Chevrolet Automobiles

The Bottom Line: The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro LT is largely about style, although it isn't bad on the performance side. For cabin tech, only a few essentials are available.

Specs: Coupe, LS, Gas

The Bottom Line: In this touring configuration, the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is an easy car to drive in almost any situation, with monstrous power on tap, but the cabin tech feels like a mishmash of components.

The Bottom Line: The 2009 Chevrolet Traverse is a big family hauler with a few modern features. It shows a good direction for Chevrolet, but hasn't quite caught up with the rest of the world.

Specs: SUV, LTZ, Gas

The Bottom Line: The 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS delivers an excellent sport-driving experience, but can work as an economy commuter when driven more carefully, with the added pleasure of full iPod connectivity.

Specs: Sedan, SS, Gas

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ isn't a driver's car, but offers a comfortable cabin for the daily commute or shopping trips. Its cabin tech is largely unremarkable.

Specs: Sedan, LTZ, Gas

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid, while very inexpensive, doesn't get much value from its hybrid system, and its cabin tech is only a little better than average.

The Bottom Line: With performance similar to an Ferrari F430 but less cabin luxury, the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 could be termed a poor man's Ferrari--if a poor man had $77,230 to spend.

The Bottom Line: Although we aren't crazy about the exterior of the 2007 Chevrolet HHR, we give it credit for making a strong statement. The car is meant for cruising, not for speed, and although it has a full range of tech gear, we don't find OnStar as convenient as onboard systems.

Specs: Wagon, Panel LT, Gas

The Bottom Line: The 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 delivers remarkable performance while still offering useful cabin technology. It's a car that can be easily driven around the city and opened up for a thrilling ride on highways.

Specs: coupe, Z06, Gas

The Bottom Line: The 2006 Chevrolet Impala LTZ makes for a comfortable commuter and gives occupants a little low-priced luxury, but average fuel economy will pinch pocketbooks for longer drives.
