Chevrolet Silverado HD Takes 2011 Motor Trend Truck of the Year!

Hendrick Chevrolet, your most reliable Chevrolet car dealership in Cary, North Carolina, is proud that the Chevrolet Silverado HD has swept the award this year for 2011 Motor Trend Truck of the Year.  This is the second successive award for Chevrolet after the Volt was named the 2011 Car of the Year by Motor Trend.

We boast over Chevrolet’s success, and why shouldn’t we? Since 2006, this is the first time that one automotive brand has won both the Motor Trend Car and Motor Trend Truck of the Year award in the same year.

The juries evaluated two Silverado’s -- one was an extended-cab gas SRW and the other a crew-cab diesel dually. They compared two Ford Super Duties, two Sierra HDs and two Silverado’s in a back-to-back comparison; both on highway straights as well as twisty roads, and the Silverado came out as the unanimous winner of the award.

The Chevy engineers have worked hard and upgraded the Silverado HD for 2011. Although the exterior looks identical with the earlier versions, the underlying mechanics have been improved, pretty much to make the engine more powerful and stronger.

Chevy makes “Sunscreen” for Corvette ZR1

Hendrick Chevrolet, your nearest Raleigh region Chevrolet car dealer in Cary, NC, is proud to announce that the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 now comes with sunscreen protection for its outer body. The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 leverages carbon-fiber body pieces to reduce weight and improve performance, as well as to improve the looks of the car.

It is common knowledge that uncovered carbon fiber used in car’s outer body gets degraded by sunlight. Hence, automakers tried to protect carbon fiber by using paint or use a different material that was designed to resemble carbon fiber. But Chevrolet ZR1 senior design engineer Mark Voss and his team of experts have come up with something that GM calls a “sunscreen” for the car: a UV-resistant clear coat that provides exceptional coverage on carbon fiber while protecting it from the harmful effects of sunlight, as well as from potential chips and scratches. He and his team devised this car sunscreen after working hard for three years.  The result: the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 buyers now can enjoy the exquisite honeycombed appearance of exposed-weave carbon fiber on the car’s roof panel, roof bow, rocker molding, front fascia splitter and the underside of its hood.

Though everyone said it could not be a possible feat, Voss and his team intensely worked on it. The challenge was to provide customers with exposed-weave carbon fiber with the durability they have come to expect from a chic Corvette. While others faked it, the Chevy presented a real deal. Finally, they succeeded and their hard work bore a visibly great fruit – a “sunscreen” for cars. Now the customers will not have to worry that their Corvette ZR1’s outer body will get faded by scorching sun in summer. Through this, Chevy showed it is unique when it comes to cars.

Chevrolet Camaro deposes Mustang’s supremacy in 2010, first time in 24 years

It seems like General Motors Co.’s Chevy brand is on a roll. After all, Chevrolet Camaro has finally deposed Ford Mustang from its Numero Uno position in 2010, a title that Ford was holding for 24 years since 1986. Hendrick Chevrolet, your nearest Chevrolet car dealer in Cary near Raleigh, North Carolina, is more than happy to be associated with this feat pulled by the Camaro.

The Chevrolet Camaro clearly outdid Ford Mustang by clocking sales of 81,299 units against 73,716 units of the latter. Both these cars have been battling it out for sports car sales supremacy since the redesigned Camaro returned to the market in 2009 after a seven-year hiatus. It must be noted that Ford Mustang had been the US leader since 1985 though the rivalry between Camaro and Mustang dates back to the 1960s.

Now, what makes the Chevy Camaro’s success a sweeter one? The Chevrolet Camaro outsold the Ford Mustand despite not having a convertible or a Shelby GT500 competitor on the market.  The Chevrolet Camaro sales rose 32 percent in 2010, while Mustang sales rose 11 percent. However, for those lamenting the absence of a Camaro convertible, your prayer has been answered. Come this February, and 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible will go on sale with prices starting around $ 30,000. The high-performance Chevrolet Camaro Z28, a competitor to the Ford Shelby GT500, is due at the end of this year as a 2012 model year vehicle.

The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is available in two trim levels including LT and SS. The LT trim of the 2011 Camaro Convertible is powered by a 3.6 L direct-injection V6 engine pumping out 312-hp and 278 lb-ft of torque, while the SS trim is offered with two 6.2L V8 powertrain choices including the L99 on automatic-equipped vehicles and the LS3 on manual-equipped models. The L99 engine produces 400-hp and a maximum torque of 410 lb-ft while the LS3 makes 426-hp and 420 lb-ft of torque.

OnStar can pay for itself with the savings it generates

Hendrick Chevrolet explains how OnStar can change your life for the better in several ways. Car owners, who generally get oil changed every 3,000 miles, can rely on the guidance from your monthly OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics report. It uses the GM Oil Life system which monitors engine characteristics, driving habits, and climate to determine when oil change is due. Most GM vehicles are running efficiently for up to 8,500 miles between oil changes, which could reduce oil usage by 50% or more each year. This saves money for the owner and is great for the environment.

On-Demand Diagnostics Checks by an OnStar Advisor can advise you if you need service. If your vehicle does not need service, the Advisor can save you an avoidable trip to the dealer – saving you time and money. If your vehicle needs service, the Advisor can tell you when you should service it. At your request, the Advisor can schedule an appointment with your dealer and give the trouble codes to the dealer’s technician, thereby making your vehicle service a cake walk. If your vehicle needs immediate assistance, OnStar can call for roadside assistance or provide a free route map to the nearest GM Dealership or service station. Immediate attention to issues can help minimize the need for costly repairs. OnStar also helps you avail of Auto Insurance Discounts.

                                             

OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics helps you maintain optimal tire pressure in all four tires. OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics also monitors your vehicle’s key operating systems and helps you keep your engine properly tuned. Both of these simple steps can help improve your fuel economy by up to 7% i.e. save 20 cents per gallon.

Please contact Hendrick Chevrolet to learn more about OnStar.

Use CARS for new cars

Considering trading in your vehicle? Take advantage of the CAR Allowance Rebate System (CARS), a federal program that helps the consumers buy or lease a more environmentally-friendly vehicle from dealers when they trade in a less fuel-efficient car or truck. The CARS is basically a $1 billion government program through which the consumers can get a $3,500 or $4,500 discount from the dealer when they trade in their old vehicle and buy or lease a new one. One main plus point of the program is that the consumers do not have to register anywhere or at any time for this program. Here are a few important points to keep in mind to utilize the benefits of this program.

Your vehicle must be less than 25 years old on the trade-in date

Only purchase or lease of new vehicles qualify

Generally, trade-in vehicles must get 18 or less MPG (some very large pick-up trucks and cargo vans have different requirements).

Trade-in vehicles must be registered and insured continuously for the full year preceding the trade-in

The program requires the scrapping of your eligible trade-in vehicle, and that the dealer disclose to you an estimate of the scrap value of your trade-in. The scrap value, however minimal, will be in addition to the rebate, and not in place of the rebate.

Last but not the least, the CARS program runs through November 1, 2009 or when the funds are exhausted, whichever comes first
