Four 2014 Chevrolet models have won Kelley Blue Book’s 5-Year Cost to Own Award after they proved to be less expensive to own and operate than comparable models from the competition.
“We want to make sure the customer has a great experience from shopping for their new Chevrolet to selling it,” Russ Clark, Chevrolet director of marketing, said in a statement. “Keeping the cost of ownership low is an integral part of that, and it hits closest to home with our customers.”
The winning models were the Camaro SS, Impala, Spark, and Spark EV. Chevrolet dominated the plug-in category, with the Volt coming in second behind the electrified Spark.
The awards give credibility to the cost savings and value in Chevrolet’s EV lineup. The Spark EV is one of the most affordable EV’s on the market, selling for $19, 900 after full federal incentives, while many Volt owners can travel up to 900 miles between fuel stops, saving them $ 1, 300 annually on fuel costs.
KBB uses a sophisticated valuation method along with financial data form third-party providers to compile a 5-year Cost to Own for all models. Criteria for the valuation includes depreciation, fuel costs, finance and insurance, maintenance and repair, and state fees.

Nice!
So that makes 8. Can we change the title?
So if people follow these publication’s and believe what they say then why do people still think GM has bad cars and trucks!
I don’t think this but there are plenty that do, I tell them go test drive one and see for yourself!
Those kind of people are ignorant or arrogant. I too tell them to go look at/test drive GM’s products. .
I would just call them lazy! They won’t get off there ass and take the time to go and test drive one!
But they have no problem saying bad things about a car they have never sat in
