Domino’s To Utilize Custom Chevy Sparks for Special Delivery Cars

Select markets to test compact Chevy car before possible nationwide expansion

The next time your order a Domino’s pizza, be sure to keep an eye on the deliver car. Domino’s and Chevrolet have teamed up to work on the ultimate pizza-mobile with custom Chevrolet Sparks titled the Domino’s Delivery Experts (DXP).

There have been custom cars in the past, and then there are one’s customized with a purpose. The Chevy Spark DXP falls into the latter category. Up to 80 pizzas could be stored at once in the DXP, being able to feed a party of almost any size. These special pizza delivery cars will be starting out in 25 cities, and unfortunately Knoxville isn’t one of them. However, the DXPs’ successes could mean more cities across the U.S. in due time.

What’s special about the Chevy Spark Domino’s Delivery Expert?

For starters, a built-in warming oven is kept heated at up to 140 degrees to keep the pizza hot from Domino’s to doorstep. The interior is focused on delivery as the Spark is almost a true roadster — just one seat. Drinks, napkins, dipping sauces and, of course, the pizza have more room than a full-size Chevy van.

This is quite a luxurious ride for the pizza. On the exterior, an illuminated “Out for Delivery” sign lets others know that the fresh pizza is inside and en route to its next destination. No customizable ride is complete without decals that set each one apart. Each driver can customize his or her Spark with nicknames and other such decals.

The fuel efficiency of the Chevy Spark (up to 31 mpg city) makes it an ideal car for a delivery team, and with an industry as synonymous with delivery as pizza. A delivery path illuminator is a custom side-mounted light that helps keep the delivery order out of harm’s way.

The Domino’s DXP is certainly a high point of customization for Chevrolet vehicles. The ingenuity behind it shows just how customizable the Chevys at West Chevrolet can be, from the muscular Camaro to the efficient Spark and everywhere in between.

2016 Chevy Colorado Stakes Claim in Midsize Truck Market

Pickup truck offers new diesel engine to improve on award-winning model

For the Chevrolet Colorado, topping last year’s model seems like no easy task. However, for 2016, Chevy’s midsize pickup truck aims to find a way to best last year’s award-winning model. This year, it starts with the available diesel engine.

All-new Duramax diesel

Chevrolet has raised the bar on the re-emerging midsize pickup market. No other competitor offers a diesel engine on their midsize truck, something that makes the 2016 Chevy Colorado at West Chevrolet unique.

With the 3.6-L V6 engine and available trailering package, the Colorado can tow up to 7,000 pounds! A Gear On cargo management system can help you better manage your gear, making the Colorado a great truck for road trips.

The 2016 Colorado isn’t just about the engine choices. It has some brains as well! A powerful 4G LTE Wi-Fi subscription is available to serve up to seven smart devices at once. The available eight-inch touchscreen MyLink system supports Apple CarPlay iPhone integration and, coming in March 2016, Android Auto support as well!

Special editions of the 2016 Chevy Colorado can add some flavor to your new truck! The off-road Z71 Trail Boss package comes with a sport bar with LED trail lighting, all-weather floor mats, spray-on bedliner and more!
