The Forthcoming Chevrolet Volt

The giant American group General Motors has revealed yesterday some new features about the next Chevrolet Volt. As it was expected, the group is designing a hybrid car to comply with the eco-friendly mood that is reaching the automotive industry -and well, we are not going to complain about that.

The Volt is going to be what its name means. GM did not design a fully electric car, but this hybrid seems to be a nice start to try to catch up some other makes (let's say, Toyota, for example). And the American carmaker announces some very interesting figures.

On its battery only, the Chevrolet Volt is said to be able to drive up to 40 miles. And with the classic fuel engine, this figure goes up to 300 miles. But more interesting, the car is expected to achieve city fuel economy of at least 230 miles per gallon.

The Chevrolet Volt is to be released in late 2010. Wait and see...

A Focus on Vauxhall



Vauxhall is a British make that was founded in the London district of Vauxhall by Alexander Wilson in 1857. But the company issued its first car only in 1903, and then moved its production line in Luton.

In 1925, Vauxhall was bought by the Americain General Motors. That's why all the vehicles from Vauxhall in the modern era are strictly derivated from the German make Opel, also owned by GM.

Maybe this is going to change as GM, in a critical position nowadays, is willing to sell its British marque. Perhaps we will see absolutely new, orginal Vauxhall models in the future!
