Chevrolet has already added a few new models and trims to the 2017 lineup and they just added another, the 2017 Chevy Spark ACTIV. The Spark ACTIV is a more robust, versatile and sportier version of Chevy’s mini-car, the Chevy Spark.

The Spark ACTIV is new to the Chevy lineup, but is sure to be a huge seller because it is fuel efficient, tech savvy and affordable. The new Spark ACTIV has been on display at a few auto shows and it is expected to hit dealerships in the first quarter of 2017, which is right around the corner. Check out the details below, and feel free to let us know what you think on our Facebook!

New Exterior Style

To create something for busy professionals on a budget living in big cities, the Spark ACTIV has an urban chic aesthetic wrapped in a small package that easily navigates through tight city streets. Its two-door exterior style lies somewhere between a compact utility vehicle and a sporty-looking mini-car that has trail-inspired features.

Trail Capabilities

To enhance the Spark ACTIV’s trail capabilities, the Spark ACTIV has a few exterior differences. Thanks to a revised suspension, the Spark ACTIV’s ride height has been increased by .4 inches. The Spark ACTIV rides on 15-inch wheels and it is equipped with off-road skid plates, a redesigned roof rack and large fog lights. Read the rest of this entry >>

Are you going on a Thanksgiving road trip this week? Any chance you might also be bringing a pet with you? Sometimes traveling with a pet can be a challenge, but don’t let the stress of figuring out the best way to travel with a pet ruin your Thanksgiving. We have some tips and gadgets to make your Thanksgiving road trip with the little guy or gal as easy as possible.

Tips and Tricks

  • Prepping the animal for the ride is key for a painless drive. This means a few weeks before start taking the dog (or cat) for a ride around the block. This will get them used to being in a vehicle and allow for them to be more comfortable and relaxed on the road trip which in the end is beneficial to you and them.
  • Never leave the animal in the car! It doesn’t matter if it is hot or cold or the window is cracked, just don’t! This can make the pet anxious which could result in many things from them destroying you car to getting sick. Also, it is not uncommon for someone to see a pet in a car and get angry and break a window in an attempt to get the pet out of the car, especially if they don’t know that it has only been in there a couple of minutes.

Chevy has long been known for their sedans and performance cars, so of course Chevy had some excellent models on display this year at SEMA, but Chevy’s display at SEMA also featured some really cool concept trucks. This year Chevy partnered up with two very different clothing companies, Carhartt and Hurley, for two truck concepts.

Chevy Silverado HD Carhartt Concept

Carhartt has long been known for creating durable work wear that is popular among hunters, outdoorsmen and people in the farming and construction industries. So it was pretty perfect for a truck company like Chevy to partner up with Carhartt.

The engine on the Silverado HD Carhartt concept is a revised version of the Duramax Turbodiesel V8 engine. This version of the engine is able to produce up to 445 horsepower and a very impressive 910 lb-ft of torque. Wow! The engine is paired with a Allison transmission as well as a off-road suspension with a one-inch lift.

The Carhartt brand is truly integrated into the design of this Silverado HD inside and out. Carhartt interior features like the “duck brown” Carhartt color interior accents on the black leather seats, door panels, and console. Special Carhartt “C” logos as well as well as a special edition Silverado logo on the headrest of the seats as well as the floor mats. Read the rest of this entry >>
