Connell Chevrolet

Detroit, the famed Motor City, is making a comeback. It will once again be the vibrant town of industry and success, so long as companies like General Motors continue to invest in it, as they have for generations.

This is the place where new Chevrolet vehicles, like the hybrid electric 2012 ChevyVolt are masterfully built and sent off to Connell Chevrolet of Costa Mesa, CA.

GM and Chevrolet's passion for bringing jobs back to…

It seems like the days of simply popping a CD mix into your new Chevy are over. Chevrolet has just announced that it plans to replace CD players with auxiliary ports and USB inputs for its 2013 Spark and Sonic models.

We at Connell Chevrolet in Costa Mesa, are very excited about this news. Chevy's switch from CDs to USP and auxiliary connectivity proves that Chevrolet has the goal of staying at the forefront…

Setting an example for others can be a daunting task. Especially when you're paving the path for new Chevrolet models of the future. Thankfully, we think the forthcoming 2013 Chevrolet Traverse is well-equipped to handle this task. Making its debut at the 2012 New York auto show, the three-row crossover hints at the new front end of other models to come.

While Chevrolet hasn't completely flipped the popular Traverse, the automaker has equipped…

You might not think that you can get Bluetooth, satellite radio, heated seats, keyless entry, an EPA-estimated 33 mpg combined, and a peppy 1.4-liter Turbo four-cylinder engine all for under $19k. Except, the Chevy Sonic is here to prove that you can. And you don't have to compromise to get it.

Because, sure, if you're trying to be economical, you could get a more expensive car and cut out the things you...

Diesel powertrains have long been an optimal choice for drivers in Europe. Drivers in America, however, have been a bit harder to convince. The notion of 'diesel' brings to mind big rigs, school buses, and tractors. The truth is, however, some of the greenest cars on the road today are diesel powered, and many automakers intend to bring more of this fuel-efficient (and cost-efficient) technology to the United States. Chevrolet is no exception, as they...

How much do you know about vehicles powered by compressed natural gas? We're guessing not a whole lot - it's not an extremely popular power train variant here in the United States, but many automakers have begun to adopt it as gasoline prices continue to climb and environmental concerns grow. It's also more cost-effective - the technology to retrofit or convert fleet and public transportation vehicles into CNG-powered vehicles is readily available.

Here are...

If you watched the Super Bowl this year, you probably caught the Chevy Sonic having a bit of fun. Okay, a lot of fun. And with the help of the Band OK Go, it not only starred in it's very first music video, it made the music for the video. This was just one of many exciting spots for Chevy during the big game.

For years, OK Go has been releasing fun-natured and daring...

Since Chevy released the Sonic last year, we've seen it do some pretty impressive things. In fact, 2012 Chevrolet Sonic has done things that most of us here at Connell Chevrolet wouldn't even attempt. It's skydived, it's parachuted, it even became a part of the world's largest claw game for a night. And with some help from stuntman Rob Dyrdek, it kick flipped over the world's longest skateboard.

No, we're not kidding. With MTV cameras rolling at...

As of the beginning of the month, every single $3.5-million, 30-second ad spot available for the 2012 Super Bowl has been snatched up. That's right, the slots are sold out. So, even if you had a few million dollars and an ad campaign up your sleeve, you'd be out of luck. Unless of course, you want to help Chevy pick one of their four commercials set to run during the big game...

When you think of a Chevy Camaro, you probably think of the powerful engine, the aggressive look, impressive quarter-mile times around a track, and maybe some street racing. Probably the last thing on your mind is how safe it is, right? Well, that's okay, because Chevrolet has gone to great measures to ensure that the 2012 Camaro is as safe as it is powerful - if not more so.

When it comes to safety, you...
