DETROIT, MI-<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.gm.com/" style="color: #305cb6; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">General Motors Co.</a> will add the Z71 package to its <a href="http://www.aachevy.com/VehicleSearchResults?search=new&bodyType=SUV">2015 Chevrolet Tahoe</a> and <a href="http://www.aachevy.com/VehicleSearchResults?search=new&bodyType=SUV">Suburban</a>.</div>

The<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Detroit-based automaker this week announced the off-road package for the all-new sport utility vehicles, which went on sale earlier this year. GM also released a teaser of the Z71 badge on one of the vehicles<em>.</em></div>

GM said additional features and production timing will be announced in late-September.</div>

The first official special Z71 package appeared on <a href="http://www.aachevy.com/VehicleSearchResults?search=new&bodyType=TRUCK">Chevy's full-size pickup trucks</a> in 1988, and in 2001, the brand added the Z71 package to <a href="http://www.aachevy.com/VehicleSearchResults?search=new&bodyType=SUV">Tahoe</a> and <a href="http://www.aachevy.com/VehicleSearchResults?search=new&bodyType=SUV">Suburban</a>.</div>

The full-size SUV segment, although smaller than its peak in the late-1990s and early-2000s, is critical for GM. Since 1975, the automaker has consistently represented more than 40 percent of the full-size SUV market, including an 80 percent stake in 1995. </div>

amazing car. The quality of the construction at all levels – engine, body
panels, chassis – is amazing. Even more amazing for me is that I have filmed
the Bugatti Veyron and the Pagani Huayra – two incredible cars with engines
that torque out more than 1000 hp. But the Corvette, for the quality of the
build, the aluminum chassis, power to weight ratio, its 430 to 460 hp engine
and starting price, is the dream car I can afford.</span></div>

The all-new, GM-developed Hydra-Matic 8L90 paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission offered in the 2015 Corvette Stingray and Z06 enhances performance and efficiency, while delivering exceptional refinement and world-class shift responsiveness that rivals the world’s best dual-clutch transmissions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
In fact, in the 2015 Corvette Stingray, it enables a class-leading 29-mpg EPA highway estimate – a 3.5-percent increase in fuel economy over the previous six-speed automatic – and a quicker 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds, all while delivering wide-open-throttle upshifts quicker than those of the dual-clutch transmission offered in the Porsche 911.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
“GM’s new 8L90 eight-speed automatic represents a rare win-win-win scenario for customers,” said Kavoos Kaveh, global chief engineer for eight-speed automatic transmissions. “It offers greater performance and efficiency, while weighing less than the transmission it replaces. That’s a rare accomplishment in the industry today – and one for which GM has been awarded more than two dozen patents.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
With four simple gearsets for optimal efficiency and five clutches (two brake clutches and three rotating clutches), creative packaging enables the new eight-speed automatic to fit the same space as the previous six-speed automatic – and the powerflow only uses two open clutches for low spin losses, which enhances efficiency. Extensive use of aluminum and magnesium also make it more than eight pounds (4 kg) lighter than the six-speed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The greater overall performance and efficiency enabled by the 8L90 in the Corvette is due primarily to a new, wider 7.0 overall gear ratio spread, which enhances off-the-line performance with a more aggressive first gear ratio – 4.56 vs. 4.03 on the six-speed – helping achieve the quicker 0-60 time.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The top gear ratio is 0.65 vs. the six-speed’s 0.67. Combined with a new, numerically lower 2.41 rear axle ratio in the Stingray vs. the 2.56 gear used with previous six-speed automatic models, engine rpm is reduced by 8 percent (123 rpm) on the highway at 70 mph. The lower engine speed reduces fuel consumption, while a new torque converter design enhances refinement, particularly during low-speed gear changes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Stingray models equipped with the Z51 Performance Package feature a more aggressive 2.73 axle ratio, while the Corvette Z06 features the 2.41 axle ratio.</div>

