Chevrolet Introduces All-New 2021 Tahoe and Suburban
Transformed to offer more of the people- and cargo-hauling capabilities that have distinguished the industry’s best-selling full-size SUVs for generations. Chevrolet’s iconic people and cargo haulers begin a new chapter today with the introduction of the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban. Each has been redesigned to be the ultimate SUV – offering the most interior space of any SUV, exclusive technologies and features, and the best driving dynamics in the full-size segment.
“There are no vehicles like Tahoe and Suburban – which have starred in Hollywood movies, carried military heroes and world leaders, and helped create countless family memories,” said Barry Engle, executive vice president and president, General Motors North America. “We’ve taken what people love about these pioneering SUVs and made them even better – adding more room for people and cargo, more advanced technology and unrivaled driving experience.” Read the rest of this entry »

As any driver who ever lived in an area with cold winters will tell you, for a few months every year, the car’s heater is just as important as any other part of the vehicle. Not only is it uncomfortable and unhealthy to drive in cold temperatures, but it also keeps your windows icy and difficult to see through. Here are some tips on how to have your heater working as well as possible throughout the winter. Read the rest of this entry »
Chevrolet Surburban First Vehicle to Receive Award of Excellence Star at Hollywood & Highland
Iconic vehicle starred in more than 1,750 films and television series since 1952
“For six decades the Chevrolet Suburban has been Hollywood’s longest-working actor,” said Rana Ghadban, president and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. “Appearing in classic feature films and on must-see television shows, the Suburban is a well-established industry mainstay. With the Chevrolet Tahoe also making an impact in movies and on television, it’s impressive to have both vehicles now join an illustrious group of actors and characters that are forever known as Hollywood legends.”
During its acting career the Suburban evolved to become the ultimate character actor, able to play the hero, the villain, or the family alike.
“There’s really nothing else like the Chevrolet Suburban in this business, for two reasons,” said Dennis McCarthy, Hollywood picture car coordinator. “First, it’s one of the most versatile vehicles in the business, able to fit with any type of character. Second, it can help instantly give a scene added importance. When a convoy of black Suburbans appears on screen, you know that’s not the time to leave your seat to buy popcorn.”
The relationship between the Chevy Suburban and Hollywood began in 1952, when it first appeared on the silver screen. Since then, Suburban has starred in more than 1,750 films and television series. It has appeared in at least one television series every year since 1956, and at least one film every year since 1960. Suburban has also appeared in more than 30 award-nominated films.
The filmography is even more impressive when combined with the Chevy Tahoe. Together, Tahoe and Suburban have appeared in more than 2,500 films and television shows. Since the Tahoe was introduced in 1995, it has appeared in at least one film and television show every year.
According to Tim Kozub, design manager for Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, their on-screen persona also influenced the all-new Suburban and Tahoe, which will be unveiled later this month: “This is a great example of how life and art influence each other. The popularity of Suburban and Tahoe in film was first inspired by the real-life roles they played in the military, in law enforcement and family trips around the world. Today, their role in Hollywood inspired the design of the all-new models, as we integrated the sense of capability, action, and importance associated with Suburban and Tahoe on screen.”
Santa Claus is coming to town and beginning Dec. 24, children whose families have Chevrolet vehicles equipped with an active OnStar plan can find out the location of his sleigh with a simple push of the blue OnStar1 button.

Living in an area with cold and snowy winters can take a massive toll on your car. Different temperatures, precipitations, and chemicals used to melt the ice on the road can shorten your car’s lifespan by affecting the paint, windows, wheels, and more. Luckily, however, with a bit of preparation, your car will get through the winter just fine and look just as good in March as it did in October. Here are the main exterior parts that need to be prepared for the winter.
The Car’s Body
The car’s paint is usually the most affected after a long winter. The main reason for that is the salt that is commonly used to de-ice the roads, which can also ruin your car’s color. Luckily there are ways in which you can protect the paint, such as applying a paint coating. It will last up to two years and protect the paint job without any additional maintenance when applied properly. The only downside is if you want the paint coating to work as it should, the body needs to be prepared and polished beforehand.
A quick and easy alternative is using synthetic paint sealants. They last up to half a year, so applying a coating of paint sealant before winter will be enough, and they are much easier to apply than paint coating. Read the rest of this entry »
