Boston Gears Up for Summer Arrival of Twelve 2011 Chevy Six-speed Models

May 25, 2010, Boston, MA…With the summer months fast approaching and consumer concerns growing over rising fuel costs, Chevy announced that 12 new models will be offered with fuel-saving, six-speed automatic transmissions. Soon, there will be sightings of the new Chevy automatics cruising around Boston, the surrounding communities, and popular New England vacation destinations.

As Chevrolet has emerged as leading innovator in fuel-efficient cars, trucks, SUVs and crossovers, American consumers have noticed, and now Greater Boston Chevy dealer Quirk Chevrolet, located in Braintree, MA, anticipates brisk summer sales in response to this latest technological advance.

“We’re really excited to be offering the new Chevy six-speed automatic transmissions in our 2011 Chevy models,” said General Manager Haykel Ammari. “Their combination of performance and fuel-efficiency is an ideal fit for those long summer drives.”

For example, the 2011 Chevy Cruze Eco will come equipped with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.  While the exact automatic transmission figures haven’t yet been released, the manual transmission model will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 10 seconds while still receiving a class-leading 40 mpg on the highway.

Furthermore, nearly 80% of the popular 2010 Chevy Equinox crossovers are also equipped with these fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmissions and deliver on average 32 mpg on the highway.

Perhaps the most remarkable balance of performance and fuel-efficiency is contained within the 2010 Camaro, a legendary sports car that now comes available with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, both of which have a 312 horsepower, 3.6 liter, direct-injected V-6 engine that receives an astounding 29 mpg on the highway.

“These are exciting times for Chevy buyers,” added Ammari. “With twelve new six-speed models to choose from, there’s something for everyone—everything from sporty crossovers and SUVs to rugged Chevy trucks and high-performance, fuel-efficient sedans and sport models. Greater Boston Chevy drivers have never seen anything like this lineup!”
