It was either that or a Colorado ZR2. Last night’s MLB All-Star Game in Miami proved to be one for the ages. After going an extra inning, the American League walked away victorious with a game-winning homer by Seattle Mariner Robinson Cano. Cano, meanwhile, walked away with his first MVP trophy in eight All-Star game appearances, and a brand new Chevy Corvette Grand Sport. After going 1-for-2 in the game with a game-winning home run, an RBI, and a run scored, Cano was given the choice of either a 460-horsepower (343-kilowatt) Corvette Grand Sport, or a trail-rated Colorado ZR2. Naturally, Cano chose the former. He’s just the third Mariner to win the coveted All-Star MVP trophy following Ichiro Suzuki in 2007, and Ken Griffey Jr. in 1992. For reference, the Corvette Grand Sport has an asking price of $65,450, and delivers the aforementioned 460 hp (343 kW) courtesy of a 6.2-liter V8. From a standstill, the Grand Sport is able to sprint to 60 … [Read more...] about All-Star Game MVP Robinson Cano Gets Corvette Grand Sport

Old Versus New - Bolt Versus GTI The world's original hot hatch has fallen victim to the Chevrolet Bolt. We've seen hundreds of videos now of various Tesla smoking gas competitors, but are there other electric cars that can put a beat down on gas vehicles of a similar size? Seen here is a Volkswagen Golf GTI equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. It's a 6-second, 0 to 60 MPH car, or thereabouts. Meanwhile, the Bolt can reportedly (according to Motor Trend) do the 0 to 60 MPH dash in 6.3 seconds and rip through the quarter-mile in 14.9 seconds at 93.1 mph The video shows three separate races, with the Chevy Bolt winning two of three. But when the starts off the line are relatively even, the Bolt blows the GTI away. Just like in all the Model S races we've seen, the EV gets repeatable, consistent results, whereas the gas car struggles to return consistent times.

The only truck in its class to have front and rear electronic locking differentials. Introduced last November at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the new Chevy Colorado ZR2 was developed to tackle just about any type of terrain there is while being easy to live with on a daily basis to and from work.