<b>World-class performance</b><br />Designed and built by GM, the paddle-shift 8L90 transmission delivers world-class shift times that rival the best dual-clutch designs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
“The Corvette’s new eight-speed automatic delivers the comfort and drivability of a true automatic transmission, as well as lightning-fast shifts and the manual control that enhance the performance-driving experience,” said Kaveh. “It was designed to enhance the driving experience, with performance on par with dual-clutch designs, but without sacrificing refinement.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
For performance driving, the transmission offers full manual control via steering wheel paddles. A new transmission-controls system and unique algorithms deliver shift performance that rivals the dual-clutch/semi-automatic transmissions found in many supercars – but with the smoothness and refinement that comes with a conventional automatic fitted with a torque converter.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
In fact, a new, Gen II transmission controller analyzes and executes commands 160 times per second, and wide-open throttle upshifts are executed up to eight-hundredths of a second quicker than those of the dual-clutch transmission offered in the Porsche 911.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Smaller steps between gears, compared to the previous six-speed automatic (see chart above), keep the engine within the sweet spot of the rpm band, making the most of its horsepower and torque to optimize performance and efficiency. Additionally, a torque converter design with a turbine damper complements performance with excellent refinement at low engine speeds.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Unique clutch and torque converter specifications matched to the torque capacity of the Stingray’s LT1 6.2L naturally aspirated engine and the Z06’s LT4 supercharged engine distinguish the applications for the different Corvette models.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<b>Architectural and design features</b><br />More than 550 computer-aided engineering analysis were made during the development of the 8L90 to ensure strength, durability, performance and refinement. The architecture features a one-piece case with an integral bell housing for enhanced powertrain stiffness, as well as a detachable extension for the Corvette’s rear transaxle arrangement.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Similar to GM’s six-speed automatic design, the eight-speed’s architecture locates the grounding clutches rearward of the middle of the structure, outside the gearsets. However, the grounding clutches are splined to the case, eliminating the center support, which reduces weight.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
This architecture also features a turbine shaft node that reaches to the outside of the barrel, enabling easy execution of a high-resolution magnetic speed sensor. The turbine shaft itself is very short, keeping oil channel drill lengths to a minimum. The rotating clutches are located near the front of the transmission, with short oil feed channels, supporting the transmission’s very fast shifts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Additional design and performance features include:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin: 5px 15px 10px 30px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; list-style: square; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px;">Clutch compensators are fed by lubrication oil rather than the dedicated and regulated feed design of the 6L80. There are two benefits of this new design feature: The reduction of one oil channel between the valve body and the rotating clutches, which reduces the number of rotating oil seals and oil channels within the turbine shaft; and, secondly, the capability for rapid discharge of oil in the compensators during clutch apply, for greater control.</li>
<li style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; list-style: square; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px;">An industry-first off-axis, chain-driven binary vane-type pump – located within the valve body – effectively allows for two pumps in the packaging size of a single, which contributes to lower parasitic losses and optimal priming capability, as well as ideal oil routing to the controls system.</li>

