2012 Chevy Express 1500 Van vs. 2012 Ford Transit Connect

If you are in the market for a van that can truly benefit your business then you came to the right place. Today's comparison looks at a couple of passenger vans that allow you to get things and people from one place to another. But which does a better job, the 2012 Chevy Express or the 2012 Ford Transit? After today's review you'll be able to clearly see which is a better choice for someone who wants to get stuff done.

If you're looking for a passenger van then, well, you probably are strongly concerned with how many people can I squeeze in to the van. With the 2012 Chevy Express 1500 you are definitely going to be able to fit more people inside; a lot more. At minimum you'll be able to fit 3 more people in the Chevy Express than the Ford Transit and remember that is at minimum, you'll more than likely be able to fit more than that. The Chevy Express 1500 truly puts the word "passenger" back in to passenger van.

Next you're probably asking yourself, "How much stuff will I be able to fit into my new passenger van?" The 2012 Chevy Express van wins in this category as well. Cargo space isn't a problem with the Express 1500. 1500, 2500 and 3500 regular Cargo Vans have 239.7 cu. ft. of maximum cargo space, while 2500 and 3500 extended wheelbase models have a massive 284.4 cu. ft.That's a lot of room for you to toss tools, equipment, or whatever you need inside the Chevy Express. Want even more space? The dealer–installed Roof Rack Package lets you add carrying capacity up top. Add the Roof–Mounted Swing–out Ladder Rack Package for improved access to all of your stored items. Both are designed and engineered to perfectly fit your Express.

So let's say that you do indeed take advantage of all the seating capacity and cargo room. That has the potential to equal a lot of weight inside of your vehicle. Well, if you ended up going with the 2012 Ford Transit then you would be driving the passenger van with significantly less torque and horsepower. You want your passenger van to feel fast and powerful. Let's face it, the world isn't slow paced. You've got places to be and you've got things that need delivered. The 2012 Chevy Express 1500 van will come through in the clutch for you.

The 2013 Chevy Malibu Eco

Intelligence is a beautiful thing. The 2013 Chevy Malibu Eco offers both brains and beauty, which is something that is becoming a norm for the entire Chevrolet lineup.

Any power that is lost during braking is converted to electricity with eAssist and then stored so it can be used in the future. It's almost like science fiction. 

Safety is always a concern for vehicles. Well, the 2013 Chevy Malibu Eco comes with 8 standard air bags. Technology like OnStar, Rear Vision Camera, and Stabilitrak Electronic Stability Control System are all there to help keep you and your loved ones safe, before, during, and after a crash.

2012 Chevy Traverse vs. 2012 Dodge Durango

In today's blog we are going to competitively compare the 2012 Chevy Traverse and the 2012 Dodge Durango. These vehicles have some similarities and also some key differences that are important to consider when purchasing a 2012 Traverse or Durango. Let's fill you in on which crossover is a better choice.

When it comes to cost, fuel, and safety ratings there isn't a whole lot of differentiation between the 2012 Traverse and the 2012 Durango. The MSRP is in fact higher on the 2012 Durango and the MPG for both the city and highway is also a little lower than the Chevy Traverse. Both vehicles received the same safety crash ratings, earning 4 stars in overall and frontal crash ratings and 5 stars in side crash rating.

Comfort level is one thing that varies between these two vehicles. The 2012 Traverse is going to allow the driver and front passenger higher comfort due to the more front head- and legroom. When it comes to comfort Chevy thought of everything for the 2012 Traverse. With more cargo space than any competitor and 12 cup holders for your passengers, Chevy Runs Deep. 

The 2012 Chevy Traverse has more seating room than the 2012 Dodge Durango. How does it accomplish this? Smart Slide technology! You will be able to easily get to the Traverse's full-size third row. Go ahead and fit up to 8 people comfortably. The Durango simply can't compete with that.

When it boils down to it, the 2012 Chevy Traverse is the cross over you will be wanting to cross over for. It's a vehicle that has everything you need. It's got the cargo space, its got the seating capacity, it's got the good MPG, and it's technology packed. Both the exterior and interior were designed with you in mind. It's the more attractive choice for you and your wallet. Sorry Dodge Durango, maybe next year.

