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.

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...

The holiday season can mean a lot of things to many different people. To some it's family, to others it's being thankful for another year of joy, and to youngest among us, it's probably about a jolly guy in a red suit. And this year, for Chevy, it's been about giving back to the community. More specifically, providing hope for kids in at-risk situations by giving them an outlet for their hopes and dreams.

This year, Chevy and celebrity photographer Linda Solomon are jointly sponsoring the 2011 Pictures of Hope Program. Annually, the Pictures of Hope Program provides cameras to kids living in...

After being named the 2011 Truck of the Year by Motor Trend magazine, there was only one way for Chevy to make the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD even better. For 2012, Chevrolet is releasing a special edition Silverado HD in honor of some of their most loyal customers: Texans.

The 2012 Chevy Silverado Texas Edition, according to Dave Nottoli, Regional Director, Sales & Marketing, Chevrolet, it's the Chevrolet Silverado HD, but the automaker "gave it…

With a growing interest in reducing CO₂ emissions, increasing fuel efficiency and saving the consumer money in the end, car makers have stepped up their game in the hybrid, alternative fuel, and electric vehicle markets. Of course, Chevrolet is no exception, setting the EV bar pretty high with the release of the Chevy Volt earlier this year. And, according to a recent announcement, they're ready to throw another EV into the mix.

The all-new Chevrolet Colorado recently launched in Thailand. After receiving wonderful feedback, the American automaker has decided to also bring a variant to the U.S.

At the start of the South East Asian kick-off, Chris Perry, VP, Global Marketing & Strategy, Chevrolet, reported, "The new Chevrolet Colorado is generating a lot of excitement...We think the design, capability and fuel efficiency of the new Colorado will make it attractive to U.S. customers."¹

It seems many drivers are still not ready to take the next step and fully commit to the Electric Vehicle lifestyle. Some people are wary to invest in a plug-in hybrid like the Chevrolet Volt.

Newness and price are some of the reasons people are not jumping on the bandwagon yet. The fact of the matter is, most consumers are not quick to change their habits or trust a new technology especially when it comes…
