Out With the Old - In With the New...Happy New Year!!
Chevrolet: Update, Changes, etc. for the 2010 Model LineAVALANCHE: The stereo gets a USB port, and 4x4 models get a single-speed transfer case; last year's low-range transfer case is now an extra-cost option.
AVEO: Horsepower is up from 106 to 108, the manual transmission gets higher 4th and 5th gear ratios for better fuel economy, and 2LT models get a standard trunk spoiler. Also new: Wintergreen Metallic paint.
CAMARO: Chevrolet re-introduced its classic sports car for 2010, with a strong emphasis on bang-for-buck: The base-model Camaro offers a 300 horsepower direct-fuel-injected 3.6 liter V6, while the Camaro SS comes with a Corvette-sourced 6.2 liter 426 horsepower V8.
COBALT: The sedan version of the hot-rod Cobalt SS is being discontinued after just one year of production. The SS Coupe lives on, and now gets a sunroof and performance computer as standard. LT models have a new MY LINK package that includes a stereo with USB input jack, Bluetooth, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, OnStar and 16" alloy wheels.
COLORADO: Side-curtain airbags are now standard, and the optional 5.3 liter V8 gets variable valve timing.
CORVETTE: All Corvettes get standard side airbags, revised interior console trim, and optional cross-flag embroidery on the seats. 'Vettes with manual transmissions get launch control and convertibles get a Z06-style trunk spoiler. Z06 buyers can now choose any color in the standard Corvette palette, including Torch Red, which returns for 2010. The new Grand Sport edition replaces the Z51 handling package on the base-model (LS3) Corvette. The Grand Sport combines the 430 hp LS3 engine with specific wheels, tires, suspension tuning, wider fenders, and Z06-size brakes with functional brake cooling ducts. Manual transmission Grand Sports get unique gearing while automatics get a specific rear axle ratio, changes which boost 0-60 times by 0.2 seconds compared to the standard LS3.
EQUNOX: The Equinox is all new for 2010, with an emphasis on sharp styling, a quieter ride, and better fuel economy. Power choices consist of a 2.4 liter direct fuel injected four-cylinder engine or an optional 3.0 liter V6, also with direct injection, and Chevy claims that both engines will run up to 500 miles between fill-ups. Features carried over from the old Equinox include a rear seat that slides 8 inches fore-and-aft, allowing owners to maximize rear-seat legroom or cargo space.
HHR: Early reports that the turbocharged HHR SS would get the axe for 2010 were, I am happy to say, wrong; the SS will be back for 2010. The HHR gets a few new paint colors and a new rear-view camera, but is otherwise unchanged.
IMPALA: The V8-powered Impala SS has been discontinued, leaving the 2.5 and 2.9 liter V6s as the sole engine choices.
MALIBU: The four-cylinder engine is now E85 flex-fuel capable, and mid-level LT models get the LTZ's six-speed automatic transmission as standard.
SILVERADO: All V8s (including the Silverado Hybrid) are now flex-fuel capable, and the 4.8 and 5.3 liter engines get variable valve timing. The 5.3 also gets a six-speed automatic and a revised rear axle ratio. All 1500 models get standard electronic stability control, seat-mounted side airbags, and side-curtain airbags. All stereos get a USB port and the backup camera is available on more models.
SUBURBAN: The 6-liter V8 is now flex-fuel capable. 4x4 models get a single-speed transfer case; a low-range transfer case is now an extra-cost option. Stereos gain a USB input port, and option packages have been revised.
TAHOE: The 5.3 liter V8 is now flex-fuel capable; other changes are similar to the SUBURBAN.
TRAILBLAZER: Discontinued.
TRAVERSE: Premium stereos get a USB input jack.
Cadillac: Update, Changes, etc. for the 2010 Model LineCTS SEDAN: A 3-liter direct-injection V6 replaces the indirect-injected 3.6 as the base engine; output is 270 hp and 223 lb-ft, and the engine runs on regular fuel. The 304 hp 3.6 liter direct-injected V6 will continue to be offered as an option. New features include a cabin air filtration system, suede-covered steering wheel and shifter, and optional 19" polished aluminum wheels.
