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.

Let's continue to blow your mind. Regenerative braking. With this technology you won't have to ever worry about charging your lithium-ion battery. 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. The smooth and flowing contours of the new Impala are beautiful on the inside and out. Designed to be not only visually appealing, but also aerodynamic.

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?

A car is a major purchase on your part and a lot of research is typically important in making your decision.

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.

Rydell Chevrolet would love to answer any questions/comments you have regarding the 2012 Avalanche! Our website is http://www.rydellauto.com/index.htm .

Let's dive in and see if we can declare a clear winner between these two.

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.

Since we are on the topic of long rides on the road, what if you need to pull something? You guessed it, the 2012 Chevy Equinox is the clear choice for pulling heavy loads. 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.

Last, let's highlight some safety technology that is available in the 2012 Equinox that you might not be aware of. The Equinox offers available Lane Departure Warning that lets you know when you are wandering out of your lane with no turn signal on. Also available is the advanced Forward Collision Alert that helps detect and alert you when you are rapidly approaching a vehicle that presents the potential that a crash may be imminent. Combine this technology with 6 standard air bags and you can rest assure that you are in good hands from the moment you turn the key on until you arrive at your destination.

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.
