Chevrolet is one of those cars that many of us in growing up during the past decade remember as desirable. They continue to build great cars, trucks and vans and have a line up of consumer vehicles as well as one for commercial vehicles. Since 1911 William Durant and Louis Chevrolet launched they Chevrolet Motor Car Company with hopes to offer a competitively priced option to the Ford Model T. The Chevrolet Motor Car Company released their first car in 1912.

Chevy is often thought of with muscle cars of the past, low riders and other fun vehicles that the owners loved to show off in. Chevrolet is also thought of as big car, big truck or big van but they have a full line of small to mid sized vehicles today and many of their vehicles rank well in surveys, get good marks from many consumer review sites and people that drive Chevys usually drive them because they like them.

When it comes right down to it a car company is a car company and each has its fans and those would rather drive something else. People buy cars for whatever reason they do. You may choose your car for nostalgic reasons or because it is the best car according to some source you trust. Many shoppers today don't have a brand loyalty and buy the car that is reviewed buy a consumer review site as well as has favorable report from other members of that review site or because their car insurance will be lower.

Every manufacturer has vehicles that are great and well received and some that just sort of bomb like the AMC Pacer and it even had its own fan base. Chevrolet is no different there are some great Chevys and some not so great. One thing Chevrolet has done from the start is to give better value at competitive prices. From their first car the "Classic Six" that was a 5-passanger touring sedan that featured four doors, electric lights, folding top, windshield and a toolbox.
