My favorite Chevys - 100 years from now (Part Five)

Time now for numbers 41 to 50 of my list of 100 favorite Chevrolets in celebration of Chevrolet's 100th anniversary!

41) Chevrolet Captiva - The real SUV packs with more pace. This was a direct competitor to the Kia Sorento and the Hyundai Santa Fe because this car was made in South Korea. Normally, this was sold as the Daewoo Winstorm in summer 2006 but now, it was renamed as Chevrolet Captiva as part of replacing the Daewoo brand with Chevrolet.

42) Eleventh-generation Chevrolet Suburban - The Chevrolet Suburban was a legend in the Chevrolet lineup and on its eleventh-generation, it looks as much luxurious as the Ford Expedition and the styling is somewhat average. Imagine if politicians are riding with this one!

2007 Chevrolet Suburban

43) Tenth-generation Chevrolet Suburban - The eleventh-generation Suburban looks luxurious but the tenth-generation model looks highly memorable to me. Ruggedness and luxuriousness is the main theme on this one.

2003 Chevrolet Suburban

44) Second-generation Chevrolet Equinox - Undeniably this is the best Equinox I have ever seen in my life not only by its looks and its comfort but I think because of its reliability and now I can see lots of second-generation Equinox models roaming around. A practical crossover made for the practical American family.

45) Chevrolet TrailBlazer - The TrailBlazer is the successor to the Blazer and this SUV is somewhat good. Even when this model no longer produced since 2008, Russia still makes one of those and a successor, based on the new Colorado, is in the works. Sadly though, this new model won't come to the USA.

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

46) Chevrolet Forester - A Subaru Forester with Chevrolet badge? Yes, it does exist in India.

47) Chevrolet Tavera - Chevrolet's Asian Utility Vehicle is a rebadged version of the Isuzu Crosswind. Looks suspicious but still this is a Crosswind dressed as a Chevy in India. Not bad.

48) Chevrolet Tracker - A second-generation Suzuki Escudo rebadged as a Chevrolet might seem to be redundant but it doesn't matter for me.

2002 Chevrolet Tracker

49) Chevrolet Captiva Sport (based on the Opel Antara) - In some countries, there was a feistier side of the Chevrolet Captiva and this was a rebadged version of the Opel Antara. This crossover is called the Captiva Sport. Although there is no Saturn Vue, this Opel Antara-based SUV landed in the USA again as the Chevrolet Captiva Sport but unfortunately, this is for rental purposes only so you can't own it.

2011 Chevrolet Captiva Sport

50) Chevrolet Traverse - a common crossover in the USA, the Chevrolet Traverse is the first full-size crossover that brings more pace than the Equinox and I think this Chevrolet looks somewhat very practical to the average American family. As of now, I can see plenty of these.

My favorite Chevys - 100 years from now (Part Four)

Okay, now for numbers 31 to 40 on my 100 favorite Chevys in celebration of the brand''s 100th year!

31) 2012/2013 Chevrolet Colorado - This would be the best midsize pickup from Chevrolet yet. Thailand gets it first because this country has strong presence of midsize pickups. I just hope this model will come to the USA and in the Philippines soon...

2012 Chevrolet Colorado

32) First-generation Chevrolet Avalanche - This first-generation Avalanche is highly memorable because this is the first full-size sport utility truck that has a special open bed that opens to the back seat area by a midgate for convenience.

2002 Chevrolet Avalanche

33) Chevrolet SSR - this kind of Chevrolet is made to be somewhat retro when it came out in 2002 as a 2003 model and considerably confusing if this one is a pick-up truck or a roadster. Either way, they've created the most memorable masterpiece that combines these two body styles as a ute (coupe utility).

2003 Chevrolet SSR

34) First-generation Chevrolet Silverado - I remember this full-size pickup truck when it first came to the Philippines to take on the likes of the Ford F-150. Too bad they didn't last long because of poor sales.

1999 Chevrolet Silverado

35) Chevrolet Colorado (US Version) - So this midsize pickup truck follows where the Chevrolet S10 left off and believe me. This pick-up truck became much more better than the Chevrolet S10 in the past. Commonly, this US-spec Colorado was used by the government as roadside assistance.

2004 Chevrolet Colorado

36) Chevrolet Colorado (Thailand Version) - This is a different Colorado I have never seen in my entire life. The Philippines never had one of these Colorado trucks but that's okay, this Colorado uses the platform from Isuzu so, it's just the same feeling.

Thai-spec Chevrolet Colorado

37) Second-generation Chevrolet S10 - A memorable Chevrolet medium-sized pickup truck. Even when this one's already out of production, Brazil still makes one of those...

2001 Chevrolet S10

38) Chevrolet Montana - This small Chevrolet pickup is definitely based on the Opel Astra. No wonder the Brazilians had this kind of cool pickup and we're getting jealous to have this kind of compact pickup truck. This pickup truck is small but terrible.

2011 Chevrolet Montana

39) Second-generation Chevrolet Silverado - This model is the best Chevrolet full-size pickup truck in North America. An average American become so proud to this pickup truck that this Silverado always listens to the heartbeat of America.

2012 Chevrolet Silverado

40) Second-generation Chevrolet Avalanche - this latest Avalanche is somewhat a Suburban with a cab. Anyway, this Chevrolet looks good and its more made to be more utilitarian rather than being classy.

2007 Chevrolet Avalanche

Honda's new kei car makes a surprise appearance!

New Honda kei car


During the launch event of the new Freed Hybrid lineup and Insight minor change, a new kei car from Honda makes a special appearance.

Honda calls it the N-BOX. Okay, we don't know its specs, we really don't know its specs, no one knows its specs, we don't want to know because it made a surprise appearance and surprises do come with small brains.

This new kei car from Honda will be a direct rival to the Daihatsu Tanto, Suzuki Palette, and Nissan Roox. It will come at the end of the year.
