Elevating The Muscle Car Rivalry To A Whole New Level Ford versus Chevy. It's one of the greatest rivalries in the world, joining the likes of Coke versus Pepsi and Michigan versus Ohio State.

First Drive: 2012 Chevrolet Caprice PPV 1317398220

Anything But A Trivial Pursuit There's something inherently satisfying about using a blunt force object for its exact purpose, be it ripping the cover off a baseball with a Louisville Slugger or bonking one of those animatronic pop-up varmints with a rubber mallet at the local arcade. At the opposite end of the spectrum, there's something equally ...

GM Finally Gets the Compact Car Recipe Right We've met the 2012 Chevy Sonic before.

A Seven-Seater That Makes The Grass Look Greener Let's do a quick recap of famous people, places and things that bear the name Orlando. There is the hunky Hollywood star Orlando Bloom, the not-so-hunky actor Tony Orlando, and there was even a 1992 chick-flick entitled, you guessed it, Orlando.

First Drive: 2011 Chevrolet Volt 1287590220

"She Blinded Me With Science" The Chevy Volt has finally, successfully, made the leap from science fiction to fact. Quite a bit has changed in the nearly four-year journey from the 2007 Detroit Auto Show to last week, when General Motors let us drive a production-spec car.

First Drive: 2011 Chevrolet Cruze sails into new era of small cardom 1280548860

Until now, General Motors hasn't exactly taken the small-car market seriously. While Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai and Kia have built their empires on the hoods of pint-sized, fuel-efficient transportation, history has shown the captains of Detroit tend to offer up parts-bin afterthoughts.

First Drive: Callaway SC572 and SC552 is the Chevrolet Camaro done right 1278344640

And whether or not you dig the Camaro's aesthetics, you can't deny it stands out from the crowd.

First Drive: 2011 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Heavy Duty trucks set new HD standard 1276531080
