Keep your eyes peeled for new Chevrolet advertising that will debut during Friday's Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games. The ads will highlight Malibu and the rest of Chevy's fuel-efficient lineup, Silverado as America's Best Truck, and the all-new Traverse crossover.
As summer approaches its end, we're reminded that even with the high gas prices, this season has had no shortage of fun, female friendly, road trips to share and enjoy.

There is almost nothing better for me than a great chick flick with a theme around a road trip, a classic car and the friendships, complexity and challenges of middle-aged women.
You've done all the planning and spending, and you're finally embarking on a much-needed family vacation. You've even reserved a rental car with a car seat for baby, so that you don't have to lug yours. So smart! Unless it's not, of course.
While rental car companies offer infant and toddler car seats as an "added convenience" (and at an additional charge, of course), it turns out that the reality may be worse than you could've possibly imagined.
Men and women often have preconceived notions of what is women's work. Women breaking into the automotive industry, a traditionally male-dominated field, may face many challenges.
