Your local GA Chevy Dealer has another smoking hot ride to be proud of. The 2012 Camaro Coupe has officially earned a perfect N.H.S.T.A. 5- Star safety rating. If you don’t know already, this means that the Camaro Coupe is the first car, of any class, to achieve a perfect score since the N.H.S.T.A upped the ante in 2011.

“Camaro has always been about performance, and that includes safety performance.”
–Al Oppenheiser (Camaro’s Chief Engineer)

The NHTSA, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, has recently implemented more strict standards in testing. This means that not only did the Camaro surpass all other vehicles in testing, it surpassed it on a much higher level.

The 4 Categories that the Camaro performed, perfectly, include:
• Frontal Barrier Crash Test (For the Driver and the Passenger)
• Side Crash Testing (For Both Driver and Passenger)
• Roll Over Testing
• Over-all Testing for all Standard Safety Features

Other Safety Features included on the 2012 Camaro Coupe include:
• Anti-lock Brakes
• StabiliTrak Electronic Stability & Traction Control
• Six Air Bags, standard
• Steel Safety Cage
• OnStar Automatic Crash Response


So you see, while the 2012 Camaro Coupe is one of the sexiest rides on the streets it’s also one of the safest. You can rest assured knowing that while you’re burning up the rubber, you’re completely safe in Chevy’s hands. The Camaro didn’t achieve that perfect five-star safety rating for no reason.

The Camaro is a car that Chevrolet has been proud of for almost 50 years. It’s no surprise that it was able to accomplish such a great achievement. It’s your turn to know what it’s like to be proud of one too. Your local GA Chevy dealer has one sitting on the lot, waiting for you to take her home. Don’t worry, if Camaro isn’t the Chevy that you’re in the market for right now, John Megel Chevrolet has tons of new, and used, Chevys available for you. Stop by, or give them a call today.

Your local Atlanta Chevy Dealer loves this new diesel powered car. The Chevrolet Cruze will be debuting in 2013 with the option of diesel fuel power. There are plenty of diesel powered trucks on the market today, but this one of few cars that will have this option. While the diesel fueled Chevy Car is already on the market in Europe, we can take this Cruze in early 2013.

While GM did confirm that the Chevy Cruze Diesel will be available to the U.S. in 2013, they didn’t give us many details as to what’s under the hood.

In Europe the Cruze Carries:

  • 1.6 Liter/in-line 4 Cylinder Engine (1.8 Liter Option Available)
  • OR, the 2.0 Liter VDCi Turbo-Charged, Common Rail Diesel Engine
  • All Three Options were available with a 5-Speed Manual Transmission, or a 6-Speed Automatic

For an American made car the Chevrolet Cruze really has shown it’s prowess in Europe. An estimated 60,000 of these rides have been sold so far. Not to mention that here in America over 100,000 of this model have been sold. A diesel powered engine will revolutionize the way we think about gas in terms of mileage.  It has even been said that this Cruze, with an estimated 51 MPG, will eclipse hybrid model cars all together.

The Cruze really has held it’s own, not just in Europe and America, but all over the world. We’re really anxious to see what this diesel powered Chevrolet Cruze has in store for our market.

If diesel fuel isn’t an option for you, you might want to check out our 2012 Chevrolet Cruze compact that is on show-room floors at your Atlanta Chevy Dealer now. It ranks high with a whopping 42 MPG and is one of the sleekest compact eco cars we’ve seen from Chevrolet. John Megel Chevrolet has tons of Chevrolets new, and used, just waiting to be driven. Stop by, or give them a call to drive home what should be your next vehicle.
