Chevy Volt Earns IIHS “Top Safety Pick” Status

by Chevrolet in the News on May 26, 2011

Already one of the most innovative and highly awarded vehicles ever built by Chevrolet, the all-new Chevy Volt also is one of the safest: Just ask the experts at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), which recently recognized the world’s first mass-produced extended-range electric vehicle with its much coveted “Top Safety Pick” honor.
Just like other Top Safety Picks, the Volt had to both offer electronic stability control—a standard feature on the Chevy—and garner the highest possible scores in IIHS evaluations of side, rear, frontal and rollover crash protection. On the other hand, one particular Volt characteristic did have a noticeable affect on its safety performance. Because of its high-efficiency battery pack, the Volt outweighs many similarly sized vehicles on the road today, and those added pounds can mean added protection to occupants.
Because size and weight affect crashworthiness, as explained by Joe Nolan, chief administrative officer for the IIHS, the Volt’s extra mass provides it with “a safety advantage over other small cars,” making it “a win-win for fuel economy and safety.”
In addition, the Volt showcases a wide range of standard safety content, including:

• GM’s StabiliTrak electronic stability control system
• Front side, knee and full-length side-curtain airbags
• LATCH (Lower Anchors and Top tethers for Children) compatibility for safety seats
• A five-year subscription to the OnStar Directions and Connections Plan with Automatic Crash Response, stolen vehicle assistance and navigation capabilities
• A driver-operated alert feature, developed in conjunction with the American Federation of the Blind, that can be used when the Volt is running in its near-silent all-electric mode to sound a warning for pedestrians (particularly those with visual impairments)

“Safety remains one of the most important factors buyers weigh when purchasing a vehicle,” said Doug Parks, Volt global vehicle line executive. “The IIHS designation reiterates the Volt as a safe, practical vehicle that can be a family’s only car—without compromises.”

Chevy Volt Captures “World Green Car Of The Year” Honors

by Chevrolet in the News on May 25, 2011

The 2011 Chevrolet Volt—the world’s first mass-produced extended-range electric vehicle—recently added another impressive recognition to its increasingly crowded trophy case when it was named “World Green Car of the Year” at the New York International Auto Show.

“The selection of the Volt as the World Green Car is a further proof point of the fuel-efficient technologies that are now being offered by the Chevrolet brand around the world,” said Rick Scheidt, vice president of Chevrolet marketing. “This award, and the others that have preceded it, validate the efforts of the development team to build a truly remarkable vehicle with the potential to transform transportation around the globe.”

And speaking of those other honors, they include being named:

• 2011 North American Car of the Year
• Motor Trend 2011 Car of the Year
• Green Car Journal 2011 Green Car of the Year
• One of Car and Driver’s 10Best for 2011
• Automobile Magazine 2011 Automobile of the Year

The Volt’s unique powertrain also was named one of Ward’s 10 Best Engines for 2011.
But that’s about what you might expect from a car that delivers such unexpectedly high marks in fuel efficiency. According to the EPA, the Volt achieves the equivalent of 95 mpg city/90 mpg highway/93 mpg combined when relying on its advanced electric propulsion system—capable of providing up to 50 miles of all-electric, no-emissions driving on a single charge—and it gets standout EPA ratings of 35 mpg city/40 mpg highway/37 mpg combined when leveraging its high-efficiency I4 engine—which, if the Volt’s battery runs low, can provide hundreds of extra miles in driving range.
As a result, in the month of March (the latest month for which full data is available), Volt drivers averaged more than 1,000 miles between fill ups. A stellar example of this kind of performance comes from Volt owner Gary Davis of Greenville, S.C., who didn’t have to buy his first tank of fuel until nearly two months after he bought his car: “In my Volt I’ve driven 4,600 miles on 8.4 gallons of gas. That’s an impressive 547 mpg that I am achieving with my Volt.”
The 2011 Volt is on sale now at select Chevrolet dealers around the country and will continue rolling out to new markets as the year goes on.

Zeigler Chevy Cruze Named to top 10 best interiors.

Chevy Cruze Named To “10 Best Interiors” List

by Chevrolet in the News on May 27, 2011

The all-new Chevrolet Cruze—in its 2LT RS trim—took home one of the industry’s most prestigious honors recently, when Chevy’s fuel-sipping compact earned a place on the annual Ward’s 10 Best Interiors list.
According to Ward’s editors:
“The Cruze illustrates clearly how the growing market for economy cars has convinced auto makers that cutting corners in the passenger compartment no longer works. Soft-touch surfaces, high-grade plastics, properly bolstered leather-appointed seats and great attention to noise reduction make the Cruze a wonderful value at $22,910.”
Of course, it’s an even better value at $16,525, which is the starting MSRP on the base Cruze. And even here, the Chevy offers plenty of high-quality materials and standard content, including 10 air bags—the most in the Cruze’s segment—along with a six-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 sound system, air conditioning, ambient lighting, power windows and door locks, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, six months of GM’s OnStar system, and more.
The sporty RS appearance package that helped the Cruze garner its recognition from Ward’s then builds on that strong foundation with further interior design touches like an uplevel instrument cluster with chrome accent rings, opaque cluster bevels and ice-blue backlighting. Also in the mix is an aggresive RS body kit for the exterior, with model-specific fascias, rocker moldings, rear spoiler and foglamps.
The 2011 Ward’s 10 Best Interiors list was based on a long list of criteria, among them being a vehicle’s materials, ergonomics, safety, human-machine interface, comfort, fit and finish, overall value, and aesthetics. Judges reviewed 51 new or significantly refreshed vehicles for this year’s recognition, eventually whittling the number down to just eight winners.

