Did you watch "The Sopranos" when it was on HBO a few years back? Well, Chevrolet partnered with the creator and director of the show David Chase to create a 60 second Superbowl commercial. The ad, called "New Generation," aired during the first quarter of the game without any previews from GM beforehand. The commercial includes many of the same spots as the original introduction. However, instead of Tony Soprano driving a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban, it's the mob boss's daughter Meadow, played by Jamie Lynn Siegler, and she drives a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV. You can watch a side-by-side comparison below. more The spot features the original theme song of the show, "woke Up This Morning" by Alabama 3. It ends with the reunion of Meadow and her brother A.J., played by Robert Iler. They hug, and the voiceover says, "The first-ever, all-electric Chevy Silverado. A whole new truck for a whole new generation." A lot has changed since the show aired from 1999-to 2007. To put how fast Electric Vehicles have grown, the first Tesla wasn't produced until 2008. It is crazy to think how fast technology has evolved in just a little over a decade. While I personally would love to see a show about mobsters driving around in electric vehicles it may be something relegated to Super Bowl commercials and our imaginations for the time being. Chevrolet hasn't had a Super Bowl commercial since 2015. This ad was one of two that were aired this year. The second was a broader brand-focused ad that featured Dr. Evil, played by Mike Myers. I find it a little strange that the same man/organization that invested heavily into Starbucks would also be dabbling in electric vehicles, but what do I know? Here is that spot if you want to watch it.

The first thing you should do to avoid a blowout is checking your tire pressure. Low tire pressure or incorrect tire pressure is the top cause of tire blowouts. Most new cars now have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that will warn you if the pressure in your tires is too low. You should still check your tires for low pressure, especially during colder months when temperatures drop. In addition, you should replace worn tires and tires that have required patches in the past. It’s never a good idea to keep driving on old, worn tires, especially if the treads are worn down. You should be able to place a penny in between the treads to check if they’re worn down. If you can see Lincoln’s head after placing the penny, then you need to replace your tires soon. more Some tires do come with tread indicators that will tell you when to replace your tires as well. Do you need new tires? Stop by our Fort Payne, AL location and see the friendly tire service team at Donohoo Chevrolet. We can help diagnose any tire issues you have and find a new set of tires that will last for up to 10 years.

The frustration of finding a new Chevrolet in the model and trim you want is hard for many of you. And then, finding suitable options and colors gets even more challenging. Finally, finding a dealer that will offer a reasonable price even if you find the vehicle you want is difficult and potentially strike three. Rather than wait and keep trying month after month, perhaps it is time to consider ordering the vehicle you want. Let's walk through some Chevrolet models, and we will give you some considerations on ordering them and tell you where they are made. First, the MSRP of the vehicle is subject to change if you want to reserve one that is on order but not ordered specifically in your name. If Chevrolet increases the MSRP before the vehicle is built and invoiced to us, it gets the new MSRP even if it was ordered before the price change. On the other hand, if we order the vehicle in your name (this is also called a sold order), the MSRP is locked from the date of the order. Secondly, when we place an order with your exact build, the time it takes to get built is compressed as Chevrolet will place a higher priority on sold orders. Another advantage of sold orders is the ability to get your rebates in the current month protected for when the vehicle lands. So rebates like Conquest, Costco, customer cash, etc. can be locked in. And the great part of it is that if the rebates are better when the vehicle gets here, you can use those rebates instead! This rebate protection program runs through 1/31/22, and it has been going for a while, but the program is month to month at the discretion