The Equinox seats five and is available in LS, LT and LTZ models with available all-wheel drive. When equipped with the standard Ecotec 2.4L direct-injected engine, the FWD Equinox achieves an EPA-estimated 32 mpg on the highway. That means a highway-only cruising range of up to 600 miles on a single tank of fuel. For 2012, this engine adds FlexFuel capability on vehicles with federal emissions, meaning it can operate on regular unleaded fuel, E85 ethanol or a combination of both.

A 3.0L V-6 engine is available on LT and LTZ models and delivers 25 mpg on the highway. This engine also is FlexFuel-capable on vehicles with federal emissions.

The Tahoe Hybrid’s improved fuel economy over gasoline-only models is due largely to GM’s state-of-the-art two-mode hybrid system, which helps 2WD Tahoe Hybrid models deliver an estimated 20 mpg in the city. That’s comparable to the city fuel economy of many smaller cars.

Updates for 2012 include a new hard-drive navigation radio with a USB port, Time Shift Recording capability and more. StabiliTrak now incorporates trailer sway control and hill start assist. Two new exterior colors are offered, as well: Crystal Red Tintcoat and Silver Ice Metallic.

Also new for 2012 are seat-mounted side-impact air bags for the driver and right-front passenger.

Propulsion of the Silverado 1500 Hybrid comes from General Motors’ patented two-mode hybrid system and a powerful 6.0L gas V-8, which combine to deliver all-electric driving up to 30 mph (48 km/h). The system saves fuel using electric propulsion, even when towing a trailer.

The new 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche crossover pickup

The Chevrolet Avalanche is one of the industry’s most flexible utility vehicles, combining the passenger-comfort attributes of a SUV with the cargo capability of a truck, thanks to the exclusive Midgate.

It opens to extend the cargo-carrying capability from the cargo bed’s 5-foot-3-inch-long (1.6 m) length to 8 feet 2 inches (2.5 m). It is available in LS, LT and LTZ models, with 2WD and 4WD.

When the Midgate is open and the rear seat is folded flat, Avalanche can carry 4-foot by 8-foot (1.2 m by 2.4 m) sheets of plywood with the tailgate closed. Storage compartments alongside the cargo box provide ample and lockable storage. The storage compartments also have drains, so they can be filled with ice and used as coolers.

The suggested retail price for the award-winning Volt will start at $39,995 (or $32,495 assuming a full federal tax credit of $7,500, which is subject to the customer’s eligibility). The price includes an $850 destination freight charge but excludes tax, title and license fees. The starting price of the 2012 model is more than $1,000 below the 2011 base model.

The lower base price is possible in part because of a wider range of options and configurations that come with the expansion of Volt production for sale nationally. The 2011 model was available in just seven states and the District of Columbia.

“The 2013 model year will be historic for Corvette, marking its 60th Anniversary and the final year for the current ‘C6’ generation,” said Chris Perry, vice president, Global Marketing and Strategy for Chevrolet. “We couldn’t think of a more fitting way to celebrate these milestones than bringing back one of the most-coveted combinations in the brand’s history – the Corvette convertible and a 427 cubic-inch engine.”

With the 2013 Chevrolet Spark, Chevy is taking direct aim at competitors such as the Fiat 500, the smart fortwo, and the Scion iQ with a five-door hatch capable of seating four passangers and featuring a fuel-efficient 1.2L four-cylinder engine. Why it's not being offered as a plug-in electric, with a name like Spark, is anyone's guess.

Be that as it may, the 2013 Chevrolet Spark is seen as the itsy-bitsy tiniest little wee Chevrolet ever produced, a highly efficient economical alternative to gas-guzzling SUVs that's a hell of a lot cheaper to fuel and easier to find parking for downtown.