1000 miles between fill ups... Zeigler Chevrolet Schaumburg

Chevrolet Volt Is Edison Award Gold Medalist

by Chevrolet in the News on May 16, 2011

The groundbreaking 2011 Chevrolet Volt won a major new honor recently when the world’s first extended-range electric vehicle was recognized with a Gold Medal from the 2011 Edison Awards. Inspired by the persistence and excellence of American inventor Thomas Alva Edison—who earned more than 1,000 U.S. patents—the awards are given annually to recognize the top achievements in innovation from around the country.
The Volt more than lives up to that ideal, thanks to industry advances in key areas like aerodynamics and powertrain development. Hours of painstaking work in GM wind tunnels make the Volt the most aerodynamic vehicle ever sold by Chevrolet, while the car’s incredible propulsion system is allowing drivers to go more than 1,000 miles between fill ups. That’s because the Volt can deliver up to 50 miles of all-electric, no-emissions driving on a routine overnight charge.
And there’s no need to worry about “range anxiety” with the Volt, either. If its battery pack runs low, the car’s high-efficiency I4 engine can take over to deliver hundreds of more miles of driving capability at an EPA-rated 35 mpg city/40 mpg highway/37 mpg combined.
Backed by this kind of practical technology, the Volt’s long list of honors also includes:

• Motor Trend Car of the Year
• Automobile Magazine Car of the Year
• Green Car of the Year
• Popular Science Best of What’s New
• Ward’s 10-Best Engine designation

“Being selected as an Edison Award winner validates our drive to develop an all-new transportation solution,” said Tony Posawatz, vehicle line director for the Chevrolet Volt. “Innovation has been at the heart of the Volt from its onset; from the development of the Li-ion battery to the drive unit and the driver connectivity.”

2012 Chevy Corvette Changes Zeigler Chevrolet Scahumburg

2012 Corvette: America’s Best Gets Better

by Chevrolet in the News on May 24, 2011

After pushing Corvette performance to new levels with the incredible ZR1, and then commemorating Chevy’s 100th anniversary with the debut of the Chevrolet Centennial Edition, the brand has re-set the bar once more by unleashing significant upgrades for the 2012 model year.
“We constantly strive to make the Corvette a better car on the road and the track,” says Tadge Juechter, Corvette vehicle line director and chief engineer. “For 2012, the Corvette lineup achieves its highest performance level ever, while at the same time being easier to drive and enjoy thanks to several changes and new features inside the car.”
It all starts in the Corvette’s cabin, where the entire 2012 lineup gets a thorough interior refresh that includes a new seat design with larger, more supportive bolsters and available Microfiber suede inserts; a revised steering wheel that showcases streamlined switch trim and wrapped spokes, along with different badging for each different Corvette model; a padded center console and armrests; and a new uplevel audio system from Bose. The fresh setup boasts nine speakers (two more than the previous system), and includes new tweeters and improved bass performance. In addition, customers can now choose from four brake-caliper colors—red, yellow, silver or gray—to further fine-tune their ‘Vette’s appearance.
But the big news comes at the top of the Corvette lineup, where the big boys play. The two best-performing Corvettes—the lightweight Z06, boasting a 505-hp V8, and the ZR1, living up to its title as the ultimate Corvette with a supercharged 638 horses under the hood—get some fine-tuning of their own. Among their available performance-oriented enhancements: New Michelin Cup ZP competition-style tires, developed by the same Michelin engineers who are behind the rubber for Corvette Racing’s American Le Mans Series efforts. The 285/30-19 (front) and 335/25-20 (rear) tires are then wrapped around all-new aluminum wheels, available with either satin-black or machined finishes. And not only are they five pounds lighter than the outgoing wheels, but they’re stronger, too.
The 2012 model year also will see the introduction of Corvette’s exclusive Performance Traction Management (PTM) technology to the Z06. PTM helps manage torque delivery for optimum performance and, when combined with the new wheel/tire combination, helped cut three seconds from the Corvette’s lap times during testing at the Virginia International Raceway.
Other new optional goodies include a full-width racing-style spoiler for both the Z06 and ZR1, as well as the addition of Magnetic Selective Ride Control—the world’s fastest-reacting suspension technology—for the Z06.
Production of the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette lineup is expected to begin in July.