The 2014 Impala Revealed

The Impala has always been a flagship for Chevrolet. It's been a Chevy legend for more than 50 years. While this is something to be proud about, Chevy didn't want to focus on the past when it came to the 2014 Impala. No, they decided to do quite the opposite actually. It is finally safe to say the future is here. 

The 2014 Chevy Impala is a stunning new interpretation of the Impala we have come to know and love over the years.

A rich blending of wood and chrome inside the interior offer the tranquility you desire and somehow give you a sense of being connected to both car and environment.


In times like these people like options. The 2014 Chevy Impala lets you choose from 3 engine choices. There is the available 303-horsepower 3.6L V6 engine that goes from 0 to 60 in 6.8 seconds and offers 28 highway MPG, there's the standard 2.5L  4-cylinder engine that delivers 31 MPG on the highway and 195 horsepower, and finally there is the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine with E-assist that delivers an estimated 35 MPG on the highway and 182 horsepower. Take your pick with the comfort knowing that Chevy Runs Deep.


When we said that it was safe to say the future was here you probably instantly thought about technology. Well, advanced, driver-friendly technology will surround you in the 2014 Impala. Of course this new Impala is going to come with the latest version of Chevrolet MyLink. You'll have wireless BlueTooth, touch screen technology that hasn't been seen before in a Chevy, and natural voice recognition. Want to customize your touch screen? You'll be able to alter it so you have easier access to the features you use and love most. Oh yeah, we almost forgot to mention the USB ports and the ability to stream music from sites like Pandora with ease. Technology is good.


How many airbags would you want to be ready to activate and keep you and your family or friends safe in the incident of an accident? Well the all new 2014 Impala has 10 of them. Stronger steel in the structure doesn't hurt either. Remember the technology we were just talking about? There's more of it.

2012 Chevy Camaro vs. 2012 Nissan 370Z

Let's say you're on the hunt for a sports car that will impress. Let's say that you want a vehicle that has an iconic appearance that will make people stop and stare, but you also want good gas mileage and safety. Would you choose the 2012 Chevy Camaro or the 2012 Nissan 370Z? Would you rather brag to your friends that you just purchased a well-established, well-known car like the Camaro or some car they probably they aren't sure what it is or what it looks like aka the 370Z?

The 2012 Camaro truly delivers a pulse-racing experience every time you step inside one. How does it do it? It's sleek exterior and interior in combination with its power. The 2012 Chevy Camaro blows the Nissan 370Z out of the water in terms of horsepower and torque. Remember, you're looking for a sports car. Sports cars are fast, powerful, and mean business.

Everyone wants a sports car, but no one wants to pay a hefty price for one. Well when you look at the invoice price on the 2012 Camaro when compared to the 2012 370Z the Camaro comes competitively equipped at $26,180 while the Nissan 370Z is going to start at $33,150. Save that extra cash you saved when choosing the Camaro and put it towards your next hot date that you get to take out in your 2012 Camaro.

When one thinks of a sports car one instantly thinks of burning rubber and breaking laws such as speed limits. Speed is fun, but speed always increases risk. Let's say that a crash does in the off chance occur. What would you say if you knew that the 2012 Camaro was the first vehicle to earn a perfect NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating.  The 2012 Nissan 370Z hasn't earned an achievement as prestigious as that. Just remember, Chevy has you covered before, during, and after a crash. 6 standard airbags. An ultra-strength steel safety cage. Chevy Runs Deep.

When you have a sports car like the 2012 Camaro you want people to be able to ride with you and enjoy its beauty. Well, unfortunately the 370Z only has seating capacity for 2 people. The Camaro has room for 4. What if these people have belongings with them and need cargo space to store them? You guessed it, the Nissan 370Z offers you significantly less cargo space than the 2012 Chevy Camaro.

What does this all boil to? It boils down to the fact that the Chevy Camaro is an American legend. It's the luxury of power. It's the luxury of safety. It's design is so cool. Let's say you choose the 2012 Camaro. What are your other two wishes?

2012 Chevy Avalanche vs. 2012 Toyota Tundra

Today's comparison of Chevy vehicles vs. the competition looks at the 2012 Chevy Avalanche and how it stacks up against the 2012 Toyota Tundra. We'll give you a hint. Which of the two vehicles can transform from an SUV to a pickup in less than a minute? That would be the 2012 Avalanche. We gave away the winner between these two vehicles early, but lets take a closer look at how the Avalanche tops the Tundra.