The all-new, GM-developed Hydra-Matic 8L90 eight-speed transmission is matched with the available 6.2L EcoTec3 V-8 engine in the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, supporting the pickup’s capabilities with greater efficiency and refinement.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
It was designed with 11 percent greater torque capacity than GM’s 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission, complementing the output of the 6.2L, which – at 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque – is the most powerful engine offered in a light-duty pickup.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
EPA estimated fuel economy will be announced closer to the start of production in the fourth quarter of 2014.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
“The new 8L90 eight-speed is designed tougher to handle the greater power of the Silverado’s powertrains, with great improvements in spin loss to complement that capability with greater efficiency,” said Kavoos Kaveh, global chief engineer for eight-speed automatic transmissions. “It is a marvel of packaging efficiency and driving efficiency that has garnered more than two dozen patents for General Motors.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
With four simple gearsets for optimal efficiency and five clutches (two brake clutches and three rotating clutches), creative packaging enables the new eight-speed automatic to fit the same space as the previous six-speed automatic, with a lower weight. A wider 7.0 overall gear ratio spread provides a numerically higher 4.56 first gear ratio, helping drivers start off more confidently with a heavy load or when trailering.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The 2015 Silverado 1500 equipped with the 6.2L engine and eight-speed automatic transmission will have a<a href="http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2014/Jun/0619-chevrolet-gmc-leadin.html" style="color: #1f3c8a; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">maximum available trailer rating</a> of 12,000 pounds, based on SAE J2807 Recommended Practices.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Smaller steps between gears, compared to the 6L80 (see chart below), keep the engine within the sweet spot of the rpm band, making the most of its horsepower and torque to optimize performance and efficiency. They also enable numerically lower rear axle ratios, which reduce engine rpm on the highway for reduced fuel consumption.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Additionally, friction-reducing design features – including all-new synthetic fluid – and lower spin losses via a powerflow that uses only two open clutches contribute further to efficiency. A new torque converter design with turbine damper enhances refinement, particularly during low-speed gear changes, for smoother performance when the truck is loaded or pulling a trailer.</div>

<b>Architectural and design features</b><br />More than 550 computer-aided engineering analysis were made during the development of the 8L90 to ensure strength, durability, performance and refinement. The architecture features a one-piece case with an integral bell housing for enhanced powertrain stiffness.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Similar to GM’s six-speed automatic design, the eight-speed’s architecture locates the grounding clutches rearward of the middle of the structure, outside the gearsets. However, the grounding clutches are splined to the case, eliminating the center support, which reduces weight.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
This architecture also features a turbine shaft node that reaches to the outside of the barrel, enabling easy execution of a high-resolution magnetic speed sensor. The turbine shaft itself is very short, keeping oil channel drill lengths to a minimum. The rotating clutches are located near the front of the transmission, with short oil feed channels, supporting very fast shifts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Additional design and performance features include:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; list-style: none; margin: 5px 15px 10px 30px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; list-style: square; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px;">Clutch compensators are fed by lubrication oil rather than the dedicated and regulated feed design of the 6L80. There are two benefits of this new design feature: The reduction of one oil channel between the valve body and the rotating clutches, which reduces the number of rotating oil seals and oil channels within the turbine shaft; and secondly, the capability for rapid discharge of oil in the compensators during clutch apply, for greater control.</li>
<li style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; list-style: square; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px;">An industry-first off-axis, chain-driven binary vane-type pump – located within the valve body – effectively allows for two pumps in the packaging size of a single, which contributes to lower parasitic losses and optimal priming capability, as well as ideal oil routing to the controls system.</li>
<li style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; list-style: square; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px;">The binary pump enables a 60-percent reduction in pump torque at points that represent large portions of the operating duty cycle, compared to the 6L80 six-speed, which is a significant contributor to the overall efficiency gains offered by the 8L90.</li>
<li style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; list-style: square; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px;">The binary pump is located very low in the sump, for greater cold prime operation – as low as -40 F (-40 C) and excellent high-speed operation with stable line pressure.</li>
<li style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; list-style: square; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px;">Thanks to a new torque converter clutch friction lining and a new control strategy, the 8L90’s squashed torque converter uses conventional dual-path converter feeds.</li>