Chevy Volt Uses Recycled Material From Gulf Oil Spill. Video Zeigler Chevrolet

Chevy Volt Uses Recycled Material From Gulf Oil Spill

by Chevrolet in the News on December 22, 2010

General Motors has devised a way to “creatively recycle” oil-soaked plastic boom material from the BP oil spill. The material, salvaged from the Gulf of Mexico, has been re-purposed for auto parts used in the Chevrolet Volt.
“Creative recycling is one extension of GM’s overall strategy to reduce its environmental impact,” said Mike Robinson, GM vice president of Environment, Energy and Safety policy. “We reuse and recycle material by-products at our 76 landfill-free facilities every day. This is a good example of using this expertise and applying it to a greater magnitude.”
If GM didn’t devise a method to convert the 100 miles of material, it would have likely wound up in landfills. Luckily, the material is much better suited going into the all-new Volt. The parts used with this material deflect air around the Volt’s radiator and are comprised of 25 percent boom material and 25 percent recycled tires, and the remaining is a mixture of post-consumer recycled plastics and other polymers.
“This was purely a matter of helping out,” said John Bradburn, manager of GM’s waste-reduction efforts. “If sent to a landfill, these materials would have taken hundreds of years to begin to break down, and we didn’t want to see the spill further impact the environment. We knew we could identify a beneficial reuse of this material given our experience.”
The Chevy Volt was recently awarded Green Car of the Year by Green Car Journal, so it seems appropriate that the extended-range EV is built with recycled and/or renewable materials. For more information on this incredible process, see the video below.

Maximize MPG with the Chevy Cruze from Zeigler Chevrolet Schaumburg!

Advanced Tires Help The Chevy Cruze Maximize MPG

by Chevrolet in the News on May 5, 2011

As gas prices exceed $4 per gallon in many parts of the country, the Chevrolet Cruze Eco is a compact car that’s ready to help drivers save money at the pump. Although it’s equipped with a fuel-efficient powertrain, the Cruze Eco also boasts one innovative feature that helps conserve fuel — its tires.
General Motors worked closely with tire manufactures to produce an industry benchmark tire that boosts fuel efficiency by three miles per gallon on the Chevy Cruze Eco, the most fuel-efficient model in the Cruze lineup. That may not sound like much, but that translates into about 38 extra miles on a tank of fuel and a savings of about $112 per year for the average driver.
“This tire is way beyond anything in its category,” said GM engineer Chuck Lantz. The Cruze Eco tires make use of special polymers built into the tread compound to reduce rolling resistance, which means less energy is required to keep the tire moving.
So the question is, what makes this tire so unique? According to Lantz, the Cruze Eco’s tires are made of an advanced high-tech polymer that reduces rolling resistance without sacrificing traction.
“Thanks to the high-tech polymers we used, we were able to create a high-MPG set of tires without making tradeoffs in other important areas like tire-braking traction and all-weather handling,” said Lantz. “As far as the ride goes, these tires are as smooth as any tire on the road today.”
The fuel-sipping Chevy Cruze Eco achieves 42 miles per gallon on the highway. With a starting suggested price of $19,175, Cruze Eco offers hybrid-like fuel economy without the premium price tag.

Chevy Volt Helps Feathered Friends Feel Right At Home

by Chevrolet in the News on May 2, 2011

The advanced lithium-ion batteries in the Chevrolet Volt are a key enabler of the car’s environmentally friendly mission, and not just because they can help the drivers achieve an emissions-free, all-electric driving range of up to 50 miles. Showcasing GM’s long-time dedication to recycling, 10 environmental and facilities engineers from General Motors, along with a group of local kids from Detroit’s Lasky Recreation Center, recently teamed up to hatch a new way to get the most from the Volt’s batteries: Converting scrap battery covers—which would have otherwise ended up getting tossed out with the trash—into nesting boxes for the wood ducks, screech owls and other bird life living at GM facilities across the country.
“This is a great example of finding an alternative use for something we receive in our assembly plant every day,” said John Bradburn, manager of waste-reduction efforts for GM. “Our employees think about waste differently than most … they view it as a challenge to keep items in their use phase.”
And this isn’t the first time the Volt has extended its ecologically sound approach to the auto industry beyond the road. Earlier this year, GM announced it had developed a way to take the plastic boom material being used to soak up oil from the Gulf of Mexico and then recycle it into parts found under the Volt’s hood. This effort is expected to keep more than 100,000 pounds of plastic waste out of landfills this year alone.
“This was purely a matter of helping out,” added John Bradburn. “If sent to a landfill, these materials would have taken hundreds of years to begin to break down, and we didn’t want to see the spill further impact the environment. We knew we could identify a beneficial reuse of this material given our experience.”

CHEVY VOLT..REAL TALK FROM CONSUMERS.ZEIGLER CHEVROLET SCHAUMBURG

Chevy Volt: Real-World Efficiency From Real-world Drivers

by CHEVROLET IN THE NEWS on APRIL 29, 2011

Chevrolet has been bragging about the amazing fuel efficiency of the all-newChevy Volt ever since it was approved for production, but now that the car is actually on sale, the company is letting Volt owners do the job. In fact, Chevy recently showcased the stories from a trio of early Volt buyers, all of whom have plenty to boast about.

