One Chevy, two Chevy's, White Chevy, Black Chevy.  We sure love our cars and trucks around here and we sure appreciate the occasional "Cream Puff" here and there.  As a Used Vehicle Aficionado, part of my passion is digging under whatever rocks possible to try to find these Cream Puffs.  Boy is it a thrill when you can really find the right one!  When you find two of them back to back, I figured I'd better get blogging!  My name is Jon and I am one of the owners of Honda North, which is a mid volume Honda dealership in Butler, Pa.  My Partner Howard and I, along with our Used Vehicle Manager, Don, just love our clean used vehicles.  Most recently, we were able to get our sticky little hands on two Chevrolet's that have to be two very rare breeds in the country today.

Our first rare bird is a 1997 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 T-Top in Arctic White with Hugger Orange stripes and 2042 miles on it.  I did not miss a number or a key here; not 12,042 miles, 22,042 miles, or even 32,042 miles.  The actual and exact miles on this truly pristine machine is 2042 as it sits on our showroom floor.  The Camaro Heritage in America is rivaled by few others.  Make it a Z28, and the plot thickens.  Pictures of this little beauty (which unfortunately do it no justice) can be found at www.hondanorth.net, or via this direct link http://www.autouplinkusa.com/FindVehicle1.cfm?object=show&AutoId=15939324&Type=U&MaxYear=2008&Make=Chevrolet&sort=Mileage&maxrows=12&DealerId=6194

Our second little gem comes to us as a local trade in.  It is a 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche LT finished in Black with Black leather, 9000 miles, gorgeous wood trim, and factory 20" Chrome Wheels that will make your jaw drop to the floor.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I have seen, owned, appraised, and driven literally hundreds and hundreds of different vehicles.  This Avalanche is one of the nicest vehicles that I have ever had.  The way that this thing rolls down the road on these 20" wheels is unlike many rides you have ever felt before.  It has all of the toys and is the only vehicle that converts from a luxury 5 passenger vehicle to a near open air pickup truck at the drop of a hat.  Pictures of this truly fine machine may also be found at www.hondanorth.net or via this direct link...   http://www.autouplinkusa.com/FindVehicle1.cfm?object=show&AutoId=15957290&Type=U&MaxYear=2008&Make=Chevrolet&sort=Mileage&maxrows=12&DealerId=6194

 A recent article in the Wall St. Journal announced that the Honda CR-V is the best selling SUV in America.  That's no surprise to us, we've sold hundreds because of the handling, comfort, fuel economy and space the CR-V offers.  Customers of all walks of life agree:

Deb Nison is a data warehouse developer in Portland, Ore., who  likes to go snowboarding on nearby Mt. Hood. Once upon a time, she drove a Chevy TrailBlazer, and later a Subaru Forester. Today, she owns a 2007 Honda CR-V.

"I like the way it handles," she says. She appreciates feeling "ridiculously safe" in a vehicle with standard head protecting airbags. And for an SUV, she says, it gets "decent mileage" -- about 23 miles per gallon so far around town.

Ms. Nison is just one reason why the Honda CR-V is, as of June 30, America's best-selling sport-utility vehicle. The CR-V's rise, and the parallel collapse in demand for "real" SUVs like the TrailBlazer and the one-time King of SUVs, the Ford Explorer, reveal a lot about why the American auto industry is in the shape it's in right now.

 Our favorite part of the article talks about the near meteoric sales growth of the CR-V when compared to the decline in sales of larger SUVs such as Hummers and Explorers:

In the late 1990s, the CR-V sold modestly compared to the mighty Explorer. In 1997, Honda sold just shy of 67,000. By 2000, sales had risen to just over 118,000. In other words, barely half of one Explorer assembly plant's annual production. The Explorer, and the even larger SUVs such as the Hummer H2 that built on its success, were the T-Rexes of the American road. The Honda CR-V was the furtive mammal, scurrying to stay out of harm's way.

Did somebody say, asteroid?

The 2007 models are the third generation of the CR-V, and made it a safer, more stylish and comfortable vehicle:

Generation III, launched in 2007, combines an efficient interior package, five-star front and side crash-test ratings, AND styling that is sportier on the outside, and clever and uncluttered on the inside.  One other wise choice Honda made was to keep the CR-V a four-cylinder model, with highway fuel economy rated at 30 mpg for two-wheel-drive models, 28 for the all-wheel drive.  On the road, the CR-V is quiet, and at just over 3,500 pounds, it is less ponderous and easier to maneuver than a standard SUV. It also does better on the government rollover test, scoring four stars to an Explorer's three.

If you're in the market for an SUV, we invite you to come check out the CR-V at Honda North.  We'll be happy to show you why the CR-V is America's best selling SUV, and offer you a great deal on one as well!  Click here to see our real-time inventory of new Honda cars and trucks.
