Spy Shots: Next-Gen Buick Verano

Spy Shots Next-Gen Buick Verano

DELAWARE, Ohio – It was a sunny day in Germany and the car-paparazzi were out to snag a few next-gen Buick Verano spy shots while the sedan was out testing! We love a good sneak peak at what's to come for future models, so take a look below and let us know what you think!

Thus far, the next generation Verano has been spotted exclusively in Germany and from the looks of the latest spy photos, it has been taking styling cues from its European counterparts. Though heavily camouflaged in the next-gen Buick Verano spy shots, a sportier, more aggressive design is apparent with the straight-edge headlights, larger intakes, larger rear overhang, spine down the center of the hood, and more curvaceous look overall. With so much time being spent testing in Germany, it's basically assumed that the Verano will be built on GM's D2XX platform. However, the sedan's Buick influences don't go unnoticed thanks to the signature waterfall grille!

As the story goes with spy photos, what's under the hood is unconfirmed. It wouldn't be surprising if General Motors turned to its new line of Ecotec motors, but we will keep you updated as soon as news breaks!

Recall Aftermath: Should You Buy a GM?

Recall Aftermath: Should You Buy a GM?

DELAWARE, Ohio – In the wake of all the General Motors recall drama, you're probably left wondering whether or not it is a smart idea to purchase a new or used Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, or Cadillac, understandably. While recalls are concerning because they involve safety, not all are created equal. So let's take a deeper look at what it means to recall a vehicle.

The good news about recalls is that while a problem occurred, it was identified and a solution was made available to the consumer free of charge. Since they can affect safety, recalls are concerning, however they don't necessarily indicate an unreliable automaker. In fact, recalls are common among all automakers and almost all vehicles are subject to at least one throughout their lifetime. The critical aspect is how quick the automaker is to recall the vehicle when a problem is identified. From there, clear communication to customers and essential dealership support is crucial to addressing the situation.

As we've all heard in the news, GM stumbled a bit through this process which has caused recall after recall to make headlines. While the quantity is significant, the quality isn't as alarming and that is important to point out. Since the initial recalls, General Motors has become increasingly proactive, redoubling their safety efforts, and aggressively addressing any possible issues before the vehicles even hit the road; as occurred with the Chevrolet Silverado HD. Because like we said, one of the most important aspects to a recall is how quickly it is issued and resolved.

When it comes down to the purchase, before making a decision you should always research road tests and reliability surveys no matter which automaker you are interested in. In the case of used vehicles, competition was drastically different than it is today and many vehicles were built to price. You already know that older model vehicles don't compare to those built today, so always do your research and have the specific vehicle you are interested in inspected by your local dealer or repair shop to make sure all repair work has been conducted and to get a better idea of how the car was cared for. In the case of new GM vehicles, the quality, performance and safety of these models doesn't even compare to those sold even five years ago. The latest models have demonstrated their improvements through high vehicle testing scores across the entire lineup.

So while it is understandable that the GM Recall Aftermath may have left you wondering whether or not to buy, it's important to remember that not all recalls are of the same quality. Most importantly, here at Chesrown we are here to take care of you and your vehicle, making sure you are always safe when you hit the road. If you ever have any questions regarding your vehicle, do not hesitate to contact us!

Rearview Cameras Standard On 2015 Buick Models

Rearview Cameras Standard On 2015 Buick Models

DELAWARE, Ohio – Do you drive a vehicle that is equipped with a rear backup camera? You can't imagine living without it now, right? Well you're not the only one. A lot of drivers feel that way which is why rearview cameras will be standard on all 2015 Buick models, in an effort to increase safety and reduce crashes.

When you ask Buick customers the most important considerations when purchasing a vehicle, they're going to tell you safety and technology. So why not make both a standard feature on all Buick models? That's pretty much what the automaker said when they decided to make rearview cameras standard on all 2015 Buick models! Not to mention the increased safety they provide. In fact, a recent study by the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute actually found that vehicles with back up cameras have a significantly reduced rate of backing crashes!

“Rear backup cameras have become like power windows and air conditioning,” said Karl Brauer, senior analyst for Kelley Blue Book. So even if you haven't used one before, soon you won't be able to imagine not having one. The best part is that paired with Buick's suite of safety technologies, we can all become safer drivers and be better protected when we hit the road.
If you want to learn more about GM's new safety technologies, feel free to stop by anytime!

GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Silverado Updates for 2015

GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Silverado Updates for 2015

DELAWARE, Ohio – No, you didn't read the title of this article wrong. Even though the 2014 Chevy Silverado just recently hit the road, rumor has it GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado updates for 2015 are in the works! Though we may be biased, we think the 2014 Silverado is impressive. But with stiffening competition, it looks like GM has realized they can't afford not to fast-track updates for the truck's 2015 model.