Take Matt Stehouwer of Lansing, Mich. Stehouwer was so eager to buy one of Chevy’s innovative extended-range electric vehicles that he went to New York to take delivery of his Volt. Since then, he has covered approximately 1,500 miles in the Volt, including both his drive back to Michigan and a daily 32-mile round-trip commute to work, and is averaging 62 mnpg.

Retiree Mike McCarver upped that ante by reporting a 93 mpg average in 800 miles of Volt driving so far. The resident of Los Altos, Calif., relies on his Volt for around-the-town driving and an occasional trip to his vacation home, located 80 miles away. Said McCarver: “I really believe that over the long-term we have to have technology that is going to get us off fossil fuels and the Volt does that—I have the option of never buying gas again.”

Then there’s Mike DiPisa, of Lyndhurst, N.J. With a daily round-trip commute of 26 miles, DiPisa says, “I haven’t filled up my Volt since I took delivery.” The bottom line here: Of the first 1,485 miles that DiPisa drove in his extended-range electric vehicle, grid electricity provided the power to cover 1,391 of them. That works out to an average of 231 mpg—a performance Chevrolet says “is on the high end of real-life experiences of early Volt owners, but it isn’t that unusual.”

All told, according to the company, “By recharging their Volt regularly, owners are easily surpassing the 93 miles per gallon equivalence, or MPGe, on full electric operation and an overall 60 MPGe composite fuel economy during extended-range operation.

“The EPA ratings make the Volt the most energy-efficient compact car on the market today.”

Chevy Camaro Overtakes The Ford Mustang Zeigler Chevrolet!!!

Chevy Camaro Overtakes The Ford Mustang

by Chevrolet in the News on December 29, 2010

The long reign of the Ford Mustang has finally ended. For the first time since 1985, the Chevrolet Camaro has overtaken the Mustang’s sales leadership.
Just one year General Motors emerged from a bankruptcy restructuring, the new Camaro has overtaken the Mustang, arguably the hottest generation yet. Through November, Ford sold 68,264 Mustangs. Chevy had sold 75,685 Camaros.
Making this feat even more impressive, the Camaro has outsold the Mustang without a convertible model or a high-performance Shelby GT500 competitor. However, the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible will go on sale in February and a Z28 model is due at the end of 2011.

Safe Kids USA Launches Heat-Stroke Prevention Zeigler Chevrolet

Safe Kids USA Launches Heat-Stroke Prevention Campaign

by Chevrolet in the News on April 25, 2011

In 2010, a record 49 children between two months and six years of age died from heatstroke after being left unattended in a vehicle. This year, the first such tragedy occurred in the very first week of March, in Texas, when a parent accidentally left her child in a car during a long day at work.
It’s a trend that demands expanded prevention efforts, and Safe Kids USA is stepping up to the plate with an awareness campaign called the “Never Leave Your Child Alone in a Car” program, which is being sponsored by long-time Safe Kids partner the General Motors Foundation.
Leveraging its national network of 600 coalitions and chapters, Safe Kids USA is working with local police and fire departments, hospitals, child-care centers, government agencies, businesses and other groups to ensure parents and other caregivers understand the lethal danger of leaving children alone in vehicles. Among the resources being used are billboards, print ads, web banners and radio announcements, in English and Spanish.
“These tragedies can happen anywhere at any time as child deaths in cars and trucks from heat stroke have occurred as early as February and when the outside temperature was as low as 57 degrees F,” said John Formisano, president and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide. “Our coalition network across the United States will help alert the 250 million vehicle owners to the dangers because everyone needs to understand this critical issue and how to ensure the safety of children.”
Key information all drivers need to know includes:

• Always locks all vehicles—A simple step like locking your vehicle when it’s unattended can help assure that kids can’t enter it and become trapped. Remember: 30 percent of recorded heat-stroke deaths in this country occur when a child gets into an unattended vehicle.
• Create a reminder system—It may seem surprising, but many child heat-stroke deaths happen when a distracted driver leaves the car and forgets his/her child. Help reduce the chance of this occurring by creating reminders for yourself, like placing your cell phone, briefcase, gymbag—something you’ll need at your next stop—on the floor in front of your child. That way, you’ll see your child the next time you get out of the car.
• You can also set an alarm on your phone, or a daily prompt on your electronic calendar. Another good tactic if you use daycare is to set up a plan in which you’re called if your child doesn’t arrive after at a certain time—just don’t forget to update your daycare partner if you change your daily routine.
• Call 911 immediately if you see an unattended child in a car—EMS professionals will be able to determine if a child is in trouble, which can happen fast. Children’s body temperatures rise three to five times faster than an adult’s, leaving them much more vulnerable to heat stroke. And if a child is missing, check nearby vehicles—including their trunks—first!

