2003 Chicago Show, Part I - The Car Connection
The new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution will be priced at $29,000 when it reaches showrooms later this month, Pierre Gagnon, Mitsubishi North American chief executive officer, told a press conference at the Chicago Auto Show - but "people expected it to be more than $30,000," said Gagnon. The all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, 271-horsepower Evolution is in a class all by itself, he argued: only one other vehicle, the Subaru WRX, which sells for $5000 less, even comes close to the Evolution, he said. Mitsubishi expects to sell 4,500 Evolutions this year and another 6000 next year, he added. With an avalanche of new product for 2004, Chevrolet is trying to position itself once again as "America's favorite brand," says Chevy division manager Kurt Ritter. The tried and true way to do that, Chevy seems to be arguing, is through horsepower. The bowtie's new SS passenger cars bring a whiff of that legendary power back to these venerable nameplates, though this time the power applies to front-drive vehicles. Chevy says the Impala SS and Monte Carlo SS will be out in the 2004 model year with unique wheels and tires, sport trim and independent suspensions, and most important, supercharged 240-hp V-6 engines with 280 lb-ft of torque. Chevrolet expects the vehicles to contribute 30,000 additional units to the brand's sales numbers.
2004 Chicago Auto Show
What better way to avoid the chill of a Midwestern winter than checking out the year's newest cars and trucks in the warm confines of Chicago's McCormick Place. Such is the allure of the annual Chicago Auto Show, an event billed as the largest annual auto show in the country. The rush of new products from General Motors continued in Chicago as Buick, Chevrolet and Pontiac all had new models ready to make their world debuts. Chevrolet and Pontiac revealed new versions of their aging minivans while Buick introduced the all-new LaCrosse sedan that will effectively replace the current Regal and Century four-doors. Ford introduced a new sedan of its own from its Mercury brand. Called the Montego, it's an upscale version of the Ford Five Hundred sedan unveiled in Detroit just a few weeks ago.
GM - GMability Environment: GM Provides E85-Capable Chevrolet ...
CHICAGO (March 24, 2005) - GM today provided an E85-capable Chevrolet Avalanche to the Illinois Corn Growers Association for use in the state as part of a campaign to promote ethanol and E85-capable vehicles in Illinois. The vehicle was presented at an event at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) to mark the launch of the CBOT Ethanol futures contract. As part of the campaign, the Illinois Corn Growers will showcase the E85-capable Chevrolet Avalanche at additional events and in various ways throughout the year. Illinois, the second largest producer of ethanol in the country (behind Iowa), is home to six ethanol plants, which produced 875 million gallons of ethanol from 325 million bushels of corn last year. The Chicago Board of Trade, a leading global futures Exchange established in 1848, collaborated extensively with the ethanol industry to develop the CBOT corn-based Ethanol futures contract. As a result of this collaboration with producers and refiners, the contract was created to provide a transparent price discovery mechanism and an efficient tool for managing price risk within the ethanol market.