Just because we are dealing with trucks doesn't mean there is nothing positive to say about fuel economy. The 2012 Avalanche offers better city and highway gas mileage than the Tundra. Combine that with the larger gas tank and you have a recipe for some serious cruising range, in fact you have a cruising range that is very close to 100 more miles in the city and over 100 more miles of cruising range on the highway than the 2012 Tundra. Everyone hates fueling up at the station. Avoid it more with the 2012 Chevy Avalanche.

When we look at the comfort levels between the 2012 Avalanche and the 2012 Tundra it is clear that your passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Avalanche. While both vehicles offer seating capacity for up to 6 people, the question now becomes where are they going to put all of their stuff? When it comes to trunk size, the Avalanche has you covered. It has the largest trunk in the industry which means storage capacity galore for you and your family and friends.

In terms of horsepower and torque both vehicles do a sufficient job. The 2012 Avalanche offers up to 8,100 lbs of towing capacity. The coil-sprung suspension on the Avalanche means that you can haul large items such as a boat without sacrificing any ride quality. That being said, there isn't a whole lot of difference between the Tundra and the Avalanche in powertrain.

Although the 2012 Avalanche does come with a higher price tag, you are paying for higher quality, a more stylish appearance, and you are paying for the only vehicle on the market that is really two-in-one since it can flip back and forth between an SUV and a pickup. The technology, the safety features, it's all there with the 2012 Chevy Avalanche. Head to http://www.chevrolet.com/avalanche-suv-truck/ for a more in-depth breakdown.

We want to blow your mind right off the bat. What if we told you that the 2012 Equinox offered you 100+ more miles on its highway cruising range than the 2012 RAV4. That's simply a statistic you can't afford to ignore. Cruising ranges like that plus better EPA estimated fuel economy mean you'll pass a lot more gas stations with a smile on your face if you go with the 2012 Equinox.

For some people, bigger is better. The 2012 Chevy Equinox is a little longer than the RAV4 meaning it is also a little more roomier. In the backseat passengers will have more room to get comfortable in the Equinox than the Toyota RAV4. This will be nice on long rides when you have the entire family in the vehicle. You are probably going to be hearing a lot less of "Are we there yet?" with the Equinox due to this increased comfort room.

With greater torque and horsepower than the Toyota RAV4 you can drive with piece of mind knowing that your crossover can handle the extra weight exceptionally well.

2012 Chevy Colorado vs. 2012 Toyota Tundra

The 2012 Chevy Colorado and the 2012 Toyota Tundra offer a different truck for different purposes. In the comparison between these two trucks you will see that one is more about power and towing while the other is more about fuel economy, comfort, and handling, while offering a significant lower price than the other. The 2012 Colorado and 2012 Tundra both offer the same seating capacity and similar safety ratings.

The truck that fits the power and towing description from above is the 2012 Toyota Tundra. This vehicle is all about being able to offer its driver the torque and performance to pull heavy loads. What else comes along with this ability though? A much higher price tag. The 2012 Tundra is going to have you digging a lot deeper in to your wallet than the 2012 Colorado. On top of spending more up front, you are going to be spending more time at the gas station filling up due to the significant lower MPG offered by the Tundra.

The 2012 Chevy Colorado is going to be a much better choice for the average consumer who isn't worried about towing and pulling heavy loads on a daily basis. As mentioned above a huge plus to the Colorado is the gas mileage. The 2012 Colorado blows the entire competition out of the water when it comes to highway MPG. 25 miles per gallon to be exact. That number averages 5 to 7 more miles per gallon than the competition.

While you're out on the open road you want to be comfortable. The 2012 Colorado has the edge over the 2012 Tundra on comfort as well. Offering you greater head- and legroom, the Colorado is roomier and going to give you a more comfortable ride. That's worth something, right?

As mentioned earlier, the 2012 Tundra is considerably more expensive than the 2012 Colorado, but just how much? A little research on the Internet will provide you with all of the proof you need. You will stumbled across sites that have the 2012 Tundra listed as $10,000 higher! In tough times like these that isn't good. The 2012 Colorado is much more economical and a better bang for your buck.

One last comment about the 2012 Colorado and 2012 Tundra is in regards to the dimensions of the vehicles and the handling. The 2012 Colorado is slimmer which means parking will be more of a breeze in the Colorado due to the fact you will be able to squeeze into more parking spaces in a crowded lot. Handling wise, the 2012 Colorado has a smaller turning radius allowing you greater maneuverability.

