Great news, readers! Both the 4-and 5-door variants of the new 2012 Chevrolet Sonic have received a 5-star overall rating for safety, as determined by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

Worried about Chevy Volt battery safety? You're not alone. Munday Chevy, however, is here, with a few pieces of information that will hopefully help put your mind at ease.

The Chevy Volt, known for its extremely high level of consumer satisfaction (the highest actually, according to a recent study by Consumer Reports), is under investigation by the NHTSA. The reason for the investigation is an extremely small percentage of fire outbreaks stemming from the Volt's li-ion battery, shortly after a crash. Of course, any evidence of a fire outbreak is enough to warrant an investigation - not only by…

As we enter the season of giving, Chevy is teaming up with the spirit of St. Nicholas to present drivers with more savings to help make their holiday wish - whether it's a new Chevrolet Cruze LS or 2012 Chevrolet Equinox - come true.

"What qualifies as 'more savings'"? asks the savvy consumer. Let Munday Chevy tell you.

No, we're not toying with you, Chevy, in collaboration with Mattel, has created a new concept based on the original Hot Wheels Camaro. Perhaps you remember it, in all of its Spectraflame-paint and redline-tire glory.

Need a refresher? It was clad in iridescent bright green paint and fitted with dramatic, oversized wheels. And, just like the three-inch toy model, the new Chevy Camaro Hot Wheels concept features those same distinguishing components.

Speaking on the decision to create the novel model, Phil Zak, Design Director, GM says, "The [Chevrolet] Camaro has been a mainstay in the Hot Wheels lineup since…

There's been a lot of talk about the forthcoming Chevy Camaro ZL1 as of late. But, there's a new Camaro concept in the gullwings that warrants attention, too. Calling upon a bygone era when Chevy could sneak a high-performance variant past the powers that be at GM, straight into discerning auto connoisseurs' hands, it's called the COPO (Central Officer Production Order) Camaro.  However, this highly-advanced model, designed to meet the stringent codes outlined by the NHRA Stock Eliminator drag racing competition, won't go unnoticed.

That's what makes Chevy's latest concept, the COPO Camaro, so…

Among the many characters responsible for shaping the Chevrolet brand, Betty Skelton is perhaps one of the more interesting. She passed away at 85 years old late this August. And, in honor of her trailblazing spirit we hope lives on forever, we'd like to offer a brief retrospective.

What did an 85-year-old woman have to do with American automaker, Chevy? A lot! She actually began her career in the auto industry in 1956. That would be enough to break social norms in and of itself. Pushing the envelope even further, Skelton entered the auto industry via racing. After setting…