of Chevrolet. We, unfortunately, cannot lock in finance terms or incentives. more Chevrolet encourages dealers to sell more vehicles by rewarding them with more allocation to build new units. Basically, if you sell more, you earn more. That is why we continue to be aggressive on price and offer our customers a transparent sales process. We know that this shortage isn't forever, and our aggressive pricing strategy is a long-term strategy to earn more new vehicles. CAMARO We have lots of Camaros on the way, but all of them are sold. The good news is that we should see strong replenishments within the next month (February or March). As one of the nation's top sellers of ZL1 Camaros, we will have a larger allocation than most. That means getting your order in with us will lead to you getting your Camaro before someone who reserves theirs from another dealership. A great alternative option is the 1LZ, otherwise known as the LT1 trim. That is an 8-cylinder Camaro without many bells and whistles but has an excellent price. Sold order pricing through 2/28/22 is $250 off MSRP before applying rebates. This vehicle is made in Michigan, so it shouldn't take long to get to us once built. Shop On Order Camaros EQUINOX If you want a neat-looking Equinox, the new RS trim is sharp. We have several of these coming. But, if you want an LS, LT, or Premier, those can be ordered. Unfortunately, Chevrolet has reduced manufacturing of those trims, and nationwide supply is abysmal. Sold order pricing through 2/28/22 is $2,000 off MSRP before applying rebates. These are made both in Canada and Mexico, and they are pretty quick to get to us once built. Over the past year or two, the biggest issue has been Chevrolet diverting microchips to more profitable models and limiting the production of the Equinox. This year, we hope that Chevrolet solves that problem, and Equinox should see greater availability. Shop On Order Equinox BLAZER Blazer has been another victim of chip supply issues. These are built in Mexico and get to us quickly once built. Like the Equinox, we offer $2,000 off MSRP for sold order pricing before applying any rebates. Shop On Order Blazers SILVERADO, SUBURBAN, AND TAHOE Silverado HD, especially crew cabs, is an area where we can order exceptional numbers. We are massive volume sellers of HDs. Likewise, we sell high volumes of the Silverado 1500 crew cabs. And we are far and away the top-selling Tahoe dealer in Alabama and rank in the top 1% of all Chevrolet dealers nationwide. The Tahoe and Suburban are made in Arlington, TX, and they have a short turnaround from manufacture date to delivery. The Silverado HDs are made in Oshawa, Canada, and Flint, MI, while the Silverado LDs are made in Mexico, Fort Wayne, IN, and soon in Oshawa, Canada. So they don't take too long to get to us at regular times. Silverado HDs Silverado 1500s Tahoes Suburbans COLORADO We anticipate some decent Colorado quantity to order over the next two months, so reach out to us on ordering these. The national supply of Colorados is limited, so ordering is a good option. Additionally, they are made near St Louis, MO, in Wentzville and have a very fast turnaround. Shop On Order Colorados TRAVERSE Traverse has been a victim of the chip crisis, as the quantity built has not kept up with demand. These are made in Lansing, MI, and like the Colorado arrive quickly once built. We do have the allocation for sold orders, so reach out to us to order one. Shop On Order Traverses TRAILBLAZER AND TRAX Like all of Chevrolet's lower profit vehicles, the Trailblazer and Trax have been victims of reduced production. As a result, we cannot place an order for a customer and only get what Chevrolet allows us. Unlike other vehicles, where we can specifically build what we want, the units are made in South Korea and only what Chevrolet has available parts for. They are shipped by boat to ports in the United States, and then we get them sent to us. You can reach out to us about what you are looking for, and we can monitor what is being built to see if it is a match. On Order Trailblazer On Order Trax SPARK The Spark is also built in South Korea, but these have not been allocated to dealers in months. The Spark is not a higher priority for Chevrolet given its low profitability for GM. It will be discontinued after the 2022 model year. We expect to get some allocation before production is terminated, so if you are interested, let us know quickly. Learn More About The Spark MALIBU If you have been shopping for a Malibu recently, you know how hard they are to find. The Kansas City plant that builds them has been mostly idle during the pandemic and has recently started ramping back up. Supply is coming back in light quantities, so if you want one, reach out to us. Shop On Order Malibu BOLT EV/EUV We have lots of these on order, but we are still waiting on production to get started with the battery recall consuming so much capacity on batteries. Still, let us know if you have a specific order, you would like, and we can be on the watch for the ability to order it. Shop Bolt EVs Shop Bolt EUVs