We hope that we have provided you with enough evidence to show that the 2012 Chevy Colorado is the better choice between these two trucks. It saves you a lot more money while providing a handful of other benefits the Tundra can't match.

2012 Chevy Cruze vs. 2012 Honda Civic

The 2012 Chevy Cruze and the 2012 Honda Civic have been labeled as "very similar" and "even in a lot of categories". This may be true, but after today's review of these two compact cars we think you will have gained an understanding on which vehicle is a better choice. Let's be honest, the 2012 Cruze didn't receive the U.S. News and World Report award for "Best Compact Car for the Money" for nothing.

Have you heard of Eco? If you haven't, it's definitely something worth familiarizing yourself with. The bottom line with Eco is that this technology on the 2012 Cruze is going to give you some of the highest highway gas mileage on a gasoline engine in America. 42 MPG to be exact. That's simply something the 2012 Honda Civic can't compete with.

Let's talk utility. The 2012 Chevy Cruze and 2012 Honda Civic do match up comparably in head- and legroom, however they don't in trunk space. The Cruze is going to give you an additional 3 cubic feet of more cargo volume than the Civic meaning the advantage here goes to the Cruze. You'll appreciate that extra trunk space at some point down the road.

Safety is always an import issue when you and your family are on the road. You'll be comforted to know that the 2012 Cruze had you and your loved ones in mind when it was built. While both vehicles received Top Safety Picks, the Cruze managed to snag a 5 star rating in comparison to the Honda Civic which managed to score a not very impressive rating of 3 stars. Let's say you do end up getting in an accident. How does 10 airbags sound? The 2012 Chevy Cruze is one of the few compact cars on the market to offer that many.

A few last comments. The 2012 Cruze offers more torque and also offers a more extended warranty on it's powertrain/drivetrain, which is a 5 year 100,000 warranty in comparison to a 5 year 60,000 warranty offered by the 2012 Honda Civic. Chevy Runs Deep.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. When you look across the board at the stats and features, the 2012 Tahoe dominates the Sequoia. Let us show you why.

Comfort: Every wants a lot of it while on the road. The 2012 Tahoe offers plenty of it; much more than the 2012 Sequoia.

Lets talk gas. With gas prices causing everyone to grow grey hair at an exponential rate these days MPG is always a serious concern when looking for a new vehicle. When you look at the gas mileage the 2012 Chevy Tahoe offers in comparison to the 2012 Toyota Sequoia, there really is actually no comparison. The Tahoe is going to give you superior gas mileage in the city and on the highway. This also means the cruising range is greater in the Tahoe, so get out there and hit the open road with the peace of mind that your vehicle isn't going to break your bank (if you choose the Tahoe). 

But in all reality, who cares about gas mileage with the Tahoe or Sequoia if the MSRP isn't customer friendly. Well my friends the 2012 Tahoe is definitely a lot more friendly on your wallet than the 2012 Toyota Sequoia. To be exact, thousands more friendly. Use the money you'll save if you choose the 2012 Chevy Tahoe over the 2012 Toyota Sequoia to go to Vegas, or start a college fund for your son. 

Speaking of a trip to Vegas, you're going to want to pack your vehicle full of friends and luggage. Guess what! The 2012 Tahoe offers you the room to fit 1-2 people more inside of it than the 2012 Sequoia, so bring everyone! Doesn't this mean that the Tahoe's dimensions are going to be larger and less convenient to park than the Sequoia? Nope. With the 2012 Tahoe you'll be able to squeeze in and out of parking spots easier than if you were in a Sequoia.

2012 Chevy Impala vs. 2012 Ford Taurus

Today's comparison takes a look at two popular American sedans. Which one is going to be more friendly on your wallet, at the gas station, and on you and your passengers? Let's dive in and examine these two models and see if we can declare a winner.

Let's first look at the comfort and utility aspects of the 2012 Chevy Impala when compared to the 2012 Ford Taurus. While there isn't much difference in head- and legroom between these two, if you look at the numbers that deal with dimensions for comfort, the 2012 Impala consistently does offer you more room than the Taurus. We know you've got friends that are going to want to ride in your new 2012 Chevy Impala, which is perfect due to the fact that the Impala offers greater seating capacity than the Taurus. Everybody jump in! You've got room to say that if you choose the Chevy Impala.

