The Mitsuoka Rock Star has been revealed in Japan, and it's a remarkably good recreation of the second-generation Chevrolet Corvette based on the current Mazda MX-5.

In its new Silverado 1500, Chevy wields a bigger, lighter, more efficient and more refined weapon.
It's big, brash and built to get the job done. But, does the Australian-converted Chevrolet Silverado cut the mustard? Paul Maric finds out.
HSV has announced pricing and specs for its hotly-anticipated, right-hand drive converted take on the Chevrolet Camaro 2SS. First up, the burning question of money. You'll pay $85,990 before on-road costs for the automatic Chevrolet muscle car, plus $850 if you want Bright Yellow, Garnet Red or Hyper Blue Metallic paint. Power comes from a 6...
Chevrolet has revealed the newest addition to its Colorado line up, the ZR2 Bison. Co-developed with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), a firm best known for modifying Jeeps, the ZR2 Bison picks up a number of off-road focused additions over the ZR2. Chevrolet claim AEV went over the vehicle and “identified parts of the truck that would be most vulnerable off road and set about strengthening them...
The next-generation 'C8' Chevrolet Corvette has been spied at the Nurburgring, wearing less camouflage to show off its new mid-engined shape. Up front, the headlights and ankle-breaking splitter share their basic DNA with those of the current Corvette ZR1, although the snub-nosed profile and air intakes on the rear flanks are dead giveaways as to where the engine is hiding...
Chevrolet and Dodge have had some epic muscle car battles over the years – think Corvette and Viper for example.

Premoso Pty Ltd has recalled the MY18 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, over concerns the rear-right and rear-centre seatbelt buckles. According to the company they may have been torqued incorrectly, which could undermine their effectiveness in a crash. Obviously, that puts occupants in those seats at greater risk of injury in an accident...
Chevrolet has announced a new, faster charging system for its Volt hybrid, helping halve the time required for a full battery. The 7.2kW charger is aimed at owners who like "opportunity charging" – plugging in for a quick top-up when the chance arises – and drops full recharge time to 2.3 hours when hooked up to the right kind of socket...