Safe Kids USA is part of Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations whose mission is to prevent unintentional childhood injury, the leading cause of death and disability to children ages 1 to 14.

Chevy Cruze and Fuel Efficiency Zeigler Chevrolet Schaumburg

Chevy’s I4 Engines Are Good4 Fuel Efficiency

by Chevrolet in the News on April 19, 2011

The numbers don’t lie: In 2007, Chevrolet models with inline four-cylinder (I4) engines represented just 23 percent of the company’s sales. Through the start of 2011, that number had doubled, with 46 percent of Chevy buyers choosing a model with a high-efficiency I4 powerplant. And this trend is sure to continue if fuel prices continue to rise—but Chevrolet is well prepared for that eventuality said Rick Scheidt, the brand’s U.S. vice president.
According to Scheidt, “Chevrolet’s investment in advanced engine technology is reflected in the increased popularity of our four-cylinder models. These technologies offer the performance and refinement drivers expect from Chevy in smaller engines that deliver the fuel efficiency they want.”
Chevrolet advances are many, but three in particular stand out:

• Turbocharging—The all-new Chevrolet Cruze Eco leverages a turbocharged 1.4-liter I4 engine to deliver nearly the same power as the 2009 Chevy Cobalt, but with a smaller powerplant that gets 5 more highway mpg. The bottom line for the Cruze Eco: Best-in-class EPA ratings of 28 mpg city/42 mpg highway/33 mpg combined. In addition, the same engine will be available in the brand-new Chevrolet Sonic, slated to launch in the U.S. in the fall.

• Variable valve timing—Precisely adjusting the operation of engine valves to respond to driver demands, variable valve timing is used in four-cylinder Chevrolet engines like the 2.4-liter Ecotec mill that powers the Chey Malibu. The result is responsive power—170 hp and 160 lb.-ft. of torque—to go with an EPA line of up to 22 mpg city/33 mpg highway/26 mpg combined. This technology also is found on a dozen Chevrolet models, including the Camaro, Volt, Cruze and Silverado.

• Direct injection—The direct-injection systems used in vehicles like the Chevrolet Equinox spray fuel directly into the cylinder, delivering it more precisely than a traditional fuel-injection system. This boosts performance, reduces emissions and improves fuel efficiency. In fact, the I4 engine in the Equinox makes a notable 182 hp and 172 lb.-ft. of torque, yet still achieves a better EPA highway rating than the Ford Escape Hybrid. The Equinox attains marks of 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway/26 mpg combined.

“The shift in consumer preference evidenced by Chevrolet’s lineup is a great example of how much four-cylinder engines have improved across the industry,” said Bill Visnic, analyst and senior editor for Edmunds AutoObserver.com. “Four cylinders used to be something to settle for. But advances in engine design and technology have made four-cylinder engines vastly more refined, and power output has increased to where V6 engines were just a few years ago.”

Facebook and Onstar merge Together. Zeigler Chevrolet..

GM Is Shoving Facebook and Voice Texting Into Your OnStar-Equipped Car

GM's OnStar system has just taken a leap into connectivity, adding audio Facebook updates, voice texting, and apps that control your car from your phone. Suddenly, your most expensive gadget might be your car.

There are a few components to GM's announcement today, including next-generation hardware and an overhauled IT infastructure. But what really stand out are the inclusion of Audio Facebook and text-to-toice, along with a brand of phone apps that will be able to start your car and work your horn, lights and door locks remotely.
Here's how the former works: If you've got an incoming SMS and your phone is connected to OnStar via Bluetooth, the car will read that text back to you. Simple enough! You can also send a voice-activated response, but you'll only be able to choose from one of several pre-programmed responses. For example, say "I'm driving" and your car will send back a text about how you're busy driving at the moment. You can't dictate a text back yet, and it's possible you may never be able to because of safety concerns. Likewise, Audio Facebook can read back your news feed to you and will let you update your status with an audio recording. Texting is in beta, Audio Facebook in early tests.
The family of phone apps, known as MyLink, will hit Android first, with iPhone not far behind. It'll hit Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC, and has already been shown off in the Chevy Volt.

One of the more surprising aspects of today's announcements is that GM is opening up their OnStar voice API to developers. The idea of open-source apps for a car might be a little intimidating—especially given worries about a system like OnStar's potential vulnerabilities—but nothing would ever reach your vehicle without being strictly vetted by GM.

It does speak to the larger question, though: is your car a gadget? And should it be? As more and more "infotainment" populates our cabins, it causes more and more distraction. Which in turn causes more accidents. It's clearly a line that GM is extremely cautious about, ensuring OnStar avoids features—like text dictation—that are potentially dangerously distracting. Let's hope they stay that way.

