Camaro: The new Z/28 is more expensive than the more powerful ZL1 but proves its worth with track paraphernalia such as standard carbon-ceramic brakes, air-conditioning delete, and a radio that plays through a single speaker to save weight. The C6 Corvette Z06's naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V-8 provides "at least" 500 horsepower, and an aero package produces big downforce at triple-digit speeds. All Camaros, except the ZL1, receive a face lift with softer lines and single-lens taillights.
Caprice PPV: Updates for 2014 add things cops like, including a column-mounted shifter and a surveillance mode to black out the instruments. Also, there are things civilians would like, such as a seven-inch MyLink touch screen and Bluetooth.

City Express: Let's play the SAT analogy game: The Chevrolet Nova is to the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet City Express is to the you answered "Pagani Huayra," try again. If you said "Nissan NV200 dork van," you've uncovered GM's most egregious rebadging since the Geo era. The small commercial box has a four-cylinder engine, a CVT, and seriously awkward proportions.
Colorado: An Americanized version of Chevrolet's new mid-size pickup arrives here in the middle of 2014 as a 2015 model. No word yet on how our truck will differ from the global model, but we're confident of this: It will have cup holders.
Impala: Sneaking up on us like a massive coronary, the new Impala narrowly missed overall victory in our recent six-car comparo. It combines the classic large-car attributes—limo-like rear-seat space and a cavernous trunk—with sharp styling and surprising athleticism. That is, if you opt for the 3.6-liter V-6.
Malibu: There was nothing wrong with the new-for-2013 Malibu that a set of Dagmars couldn't fix, but there's already a face-lifted model for 2014. The newer Malibu wears more-aggressive (and more-attractive) front and rear clips and has sculpted front seatbacks to address complaints about insufficient legroom. The base 2.5-liter engine has been upgraded with variable intake valve lift and stop-start, for gains of one mpg in both city and highway cycles.
Spark: Chevy's gerbil-sized hatch can now be had with an electric motor in place of the gas engine if you live in California or Oregon. Range is a claimed 82 miles, and it should hit 60 mph more than three seconds quicker than the combustion version. To give the electric car every possible advantage in the market, the gas Spark has been saddled with a continuously variable transmission in place of the four-speed automatic.
SS: Four years after the G8 tragically sank with the rest of the Pontiac brand, GM's rear-wheel-drive sports sedan returns as a Chevy. The SS comes in one spec with the outgoing Corvette's 6.2-liter V-8 and a six-speed automatic. Output of 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque should propel the SS to 60 mph in less than five seconds.
