Unveiling of the Albert Champion statue

Chevrolet Invests $5 Billion into New Vehicle Development

DURAND, Mich.– Since its inception, the auto industry has been in perpetual motion to accommodate the influx of new technology and changes in consumer preferences. General Motors brands have always adjusted well to these demands, and the latest example is how Chevrolet will invest $5 billion into new vehicle development for global growth markets. It's a step GM and Chevy will take to stay ahead of the curve, so to speak, and ensure consumers in these markets that Chevy is the brand they can rely on for design, technology and performance.

Chevy will develop an entirely new vehicle family for these markets that will take the place of multiple current vehicles. Chevy anticipates the new vehicle family will sharpen its competitive edge and increase profitability.

Along with Chevrolet investing $5 billion into new vehicle development, GM will deepen its partnership with SAIC Motor and the two will collaborate on the new vehicle family’s core architecture and engine design. The closer relationship will add to GM’s architecture consolidation plan, and save them money in development and total vehicle costs.

By using a team of multinational designers, the new Chevy vehicle family will be extremely comprehensive in its market appeal. In short, the vehicles will be very cosmopolitan with rich influences from a variety of cultures and interests deriving from multiple nationalities.

Chevy plans to manufacture and sell the vehicles in Brazil, China, India and Mexico, and export to several other growth markets. However, you won’t see these vehicles anywhere in the United States, which is already a mature market and has no need for a completely new vehicle family.

But don’t feel left out– consider all of the New Chevy Cars and New Chevy Trucks you have to choose from in each model year! We promise you, the Chevy vehicles available at our Corunna area Chevrolet dealer are the best offerings from the automaker.

Rumored 2016 Chevy Camaro Release Date

DURAND, Mich.– Despite the general excitement surrounding a slew of new 2016 model year vehicle releases from nearly every major automaker, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro has stolen the spotlight from competitors and other vehicle classes alike.

Now, the spotlight is brighter than ever since an unnamed insider from Chevy recently disclosed a rumored 2016 Chevy Camaro release date of August 13, although General Motors hasn’t corroborated the claim or denied it. At the Camaro’s unveiling in Detroit last May, Chevy divulged plans to begin 2016 Camaro production in Lansing, MI, this August, so an earlier-than-expected release date, at least for pre-orders, could be very possible.

Since the inaugural Camaro’s 1966 debut, many have claimed Chevy’s pony car has struggled in the shadow of the Ford Mustang. But to understand how superior the Camaro is to the Mustang and other competitors, you only need to consult the sales numbers that show the Camaro has outsold the Mustang since 2010.

How do you get better sales than your competition? Through better design, better technology and better performance. No wonder so many enthusiasts are awaiting a confirmation of the rumored 2016 Chevy Camaro release date– people want this car!

While you can’t wholly rely on the words of one unnamed insider, it’s true that rumors like these usually point towards a reality. We suggest that you keep your eyes peeled and expect Chevy to come out with an official release date sometime in the near future. We can’t wait to add the next-generation Camaro to our inventory of New Chevy Cars and New Chevy Trucks at our Clio Chevrolet dealer!

New Chevy Crossover Coming in 2017

DURAND, Mich.– If you haven’t heard yet, there’s a new Chevy crossover coming in 2017, and it will replace your beloved Equinox. But don’t worry, the Equinox isn’t disappearing, it’s just being downsized. That’s right, the 2017 Equinox will be smaller and Chevy’s new 2017 crossover will fit comfortably between the it and the Traverse, Chevy’s largest crossover.

This new plan will broaden Chevy’s crossover options for customers, giving you the choice between the extra small Trax, the Equinox, the new crossover, and the Traverse, making Chevy and Nissan the only automakers to offer four classes in the crossover segment.

Adding a new crossover will give you the option to stick with a crossover the size of the current Equinox, or go with a vehicle slightly smaller with the 2017 Equinox. This will give you more freedom of choice with Chevy, compared to its competitors, such as Ford, who still offer only three crossover options.

We know you’re waiting for some concept images and a name, but nothing has been released for the new Chevy crossover coming in 2017 other than the automaker’s plans to fit it between the Equinox and Traverse.

Something to note is that the 2017 crossover’s presence will be felt across the board at General Motors, as it will also be a base for the Cadillac XT5, slated to replace the SRX next spring, and the new GMC Acadia, which will downsize in 2016.

Downsizing the Equinox and fitting a new crossover between it and the Traverse will give Chevy two 2-row and two 3-row crossovers. Count on the new 2017 Chevy crossover looking just as good as the automaker’s other crossovers. Until then, come browse the inventory of New Chevy Cars and New Chevy Trucks at our Corunna area Chevy dealership!