Gas mileage and MPG are always major concerns when shopping for a vehicle these days.The 2012 Chevy Impala's 30 highway MPG cannot be matched by the Taurus, meaning you can relax when driving down the open road knowing you've got a vehicle that isn't going to break your bank when it comes to gasoline. The two models match up comparably when dealing with city MPG. When it comes to gas mileage, Chevy takes it seriously and doesn't believe that you need to sacrifice anything at the pump.

As we continue our comparison of these two sedans our next stop is drivetrain and performance. The 2012 Chevy Impala is the winner in these two categories as well. The Impala offers higher torque and higher horsepower when compared to the 2012 Ford Taurus. The advanced technology which comes from advanced engineering in the Impala is what makes it special. You'll feel the luxury of a smooth ride, even with all that power under the hood waiting to come to life if needed.

One last punch to seal the knockout deal in our comparison of the 2012 Impala vs. the 2012 Taurus is the dimension factor. Everyone has had countless times where you're running late and need to find a quick parking spot, but the vehicle you're driving isn't so parking lot friendly. Well if you choose the 2012 Chevy Impala instead of the 2012 Ford Taurus you'll have less of those moments and be able to maneuver in and out of parking spots more easily. Chevy Runs Deep.

2012 Chevy Traverse vs. 2012 Honda Pilot

Today's comparison looks at a couple of crossovers, one being the 2012 Chevy Traverse and the other being the 2012 Honda Pilot. But which model should you actually "cross over" for? Let's take a closer look and find out.

To start off, there really isn't much difference in space between these two models when talking about passengers in the backseat, however there is some separation between the two when talking about the driver and passenger seats. The 2012 Traverse is going to give you a little more head- and legroom in the front when compared to the 2012 Pilot thus making life a little more comfortable for the people up front in the Traverse.

Like power? We thought so. The numbers don't lie when you compare the 2012 Traverse to the 2012 Pilot in terms of horsepower and torque. The Chevy Traverse dominates the Pilot in both categories meaning the Traverse does a superior job of transmitting power to its wheels more effectively. Go ahead and brag to your friends about your new 2012 Traverse's power.

While both models are going to offer you the option to fit 8 people into them, there is one model that is going to allow you to do that AND offer you more cargo space. You guessed it, the 2012 Traverse is our winner here as well. Load up your 2012 Traverse with peace of mind knowing you are driving the vehicle with the greatest cargo space in its class.

520. That's the cruising range of the 2012 Traverse. Not too shabby, huh? And guess what, you have a lot at your fingertips to play with during those 520 miles. The 2012 Traverse has SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth Wireless Technology, a USB port, Mobile Apps, and Turn-by-Turn Navigation. Other technology included in the Traverse is a rear-view camera system and UltraSonic Rear Parking assist. Now that's smart. Smarter than us over here at Rydell Chevrolet, that's for sure.

Lastly, the 2012 Traverse received a 5 star overall vehicle score for safety. The vehicle has you and your loved ones in mind. Before, during, or after a crash, you're covered. Be smart and choose the 2012 Chevy Traverse over the 2012 Honda Pilot, you'll thank us later we promise.

2012 Chevy Suburban 1/2-Ton vs. 2012 Ford Expedition EL

It's obvious that the 2012 Suburban and the 2012 Expedition are large and mean business on the road. Let's compare these two big machines and see what SUV earns the crown.

Big vehicles for big people. Tall people are going to love the 2012 Chevy Suburban 1/2-Ton due to it's greater front head- and legroom than the 2012 Expedition. Got a lot of people? That's not an issue either due to the seating capacity of the Suburban. When compared to the 2012 Expedition, the 2012 Suburban can actually fit an entire extra person plus more cargo. Now that's big.

Now some people are going to be nervous when it comes to parking the 2012 Suburban or Expedition. You can be at ease if you chose the 2012 Chevy Suburban. It has a smaller turning radius than the 2012 Expedition meaning you will be able to maneuver in and out of tight parking spots more easily with the Suburban.

Let me guess, you're thinking, "These huge SUV's are just a couple of gas guzzling machines that are going to have me spending a ridiculous amount on gas every couple weeks". Well know this. The 2012 Suburban offers an EPA estimated 15 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway, both of which are higher than the Expedition. This of course means that the cruising range is going to be better with the Suburban, and it is. The 2012 Suburban is going to give you close to 50 more miles on it's cruising range than the 2012 Expedition on the highway, at 651 and 603, respectively.

