Chevy Volt...The Integration of Car and Technology

The Chevy Volt is getting closer and closer to its public launch date, and so far the Volt's future is looking rather promising. In this latest video from Translogic, Bradley Hasemeyer takes the Volt through a thorough test run to see how the vehicle really performs.

Bradley firsts begins by talking about the features of the car with several of the engineers that have worked to design the Chevy Volt. The highlighted features are the available 240 volt charging station that takes charge time from 10 hours to 4 hours, the integration with smartphones, the impressive braking systems, and the different drive modes that the Volt offers.

One of the great things that seems to surface through this video is just how much Chevrolet has focused on integrating technology into the car. As you watch the video, it should be clear how much technology goes into the vehicle to provide a smooth ride for the people in the car. Bradley hits it right on the head when he says that Chevy is "trying to integrate the car into your lifestyle, instead of you into the lifestyle of the car."

As you watch the video, pay attention to the performance aspects (0-60 time, sport mode, mountain mode), and pay attention to the integration of smartphone technology (it is really neat). Further, notice the comparison with the Nissan Leaf and Toyota Prius. It is rather impressive to hear that the Chevy Volt has a seemingly better experience than both of those vehicles as well.

Enjoy the video below and to see the whole story head over to Translogic.

Hall of Fame Luncheon

Baseball and Barbeque, two of America's greatest past times, converged today as Tom Gill Chevrolet and the Green Diamond Gallery hosted the Hall of Fame Luncheon at Montgomery Inn. The lucky participants got to enjoy the meeting, hearing from, and talking to the three major league inductees Doug Harvey, Andre Dawson, and Whitey Herzog. Further, the attendees had the pleasure of having Marty Brennamen as the master of ceremonies.

The event began with a quick introduction by Marty Brennamen and followed with speeches from each of the three Hall of Fame inductees. After the speeches, the attendees we able to conduct a question and answer session with Doug Harvey, Andre Dawson, and Whitey Herzog. The question and answer session touched on topics such as how best to coach youth baseball teams, how instant reply should be incorporated into baseball, and many stories of the all-stars.

After the question and answer session, Marty invited Tom Gill to the stagein order to present two awards given by the Character and Courage Foundation. Tom Gill Chevrolet was recognized as the main sponsor for the awards given today. Congratulations to Greg Miller for winning the Character award as he showed exceptional moral and ethical strength on and off the baseball field. Also, congratulations to Ashley Freeny for winning the courage award as she showed the quality off mind and spirit that has enabled her to face difficulty both on and off the softball field.

Following the presentation of the awards, Jon Warden (a former baseball player for the Detroit Tigers), was invited to the stage to be the auctioneer for the live auction that took place. While providing a great deal of laughter, Mr. Warden helped raise $7,800 for the Character and Courage Foundation. These funds, along with the funds raised through the silent auction, will work to empower the baseball driven lives of youth who are physically handicapped, diagnosed with life threatening illnesses, or living in impoverished areas.

Overall, the day was a great success in both honoring the 2010 Hall of Fame Inductees Doug Harvey, Andre Dawson, and Whitey Herzog as well as honoring Greg Miller and Ashley Freeny for persevering through the struggles in their lives both on and off the field. Tom Gill Chevrolet is excited and proud to be apart of the efforts being made by the Green Diamond Gallery and Character and Courage Foundation.

The video features the Character Award winner, Greg Miller, and the Courage Award winner, Ashley Freeny.
