The Chevrolet Exclusive, also launched under Joy in Pakistan, is a compact hatchback that rivaled the likes of Suzuki Mehran, Hyundai Santro, and Daihatsu Cuore. The international version of the Chevrolet Exclusive was discontinued back in 2005. From 2005 to 2009, Maxis Motors produced Chevrolet Joy in Pakistan. It came with a 1000cc petrol engine. The car under review, Chevrolet Exclusive, is a Korean import with an 800cc engine. Joy also had fog lamps that did not come with the Exclusive variant. The reliability of the Exclusive is more than that of the Joy. When this car was launched in Pakistan, it faced fierce competition from cars like Suzuki Alto, Cherry QQ, and Suzuki Cultus. In some countries, the same car has also been sold as Daewoo Matiz. The engine in this car is also from Daewoo. The owner has taken this car to the northern areas of Pakistan with significant ease and comfort.  Exterior and Interior: The exterior design language of this car is very youthful and gives a feminine vibe. It was marketed extensively in red when it was launched. Power windows are given for the front passengers only. It also has a remote to lock and unlock the vehicle and an anti-theft system. It has power wheel steering that makes it easier to maneuver in urban areas and in tight spaces. The side mirrors can be adjusted manually from the inside using a small lever. There are many storage compartments in the interior. Cupholders are provided for the front passengers in the center console. The legroom for the front and rear passengers is also optimal. Boot space is also enough for the size of this car and can fit one big bag with a small bag easily.  The air conditioning in this car is inferior to the Joy, which has a 1000cc engine. Due to its small size, it is a perfect car to keep in urban areas where there are tight parking spaces and congested traffic. Both the headlights and the taillights are halogen and are round in shape. There is a rear windscreen wiper, and speakers are integrated into the doors. The climate control vents are also round in shape. This car does not have an rpm meter in the instruments cluster for the driver.  Engine and Maintenance: This hatchback came with either an 800cc or a 1000cc petrol engine. This engine had both EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) and MPI (Multi-Point Injection) technologies, which were ahead of their time in Pakistan. This car gives 14 km/l in the city with air conditioning and 17 km/l on the highway. A single oil change can cost you around PKR 1800. The cost of an oil filter is around PKR 300 for this car. This car came with both manual and automatic transmissions.  See the video review below:  Verdict: There are issues with maintaining this car, especially its engine, as it came with complicated technologies that are not understood fully by the mechanics in Pakistan. The availability of spare parts is also a problem for this car as they are only available in big cities like Lahore. Dealership network was also very limited, and dealerships were only present in Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi. Joy can cause problems when it is being run on air conditioning. Moreover, there are issues with the ground clearance of both the Joy and the Exclusive.  Stay tuned for more review-based content. Drop your opinion in the comments section below.

The Chevrolet Camaro has always been one step behind the Ford Mustang when it comes to sales and popularity. Chevy has been investing into the Camaro platform a ton these past few years with brand new amazing engines, great handling dynamics, and stunning looks to just gain a fraction of the popularity that the Mustang has held for well over 50 years now since its initial launch. Take the Chevy Camaro ZL1 as an example. It has a supercharged V8 that pushes out 650bhp and well over 650 lb-ft of torque, Ford doesn't have any Mustang that can compete with those numbers currently, but despite that, it can never seem to match the Mustang in terms of sales numbers. So for the 2019 model Chevrolet has come out with a mid-cycle refresh and to be honest we're not sure what exactly Chevrolet was thinking. Let's start off with the styling. The pre-facelift Camaro was a fairly handsome car and was considered by many if not all to be the better-looking muscle car between it and the Ford Mustang. But with the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro, it seems that Chevy has made it look slightly worse than before. Around the front end, we get a much larger front grille that festoons most of the front fascia on the 2019 Camaro. The headlights have now also been revised. The hood now also features a new functional air extractor as well for better cooling. At the rear, it seems Chevy tried to make the signature Camaro rear taillights three dimensional. The Chevrolet Camaro 2019 is probably going to be a very marmite car, some people are going to love it, but purists might despise it. The engine lineup remains the same as before. A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 275bhp and 295 lb-ft of torque in the base configuration, and a 3.6-liter V6 slots in above that makes 335bhp and 284 lb-ft of torque. The 6.2L NA V8 makes 455bhp and 455 lb-ft of torque while the top of the range supercharged 6.2 V8 produces the previously aforementioned 650bhp and 650 lb-ft of torque. The 10-speed automatic transmission along with the manual transmissions have both dropped figures in terms of fuel economy. Both have only dropped around 1-2 mpg to be fair, but in a world where manufacturers will do everything to eek out just an extra kilometer per liter, it means a lot. But it could mean that Chevy decided to sacrifice just a bit of fuel economy for a much better and snappier transmission this time around. Various other things that are new for the Chevrolet Camaro 2019 includes brand new differential coolers, launch control, a no-lift shift function and electronic sound enhancement that uses recordings of the actual engine. All 1LE models like before will come equipped with a matte hood as well. Inside the interior, it's much the same as before, but the Camaro does get a rear-view mirror display that should help drivers immensely while parking, especially since the Camaro, suffers from some seriously massive blind spots due to the large rear pillars. Currently, there is no pricing or availability info on the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro, but expect the car to go on sale soon in the coming months for around the same price as the pre-facelift Camaro. There was even a rumor floating around that Chevy was looking to drop the price on its Camaro models to make them more competitive, but we shall have to wait and see whether that rumor comes to fruition or not.

