Posted Sat, 03/06/2010 - 23:54 by trunk37

A reverse mortgage is a type of loan available to seniors, used as a way of converting their home equity (the value of the home, minus the amount of any existing mortgages) into one or more cash payments while retaining ownership of the property (continuing to live there) and avoiding monthly payments. Repayment of the loan is deferred until the borrower is no longer living in the home.

The Chevrolet Cavalier was Chevrolet's version of the compact GM J platform which consisted of the Cavalier, Cadillac Cimarron, Buick Skyhawk, Pontiac Sunbird and the Oldsmobile Firenza, as well as the European Opel Ascona C and the Vauxhall Cavalier Mk II.
The Cavalier was one of the most popular cars in America from its introduction in early 1981 as a 1982 model. It was affordable, reliable, and got respectable gas mileage. The Cavalier replaced the Chevrolet Monza, and competed with other compact cars that debuted in 1981 -- (e.g the Ford Escort and Dodge Aries).

The Chevrolet Colorado and its GMC counterpart the GMC Canyon are General Motors' new compact pickup truck, replacing the Chevrolet S10 and GMC Sonoma in 2004. Isuzu, which helped design the truck, will begin selling a version of the truck in late 2005 named the "i-Series". The Chevrolet Colorado was jointly designed by GM's North American operations, GM's Brazil operations, and Isuzu, based on the GMT355, itself the basis for the GMT 345-based Hummer H3 . The vehicles are manufactured and produced in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The Geo Prizm was a United States-market small car from the 1990s, formed in a joint venture between General Motors and Toyota. Sold as a 4-door sedan or 5-door hatchback, it was a rebadged version of the Toyota Sprinter, an upmarket version of the Toyota Corolla. It replaced the similar 1985 to 1988 Chevrolet Nova and the Isuzu-based 1989 Geo Spectrum. The Prizm was built at the New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. plant (NUMMI) in Fremont, California.

The Prizm was updated for the 1993 model year. It survived the demise of the Geo make as the 1998 to 2002 Chevrolet Prizm.

The Chevrolet Monza was available as a rear-wheel drive hatchback, coupe and wagon, sold from 1975 through 1980. It replaced the Chevrolet Vega, with three years of overlap, and was based on the same GM H platform. Other 1975-1980 H-bodies are twins of the Monza: the Oldsmobile Starfire, Buick Skyhawk, and the Pontiac Sunbird. Chevrolet previously used the Monza nameplate as a separate model within the Corvair lineup.

The Chevrolet Malibu (named for Malibu, California) is a mid-size car produced and sold in the United States by General Motors.

The first Malibu was the top of the line Chevrolet Chevelle from 1964 to 1972.

The Malibu was restyled on GM's new Colonnade A-body platform. Models included the base Chevelle Deluxe, mid-range Malibu and top line Laguna.

For 1974, the Deluxe was dropped, and the Malibu became the entry-level Chevelle. The Laguna trim package was replaced with the Malibu Classic.

LUV

GM's immediate, minimal-hassle, low-cost, no-brainer answer to the Japanese truck challenge laid in its partial ownership of Isuzu Motors Ltd. of (no surprise) Japan. By simply buying trucks from Isuzu and slapping some Chevrolet badges on them, GM had a somewhat viable contender in the mini-truck melee. The too-adorable name it pinned on this new "trucklet" was LUV for "Light Utility Vehicle."

The Chevrolet Lumina sedan and minivan were introduced in 1989 for the 1990 model year as a new range of vehicles from Chevrolet. Consumers were confused by having two different vehicles (the Lumina sedan and the Lumina APV minivan) share the same name, and the concept was eventually scrapped when the Lumina APV was replaced by the Chevrolet Venture in 1997.

Chevrolet Lumina is also the name of a rebadged version of the Australian Holden Commodore, sold in the Middle East, South Africa and Thailand from 1997.