Keeping mostly tight lipped in an interview with The Detroit News, GM's Silverado Executive Chief Engineer did slightly confirm updates for the pickup. A key update would be boosted fuel economy, which could possibly be accomplished with a transmission that utilizes more than the current six gears. We've heard rumors about the eight-speed transmission, and its inclusion could provide the improved fuel economy GM is going for. However, the automaker has also hinted at a weight reduction that could improve fuel efficiency by up to 20% through the use of aluminum and composite materials. Possibly paired with start-stop technology, the 2015 Silverado would be more fuel efficient than you've ever seen it. Last but not least, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado updates for 2015 will also include new appearance enhancements and technology.

“You’ll see these kinds of technologies over the next few years, a whole array of neat, new technologies, some focused on fuel economy, some focused on capability,” Luke, GM's Silverado Executive Chief Engineer, said to The Detroit News.

We won't have to wait long to confirm these details because the new 2015 Silverado is expected to debut before the end of this year!

CNG-Capable Chevy Impala Pricing Announced

CNG-Capable Chevy Impala Pricing Announced

DELAWARE, Ohio – Where are our friends who want a vehicle that is eco-friendly but can't go full on electric? If you like the sound of reducing your carbon footprint while also enjoying 500 miles per gallon, then listen up because this one's for you! The 2015 Bi-Fuel Chevrolet Impala Pricing was just announced, and for just $38,210 you can own a stylish vehicle that is also environmentally friendly!

Did you know that natural gas is one of the cleanest-burning fuels available? That's why Chevrolet decided to create the industry's only manufacturer-produced full-size sedan in North American that is capable of running on both compressed natural gas and gasoline – the 2015 CNG-capable Chevy Impala! Starting at just $38,210, the fuel efficient sedan is ready to hit the streets in the fourth quarter of this year when it goes on sale!

Whether you opt for the base LS trim or the next step up LT trim, you'll still be able to enjoy fuel savings of on average $1.25 per gasoline-gallon-equivalent! So not only will you be saving on fuel, but you will also get further since GM testing expects the sedan's combined CNG and gasoline capabilities to offer 500 city miles!

CNG-Capable Chevy Impala Pricing AnnouncedBoth models will be built with the 3.6L hardened engine with hardened valves and valve seats to improve durability and wear resistance with the CNG system. When you get behind the wheel, the sedan will primarily run on CNG and then when the tank is depleted, the system will automatically switch over to gasoline without interrupting performance. However, there is also the option to manually select which fuel you'd prefer to use with the simple touch of a button.

Chevrolet just announced the 2015 Bi-Fuel Impala pricing, but both fleet and retail customers won't have to wait long to begin saving money and reducing their vehicle's greenhouse gas emissions since the CNG-capable Impala goes on sale later this year! Let us help you find the best solution for your needs.

Chevrolet Special Service Police Silverado

Chevrolet Special Service Police Silverado

DELAWARE, Ohio – GM's law enforcement task force is expanding and the newest member is not one to be messed with. This Summer Chevrolet's award-winning Silverado 1500 is getting beefed up with a new Special Service Police Vehicle Package as the newest vehicle to join the task force!

The Chevrolet Special Service Police Silverado will be ready for duty with all the capabilities of the production Silverado, as well as special features created specifically for police use. Law enforcement agencies will have the option to get the SSV package on the Silverado 1500 1WT or 1LS trims with either 6'6" or 5'8" pickup beds and either 2WD or 4WD. The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine with 355 horsepower will come standard ensuring the Silverado can get the job done, no matter the challenge.

Additionally, law enforcement officers will be able to operate all of their equipment even when the truck is off thanks to the 170-amp high-output alternator and 730-CCA auxiliary battery that allow the lights, radios, computers, cameras, and other equipment to work even when the truck is parked and the engine is turned off. In the event that any additional equipment is needed, the SSV Silverado is ready to accommodate with a 110-volt outlet.

The Chevrolet Special Service Police Silverado also offers a new common key option that will make operations much easier for municipalities since it allows them to operate all of their SSVs and 2015 Tahoe police vehicles with the same key! Furthering its argument as a good investment for government agencies and municipalities that are budget conscious, the Silverado 1500 has been awarded for its low cost of ownership and is rated at 23 mpg hwy, the highest EPA rating for a 2WD V8 full-size pickup!

The new SSV Silverado is a beast, that is for sure, so make sure it doesn't end up in your rearview mirror when it hits the streets this summer.
