Chevrolet celebrates 100 years in the automaking business, with vehicles sold worldwide in more than 120 countries. Chevrolet famously brought us the Chevy Camaro and the Chevrolet
Corvette, legends in the auto industry for sportiness, style and speed. The
2012 Camaro Coupe stands out for its safety rating too. It is the first vehicle of any type to achieve the top scores possible (five stars) in every category in the newly revised, tougher testing regiment of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program. Camaro has always been about performance, and that includes safety performance, states Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser, We always strive for five-star ratings, and the fact that we achieved them under more rigorous requirements is a great accomplishment.
Chevrolet delivers for its loyal fans and maintains a huge presence in the ever-changing world of the auto industry. Chevy Silverado pickups are still a top seller and there are Silverado Hybrids for those who want the power of the pickup with the fuel economy of a hybrid. Chevy knows that innovation is a top priority, and their quest to be the best has never waned.

2012 Chevrolet Volt - Green Car of the Year |
Chevrolet is known for fuel efficient cars, and as the focus on new technology trends toward electric, Chevy stepped up to the plate in a big way with the Chevrolet Volt. At the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, the Chevrolet Volt was named Car of the Year. This vehicle also won the
Green Car Journal's 2011 Green Car of the Year Award at the LA Auto Show, making it first time that an electric car has taken this prize. The Volt has an EPA estimated driving range of 379 miles, with an ability to go 35 miles electrically, after which the gas engine/generator kick in over to provide an additional 344 miles on a full charge. The 2013 Chevy Malibu is stepping up to the plate in the fuel efficiency market with the Malibu Eco, projected to get approximately 38 miles per gallon in gas. Now, Chevy is dipping its toes into the city-car market by announcing the Chevy Spark. This car is a small car with a whole lot of features and fun packed into it. With 10 airbags, heated seats and an
OnStar safety and security system, this car is sure to demonstrate that big things come in small packages.