It is official. There will be no more Sparks built after August 2022. Your last chance to get your desired order for a Spark will be in early June 2022. So, for those Spark fans out there, please reach out to us to get one of the last Sparks built. We know many readers read this and either roll their eyes or make a funny face. And, yes, we know the true fans of the Spark are limited – otherwise, why would it be getting canceled by Chevrolet. The Spark indeed was fun in our ordering discussions – which are sometimes a grind through the minutia of options and packages and black, white, and silver colors that provide the color in a black and white movie. Through the years, some of the colors have included Caribbean Blue, Toasted Marshmallow, Passion Fruit Metallic, Orange Burst Metallic, Raspberry Metallic, Mystic Blue, and Cayenne Orange. It was like picking out your own customized Skittles bag to place on the lot. more My favorite Spark is the Special Edition with the two-tone roof. Our sales staff mocked me for ordering the Special Edition, claiming that it looked like protective wrapping on the roof, bumper, and side mirrors that had not been removed. I personally liked the look. Much to the amazement of others, it sold. And quickly. Of course, it was during the pandemic when vehicles were hard to find, and a new vehicle with a sticker price of $17,990 was quite rare. Here is a picture of it. Do you like it as much as I do, or will you join the chorus of doubters? If you reach out to us in time, we can order this Spark for you. And we will sell it for $100 under MSRP, a pretty great deal for someone looking to buy a new vehicle to get around town and with good gas mileage. One of our managers joked that I would order a $39,995 MSRP Spark Special Edition V6 with Super Cruise and panoramic roof to memorialize my Spark obsession for the final order. (Don't be silly, I wouldn't leave off the spoiler wing.) If you would like an absurdly expensive Spark, the best I could do is a 2LT for $23,335. Here is a breakdown: $395 - Additional add for the Nitro Yellow color. $590 - Driver Confidence Package + Winter/Summer Floor Mats Package $1,100 - How about 15-inch wheels and red wheel inserts for $1,100? $1,000 - The sunroof (not panoramic but does have tilt and slide features with express-open and close that also includes dual reading lamps). $75 - A windshield and outside mirror cover protect this unique piece with SPARK across the cover. $235 - Chrome bodyside moldings to create style. $195 - Black bowties to show this vehicle is tough $75 - Wheel lock kit because you know someone wants to steal those 15s. $75 - Smoker's package for $75 because movie stars in old movies looked cool $155 - Sport pedal kit to give it the proper racing look $85 - Aluminum sill plates because I don't want scratches and scrapes $85 - All-weather cargo mat in case your groceries leak through the bag on the way home $75 - Cargo net, so said leaking groceries won't fall onto you when you open the hatchback That is everything. You have it all. Oh, I almost forgot. $100 - Engine Block heaters are not just for bad boy HD diesel trucks. All joking aside, in today's market with prices super high for everything, Chevrolet could sell A LOT OF SPARKS. But, of course, Chevrolet would likely lose money hand over fist by not devoting those precious semiconductor chips to more profitable vehicles like trucks and full-size SUVs. Spark, I will miss you for all of the fun you've created for us in ordering you. All of the bright colors you contributed to making our dealership's lot, mostly filled with black, silver, and white vehicles, look more exciting. I will miss you for the excited customer that bought a new car that may not have been able to afford one otherwise. Those customers loved buying you as much as some of those Corvette buyers loved buying the Corvettes, and you will be missed.