CTS SPORT WAGON: Cadillac has announced a station wagon version of the CTS for 2010. Though slightly shorter than the CTS sedan, the CTS Sport Wagon offers 25 feet of cargo space, accessible through a power-operated liftgate. Like the CTS sedan, the CTS Sport Wagon offers several powertrain choices: 3.0 and 3.6 liter direct-injection V6s offering 270 and 304 hp respectively; rear- or all-wheel-drive; and three levels of suspension, ranging from cushy to sporty.
CTS-V SEDAN: The 556 hp terror returns for 2010, now with an optional wood trim interior package.
DTS: Aside from a couple of new paint colors, the DTS is unchanged for 2010.
ESCALADE: The 6.2 liter V8 now gets an Active Fuel Management system that can shut down four cylinders for increased fuel economy. New side thorax airbags and a revised inner door design provide improved side-impact protection. The clock from the Platinum Edition is now standard in all models, the parking brake release has been revised, and a new battery saver shuts off power when the battery runs low from extended accessory use. The Escalade Hybrid gets flex-fuel (E85) capability and a taller rear-axle ratio for better fuel economy.
SRX: Cadillac's small crossover has been redesigned for 2010. Power comes from a 3.0 liter direct-injection 3-liter V6 producing 265 horsepower, and the new SRX features a Haldex all-wheel-drive system that can transfer up to 100% of the power to the front or rear and an electronic limited-slip rear differential that can deliver up to 85% of rear axle power to one wheel, which Cadillac says improves both traction and handling.
STS: The STS gets two new paint colors, but no other changes.
STS-V: Sadly, the 469 hp supercharged hot-rod STS has been discontinued.
XLR/XLR-V: Cadillac's hardtop-convertible Corvette clone has been discontinued for 2010.

Jimmy Wins, Pepsi 500 at Fontana, Ca
Written by Hendrick Motorsports
Monday, 12 October 2009 07:10
FONTANA, Calif. (Oct. 11, 2009) -- Jimmie Johnson captured the points lead in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings after pacing a race-high 126 laps and winning Sunday's Pepsi 500 at Auto Club Speedway.
But getting to Victory Lane wasn't easy for the defending race winner. Johnson had to outrun teammates Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin on a final restart that occurred with three laps to go. Although his specially-painted No. 48 Lowe's/Jimmie Johnson Foundation Chevrolet handled better on the long runs, Johnson managed to pull away in the short time frame.
"What an awesome car, what an awesome day," said Johnson, who owns a 12-point advantage in the standings. "Those cautions at the end really had me nervous. I didn't know what to do on those restarts. I'm glad I got a good start."
Gordon gave Johnson the most competition during the final restarts and led twice for six laps before crossing the finish line second. This is the eighth time this season Gordon has taken runner-up honors and the third time he has followed a teammate for the checkered flag.
"We were just trying to make it interesting because nobody else seemed to be able to do that for the (No.) 48," said Gordon, who improves two spots to fifth in the standings. "We certainly couldn't on that last run. It was a great day for the DuPont/Pepsi Chevrolet. We fought hard all day to put ourselves in that position. To come home second today is definitely something we're proud of."
Martin started ninth and led five laps early in the race. Previously the points leader, Martin now ranks second in the standings after crossing the finish line fourth behind Johnson. This is Martn's 12th top-five finish of the season.
"I'm real proud of our Kellogg's/CARQUEST Chevrolet and our team," Martin said. "Man, these guys are so awesome. They brought me all weekend a great race car, great job, great adjustments, and we made progress with the racecar. There was a time when we could go out front. We were right there. I'm just proud. I couldn't be more thrilled to be driving that (No.) 5 car."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. climbed from his 37th starting spot and spent most of the day running in the top 10. But misfortune struck with roughly 50 laps to go when Earnhardt's No. 88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevy was collected in an eight-car accident in Turn 1. After a red-flag period, the No. 88 team doctored the Chevy and sent Earnhardt back to the track. He finished 25th.
"We are doing whatever we can to stay positive," Earnhardt said. "We had a top 10 car today and it's unfortunate that a lot of good cars got tore up there at the end."
