Chevy Ending Production of The Avalanche

After an 11-year run for Chevrolet's crew-cab pickup the 2013 Avalanche marks the last of the Avalanche line-up, but Chevrolet is making sure it goes out with a bang with the Black Diamond model!

The Chicago Tribune writes:

Chevrolet is ending production of its Avalanche pickup truck after model-year 2013 and releasing one last edition to celebrate. The model's swan song is the Black Diamond Avalanche, which features body-colored bed surrounds and a unique badge on the sail panel. The model caps an 11-year run for Chevrolet's crew-cab pickup.

Along with the Black Diamond additions, a backup camera, rear park assist, power-adjustable pedals, fog lamps and remote start will be added as standard equipment on model-year 2013 LS models. LT models also get a standard backup camera this year. According to Chevrolet, base prices also have been reduced by $2,500 with the two-wheel-drive Avalanche LS now starting at $35,980, plus a $995 destination charge.

What is Horsepower?

HowStuffWorks gives us an inside look of what horsepower really is and how it works.Chances are you've heard about horsepower. Just about every car ad on TV mentions it, people talking about their cars bandy the word about and even most lawn mowers have a big sticker on them to tell you the horsepower rating.

What is horsepower, and what does the horsepower rating mean in terms of performance? In this article, you'll learn exactly what horsepower is and how you can apply it to your everyday life.

The term horsepower was invented by the engineer James Watt. Watt lived from 1736 to 1819 and is most famous for his work on improving the performance of steam engines. We are also reminded of him every day when we talk about 60-watt light bulbs.

Kia Soul Has "All That" and More

The “peppy” and “zippy” Kia Soul is four years in production this year, and jsonline says it hasn’t lost its appeal yet!


JSOnline Writes:

Kia's youthful and useful Soul joined the small boxy car market four years ago and, amazingly, it seems no less hip today.

The car's rear sloping roofline and funky colors make it stand out from the other practical small hatches. My test drive was a "Moss" metallic greenish brown.

There are three Souls. The base starts at $13,900, the Soul+ starts at $16,300, and the tested Soul! starts at $19,600. The test car added no options, just the $750 delivery cost, to reach $20,350.

The price has crept up a bit in the past four years, but then so has the horsepower. The Soul!'s zippy and quiet 2.0-liter CVVT I4 pumps out 164 horsepower, up 22 horses from the previous model. Plus the Soul! now features a six-speed automatic with Active Eco system as standard. A four-speed automatic was the norm in the first-year Soul.

The base Soul still comes with a 138-horse 1.6-liter I4, but the + and ! models include the 164-horse engine. It certainly moves the 2,778-lb. Soul to normal driving speeds, or highway speed, in short order. I was impressed with how quick and nimble the car is.