We attempted to make shopping our On-Order page as easy as possible. This post will walk you through the basics and give you some simple how-to-search suggestions to make your life easier. So let's dive into it. We designed our On-Order page because inventory shortages have forced us to sell out of our scheduled inventory that has not been built yet. As a result, we know the vehicle's exact exterior color, interior color, engine, transmission, options, and so forth. The only things we don't know are things that are designated once the vehicle has been built, namely the VIN and MSRP. Those two items are pretty essential to advertise a car on our website, so we had to get a little creative. Our On Order page is that workaround. more For example, you are shopping for a Silverado 1500 High Country with Super Cruise. You notice that we don't have what you want on our traditional inventory pages, so you follow the link to our On Order page. From here, you can click the type of inventory you are shopping for. Since this example is for Silverado 1500s, you will click the Silverado 1500 On Order page. That will take you to a page that looks like this one. The top part discusses what an On Order vehicle is and why it is crucial to reserve it. The main reason to reserve is it guarantees you that exact vehicle and that exact discount. While we can't give you the final price from this page, you can figure out what incentives you qualify for and add our discount to them. That will provide you with a rough idea of how much your vehicle will be, and you can budget accordingly. Reserving your car will also allow us to lock in your incentives if your vehicle does not arrive before the end of the month. That is important for two reasons. First, if Chevrolet's rebates go down, you will pay the locked-in lower price. Second, if their rebates go up, we can just sell you the vehicle for the new lower price. It is a win-win for you. This applies to cash rebates only; unfortunately, we cannot lock in finance offers. Below is the example of the Silverado 1500 Limited. How to Read the On-Order Page Let's go back to our example. The Silverado 1500 On Order page can be a little overwhelming at first. Don't worry; it is easier to navigate than you think. Each Silverado 1500 is shown in its own box. There are seven rows in each box. Order # - This is the order number you give us to reserve your vehicle for you. It is a unique number like a stock number or VIN and will ensure you get exactly what you want. Vehicle - This line is an important one. It will show the year, model, drivetrain, and bed size. Exterior Color/Interior Color - Exactly what you think it is. You can also use the Interior Color to determine if the vehicle has leather or cloth seats. Trim - You can find the trim level and critical designations like Trail Boss on this row. Engine - You will find the engine's displacement and special designations like diesel or turbo on this row. Transmission - While we currently don't have any manuals, you can see what kind of automatic transmission is on the vehicle. Options - This is probably an important row once you know what you are looking for. We encourage you to reach out to us if you don't know what specific option packages have in them, but this row will help you narrow your search to the perfect vehicle. The pictures provided reflect the build of the actual vehicle. You will be able to ascertain the wheels, running boards, colors, and interior material. All On Order pages are filtered by descending trim level, but Silverado 1500s are further divided into two sections. The first section is the 2022 Silverado Limited. Think of the Silverado 1500 Limited as the 2021 Silverado 1500 that has been named a 2022. I know that is confusing, but here is a post to clarify what a Limited is. The second section is the updated 2022 Silverado 1500. These updated 2022 models have an entirely new interior and a slightly adjusted front bumper. How to Easily Search Since you are looking for a High Country with Super Cruise, the easiest way to search for that will be through an on-page search. You have the most straightforward method on a desktop or laptop. Hold down the Control (Ctrl) button and the F key. That will bring up a page search tool that will allow you to type in "Super Cruise." Use the pictures below as a guide to help you. Use Ctrl+F and type in what you are looking for. Works on all desktop and laptop browsers. If you are on a cell phone, it depends on your internet browser. If you are an iPhone user, you are probably using Safari. To search on Safari, go down to the share icon just below the URL. It will look like a box with an arrow pointing up. Click that button and scroll up until you see "Find on Page." Click that button, and it will open a text search. Type in "Super Cruise" and it will find every instance of the words you typed in. For Android users or if you use Chrome, the method is similar. Go to the share icon, again a box with an arrow pointing up. Click that button and scroll down until you find the "Find on Page." Click that and type in what you want to search. It will see whatever you type in, and you can use the up and down arrows to bounce between your results. I am trying to help you shop for yourself, but if you don't have the time or it is too much to go through, please give us a call. Our sales team is trained to look at our incoming inventory. We will help you find your next car and lock in a price you can be happy with. So why pay over MSRP at another dealership with you can lock in precisely what you want at below MSRP with us?