Chevrolet’s full-size Suburban SUV has ample space and comfort to carry up to nine passengers and their gear on long hauls – and brings cutting-edge technology along for the ride.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Summer is in full swing and with it comes the traditional American road trip. Last year, an estimated 40 million travelers hit the road for the July 4 holiday, according to AAA. While travelers once relied on the alphabet or license plate games to pass the time on long trips, the 2015 Chevrolet Suburban entertains passengers in the most high-tech way.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Additionally, the Suburban’s available maximum trailering package has the capability to tow 8,300 pounds, perfect for hauling a travel trailer, boats, jet skis and other seasonal toys.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
“The 2015 Suburban has every creature comfort the modern family needs for a long haul,” said Sandor Piszar, director of Chevrolet Marketing. “With some of the most state-of-the-art technologies available in the industry, the Suburban is sure to give everyone something to do mile after mile.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The Suburban offers passengers individual entertainment with wireless headphones so they can independently experience the available Blu-ray™ overhead entertainment screens, AM/FM or satellite radio, media devices synced through the available MyLink system’s Bluetooth<sup>® </sup>connection, or media connected to built-in USB ports or SD card slots. A composite plug-in in the center console allows rear-seat passengers to play a game system through the overhead, 9-inch LCD entertainment screens.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
To ensure the entertainment keeps rolling, 12 power outlets – including multiple 110-volt, three-prong outlets – are available to charge game systems, cell phones and tablets.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Gaming and other media are not limited to what passengers bring into the vehicle, either. This fall, the 2015 Chevrolet Suburban will be available with OnStar 4G LTE, providing a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot to seven devices on one data connection for as little as $5 per month. The stronger connection of the built-in 4G LTE antenna provides data service where traditional cellular service might not, perfect for accessing the Internet on that long trip down desolate roads.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The Wi-Fi connection has a range of 30 feet outside the vehicle, so the entertainment can continue even during roadside stops.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
If the entertainment goes low-tech, an acoustic-laminated windshield and inlaid doors with triple seals reduce wind and exterior noise in the cabin, making conversations less of a shouting match.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Long road trips require lots of gear. With a maximum 121.1 cubic feet of cargo space available with the second- and third-row seats folded down, two passengers can pack enough for days on the road. If the traveling party is larger, the Suburban offers ample seating configurations, including a folding second row, and 60/40 split rear row.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The Suburban has class-leading fuel economy of 15 mpg city and 22 mpg highway, with a 31-gallon fuel tank.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Its comprehensive safety systems include available Adaptive Cruise Control to ensure the Suburban doesn’t get too close to a vehicle traveling in front of it. Front Automatic Braking automatically applies the brake if it gets too close to another vehicle while under the driver’s control. Side Blind Zone and Lane Change Alert make sure the driver knows what’s coming down the Suburban’s side, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert warns the driver if a car is crossing behind the vehicle while backing out of a parking space.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The all-new Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe went on sale earlier this year. Sales are up 14 percent year-over-year through May, with many customers opting for the top-of-the-line level LTZ trim package.</div>

Versatility and value are helping make compact crossovers and SUVs among the hottest vehicles in the country. Chevrolet is helping meet the demand with its strongest lineup in history, including the Equinox and – early next year – the new Trax.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
“Compact crossovers and SUVs make sense for so many consumers,” said Steve Majoros, marketing director, Chevrolet. “Suited to adapt to whatever life throws at them, our customers want a vehicle that can do – and go – anywhere, and they want it with expressive design and fuel efficiency.</div>

“It’s a tall order and it’s why Equinox sales have risen nearly every year since we introduced the original in 2006,” he said. “Next year, the Trax will provide this same flexibility in a smaller footprint.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Equinox retail sales in June were up 11 percent from June 2013. Chevrolet has sold nearly 1.5 million Equinoxes since the first generation was introduced in 2005. A second generation was released for the 2010 model year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The popularity of Equinox has helped Chevrolet grow its share of the segment from 7 percent to more than 10 percent in the past eight years.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Overall, demand for compact crossovers and SUVs has nearly doubled since 2008, from 10 percent to 18 percent of the market, according to AutoTrader.com.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
“Sales of crossovers of all sorts have been growing significantly in recent years, but the growth in sales of smaller crossovers and SUVs has been nothing short of phenomenal,” said Michelle Krebs, senior analyst for AutoTrader.com. “It’s easy to see why, with the segment being so versatile to meet the needs of a wide variety of car buyers. They can carry people, serve as a substitute truck or haul bigger cargo while still driving like a car.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
According to AutoTrader.com’s research, crossovers and small SUVs are the only growing segments within the SUV market and, for the first time, outpace two other segments that have experienced consistent growth in the past eight years – compact and midsize sedans.</div>

