2017 Buick Envision - Mid-Size Crossover - Review

     With my mode of transportation gone, I kindly asked if I could borrow something off the lot to drive before I left town. (I was thinking I would probably get a "wholesale" vehicle to drive, which I would have been absolutely fine with.)I was generously afforded the opportunity to drive a certified pre-owned 2017 Buick Envision until my departure. My first thought was of course, A new car?! WOW. I hope I can figure out all the bells and whistles so I can get down the road. I have never owned a new vehicle. The newest- Used vehicle I have owned was a '97 Toyota 4Runner (purchased it in 2014), which I just sold.

      This Envision Essence wasn't loaded but it has has push button start, Stop-Start technology, back up camera, Wi-Fi hotspot, heated seats(nice), rear cross traffic alert, lane keep assist, phone pairing, just to name a few.
The Buick Intellilink system was quite easy to figure out and pairing my phone to the system wasn't difficult either. All of the items mentioned functioned grandly just in the few days I have driven the Envision so far.
The drive is quiet and this little crossover has really good pick up. I am by no means a slow driver. I like to get there in a hurry and this Buick with its 2.5L DOHC 4-cylinder did not lack for power.
       The Envision was easy to get in and out of. The rear seats

fold down smoothly and the cargo room it gave me was mind blowing. I could not believe how much it could hold. What I love about driving this Envision; With the key fob in my pocket I can lock or unlock doors and, open the lift gate. Last night from my kitchen window, I was able to lock the car. This is amazing.
I am used to simple things, but this Envision is making me think. I have not been disappointed.
      If you are due for an upgrade, take a test drive, you could be very impressed too.

New for 2018 - Explore in the Buick Regal TourX

It's quite refreshing to know that Buick is bringing new models to the market. I get the feeling that Buick is trying to recapture the innovative style, when Buick had a vibrant selection of models and styles to choose from.

At the end of 2017 Buick is introducing 3 new cars. Not SUV's or Crossovers, but cars. Refreshing.

#1. Buick Regal Sportback:  4 door sedan with lift back and fold down rear seats. Available in 5 trim levels, 8 exterior colors and 2 interior color options. Regal Sportback models will offer a standard 2.0T engine and sleek new design at a starting price -- $25,915 – that’s approximately $2,000 lower than the 2017 Regal.

#2 Buick Regal Sportback GS: includes a 3.6L V6 engine with 310 horsepower, providing more power than an Acura TLX A-Spec or a Lexus IS350 F-Sport but offers seamless auto stop/start technology and can cruise on four cylinders. Talk about adding some spunk into your everyday drive. Along with the added power comes a more refined transmission and AWD technology, all-new, heated/cooled and massaging performance seats and the added functionality and style of a five-door sportback design. Starting at $39,990 with destination charges, the Regal GS offers luxury features at a price more attainable than competitors from Audi and BMW.

#3 Buick Regal TourX: The first-ever Regal TourX, which combines car-like handling and SUV capability, launches with limited availability of select higher trim levels later this year. TourX models with a starting price of $29,995 are expected to be available at dealers in February 2018.

What is a Cabin Air Filter?

If you think that your A/C isn't running as good as it should - it could be that your Cabin Air Filter is CLOGGED. Easy fix....

          The Cabin Air Filter could be effecting how the Air Conditioner unit in your vehicle is working. I had no idea, but it makes sense that if the filter is clogged the A/C unit can not cool as well as it should. The filtration system operates on the same principle as the A/C system in your house. If the filter is clogged - change it, so that you can get colder air and better air flow.
Cabin Air Filters began to appear on U.S. cars and trucks around 1995. Today more than 80 percent of all new import and domestic vehicles sold in the U.S. have a cabin air filter or a slot where one can be installed.
Americans spend more than 3.7 billion hours in traffic each year, a key factor in the automotive industry’s decision to increase the number of vehicles equipped with cabin air filtration systems.

What is a Cabin Air Filter?

            Cabin Air Filters are designed to capture contaminants such as soot, dirt, pollen, and other pollutants, that enter the vehicles cabin through its heating, air conditioning and defrosting (HVAC) system.
            Cabin Air Filters also prevent leaves, dirt, bugs and other debris from entering the HVAC system and  protects the system. If improperly maintained it could eventually damage the HVAC system.
 They may be called;
    pollen filters,
    dust filters,
    car air conditioning filters,
    ACC filters,
    breather filters,
    micro filters,
    micron air filters,
    interior air filters,
    and interior ventilation filters.
Many cars are running with dirty, clogged cabin filters and we may not even be aware of it.
  

