2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

Market Price : $27,030

The Chevrolet Silverado works hard to live up to its reputation as the ‘strongest, most dependable and longest lasting truck on the road’. The 1500 is the ‘half-ton’, model in Chevrolet’s full-size pickup line-up.

There are four engine sizes to choose from: 4.3-liter V6, 4.8-liter V8, 5.3-liter V8, and 6.2-liter V8; and two transmissions: a four-speed automatic and a six-speed automatic. Like all Silverados, the 1500 is available in a wide array of bed sizes, wheelbases, drive types and cab sizes, as well as a variety of trim levels.

The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is carried over from 2010.

Market Price : $38,283

Inspired by the BMW 2002, the 1-series redefines the entry-level luxury vehicle with typical BMW refinement and balanced performance.

The rear-wheel drive 135i is available as either a coupe or convertible. The 135i is powered by a twin-turbo, 300-hp, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a new seven-speed double-clutch transmission with steering wheel paddle shifting. Standard safety features include six airbags on the coupe, four on the convertible, anti-lock brakes, adaptive xenon headlights, adaptive brake lights, stability and traction control and run-flat tires with pressure monitoring. The 135i features the usual BMW creature comforts such as a 10-speaker audio system, auxiliary input jack, power sunroof (coupe only), automatic climate control, wood trim, leather wrapped steering wheel and multi-way adjustable front seats.

For 2011, the previous N54 twin-turbo engine has been replaced by a new N55 single turbo engine with Valvetronic that produces the same amount of power, with more efficiency; also, a new harman/kardon sound system is optional.
