved an instant hit, comprising 10 percent of Chevrolet's total sales in 1967, its first year of production.
In the 1970s, Chevy responded to changing preferences by introducing small cars like the Vega and the Chevette, and by downsizing larger models such as the Caprice and Malibu. The company combated the market domination of foreign nameplates in the 1980s by rolling out the Cavalier. By the end of that decade, trucks and SUVs had started to become increasingly popular with the general consumer, and the brand's mid- and full-size models continue to this day to be some of the most popular on the road.
The '90s and the early 2000s saw the company raising the performance bar with its Corvette (notably the Z06 and, later, ZR1 variants) and reincarnated Impala SS. Chevrolet's Silverado pickup truck and Tahoe/Suburban SUVs continued to be hits as well. By 2010, the Camaro had returned to the lineup after a seven-year hiatus.
Modern times have seen Chevrolet make significant improvements in its small and midsize car models and introduce the Volt plug-in hybrid. The latter provides a nearly 40-mile range on electric power alone, and adds to the company's already well-rounded lineup of cars, trucks and SUVs. Though today's marketplace is very demanding, Chevrolet seems poised to remain a power player through its affordable and innovative vehicles.

ONE GREAT TRUCK - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
By Spectracam - August 11 - 2:00 amThis is one beautiful truck. In fact Its my second Chevy Suburban in a row (the first in 2001). The combination of world class design, styling and build made my choice to go with another Suburban easy. Both vehicles were/are flawless. In my opinion Its the finest example of a SUV on the planet.

By Charlie Mac - August 11 - 2:00 amI have been driving Tahoes for several years they were a nice vehicle when I first started purchasing them, they have seem to improve with each design and the engine preformance and handling is top-shelf.

The best SUV for its cost - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
By Desiree Petraro - August 10 - 5:23 pmI cant say enough about the Equinox. It is an extremely smooth & comfortable ride. The tinted rear windows are a great feature for those with children. I love the compass & temperature built right into the mirror. A++++

Get em while they last. - 2004 Chevrolet Blazer
By CelticRonin - August 10 - 2:00 amThis is the last year for an American 2 door SUV. This trusck has it all. Dont look for a car like ride. This is an old fashioned 4 wheel drive truck. You know, what they segment originally was. At home on the road or off, the Blazer ZR2 is the perfect truck in all weather. Going to Costco, picking up the dog from the vet, or camping, hunting and fishing...the ZR2 does it all.

And Great Gas Mileage Too! - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
By Marshal888 - August 10 - 2:00 amThe most amazing thing about the Corvette is the gas mileage on the open road. My 99 got 32.7 mpg with an automatic trans and my 2003, Z06 gets 31 mpg. The only time gas mileage suffers is when your playing or when I drove this beast up Mount Washington in New Hampshire. It was first gear all the way up to 6000 ft. plus. Coming down the mountain was another story. Overall the value is there. Plenty of storage for luggage. If I had to say one bad thing about this car if would have to be the cup holder. Its useless!

Get It Now - 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe
By sgphilips - August 10 - 2:00 amI researched the Tahoe for the best price using Edmunds and CarsDirect. The day before I go to make the offer the dealer called and said they were offering the Tahoes at $12k below MSRP. It was an offer that I couldnt refuse. I knew that the dealers and GM had to do something to clear their SUV inventory but I had no idea that they would offer what they have at this much of a discount.
