Your Chevrolet Dealership in Glenwood Springs, Vista Chevrolet, is very honored to have such a faithful and forgiving customers.  For, without you, we would not be here to help you find a Chevrolet for sale in Glenwood Springs.  Here we would like to show the commercial that GM came out with to say “thank you” nationwide.

General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) launched a new commercial on Thanksgiving Day last year that had a theme called “We all fall down.” Towards the end of the ad, it says “Thank you for helping us get back up.” GM has its fair share of critics and cheerleaders. Some people are outraged by the bail-out and some people are gung-ho about it. Personally I like it when large companies that provide jobs to a lot of American workers make a come-back.

GM’s ad that ran on Thanksgiving day thanking American taxpayers was exactly how you do a touching corporate commercial. No folksy-sounding CEO making ridiculous claims they’ve paid back taxpayers. No images of the Chevy Volt and trees. Just “Animal House” and Popeye.

The ad, entitled “Comeback,” is a 60 second commercial with no voiceover, featuring back to back serious and comic images of failure on screen followed by images of recovery, or comeback. The ad closes with the words: “We all fall down. Thank you for helping us get back up,” which to me was very effective by touching our emotions, helping us feel a part of their unfortunate times, and making us proud for helping a long standing American company recover and produce more jobs for our citizens.

The commercial reminded me that we all face failure from time to time, but, with the support of family & friends, and the drive to get back up, we will live to see another day – hopefully a successful one.

Your Glenwood Springs Chevrolet dealer, Vista Chevrolet, is happy to share that Chevrolet is dusting off the spider webs of its fastest Camaro ever built, and giving it new life!  We all love the thrill of riding on/in something fast; this is the car that will give you the ride of your life!

The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was a performance monster, featuring an all-aluminum engine displacing 427 cubic inches that was originally intended for racing. Just 69 units were built, and they are highly coveted by collectors today. Perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that Chevrolet chose to resurrect this classic moniker for what it is calling the fastest and most technologically advanced Camaro ever built.

At this point, specifications are still preliminary, but Chevrolet is estimating that its supercharged and intercooled 6.2-liter LSA V8 engine will put out around 550 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. Those ponies will be sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission using a dual-disc clutch that’s necessary to properly harness all those horses. There’s also a dual-mode exhaust system that alters the sound level and character in response to engine rpm.  This will make the 2011 Camaro look like a turtle next to a rabbit!

Chevrolet tells us that its goal was to build “a Camaro intended to reach optimal lap times on top road-racing circuits and excellent driving dynamics on the street.” To that end, the 2012 Camaro ZL1 will be fitted with a new electric power steering system and Magnetic Ride Control that will offer both Tour and Sport modes.

Naturally, there’s an updated body kit to differentiate the ZL1 from lesser machines. Most notable are the redesigned fascia that features a front splitter, vertical fog lamps and air intakes designed for brake cooling. There’s also a new aluminum hood with a raised, satin black-finish carbon fiber insert that uses a unique air extractor that is said to increase downforce by directing oncoming air over the car. There’s also a spoiler at the rear of the car and new 20-inch aluminum wheels fitted with specially developed Goodyear Supercar F2 tires.

Chevrolet promises to have the Camaro ZL1 on dealer lots in the beginning of 2012; and we will let you know as soon as it arrives!

 Vista Chevrolet, your Glenwood Springs Chevrolet Dealer, has some very exciting news to share with you.

General Motors has officially yanked back the sheets on the newest sub-compact from Chevrolet, the 2012 Sonic. Just don’t call it the Aveo.  The five-door hatch and four-door sedan are set to be officially unveiled later today, but the Bow Tie brand has been kind enough to share the skinny on this vehicle that’s supposed to tango with the likes of the new Hyundai Elantra and the Ford Fiesta. The Sonic will be available with a standard 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, though buyers can opt up for a turbocharged 1.4-liter producing 138 horsepower, which GM underscores is 18 ponies more than the Fiesta. Shifting duties are handled by either a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic gearbox.

GM also put plenty of effort into the suspension by tasking the geometry gurus responsible for the Corvette’s mighty grip. Up front, the Sonic benefits from a MacPherson strut design, while a torsion beam handles suspension duties out back.

There’s also plenty design-wise to differentiate the Sonic from its homely predecessor, including a more aggressive front fascia with massive headlight arrays. Judging from the photos, the biggest changes are indoors, where a stylish cockpit replaces the bland, bargain plastics of the Aveo.

“The all-new Chevrolet Sonic blends the practicality of a small car with the passion for driving that Chevrolet vehicles like the Corvette are known for,” said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet marketing. “Its combination of great design, fun driving experience and the latest connectivity features create a serious competitor with a fun spirit.”

“Chevrolet is the only company building a small car in the United States,” said Perry. “We believe the Sonic will bring substance to the segment, with progressive styling, performance and value that will change perceptions of what a small car can be in America.”
