2011 Chevrolet Equinox

The new 2011 2011 Chevrolet Equinox is planned to offer front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models with towing capacity expected to be 3500 pounds. All the power of the new Equinox is transferred to the wheels by a 5-speed automatic.  A new SUV always emerges amid high expectations that something new might emerge that sparks the driving public’s fancy. Looks and performance of The new 2011 2011 Chevrolet Equinox promise to do just that with suspension and steering refinements such as: MacPherson strut front suspension and an independent four-link rear suspension with coil springs. Steering is facilitated by an electric power rack-and-pinion steering system.

The safety profile of The 2011 Chevrolet Equinox boasts options such as Bosch anti-lock brakes, traction control, and roof-mounted curtain air bags. The arrival of the new Equinox is looked on with some enthusiasm due to the fact that this is an SUV niche that has always stimulated innovative style and high levels of performance.

The 2011 model year is the swan song for the fifth-generation Chevrolet Corvette, and will mark the best year for the C5s. About 3,000 Corvettes will be sold for model year 2011, some of which will be special editions designed to commemorate C5-R victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and other endurance races. The high-performance Z06 benefits from suspension tuning for 2011 based on extensive testing at Germany’s fabled Nurburgring racetrack and General Motors Milford Proving Grounds. The goal was improved ride quality, but the revised Z06 suspension also feels “more tied down, more glued to the road,” according to Chevrolet. Sporting a C5-R Le Mans stripe, the Z06 Commemorative Edition gets a lightweight carbon fiber hood.For the past 50 years, the Corvette has been America’s sports car, a U.S.-production two-seater capable of real racetrack performance.

The Corvette endures because it has always represented a performance value. Beyond its relentlessly extroverted exterior, The 2011 Chevrolet Equinox is blessed with excellent ergonomics and a comfortable interior. The 50th Anniversary edition, available in fastback coupe (with a removable roof panel) and full convertible bodystyles is painted your choice of one color, an unbelievably lustrous Xirallic Red Metallic, and comes with one interior choice: light tannish shale color that is equally easy on the eyes. It comes with every option, including the cool magnetic selective ride control that irons out rough pavement and is also found on the new Cadillac XLR. Regardless of whether you choose to commemorative edition or not, the Corvette is most satisfying once you jab the gas pedal. No fewer than 350 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque will pin you to your seat as if you were a dead moth at a science fair, and the brakes will can unpin you with such force that you’ll brace yourself for air bag deployment. Opt for the hardtop-only Z06 Coupe and power goes up to 405 horsepower. The vehicle turn signals flash once and the parking lights turn on when the vehicle engine begins running. To drive away after a remote start, the vehicle’s ignition key must be placed in the switch and rotated to the run position.