“I call my Chevy Equinox my ‘multi-tool’ of vehicles,” said Gail Haffey of Beverly Hills, Mich. “It fits my family’s needs perfectly, from traveling to our summer cottage, to flipping down the seats to haul cargo and supplies from the garden shop, to my daily commute to work. Plus, the fuel economy is great, so I get versatility and value in one package.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The Equinox seats five, offers a maximum cargo capacity of 63.7 cubic feet and a maximum towing rating of 3,500 pounds (3.6L V-6 models) and an EPA-rated 32 mpg highway (2.4L FWD models).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Both the Equinox and GMC Terrain with available forward collision alert technology received 2014 Top Safety Pick+ ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the only midsize SUVs of nine evaluated to earn Good ratings in the Institute’s small overlap front crash test.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
For 2015, Chevrolet brings OnStar 4G LTE capabilities to Equinox and Trax. Combined with standard Chevrolet MyLink, these technologies accommodate customers’ increasingly connected lifestyles with a more reliable connection during road trips, connectivity for up to seven devices, and range of up to 50 feet outside the vehicle.</div>

The Chevrolet Trax small SUV – a customer favorite in the global markets where it’s already being sold, arrives in the U.S. early next year. Part of another fast-growing segment, Trax sales have grown from just over 3,000 in 2006 to more than 90,000 last year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">

</div>
<b>DETROIT</b> – In a quest to find the vehicles best suited for
families, Kelley Blue Book editors collaborated with real families to
test an array of vehicles including anything from sedans to minivans.<br />
Two Chevrolets made their way into KBB.com’s 12 Best Family Cars of 2014 recommended list, the <a href="http://media.chevrolet.com/content/media/us/en/chevrolet/vehicles/impala/2014.html">Chevrolet Impala</a> four-door sedan and the <a href="http://media.chevrolet.com/content/media/us/en/chevrolet/vehicles/Traverse/2014.html">Traverse</a> midsize SUV.<br />
“We designed the Chevrolet Impala and Traverse precisely to offer a
wide suite of useful family-friendly features,” said Russ Clark,
Chevrolet director of marketing. “It is good to see that KBB.com and the
customers they surveyed agree.”<br />
Nominees were chosen specifically for excellence in safety, comfort,
driving performance, room for child seats, cargo space, rear-seat
entertainment and other family-friendly features.<br />
The KBB.com expert editors started with 21 vehicles top-ranked in
their Expert Ratings in various family-friendly categories and enlisted
the help of several families to thoroughly test these family haulers.
KBB.com editors then recorded the results and feedback to select the
winners.<br />
“We were surprised at the number of sedans that made the Best Family
Cars list this year,” Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and
executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com. “Once upon a
time before minivans and SUVs, sedans were the primary family car of
choice, and this year’s list proves the modern sedan still makes a fine
family car.”<br />