I will cover a somewhat controversial topic: GM's Super Cruise and why I think it's better than Tesla Autopilot. I believe Super Cruise is the best self-driving system available today in any car. Those who don't know Super Cruise is GM's self-driving system. It is fantastic, and we recently drove the latest version of Super Cruise in the new Cadillac Escalade, and today, I'm going to explain how it works and what makes it so great. Every new car brand has this. So you have Volvo Pilot Assist, Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive, Tesla Autopilot, and blah blah blah. Of course, they all have different names, but the basic idea is that the vehicle can drive itself based on specific criteria. These vehicles are equipped with various sensors and cameras that relay information to the car and tell it to speed up or slow down. The automation extends to the steering and braking functions as well. more Self-driving vehicles are getting common, especially in luxury cars. The second best system is Tesla Autopilot, but the best one is GM's Super Cruise. Super Cruise will be in 22 different GM vehicles by 2023, and 10 vehicles by 2022. We have orders in for the Silverado 1500 High Country with Super Cruise. These vehicles are available to reserve now by clicking here. You can also get Super Cruise on your Silverado EV, and you can reserve yours here. LET ME REPEAT. We have orders placed to build multiple Silverado 1500 High Country units with Super Cruise that have already been placed with GM. We anticipate ordering more, so if you want to get an order with the exact features and colors along with Super Cruise, contact us to start a sold order customized to your needs. Reach out to us to put an order in for exactly what you are looking for. What is Super Cruise and What Does It Do? GM came out with this truly fantastic high-tech self-driving system, and then they put it into lower sales volume vehicles like the Cadillac CT6 and the Chevrolet BOLT EUV. That is the main reason you haven't heard much about Super Cruise. GM designed this fantastic technology and limited it to some less desirable vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with an older version of Super Cruise and did not have automatic lane change. This kind of limited rollout makes sense as a way to make sure Super Cruise is everything GM expected it to be. The newer version found in the Silverado 1500 High Country is the one we tested. Super Cruise works in a very similar fashion to your standard cruise control. On the steering wheel, the cruise control buttons activate what at first looks like adaptive cruise control. Most luxury vehicles have a version of this, and it just means that your car will slow down if a vehicle is going slower than you are in your lane. Once the cruising speed is set and the car is ready, a gray steering wheel icon appears on the gauge cluster. That is when you know that Super Cruise is ready to be used. At this point, you don't have to activate Super Cruise if you don't want to and could continue to drive with standard adaptive cruise control. There is a second button on the steering wheel to engage Super Cruise. This button has the same icon as the steering wheel icon on the dash. When you click it, your steering wheel will light up blue, letting you know that Super Cruise is activating. Once the blue light turns green, you know the vehicle is driving itself. What happens next is pretty cool. As long as the green light stays illuminated, you can keep your hands off the wheel, and as long as you're looking forward, the green light will remain illuminated indefinitely. There are a few exceptions that we will talk about. With over 200,000 miles of eligible roads, Super Cruise can drive for hours without needing any input from you. It will steer, brake, and accelerate all on its own. The only requirement is you remain facing forward. The newest version of Super Cruise can even change lanes. When you're ready to change lanes or come up to a slower car and need to pass it, press the turn signal, the vehicle will start searching for an opening. Once it finds one, it automatically moves over and changes lanes. You can then stay in the lane, or once you pass the slower vehicle, activate the turn signal again and go back to your original lane. The vehicle does all of this without you having to touch the steering wheel. The minimal input is a nice touch and helps keep me engaged with the road. Since Super Cruise can make drives from Birmingham to Nashville or Atlanta to Dallas, it seems like an important feature to remind people that they are still behind the wheel of a car going over 60 MPH. There Are Two Limitations to Super Cruise There are two crucial limitations. Number one, as I've mentioned, to use Super Cruise, you must be sitting in the driver's seat and looking forward. You have to be watching the road. Super Cruise has this little camera mounted right in the middle of the steering wheel, and that camera watches your eyes. If your eyes aren't looking at the road, Super Cruise knows that you aren't paying attention and you're not engaging with what's happening in front of you, and you're a risk behind the wheel. So the green steering wheel light will begin flashing to remind you to focus on the road. It is worth noting that you can look away from the road for a few seconds without Super Cruise getting upset with you. While I don't recommend using those few seconds to text, the system was designed so you can change the radio station or climate settings without constantly being alerted to look at the road. After like eight to ten seconds, that's when it starts to flash the green light and Super Cruise begins the process of assuming you are no longer paying attention. Then, the nice green light will become an angry red flashing light, and Super Cruise will start to deactivate. The deactivation process begins by vibrating the seat, and it will start to slow the vehicle down. There will be an alert on the gauge cluster