With import spots like Hyundai Kia Green Bay popping up across the nation, the competition in the automotive industry is tighter and more fierce than ever.  You can visit your local Volkswagen Dealer to check out some German auto styles; the Passat and Jetta are hugely popular in the United States.  And while Saturn sales in the United States are not doing the best they ever have, you can still get your car taken care of at Jersey City Saturn Service.  For those of you who are trying to solely support the American economy, you should familiarize yourself with the American auto makers; General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford.  What is interesting is the brands that our Baby Boomer generation might be familiar with and recognize as All-American (Mercury, Lincoln, Cadillac) still retain their All-American founding; now they are subsidiaries of the three auto giants that call America home base.

General Motors, aka GM, originated in 1908 and its headquarters are in Detroit.  GM currently does business on a global scale with its products sold in 34 countries.  It is interesting to note though that it has business partnerships in 140 countries.  You may recognize some of the GM brands and be interested to know that they are all part of the family; in alphabetical order, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, GM Daewoo, Holden, Opel, Vauxhall, and Wuling.

Chrysler is officially known as Chrysler Group LLC, and is composed of Chrysler and Fiat.  Under the Chrysler umbrella consumers will find Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles.  Under the Fiat umbrella you will find Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Fiat, Lancia, and Maserati.

Ford Motor Company is based out of Dearborn, Michigan.  Their vehicles are manufactured and produced on six continents, and there are 80 manufacturing plants globally.  Under the Ford umbrella are the brand names Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and Volvo.

While being appraised for its great qualities, consumers cannot deny that despite the low fuel-economy for its class, the Chevy Tahoe still has been known to be gas-thirsty and hard to maneuvar even with its great handling abilities. This SUV is not for the faint-hearted and it is most definitely not suitable for someone who cannot control the vehicle but instead let the vehicle control them.

Above all, the Chevy Tahoe has made a name for itself. With every Tahoe that drives by, and one that drives off the lot is sure to show that just like with nearly all Chevy’s, this one is no different in its quality and reputation.

Why is that?

With its competitive fuel economy, good handling, and quality entertaining accessories including the stereo system it has been voted a great vehicle. Yet with its small size and questonable exterior style it has driven away some customers and even more family-oriented consumers who are looking for reliability.

The Chevy Cobalt is a relatively nice car, for the average teenager or young adult. It does not however seem to fit into what an average adult would need when it comes to his or her family and kids. I would imagine the close-seating would induce quite a bit of sibling squabbles as well.

When it comes to family, this car is not equipped. Yet for safety it does excel. With the front driver and front passenger air-bags it as well as anti-lock brakes it provides a comfort that is alien in most vehicles.

The Chevy Cobalt overall is a rather mediocre vehicle, that does not provide many special qualities. Yet what it does have, can be appreciated.

Unfortunately enough, as much as Chevy’s consumers love to brag on this truck. It doesn’t offer as much as other competitors trucks such as the Ford F-150 that you can find at any Beechmont Ford Dealer, or the Dodge Ram. However, not all truck-buyers agree that they want all the customizations and flamboyant details that other truck companies get into. They want a truck. In that case, the Silverado is the truck for you. With an overall 9.0 on performance at U.S. News scores, it has proven its worth in the pick-up truck world and that seems to be enough to loyal Chevy-buyers who have silently agreed to stick with the Chevy Silverado until something better comes along, if that happens to be proven possible.
