Reviews SummaryRodney Dangerfield was a legendary stand-up comedian, and while his on-stage shtick was all about how he didn’t get any respect, as a comedic talent he was held in the highest esteem. That’s not the case for the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. The oft-maligned Malibu literally gets no respect, which is too bad because with its most recent redesign for the 2016 model year, the car absolutely deserves it. | |
Reviews SummaryWhen it was originally unveiled with a 238-mile range, the Chevrolet Bolt EV eliminated most would-be EV owners' greatest concern: range anxiety. So how has Chevrolet improved its electric car? Well, some extendable sun visors to help with heat and a programmable heated steering wheel to combat cold are a good start. | |