OnStar Relaunches Its Brand with Focus on
"Responsible Connectivity"
• New telematics computing platform includes social media/voice-texting capability and potential for open development
• New OnStar MyLink sub-brand for smart phone applications for Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC
• Ninth-generation hardware improves navigation and user features
• New services extend OnStar's safety leadership
• All new marketing campaign and business strategy
(New York) Sept. 15, 2010 - OnStar launched new services, capabilities and technology for its nearly six million subscribers as part of a top-to-bottom realignment of the company's long-term strategy built around ‘responsible connectivity'.
OnStar plans to pilot major innovations that significantly increase drivers' in-car connection to the world, while extending its safety leadership in the automotive industry.
"These initiatives are all about OnStar's role in keeping drivers and passengers connected and safe," said OnStar President Chris Preuss. "Building on the rock-solid foundation of OnStar's safety and security platform, we were given a clear directive to develop OnStar as one of the chief pillars in defining General Motors' business going forward."
"With the extremely high awareness and respect for the OnStar brand, we've created a long-term vision that includes new in-vehicle hardware, an all-new IT infrastructure and a host of new partnerships and services that provide the basis for growth," Preuss continued.
Simultaneous events were held in New York, Austin, San Francisco and Miami to relaunch the OnStar brand.
New Technology Testing
OnStar subscribers and technology insiders got a first look at OnStar's new technologies that are enabled through the ninth generation hardware:

Chevy Volt 1613 MPG????? ZEIGLER CHEVROLET SCHAUMBURG

Special Chevy Volt Fuel Tank Puts New Spin On Saving Gas

by Chevrolet in the News on April 11, 2011

It’s ironic: Even though the all-new Chevrolet Volt can routinely go weeks—and longer—without a visit to the gas station, the company’s engineers had to put significant effort into designing the car’s fuel tank. The issue: Because the Volt uses so little gasoline, steps had to be taken to ensure the fuel won’t evaporate during the long periods it’s not needed to power the vehicle.
This isn’t a concern in traditional vehicles, both because they are constantly running their engines and because they feature charcoal canister systems that trap fuel vapor and route it back to the engine. But that latter approach won’t work with the Volt, as it can go so long between engine start-ups that the vapor could reach dangerous levels. The solution: A specially designed, sealed fuel tank for the Volt, developed in conjunction with Spectra Premium Inc.
Instead of the plastic tanks found in other vehicles, the Volt’s fuel tank is made from tin-zinc-coated steel that resists corrosion from both inside and outside, backed by a mechanical pressure-relief valve that can act as a fail-safe in the unlikely occasion it’s needed.
Of course, even then it’s still important for the Volt’s operation that the gasoline is used up occasionally and replenished. Thus, the Volt also features a “maintenance mode” that comes into play if its engine hasn’t been started in six weeks. First, the system will alert the driver that the engine needs to run for maintenance purposes, including to make sure its components are properly lubricated. Then, the driver can either enable the engine to run or defer maintenance for up to 24 hours, after which the engine will turn on itself. In addition, if a driver goes a full year without filling up, the system will come on until the engine uses all the old gas or the driver adds fresh fuel.
The bottom line, according to Jon Stec, fuel system integration engineer for the Volt: “For the driver who starts the year with a full tank of 9.3 gallons and runs 15,000 miles on electricity, the maintenance mode will use just enough gas to average a very respectable 1,613 miles per gallon.”

Boosting Fuel Efficiency With Chevrolet Certified Service

by Chevrolet in the News on April 7, 2011

It’s true that Chevrolet already boasts a strong lineup of fuel-efficient products like the all-new Cruze, capable of a segment-leading 42 mpg highway, and the innovative Volt, which can deliver up to 50 miles of all-electric, no-emissions driving, followed by hundreds of more miles at an EPA-certified rate of 37 mpg combined. But the brand’s commitment to helping customers save fuel—and money—doesn’t end there. That’s why the team at Chevrolet Certified Service has just released its top 12 ways to help cut fuel costs:

• Get a tune up: In normal cases, properly tuning an engine can increase fuel efficiency by about 4 percent accord to the EPA, while repairing a more serious engine problem, like a faulty oxygen sensor, can result in a fuel-economy increase of up to 40 percent.
• Visit the other pump: Following recommended guidelines for tire pressure can mean up to 3.3 percent better gas mileage, as well as improved tire safety and durability. And remember, even with a tire pressure monitoring system, Chevy advises drivers to check their tires with a good air-pressure gauge at least once a month.
• Less weight = more mileage: Get rid of any unnecessary weight you may be carrying in your vehicle, and this includes removing ski and bike racks when the season is over. Not only do the racks add weight, but even empty ones can harm a vehicle’s aerodynamics, which noticeably reduces fuel efficiency.
• Go slow: Although individual vehicles differ, gas mileage usually starts falling rapidly above 60 mph; every 5 mph over that mark is equivalent to adding an additional 24 cents per gallon to your gas bill.
• Don’t idle: It’s simple—when the engine is on but the car isn’t moving, your fuel-efficiency works out to exactly 0 mpg. Spending 15 minutes in a drive-through line can use up a quarter gallon of gas.
• Remain cool: Sudden changes in acceleration and braking can reduce fuel efficiency by 33 percent on the highway and 5 percent in the city.
• Maximum overdrive: Relying on an overdrive gear at highway speeds cuts engine speed and boosts mileage.
• Enjoy the fresh air: Air conditioning can slice 10 percent off your fuel efficiency numbers, but keep an eye on the speedometer. If you’re going slower than 40 mph, keep the windows down instead of the air conditioning on; but if you’re going above 45 mhttp://www.z-chevy.com/ph, keep in mind that wind drag eats up more fuel than running the a/c at that speed.
• Fix your filters: A dirty or clogged air filter can reduce fuel efficiency by some 14 percent on older vehicles without fuel injection and other computer-controlled technologies.
• Get the right oil: Using a manufacturer’s recommended engine oil helps reduce friction so the engine doesn’t have to work as hard—and boosts mileage in the process.
• Make a plan: Proactively pick driving routes and times where and when there’s less congestion.
• Keep a lid on it: Tighten your gas cap properly! According to a report by the Discovery Channel, loose or poorly fitting gas caps send 147 million gallons of gas into the air as vapor every single year.

