The Chevrolet Volt's Base Price Plummets $5000

Instead of starting at $39995 like the 2013 Volt did, the 2014 Chevrolet Volt will start at $34995 (including an $810 destination freight charge). That represents a $5000 price cut, and it means that you could theoretically get a new Volt for just $27495 once you factor in the $7500 federal tax rebate.

In reality, the 2013 Volt already started at $39495. Chevrolet has been running a $5000 discount for some time to get those cars off dealer lots.

Two new exterior paint colors, Ashen Gray Metallic and Brownstowne Metallic, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are added for the 2014 model year. The Volt is still eligible to drive in HOV lanes in California and New York even if there is only a single occupant.

The Chevrolet Volt's price reduction comes after a series of lease and purchase discounts from other automakers for their EVs, including Nissan, Ford, Honda, and more.

That would be appreciated. Yes, it does have a bibliography, but I'm too lazy to post that on here. Unless it's illegal? Is it?

2003 Honda Odyssey EX-L Review

These pictures aren't of the actual vehicle, but the colors and trim level are correct. Those of you who have been following this blog since its inception know that my parents have two cars: a 2006 Nissan Sentra and a 2005 Mazda MPV. Well, we recently swapped our dear little MPV for a 2003 Odyssey. The reason for that is, well, there isn't much reason. It's mostly to spice things up in our lives and have a different car for a change without spending any extra money. Our Odyssey came with every bell and whistle you could get in a minivan in 2003, including a factory-installed DVD entertainment system, leather seats, heated seats in the front, and dual power sliding doors. First impressions were a mixed bag. The engine was very smooth, quiet, and powerful, apparently typical of Hondas, but there was a rough patch between 1000 and 1500 RPM or so. You can't feel the road textures at all while driving the car, but it crashed loudly over larger bumps. Loud can als...

Big News: We Bought a New Car!

It is an exciting day for me! As the title says, my family bought a new car! We haven't done that since 10 years ago when we bought our 2006 Nissan Sentra. There it is, parked on the driveway right after we drove home from the dealership. Isn't the color so nice? The interior is beige, too! It's the perfect color combination. Getting that car to be on our driveway, though, was a laborious and drawn-out task. We started car-shopping yesterday morning, when my dad and I test drove the Camry and Accord. At first, we headed for the Ford dealer intending to test drive the Taurus and Fusion, but it shunned us by saying that it was "too busy for test drives." There were maybe two other people at the dealership then. Whatever. We then headed to a semi-rural Honda dealership in search of an Accord. I was expecting it to be loud and firm-riding in traditional Honda fashion. Instead, it impressed me with its solidity. Unfortunately, the specific Accord ...

2003 Honda Odyssey Long Term Update w/ Mega Gallery

June 2015 in Acadia NP What an exciting time! The Odyssey has surpassed its 200k birthday! Okay, it actually hit 200,000 miles in May. I "didn't have the time" to write about it. Now, though, I'm home in Texas on summer vacation just back from a trip to Maine with Daddy-o driving the Odyssey. I literally have all day to write this review. I'm going to split it up in four sections. First comes how the van drives and rides. Then follows an examination of the interior, what we've done with the car, and finally how the car has held up over the 70,000+ miles my family has driven it. I've actually already reviewed this car back when we bought it in 2012. For that review, click the link right here .
