Chevrolet works up a range of Red Line Series Concepts for SEMA that will hit production

Chevrolet is bringing it’s A-game to SEMA this year in the form of a model range of Red Line Series Concepts.

Designed to showcase the personalization potential of the brand’s models, the Red Line packages have been tailored to the Camaro, Malibu, Trax, Colorado, and Silverado 1500 vehicles.

Though they wear the concept name, Chevrolet plans to make the Red Line accessories available for customization on 2016 model vehicles. Each design shares Enhanced Silver Metallic paint, a Charcoal roof panel, and Satin Graphite and red accents.

“The Chevrolet Red Line Series concepts integrate accessories that offer greater personalization choices,” said Jim Campbell, GM U.S. vice president of performance vehicles and motorsports. “Each vehicle wears production and concept accessories thematically linked under the Red Line Series banner. We look forward to gauging public reaction at the SEMA Show and other venues.”

Chevrolet is of course no stranger to special edition vehicles, having a host of truck-specific specials like the Midnight, Black-out, Rally, Custom Sport, and Trail Boss styling packages. The automaker has also given the Camaro its fair share of unique trims, including the Bumblebee, Indy500 Pace Car, Nieman Marcus, COPO, Hot Wheels, and Commemorative Edition.

That said, when the Red Line Series makes it to production, it will be one of the most range-expansive customization editions ever. Concepts, pricing, and ordering details have yet to be announced, but it’s assumed these tweaks are purely cosmetic, and therefore won’t cost substantially more than standard versions of each vehicle.

The 2015 SEMA Motor Show will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 3 through 6, and should draw some 60,000 foreign and domestic buyers (imagine how many people would come if it was open to the public). Be sure to check in with us as we get closer to the event for more coverage.

The Apple Car was reportedly dubbed ‘the Bread Loaf’

A 2020 prototype of the so-called "Apple Car" was dubbed "the Bread Loaf" for its looks, according to a Bloomberg report on Wednesday.

In a deep dive into the costly project, which Apple canceled last month, the report described the vehicle as “a white minivan with rounded sides, an all-glass roof, sliding doors, and whitewall tires [that] was designed to comfortably seat four people and inspired by the classic flower-power Volkswagen microbus.”

The Rivian R2 SUV is up for preorder for only $45,000
Rivian R2

You can now get a Rivian without spending more than $70,000. After months of rumors and leaks, Rivian has finally taken the wraps off of the Rivian R2, its newest SUV, and the first to be built on the new Rivian R2 platform. The R2 is built to be Rivian's "Model 3 moment," or its attempt to build a car that's more accessible to the general public and thus could be sold at a much higher volume than the R1S or R1T ever were.

The R2 certainly cuts some corners to achieve the lower price point, but it actually still has a lot going for it -- especially as an electric SUV in this price range. It goes up against the likes of the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Mustang Mach-E, and Kia EV6, but it's much more of an SUV than a crossover-sized car and should appeal to those who want something larger and with Rivian's design sensibility.

The R3 is Rivian’s surprise electric crossover
Rivian R3

Rivian didn't just announce the R2 platform at its latest launch event -- in a surprise twist, it also announced the R3 crossover. The R3 is Rivian's smallest car yet, offering a size much closer to the likes of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 than the SUVs that came before it.

Of course, not only is the Rivian R3 smaller, but presumably, it's also cheaper. Rivian didn't reveal actual pricing for the car, but it did say that it would be less than the R2's $45,000 price. Also, it may be some time before we start seeing the R3 on the road -- the car will follow the R2, which isn't set to be available until the first half of 2026.