Innovative Tech Helps The Chevy Volt Save Fuel

by Chevrolet in the News on March 29, 2011

Fuel economy is one of the most important considerations among consumers shopping for a compact car. That’s why Chevrolet not only outfitted the Cruze with a fuel-efficient engine, but also included technology that helps make the engine run more efficiently.
The Chevy Cruze features a unique technology called Regulated Voltage Control or RVC. With this system, the power that runs from the alternator to the battery is reduced from 14 volts to 12.8 volts under normal driving conditions. The reduced load on the battery and alternator in turn reduces the alternator’s pull on the engine, which helps improve fuel economy.
“We estimate RVC improves fuel economy on the Cruze by up to 1.5 percent,” said Doug Dickson, an electrical engineering specialist with the GM Global Energy Center. “To a Cruze customer, RVC enables them to get more than eight additional miles of range on every tank of fuel.”
The RVC also ensures that power is optimally shared for vehicle electronics, such as the radio. This further reduces electric demands and helps the Cruze run more efficiently.
“Engineers left no stone unturned when it came to implementing fuel saving technologies on the Cruze,” Dickson said.  “Fuel economy is becoming a greater factor in purchasing decisions.”

231 MPG with a Chevy Volt Zeigler Chevrolet Schaumburg

Chevy Volt Owners Share Their Stories

by Chevrolet in the News on March 24, 2011

While the EPA rates the Chevrolet Volt’s fuel economy at the equivalent of 93 miles per gallon, many owners are easily surpassing those estimates.
One Volt owner, Mike DiPisa, has a daily commute of 26 miles. That’s well within the Volt’s 40-mile electric range. As a result, he’s averaging a staggering 231 miles per gallon.
“I haven’t filled up my Volt since I took delivery,” the Lyndhhurst, N.J. resident said.  Of the 1,485 miles DiPisa put on his Volt, 1,391 have used using grid electricity.
Other new Volt drivers are finding that extreme high-mileage is easily attainable. By recharging their Volt regularly, the vehicle won’t need to engage extended-range operation on shorter commutes.
“I really believe that over the long-term we have to have technology that is going to get us off fossil fuels and the Volt does that – I have the option of never buying gas again,” said Mike McCarver, a retiree from Los Altos, Calif., who’s averaging 93 mpg in his Volt.
Said Volt marketing director Cristi Landy: “The Volt is great for any lifestyle and can handle the driving demands of daily life.  The majority of Volt customers are finding that by recharging their cars daily they are seeing exceptional real-world fuel economy. ”

New Colorado Concept Zeigler Chevy Schaumburg

GM Unveils Chevrolet Colorado Concept Ahead Of Debut

by Chevrolet in the News on March 21, 2011

Just a week ago, GM teased the next-generation Chevrolet Colorado ahead of its debut at the Bangkok International Motor Show. Eager to show off the new truck, it has been officially unveiling ahead of its debut.
Although this vehicle is technically a concept vehicle, it will go on sale in Thailand later this year with a 2.8-liter turbo-diesel engine under the hood. GM promises that the mid-size truck will boast competitive towing capacity, power, and fuel-efficiency.
“Although this is a show vehicle, the basic proportions and form convey the vision for the next-generation Colorado that we will bring to market,” said Brad Merkel, GM’s global vehicle line executive. “It reflects a stylized version of the new truck, one that takes into account rugged dependable truck capabilities for commercial use as well as sophisticated refinement for personal-use needs.”
This is a show truck, so it also boasts a number of bold exterior features that probably won’t make it onto a production vehicle, including:

• A streamlined “cab collar” design with a body-color hard tonneau cover on the bed
• Gray accents on the side, front and rear lower moldings
• 20-inch aluminum wheels featuring a “liquid metal” finish, with Stone Gray color wheel ports
• Cooper 285/50R20 ZEON LTZ tires
• Outside mirrors with LED turn-signal indicators.

The real question is whether we’ll see the new Colorado here in the U.S. At this point, there’s no official word on its North American launch, so stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to check out photos of the new truck below.