So here is a thought, what would happen if you took one of Chevrolet's mid-range SUVs and combined it together with their two-door muscle car the Camaro. Well, it looks like we have to wonder no longer because it seems Chevrolet had the same idea and decided to actually bring it into reality. Meet the Chevrolet Blazer a nameplate we haven't seen for over a decade now, but that Chevrolet decided to bring back in spectacular style. If you take one look at the Blazer, you would think someone converted a Camaro into a high riding SUV, and that could be a very good thing. The Blazer could be perfect for those that have always wanted the aggressive look and feel of a Camaro but have had a family to take care off. The 2019 Chevrolet Blazer will join Chevy's already crowded SUV lineup that includes the Trax, Equinox, Traverse, Tahoe and Suburban; the Blazer will fit somewhere between the Equinox and the Traverse. The front end of the Blazer features a pair of very sleek and slim LED headlights that give off an almost menacing look, the Camaro like front grill takes up most of the front fascia giving off a very bold and aggressive look. "The Blazer has attitude,” said John Cafaro, executive director of Global Chevrolet Design. “It looks commanding on the road, while fulfilling the promise of versatility at the heart of every Chevy crossover and SUV.” On launch two engines will be offered in the Chevrolet Blazer, one will be a 2.5-liter inline-four that will deliver 193bhp and 188 lb-ft of torque. While a 3.6-litre V6 that delivers 305bhp with 269 lb-ft of torque will also be available in some trims. Both engines will come mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission and will be front wheel drive. While the higher end RS and Premier trims will employ a dual clutch transmission with an all-wheel drive. Now the Camera inspiration isn't just skin deep on the Blazer, take one look inside the interior, and it looks almost the same as the interior in the current gen Camaro. Though instead of seating just two the Blazer can seat a maximum of five. Available options on the interior include a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, adaptive cruise control, rear camera mirror, wireless charging, six USB ports, automatic tailgate and a panoramic sunroof. All Blazer though will come equipped with a central 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that has features such as 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Apple Carplay as well as Android Auto. The Chevrolet Blazer is expected to hit the streets in early 2019.

For the past few years, there has been continuous speculation online that Chevrolet has been considering building a mid-mounted V8 Chevrolet Corvette. And while the company has said multiple times that no such project is currently under consideration people have still had their doubts. Well, it seems as though these doubts were right all along because an actual test mule of the upcoming mid-engined Chevrolet Corvette has been spied testing out on the roads, and by testing, we mean being pushed to its limit giving us a chance to hear the unmistakable roar of a Chevrolet V8. Also Read: Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 2019 breaks lap record inadvertently! The video in question pieces together three different runs of the upcoming C8 generation mid-engined Corvette accelerating hard down an open strip of road. Currently its hard to get a feel for any details about this Corvette. Though one thing we can almost say for certain from the video is the mid-engined sportscar will most probably keep its signature V8 engine. Whether it is a naturally aspirated unit or a twin turbo affair remains to be seen. Obviously, we're rooting for a loud brash naturally aspirated unit as always. Current rumours floating online suggest that a choice between three power plants will be available for the C8 generation Vet. A 6.2 litre naturally aspirated V8 with around 460bhp is expected to be offered in the base model. In addition to this unit, GM will also supposedly provide the same 650 bhp 4.2 litres twin-turbo V8 we find in the current Cadillac CT6 V-Sport. A range-topper in the lineup could also offer a 5.5 litre twin-turbo V8 that could deliver upwards of 850bhp, that's more horsepower than what you find in a 6.5 litre V12 engined Ferrari 812 Superfast. All of these engines will come mated to some variant of the company's dual-clutch transmission, and who knows Chevrolet might even offer a manual if we're lucky. Nothing much can be said about the looks either at this point because the mid-engined sports car is hidden under a heavy layer of camouflage. From what pictures we do have one thing we did note is that silhouette of the car looks very reminiscent to the Ferrari 458, another mid-engined V8 supercar. There have been renders online of what a mid-engined Corvette could look like, but for now, we'll just have to wait for the official reveal to see just how badly General Motors either got it right or just plain messed up. Though we shall have to wait a while because the reveal for the mid-engined Chevrolet Corvette isn't expected to drop until January of next year at the Detroit Motor Show.
