Chevrolet Silverado hybrid
Posted Chevy Cars on Thursday, August 16th, 2007.

Motivated by the same 295-hp Vortec V-8 and 4-speed automatic, the hybrids offer all the capabilities of standard trucks and drive almost normally. Braking to a stop, the engine shuts down (with a slight shudder) below 15 mph and stays down while your foot stays on the brake. Lift your foot, it restarts almost instantly. Jump quickly from brake to gas, you get a sudden surge of torque following a momentary hesitation.

Hammonds Chevrolet Dealership Set For Grand Opening
Posted Chevy Cars on Thursday, August 16th, 2007.

“I’m so excited, I’m like a kid in a candy store,” said Hammonds, 37. “The first week we were here, I didn’t get much sleep because all I wanted to do was spend time at the dealership. When business hours were over, I kept driving around the lot, looking at all those great cars. The whole situation has been a lot of fun. With Chevrolet strengthening its lineup with 10 new products in the next 18 months, I couldn’t have picked a better time to open Tom Hammonds Chevrolet.”

Chevrolet Tahoe
Posted Chevy Cars on Thursday, August 16th, 2007.

Half the V8’s cylinders shut down when they’re not accelerating; stability control comes standard; the $2,145 navigation system is decent; the $1,295 rear-seat DVD system is a decent option for families; the engine happily drinks E85 fuel (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gas); and a hybrid version is due by the end of the year. For safety, a backup camera and sonar are available options. Unfortunately, Bluetooth isn’t offered, and fuel economy could be better. But cockpit fit and finish are vastly improved for all of GM’s 2007 full-size SUVs, including the Cadillac Escalade, the GMC Yukon, and the stretched-out Chevy Suburban and Yukon XL.

Chevrolet Tahoe: Something for Everyone
Posted Chevy Cars on Thursday, August 16th, 2007.

I tested a 2007 Chevy Tahoe loaded with techno goodies and options typical of what you’d find in the upper reaches of the GM line. This line comprises full-size SUVS: the Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade, and the jumbo-size vehicles that stretch 20 inches longer, up to 222 inches: the Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade ESV. The new Tahoe is a little heavier and bulkier than previous versions, but for a vehicle that weighs just less than 6,000 pounds, its handling is more precise and car-like.

GM put in a mega-order for SUV microprocessors, and it uses the chips to good effect: It has improved the vehicles’ anti-lock braking systems and now offers computer-aided stability control, roll-over mitigation, and tire-pressure monitoring as standard features. Given how affordable stability control can be (on a $35,000-minimum vehicle) and how foolish new-to-the-fold SUV drivers can be, GM was a bit late in making stability control standard.
