Chevrolet Express/GMC Savanna
General Motors Corp.’s Chevrolet Express and GMC Savanna vans will be compatible with E85 fuel, beginning in 2010. E85 fuel blends 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.
The vans’ 2500 and 3500 models now receive GM’s Hydramatic 6L90 6-speed automatic transmission and revised rear axles. GM claims the new transmission and axles will improve low-rpm torque and highway fuel economy.
The Express and Savanna also will offer remote vehicle start for the first time in 2010.

Chevrolet HHR
Chevrolet’s small panel van enters 2010 largely as a carryover, although the addition of a rear-view camera is scheduled for midyear introduction. Otherwise, the addition of three exterior colors and revised interior color scheme are the only changes.
The HHR Panel features windowless side panels that replace the passenger version’s glass windows. Both of the van’s 4-cylinder engines deliver mileage ratings of 22 city/32 highway with the 5-speed manual, and 22 city/30 highway for automatics.