Chevy Puts Four Among “Best For The Money” Winners

by Chevrolet in the News on March 10, 2011

In today’s highly competitive U.S. auto market, says the editors at U.S. News & World Report,  “Shoppers want value, which means giving buyers more bang for their buck” in vehicles that “add value to their owner’s lives” throughout the entire ownership experience. That’s clearly an excellent description of the Chevrolet lineup, as proven by the fact that Chevy recently had four vehicles named to the publication’s Best Car for the Money Awards 2011—more than any other brand.
The Chevrolet Malibu was the top-rated entry in the Midsize Car class, noted for its well-balanced ride, bold style, and roomy and supportive front seats. The bottom line here: The Malibu “is an excellent family car” that “stands out for its two-tone interior design.”
The Best Midsize Crossover for the Money was the Chevrolet Traverse. The popular people-mover earned kudos for its on-road manners, impressive cargo space, relatively strong fuel-efficiency performance and roomy third-row seating—which is spacious enough even for adults.
Still boasting a rugged body-on-frame chassis, the Chevrolet Tahoe took home honors among Full Size SUVs, with “good ride and handling for its size,” a “comfortable and inviting interior,” and “one of the best fuel economy ratings for a large SUV.”
Finally, in a performance that may surprise some, the Chevrolet Silverado got the call as Best Full Size Truck for the Money. The “rugged and capable” Chevy showcased “comfortable ride and handling,” as well as a wide range of available powertrain choices, trim levels, suspension alternatives and bed lengths.

GM Prepares For Many More Chevy Volt Sales By May

by Chevrolet in the News on March 8, 2011

General Motors expects sales of the Chevrolet Volt to rise significantly in the month of May. The automaker also plans for at least 10,000 deliveries in 2011.
Already the Volt has been outselling the all-new Nissan Leaf electric vehicle, but sales of both models have been relatively low. However, demand is high and the automaker will reportedly ramp up production soon.
According to GM spokesperson Rob Peterson:

The Volt production launch is on schedule to build and sell every one of our 10,000 units this year. Through February, we produced over 1,800 vehicles – 925 of which have been sold at retail. Production volume will gradually increase each month throughout the year. However, over the next few months we will be shipping Volt dealer demo vehicles and vehicles to our coastal launch markets which takes longer than delivering them to nearby states. This situation should be resolved by May, after which the number of Volt’s sold will rise.
There is no demand issue; ask any dealer in a launch market. This is a temporary situation. The Volt launch is on time and on target.

Although GM denies any supply and demand issues, the question still remains whether the Volt production rumors are true. If so, GM might shoot to build more than double the amount of Volts it currently has planned.

The Ultimate Camaro: 2012 Carmaro ZL1 Debuts

by Chevrolet in the News on February 10, 2011

This week, the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 debuted at the Chicago Auto Show. Launching in early 2012, the new ZL1 features cutting-edge performance systems that makes it the most technologically advanced Camaro ever built.
Motivating this new model is a supercharged V-8 engine producing 550 horsepower. But aside from overwhelming power, Chevrolet insists that there’s plenty of innovative technology that will help the ZL1 really perform. This tech includes advanced and highly refined chassis and suspension systems that will help the ZL1 deliver balanced, track-ready handling and braking power.
“Camaro ZL1 is about high-tech performance and design, and is a type of car no one has ever brought to this segment previously,” said Rick Scheidt, vice president of Chevrolet marketing. “It’s the most technically advanced Camaro ever, so we’ve chosen a name from the most elite and exclusive Camaro in history.”
Although this high-performance Camaro doesn’t carry the iconic Z28 badging, the ZL1 name is derived from a 1960s era all-aluminum racing engine of the same name. A few production 1969 Camaros also carried the ZL1 designation, and went on to achieve mythical status among enthusiasts.
When developing the ZL1, engineers were tasked with creating a vehicle that provided optimal performance for road-racing circuits, while also delivering excellent driving dynamics on the street. In achieving this goal, the Camaro’s existing systems were improved upon, including its electric power steering and Magnetic Ride Control, the world’s fastest-reacting suspension system.
“Everything about the ZL1’s design is directly related to its technology and serious performance, especially aerodynamics,” said Ed Welburn, vice president, Global Design. “Our designers’ goal was to execute that function-oriented design with beautifully sculpted forms, creating an imposing, powerful persona. Function becomes the aesthetic. The intent is a car that delivers on the attitude it projects.”
Inside, the 2012 Camaro ZL1 will come standard with plenty of creature comforts as well including:

• Six-way power driver and passenger seats
• Unique instrument panel and door panel inserts; and ZL1-logo sill plates
• Steering wheel audio controls with Bluetooth capability
• Wireless PDIM and USB-port
• Boston Acoustics premium audio system
• Rear parking assist
• Rear camera system (displayed in the inside rearview mirror).

Chevrolet is still developing and refining this model, but it’s currently slated to arrive in showrooms at the beginning of next year. Stay tuned for additional details.