<ul>
<li>First bi-fuel full-size production sedan offered in North America</li>
<li>Total estimated bi-fuel range of 500 miles</li>
</ul>
</div>
<b>WASHINGTON, D.C. </b>–<b> </b>Chevrolet today announced the 2015
Impala bi-fuel sedan – the only original equipment manufacturer-produced
full-size sedan in North America capable of running on either
cleaner-burning, mostly domestically produced compressed natural gas
(CNG) or gasoline.<br />
Compressed natural gas is less costly at the pump and significantly
reduces carbon dioxide emissions compared to traditional liquid fuels
such as gasoline. A separate CNG fuel tank, mounted in the trunk,
enables the driver to switch between fuels at the push of a button. When
the CNG tank is depleted, the system automatically switches to
gasoline.<br />
“The new bi-fuel Impala marries Chevrolet’s flagship sedan with
unprecedented opportunity, offering a new choice for alternative-fueled
transportation that burns cleaner from a mostly domestically sourced
fuel,” said Dan Akerson, General Motors Chairman and CEO. “GM continues
to demonstrate its commitment and leadership in energy diversity by
building its presence in the gaseous fuel space, and specifically with
CNG – one of the cleanest-burning fossil fuels available.”<br />
Most of the natural gas used in the U.S. comes from domestic or other
North American sources. CNG’s abundance makes it a viable economic
alternative for drivers living in areas with easy access to CNG filling
stations, and it currently costs significantly less than gasoline. A
person who drives 24,000 miles a year can recoup the additional
investment in the bi-fuel option within a few years at current prices.<br />
CNG vehicles typically have 20 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions
than gasoline-powered cars, according to the California Air Resources
Board. <br />
The bi-fuel Impala is expected to go on sale next summer to retail
and fleet customers at Chevrolet dealers in the United States and
Canada. It joins Chevrolet’s growing range of manufacturer-engineered
and validated CNG vehicles, which includes the bi-fuel Silverado HD
full-size pickups and fully dedicated CNG Express full-size cargo and
passenger vans. All of these vehicles are backed by GM new vehicle and
powertrain limited warranties.<br />
“Along with the Chevrolet Volt, the new Cruze Turbo Diesel and
all-electric Spark EV, this is another example of how GM is advancing
its multi-faceted vehicle and global sustainability strategy,” said
Akerson.<br />
While EPA estimates on the vehicle are not yet finalized, an
approximately eight gasoline-gallon-equivalent CNG tank mounted in the
Impala’s trunk is expected to provide up to 150 miles of vehicle range
for a total range of up to 500 miles. <br />
The bi-fuel Impala is fitted at the factory with a port fuel-injected
3.6L engine that includes hardened intake and exhaust valves and valve
seats, to support the long-term durability needed for CNG combustion.
The GM-engineered CNG fuel system is added at a secondary manufacturing
location by a GM supplier. Ordering CNG is the same as selecting any
other option at the time of purchase <br />
Redesigned for 2014, the award-winning Impala is new from the ground
up, with muscular design elements that provide a nod to the past with
modern styling. It is the 10th generation of one of the industry’s most
enduring and popular nameplates. Impala has been America’s best-selling
full-size sedan since 2004 with sales of more than 169,000 in 2012.<br />
The bi-fuel Impala’s 3.6L V-6 engine has the highest horsepower
output in the segment from a naturally aspirated V6 engine, engineered
to give a satisfying feeling of immediate performance. When running on
natural gas, the engine will deliver approximately 85 percent of the
power produced with gasoline. The engine is matched with an advanced
six-speed automatic transmission.<br />
The Impala can seat five occupants and offers 10 cubic feet of cargo
room in the trunk with the CNG fuel tank installed. The bi-fuel model
will be available with 1FL and 1LT trims. Standard vehicle features
include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Ten air bags – including head curtain side air bags and driver and front passenger knee air bags</li>
<li>Air conditioning</li>
<li>Audio system with color infotainment screen</li>
<li>Bluetooth for phone</li>
<li>Color driver information display in the instrument panel</li>
<li>Four-wheel disc brakes </li>
<li>Antilock brakes and StabiliTrak electronic stability control system</li>
<li>Fuel-saving electric power steering.</li>
</ul>
Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment system is available with the LT trim.<br />
The bi-fuel Impala is covered by GM’s three-year, 36,000-mile new
vehicle limited warranty and five-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain
warranty and vehicle emissions warranty, meeting all Environmental
Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board emission
certification requirements.<br />
It will be built at GM’s Oshawa, Ontario, plant.<br />

