Chevrolet Reveals the 2014 Corvette Logo
Chevrolet said it will unveil its 2014 Corvette sports car Sunday evening, Jan. 13, during press previews for the Detroit auto show.
While the company is not yet showing pictures to hint at the car’s design, it did reveal its crossed-flag logo, which it redesigned for the seventh-generation “Vette.”
The coming model, also called the C7, is expected to have a sharper, more modern exterior design, but the biggest changes are likely to appear in its cabin.
The Corvette has long been regarded as the equal of many exotic European sports cars in performance, but not interior décor. Indeed, much of current and past Corvette’s interior looks like it was borrowed from rental cars. People familiar with the next Corvette’s design say the interior is much-improved.
For now, all we have to go on is the logo. The crossed flags (one black and white checkered flag and a red Chevrolet flag) have adorned the Corvette since its 1953 debut. Its design has evolved over the years. Chevrolet said the new design has a “more technical, more angular and more swept appearance – in proportion that symbolizes the new car.”
The General Motors Co. unit said it considered more than 100 versions before deciding on the final one.
Interestingly, the first Corvette concept car, shown in New York on Jan. 17, 1953, featured an emblem with a checkered flag crossed with an American flag. Because such commercial use of the stars and stripes was prohibited, Chevy changed the logo to the fleur-de-lis/bowtie design for the production car.

Chevrolet Shares Glimpse of 2014 Silverado Truck
Chevrolet said it will unveil its redesigned Silverado 1500 full-size pickup truck on Dec. 13 at a special event in Detroit area. The General Motors Co. unit said the new model will have a “bold exterior design” that “reflects the enhanced capabilities of the truck.”
The company released a teaser image that hints at the new design, suggesting that like its rivals teh Ford F-150 and Chrysler’s Ram 1500, the Silverado will have more chrome “jewelry” adorning its front end.
The new Silverado’s first public display will take place at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. The truck will begin production next year.

2013 Chevrolet Spark Test Drive
Chevy’s sprightly minicar, the Spark, is a big seller around the globe, but it wasn’t developed with North America in mind. The "old" GM might have shipped the Korean-made tyke over to our shores and hoped for the best. Thankfully for us, the GM of today unleashed a squadron of homeland Detroit engineers onto the Spark to modify and improve the little machine for the U.S.
Under that short hood is an 84-hp, 1.25-liter four-cylinder. That’s .5-liter more than Sparks have in other markets. "The real goal there was to get a flatter, more useable torque curve out of the engine," ride and handling engineer Nathan Sumner says. The team at GM also retuned the intake manifold and the whole exhaust system to give our Spark a sportier sound and optimized the gear ratios in both the five-speed manual and the four-speed automatic with unique gearing for the U.S. market.The original Spark was a soft rider and not what you’d describe as a fun machine when the road twists. To impart a livelier feel, Sumner’s colleagues lowered the car by 10 mm and retuned the suspension bushings and shocks. Anyone who’s spent time in a Smart ForTwo knows how unsettled that car feels at highway speeds. Sumner didn’t want that to be the Spark’s Achilles’ heel, so he minimized the nervousness on the highway by first adding 15-inch wheels and improved tires, then fine-tuning the suspension. "Just a small tweak will make all the difference in the world," Sumner says. "I made one little change to the rear damper tuning, and it just calmed the whole car down. It’s really kind of a black art sometimes, finding just the right balance."
The American Spark also comes with an electronic power-steering system. It provides variable assist based on speed, so the driver can dial in a lighter feel around town and more heft through the wheel as the Spark piles on speed. "When you increase the effort at highways speeds, it makes the car much more stable and less twitchy," Sumner says. GM says it improved the door seals, baffles, carpeting, engine acoustics, and wipers to make the Spark a quieter place to spend time. And the U.S. team enhanced the bodywork for aero. Lowering the Spark and making tweaks such as changing the mirrors gained a little by way of mileage. Sparks equipped with a manual transmission return 34 mpg combined—not exactly hybrid-level fuel sipping but not too shabby. On the inside, the Spark has 10 airbags as well as a rollover sensing system. A gauge pod reminiscent of the Sonic, the Spark’s bigger brother, sits up front with a large LCD screen in the dash for infotainment. The rear seat on global Sparks seats three people. But that middle seat was deemed too narrow for American posteriors, so a handy console resides in its place, making the car a four-seater. There’s 11.4 cubic feet behind that rear seat and a solid 31.2 cubic feet with the rear seat folded.Bottom Line: The Spark is clearly the most practical minicar in the segment. It conveys a sense of lighthearted fun as you slice though city traffic. Compared with Chevy’s larger Sonic, the Spark is clearly a level down in terms of ride, handling, isolation, and power. But for less than $13,000, the Spark is a solid deal.