One last bit of information for you, while both vehicles offer the standard 3 year/ 36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, the 2012 Suburban also offers a 100,000 mile Powertrain/Drivetrain limited warranty whereas the 2012 Expedition is only going to give you 60,000 miles with that warranty.

2012 Chevy Camaro vs. 2012 Ford Mustang

The debate continues today when we take a look at two of the most iconic American sports cars on the market. How do the 2012 models of these two attractive vehicles stack up against each other? Let's take a look at a few of the stats and see if we can't declare a winner in this competition.

Chances are if you own a 2012 Chevy Camaro or a 2012 Ford Mustang you are going to want to show it off and hit the open road. Total cruising range in both the city and the highway is longer with the Camaro than the Mustang, meaning on a full tank of gas you are will be able to do and see more. All of this extra time on the road means more chances for an accident, right? Well don't worry about that, you're in good hands with the 2012 Chevy Camaro. The Camaro received 5-star ratings in Overall Safety rating, Frontal Crash rating, and Side Crash rating. Sexy meets safety when dealing with the 2012 Camero.

When we look at the comfort level for passengers in these two vehicles there is one clear choice for comfort. The 2012 Camaro has great leg- and headroom than the 2012 Mustang allowing for a more comfortable ride all around. Not only will you look good in a 2012 Camaro, but you'll feel good as well.

Let's get down to the nitty gritty facts that every guy wants to know. What vehicle has more "muscle"? Your winner for torque and horsepower does in fact go to the 2012 Chevy Camaro. The Camaro does a better job transmitting power to it's wheels resulting in a faster feel than the 2012 Mustang. Sorry Ford, maybe next year. This year's comparison has left one clear winner when it comes to appearance, comfort, power, and style. Don't get left in the dust with a Mustang, choose the 2012 Chevy Camaro!

2012 Chevy Silverado 3500 vs. GMC Sierra 3500

Power, performance, and payload. The 3 P's. That's what you'll get with the Silverado 3500 and you'll get a lot of it. With the 2012 Silverado 3500 being able to tow up to 23,000 lbs, it's no wonder that the Silverado offers the best-in-class maximum towing capacity and best-in-class maximum payload capacity.

The 2012 Silverado offers a Tow/Haul mode option that is going to enhance your performance when pulling heavy loads. This technology modifies that automatic transmission shift schedule and helps reduce throttle pedal activity. Brand new for the 2012 Silverado 3500 model is Cruise Grade Braking which uses transmission downshifts to allow engine compression braking. As you can see, not only is this truck strong, it's smart.

When comparing the comfort level between the Chevy Silverado 3500 and the GMC Sierra 3500 there is a distinct winner. Offering greater head- and legroom is the Silverado allowing passengers to stretch out more than if they were in a GMC Sierra. Isn't that nice? Oh yeah, the seats are have heating and cooling options as well.  The 2012 Silverado doesn't make you compromise anything- You get it all, power, performance, payload, comfort, and we haven't even talked about safety yet (don't worry, the Silverado won't disappoint you there either).

The 2012 GMC Sierra 3500's MSRP is higher than the Chevy Silverado 3500 meaning it's going to make you dive into your wallet a little more. That's never good. Not in times like these it's not. Make the smart move and go with the 2012 Silverado 3500 because Chevy Runs Deep, on and off the job.

Spring is in the Air! Tips on Cleaning Your Ride

It's that time of year again. Time to tuck away the ice scraper and clean out all the trash in the backseat that accumulated over the cold winter months. Now is the perfect time to spend some time and make your vehicle shine in the sun this spring. Here is a list of some tips on what should all be done:

Interior

1. Clear the Clutter. Throw away things or store things you don't really need anymore. The result will be a much more spacious interior and you'll feel great the next time you hop in.
2. Clean the INSIDE of your windows. Over the winter months the outside of your windows may have been taken care of, but chances are you didn't touch the interior side of your windows once. Doing this will result in much cleaner glass that will increase your visibility and appearance of your ride. 
3. Protect your inside from the sun. Now with less clutter in your car and cleaner windows there is going to be a lot more sun entering your ride. Combat the sun and protect your leather/plastic surfaces by heading to your nearest store and purchasing some lotions that will protect your interior.
4. Remember, it's allergy season. That means vacuum and vacuum often. This will help get rid of built up pollen in your vehicle that could worsen your allergies

Exterior

1. As obvious as washing your car is for spring cleaning, it may not be enough. You may notice that after a personal wash your exterior still looks cloudy and faded, however this look may not be permanent. Calling professionals may be your next best bet to really get that sparkle back for your vehicle. 
2. Put a fresh coat of wax on after the car has been washed up to your standards! This is both great protection and also makes the color of your vehicle really pop. 