Not everyone has to worry about driving in cold weather, but if you do, you should know that a good set of winter tires can make a big difference. According to Sean Phillips, author of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a class="external" href="http://tires.about.com/od/buyers_guide/a/All-Seasons-Or-Snow-Tires.htm" style="color: #006899; text-decoration: none;">“All Season or Snow Tires,”</a><img class="external-link-icon" src="http://community.ally.com/straight-talk/wp-content/themes/Ally_4_2/images/external-link-icon.png" style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2px; padding: 0px;" />it’s important to understand that winter and all-season tires are different and have distinct characteristics.

According to<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a class="external" href="http://autos.aol.com/article/the-time-to-buy-snow-tires-was-yesterday/" style="color: #006899; text-decoration: none;">AOL Autos</a><img class="external-link-icon" src="http://community.ally.com/straight-talk/wp-content/themes/Ally_4_2/images/external-link-icon.png" style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2px; padding: 0px;" />, winter tires are constructed differently than all-season tires. The tread pattern on winter tires is designed to help them dig into ice and snow. This gives them better traction in winter weather. But tread patterns aren’t the only difference.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a class="external" href="http://www.bankrate.com/financing/cars/is-your-car-ready-for-winter/" style="color: #006899; text-decoration: none;">Bankrate.com</a><img class="external-link-icon" src="http://community.ally.com/straight-talk/wp-content/themes/Ally_4_2/images/external-link-icon.png" style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2px; padding: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>explains that the rubber compounds in all-season tires harden in colder temperatures. This causes them to lose their grip on the road and become less effective. Winter tires, on the other hand, are made of a softer rubber that grips the road better in colder temperatures. With all these benefits, should you leave winter tires on your car all year?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a class="external" href="http://autos.aol.com/article/winter-tires/" style="color: #006899; text-decoration: none;">AOL Autos</a><img class="external-link-icon" src="http://community.ally.com/straight-talk/wp-content/themes/Ally_4_2/images/external-link-icon.png" style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2px; padding: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>says that while you could leave them on, it’s not a good idea. Winter tires wear faster in warm weather because of the softer rubber<sup>2</sup>. So it’s best to switch back to all-season or summer tires when the weather starts to heat up.</div>

Walking the aisles at the recent Las Vegas Specialty Equipment Market Association Show, an aftermarket showcase of just about every car and truck product known to man, we found a stunning new product that stopped us in our tracks. The idea is simple and will have pickup truck owners wondering why they didn't think of it themselves.</div>

Called WeighSafe, the product uses a small, hydraulically based tongue-weight scale built right into the stock of a trailer hitch. Based on how much down force (or how little, because too little tongue weight is just as dangerous as too much) is being exerted on the ball mount, the scale will show you how much tongue weight (with a relatively small margin of error) is sitting on the back end of your tow vehicle.</div>

The built-in scale was the brainchild of Kevin McAllister from Lehi, Utah, where, as he tells the story, his wife challenged him to invent something that could save lives. At the time the challenge was issued he happened to be studying some federal statistics on trailering accidents and found that more than 10,000 deaths and almost 350,000 injuries could be directly related to improper or unsafe towing.</div>

The product varies in price and can be configured in many different ways. This was McAllister's first time at SEMA, where his new product won the coveted Best New Tools & Equipment Product award. We're hoping we'll see more towing inventions from him in the future.</div>

There is something sensational when an American classic wins the prestigious title of the Car of the Year; the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is no exception. Many expected the sexy, streamlined beast to grab the 2014 title as announced by<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Automobile Magazine</i>. With intense features, a wow driving factor and sweet lines – the Stingray reigns in the chair of champions. Curious to learn more?</div>

The newest model delivers in speed and the ability to save on some gas; which is a mini-miracle on its own. The Stingray has been proven to beat Porsche and Ferrari in certain categories.
