Facebook Fridays: So What Does Chevrolet Really Stand For?

Besides breaking down Chevrolet’s acronym, this week’s Facebook Friday brings a slew of complaints along with some complements. Hey, there’s nothing better than helping out a Ford F450 driver and his trailer by towing all of them up the hill. Enjoy:

C-cracked H-heads E-every V-valve R-rattles O-oil L-leaks E-engine T-ticks chevrolet just thought you ppl should know what it stands for:-)

what are two fastest car’s in the chevrolet

Best cars hands down!!!! Drove the Impala today and it’s SOOOOOO smooth! Good job!!! I see why Chevy has the best cars!!

I just used my 2500HD Duramax to save a Ford F450 Crew Cab Flatbed. As we were driving up AR59 pulling a 1200lb trailer and 7400lb high lift we came across the Ford broken down half way up a rather steep grade pulling a loaded 30ft Stock Trailer I stopped an asked if they needed help the young man stated that the truck just shut down and he didn’t know what to do, so we grabbed a chain, hooked up and I’m still at how well that Duramax drug my trailer my lift his Ford his trailer and his horses all the way to the top with out even grunting!!!! There are a lot of really nice trucks out there but I couldn’t be happier!!!!

i called the local news channel today for my mom her cobalt has had the steering column repaced 6times the most recent just monday and its out again she called lemon law and chevy is only offering 3100 a verry small amount considering its a 2010 they wont help any more than that because they no longer buy back thier cars because of bank rup. there has been alot of accidents in our area with cobalts for unknown steering issues so everone if you know someone who drives one please have them have thier steering chkd b for someone is killd driving a peice of crap car i understand there is cars that may just b a lemon but when a company cant make it right then the company is no longer a good american company

chevys are CRAP my dad had 1, irdk why, and it was always breaking down. he said she had to take that 1 into the shop more often than any other car he had ever owned and he has owned a LOT of cars. now he only likes european cars, so he only BUYS european cars. he has an audi, ferrari, maserati, and lamborghini.me mother gotta range rover and aston marti- why am i talking about this???

I would rather push a Chevy (Like my Chevy will ever break down) than drive a Ford, Honda, or Toyota.

Got a new Equinox 2 weeks ago and love it. Glad to get rid of that piece a junk Lexus. Go Chevy!

they come with a handicap sticker as standard equipment

Bring back a very limited edition Riviera and Reatta, please. I know I won’t be able to afford them, but they are legendary vehicles.

An update on the battery leak in my 2011 Lacrosse with 11k miles: I finally got in touch with GM Customer Service today. I tried to get them to communicate via email. They stated that their department does not communicate with customers via email. That is hard to believe unless GM is trying to keep the customer from having any written records of dialog with customer service. Anyway, I am not too happy with the disposition of my case. They told me that GM is only willing to clean and repaint the part of the frame that is rusty and that the dealer’s service department stated that the battery did not leak enough to damage any other component (such as wiring harnesses or connectors). I disagree with this decision as there is evidence of the acid on the transmission and transmission cover. The acid was blown backwards from the drip by the radiator cooling fans. The sad thing is that I expected GM Customer Service to do the least that they could get by with.

I wish Buick would bring back there muscle car, the GSX or the Grand National.

I LOVE Buick!! My first brand new car was a 1985 Buick Sky Hawk it had 10 miles on the Odometer. It was a standard shift too. 🙂

Cddy always have and always will be guzzlers

You keep posting how great your cars are so WHY DO I HAVE A LEMON IN MY 2008 CTS?

I love you………muahhhhhh on a Cadillac ext and a escalade

Thinking about organizing a V drive in Houston. One trip around Sam Houston toll loop. Can you just imagine 15-25 Vs cruzing down the highway in a line! XLRV, STSV or or my favorite CTSV. Who’s in!

Why is it that Cadillac does NOT offer a navigation disc update past 2009 for their built-in GPS systems? Have been trying to get an updated disc for almost a year and no luck. BEWARE if you intend to buy a Cadillac with built-in GPS and need regular map updates!!!

they should make a cadillac pickup!!!!

Cadillac, you used to be dream. Now I couldn’t tell the difference between you and a ford focus with out coming up close for an inspection. Make a car that people will want to wright songs about again.

  3. I think this the one of the funniest if not the funniest edition yet

    My favorite one:

    “they come with a handicap sticker as standard equipment”

    I think he means Buick and Lexus!

    Other honorable mentions:

    “chevys are CRAP my dad had 1, irdk why, and it was always breaking down. he said she had to take that 1 into the shop more often than any other car he had ever owned and he has owned a LOT of cars. now he only likes european cars, so he only BUYS european cars. he has an audi, ferrari, maserati, and lamborghini.me mother gotta range rover and aston marti- why am i talking about this???”

    Like someone who regularly buys ferraris and audis would buy a chevy. No wont they dont know why there talking about this!

    “Cadillac, you used to be dream. Now I couldn’t tell the difference between you and a ford focus with out coming up close for an inspection. Make a car that people will want to wright songs about again.”

    This one is actually quite true, solemn, and heartfelt. What happened Cadillac? How could a car that once considered the true standard of the world come to this, where a cadillac is based on a cavalier? The good news is that the CTS, ATS, and XTS aim to change all of that, and maybe with, a few generations of hard work, that standard of the world can be regained.

    “Got a new Equinox 2 weeks ago and love it. Glad to get rid of that piece a junk Lexus. Go Chevy!”

    Yes, Chevy stealing Lexus customers. Go Chevy Indeed!

  4. They’re all good. My favorite – “They should make a Cadillac pickup.” Talk about totally being out of touch with the brand and its direction.

    1. They sort of already have… the Escalade EXT. Truth be told, it always seemed out of place to me.

  5. I like how it went from Chevrolet to Buick, Cadillac, and Lexus.

    Um, NEWS FLASH! If you own 12 cars, you will very likely take them to the shop a lot less often because they are not being used as often.

    However, I wonder which Chevy they had to take back so often? Just curious. As we discussed before, there are some very crappy cars from most of the makers at some point in their history. Who knows, Daddy seems like he might be a collector so it could have been a ’56 Bel Air with a bad head gasket. ;^)