Under the Hood/Underside

1. Fluid levels. Monitor these and see what has been neglected over the dark winter months. Having all of your fluid levels filled up will ensure the safe operation of your vehicle and reduce chances for any kind of accident.
2. Crawl underneath your car and see if there has been any damage to your vehicle over the winter months. Especially look for corrosion and rust build-up. If you aren't sure if any real damage has been done make a pit stop at your local dealership or other professional and have them take a look

Introducing the 2013 Chevy Spark

It's time for you to meet the 2013 Chevy Spark, which will be appearing in American streets this summer. This hipster looking vehicle is the "city driving solution" according to Chevrolet's website.

Affordability meets swagger.

A low price tag doesn't meet the vehicle has to put you at a low emotionally to drive it. That's why the 2013 Chevy Spark offers Bluetooth capability, OnStar RemoteLink app, USB port so you can plug in your portable devices, and a 7 inch digital touch screen that you can operate to pump music out of your SiriusXM Satellite radio. Woah, that was a mouthful. This little guy really packs a punch when it comes to technology.

An exciting concept for the 2013 Spark is that Chevy is actually going to offer tons of color customization options for your new Spark. For example, get your 2013 Spark in "Lemonade" or how about "Techno Pink". Are you fan of jalapenos? There's a shade for that as well. Everyone has their own identity and the 2013 Spark lets you express it.

Just how many airbags can you squeeze into this little sucker? Apparently 10. Chevy is offering every Spark with 10 standard airbags. That's safety, and that's not all of course. The Chevy Spark also comes with StabiliTrak Stability Control System with Brake Assist to help out when the roads aren't looking too shabby. Trust us, safety won't be a concern even for a vehicle of the Spark's stature.

We here at Rydell are excited to eventually get our hands on some of these down the road when they are released in the U.S. this summer. If you have any questions regarding this new Chevy product don't hesitate to contact us!

2012 Chevy Avalanche 1500 vs. 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT

The 2012 Chevy Avalanche and the 2012 Cadillac Escalade don't go unnoticed. They're both large, intimidating, and attractive models. But what vehicle is the better choice for you? Let's try and clear up some of the questions surrounding these two models in our comparison today.

The factor that really jumps out at you as you look at the 2012 Avalanche in comparison to the 2012 Escalade is price. The Cadillac Escalade is considerably more expensive than the Avalanche. We're talking around $20,000 more. That's pretty significant.

The beating to your wallet won't stop once you've purchased a 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT either. You'll be making many more stops at the fueling station with the Escalade than the Avalanche due to the fact the Escalade only offers only 13 EPA estimated MPG in the city and 18 on the highway while the 2012 Avalanche is going to give you an EPA estimated 15 MPG in the city and 21 on the highway. The cruising range for the 2012 Avalanche is close to 100 more miles on the highway than the Escalade EXT!  If you choose the Avalanche go ahead and honk and wave at your friend who chose the Escalade as you drive by them filling up at your local gas station. They'll get the hint.

There isn't much difference in leg- and headroom between these two models, however you will be able to fit one more person in the 2012 Avalanche in comparison to the 2012 Escalade EXT. They both offer a V-8 engine and both have similar dimensions when it comes to parking or fitting your vehicle in a garage. We leave you with one final question: Is the 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT worth it's hefty price tag?

2012 Chevy Cruze vs. 2012 Toyota Corolla

Today's look at two vehicles puts the 2012 Chevy Cruze up against the 2012 Toyota Corolla. While these vehicles have been said to be very similar across the board, I think after this discussion you will see that the Cruze is a cut above the Corolla. Let's take a look and see why.