telling you to take control of the vehicle, as well as an audio alert. At this point, you will be forced to drive the vehicle yourself, and you will have to go through the activation process again if you want Super Cruise to continue driving you. The second limitation is Super Cruise will only activate on mapped roads. Those familiar with Tesla's Autopilot might scoff at the idea it will only work on specific routes, but GM has mapped almost every interstate in the USA. Here is a picture of the most up-to-date map. This limitation means Super Cruise is best used during a long road trip. However, GM is constantly adding highways, and they are currently making an effort to include major local roadways to the list. So while this version of Super Cruise can't get you from your driveway to your local store without any input, it does make tedious long distant driving much more enjoyable. Yes, Tesla owners, I know that is a significant limitation but be honest. Are you using Tesla's Autopilot on small in city roads? Do you trust that much? I think Tesla's Autopilot does a good job on the highway, but it is slow and scary to drive around town. So I don't feel like this limitation is a fundamental limitation. I love future technology, but I am not comfortable letting Autopilot drive a vehicle around an urban area. Why Super Cruise Is The Better Driver Assistant I feel like Super Cruise beats out Tesla because you are totally hands-off. The camera system that watches your eyes means you don't have to constantly tap the steering wheel to let it know you are paying attention. That is the method used by Tesla, and it gets frustrating on longer drives to have one hand loosely on the steering wheel, or if you do take your hands off the steering wheel, the alerts you get to tap the wheel. GM's system, by comparison, doesn't have constant alerts because it knows if you are paying attention from your eyes alone. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but you need to try them both. Trust me, that slight distinction was enough for me to give GM's Super Cruise the nod. If I were comfortable trusting Autopilot on street roads, I would say Tesla is better, but I simply do not. Instead, I want a system that requires very little input on my part and only for straightforward drives. That means the mapped road system GM uses suits me perfectly. I love it going through Atlanta. It handles traffic perfectly and makes it so I don't have to manage the break and gas, and the vehicle gets me where I am going. Super Cruise will require your vehicle to be connected. This means some sort of data program through OnStar. You will receive a 3 year trial period when you buy your Silverado, and after the trial ends, it will be $25 per month for Super Cruise.

Are you ready to enjoy driving around in Fort Payne and on the highway again? The team at Donohoo Chevrolet invites you to come and test drive the new Malibu. No matter which of the powertrains you choose, you will find that this sporty sedan will have you smiling at the wheel. For the LS, RS, and LT models of the Malibu, there is a peppy turbocharged 1.5-liter underneath the hood. It is mated with a continuously variable transmission that helps it achieve excellent fuel economy estimates. The output of this engine is 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Exclusive to the top Chevrolet Malibu Premier model is a heartier turbocharged 2.0-liter that will pump out 250 horsepower and 260 poujnd-feet of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission is paired with this engine. This more powerful engine requires you to fill the Malibu with premium gasoline.

There are many technological features on the Chevrolet Malibu that make driving easier. Intelligent Stop and Go The feature automatically uses the car's brakes to slow down when approaching a red light. Blind Spot Monitoring System The feature will automatically make your turn signals flash to alert you to a car that's in your blind spot. Forward Collision Alert It automatically makes your turn signals flash and sound a chime if you are traveling too close to the vehicle in front of you. Advanced Airbag System The feature will automatically make your turn signals flash to alert you of any other nearby vehicles. Brake Assist The feature will automatically make your turn signals flash, your horn honk or turn on your lights to warn other drivers of an impending crash. Lane Departure Warning System. The feature will automatically alert you if you drive away from your lane. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert This feature will automatically warn you if you are driving too closely to the vehicle in front of you. You can turn this feature on or off with the push of a button.

The Chevrolet Colorado continues to appear more attractive and eye-catching because of a few notable features that allow it to stand out in the auto industry. This bold pickup truck has a minimal body that is large and robust, causing it to have an athletic stance. The front headlights are average size and pair well with the oversized black grille, causing the vehicle to appear intimidating from the front. On the rear of the vehicle, the tail-lamps are bold and expressive to ensure the vehicle looks more modern and contemporary. Drivers can also appreciate the oversized tires and wheel wells to show off the truck's ability to tackle different types of off-road challenges. The vehicle also has a lot of ground clearance to make it easy to drive on various types of roads and steep inclines with ease

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is among the trucks with great towing and hauling capabilities. Not only that, but it also comes with plenty of intuitive tech features, most of which are standard in the feature lineup. It comes standard with a V-6 engine that churns out 285 horsepower. Other available engines include a turbocharged four-cylinder with 301 horsepower, two V-8 engines, and a six-cylinder diesel engine.