When it comes to performance and power the Cruze gives you a higher torque than the 2012 Corolla. This translates over to the fact when we talk about horsepower the 2012 Chevy Cruze is going to feel a lot more powerful than the Corolla. The Cruze does a better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the 2012 Corolla.

This power and performance advantage doesn't mean you have to sacrifice utility and comfort. The Chevy Cruze definitely has a roomier feel to it due to the fact it allows for significantly more cargo capacity and also offers more front head and leg room.

Three other important features of a vehicle that consumers are concerned with more than ever are gas mileage, safety, and technology. You guessed it, the Cruze has the Corolla beat there as well. With the 2012 Cruze's 5 star overall safety rating combined with technology like Turn-by-Turn Navigation and the Infotainment System you have a vehicle that impresses on both the inside and the outside.

2012 Chevy Traverse vs. 2012 Toyota Highlander

The 2012 Chevy Traverse is truly a crossover that excels in all areas, but how does it match up against the 2012 Toyota Highlander? The 2012 Traverse is definitely ideal for hauling around a group of people due to its full-size third row feature. This allows the Traverse to comfortably fit 8 adults while offering more leg room than all competitors. 

Other areas the 2012 Traverse has dominance over the Highlander in is torque, towing capacity, and horsepower. Compared to the Traverse the Highlander won't feel near as powerful on the road. Have something heavy to pull? The 2012 Chevy Traverse is clearly the consumers choice for hauling heavy loads. All in all when the 2012 Traverse flexes its muscles the Highlander runs away scared.

One last comment about fuel economy. The 2012 Traverse offers a substantially higher cruising range in the city and on the highway meaning it's more convenient to drive than the Highlander and also more friendly on your wallet.

There are two big differences between these two trucks, two differences that strongly point in the direction of the 2012 Chevy Colorado. These differences are price and MPG. The 2012 Nissan Frontier is listed several thousand dollars higher than the 2012 Colorado, meaning when you want to save you go with the Colorado.

2012 Chevy Equinox vs. 2012 Honda CR-V

The next vehicle comparisons we are going to take a look at include the 2012 Chevy Equinox and the 2012 Honda CR-V. These vehicles both have the same stats in seating capacity and both have an Inline-4 engine, however there are several factors that make the 2012 Chevy Equinox a clearly better choice than the 2012 Equinox. Let's take a look at what separates these two vehicles.

When dealing with the comfort level, passengers in a 2012 Chevy Equinox are going to be more comfortable due to its greater head and legroom which allows for the passengers to stretch a lot more in the Equinox than the CR-V. This is good news for taller drivers and passengers.

What is more important these days than fuel economy with gas prices always on the rise? The 2012 Chevy Equinox's 32 MPG tops the CR-V's 28 MPG meaning you will be spending less time at the gas station and more time getting to where you need to go. Filling up less means you save money and time.

Now the fun stuff. The 2012 Equinox has higher torque, meaning it transmits power to its wheels more efficiently than the 2012 CR-V. Need to pull something? The 2012 Equinox has you covered there and also has more more horsepower than the CR-V. In every way the 2012 Equinox out-muscles the 2012 Honda CR-V. Stronger is better and that's what the Equinox is, trust us.

Chevy Concept Cars: Code 130R and TRU 140S

The future is an exciting place. Chevy recently introduced two concept cars, the Code 130R and TRU 140S which highlight possible options for future Chevy models. Both of these concept models are designed to find out what younger buyers are interested, mainly in the range of 14-20 years old, aka future Chevy drivers. 

Code 130R

The Code 130R really offers Chevy an opportunity to establish connections with an audience that isn't even concerned with buying a nice vehicle at the time being, yet it allows Chevy to get ideas on what this age demographic desires in a car so it can connect with them down the road. Examples of this include a survey of the age demographic which resulted in the conclusion that this young generation like a four-seater due to their social nature. The powertrain options being discussed could allow the Chevy 130R to get up to 40mpg and sell for within the range of low $20,000's.

TRU 140S

Like the Chevy Code 130R the Chevy TRU 140S is marketed towards a younger audience. The TRU 140S is designed to entice these 14-20 year olds with a sporty, aesthetically appealing car that won't completely break their banks. Like the 130R this vehicle could have an MSRP around the low $20,000's.

We at Rydell think these two concept vehicles are really attractive and have some possible great benefits for the future of Chevy models. Let us know what you think about the Code 130R and the TRU 140S!