Where is the cabin air filter in my vehicle?

           Car manufacturers "hide" the cabin air filter in various locations, making them difficult to find and to service.
Cabin air filters are found behind the glove box, under the dash, and under the hood. Some Filters are easier to locate and change, while others require a bit of dismantling to get to.
Users should check their vehicle’s owner manual or ask a service technician for details regarding their specific vehicle.

How often should the Cabin Air Filter be changed?

Cabin Air Filters gather debris, soot and pollen.

           One place to find out is to check your owner's manual or you can check with your local service technician. Rule of thumb is, once a year or at least every 15,000 miles. 

If you are unsure as to whether you have a Cabin Air Filter in your vehicle - Ask your Service Adviser or a Technician. If you need a Cabin Air Filter, check with your Parts Department or schedule an appointment with your Service Department to have it replaced. If you think that your A/C isn't running as good as it should - it could be that your Cabin Air Filter is CLOGGED. Easy fix....

Keep it between the lines,
Happy Motoring.

2017 Buick LaCrosse - America's New Luxury Sedan

   The completely redesigned 2017 Buick LaCrosse is now a legitimate luxury car, not because advertisements say it is, but for the way it drives, the way it looks, and the way it invites you inside.
The 2017 Buick LaCrosse is not your "Old School Buick". This redesigned and engineered LaCrosse is full of life, lending it to be competitive with BMW 5 series and Lexus ES 350.
This LaCrosse doesn't handle like a tuna boat, it handles the corners with crisp handling and steering response.
The chief engineer on this project was Jeff Yanssens who has past generation Corvette-engineering ties. Jeff has brought that Corvette feel to this new Buick Lacrosse.  Changes include a stronger and lighter body structure, a five-link rear suspension system and  advanced sound deadening materials to reduce road noise and create a comfortable, quiet interior.

             The LaCrosse comes with a smooth running 3.6-liter V-6 producing 310 hp with a strong torque output of 282 lb ft. turning the wheels with an  eight-speed transmission. Standard front wheel drive and available all wheel drive.

Cadillac's Super Cruise helps defeat sleeping at the wheel.

It is not a wonder as to why we tend to be a bit overwhelmed each day, with all that is required of us on a daily basis. Does your day sound something like:
Get up early
Work out
Take care of the dog
Take care of the kids
Get everyone up and out the door
You get out the door
What did you forget?

Have your list
Have your phone, is it charged
What else?:
How many meetings do you have today
Where are they
What time are you getting home
Are you meeting up with friends/family tonight
What class/meetings do you have this week after work
What about dinner
Where will everyone be tonight

Tired yet?  What if while you are driving, your eyes get a little heavy. You know you can fight it. Power down the window, turn up the radio, chew some gum, drink some coffee. Sometimes all of that just isn't enough. The power of sleep overcomes you, and the inevitable happens.You crash. Whether anyone is hurt or not, it is a dreadful event.


The automotive world is all about the autonomous and semi-autonomous driving technology and General Motors has been working on a Super Cruise system in hopes to be ahead of its domestic competitors and cater to consumers who increasingly are looking for automated driving-assistance features.
The Super Cruise’s eye-tracking tech will enable the system to better monitor whether the driver is paying attention or not.This system is designed to work even when the driver’s head is obscured by, say, sunglasses or a ball cap. The system reads the eye socket and nose to determine whether the driver is alert and looking at the road.

Super Cruise software can detect if a driver is dozing off or not watching the road, and uses audible and visual alerts to grab the person’s attention. If the alerts don’t work, a representative with OnStar  will activate the vehicle’s intercom and communicate with the driver. If the driver still doesn’t respond, the car will pull over on the side of the highway and stop.
Super Cruise driver monitoring is one piece of GM’s approach to a safer self-driving platform. Super Cruise will be limited to highways that have detailed map information available; if the driver leaves the highway, Super Cruise shuts down.

Super Cruise is expected to launch with the 2017 Cadillac CT6, but GM has previously stated it will delay the technology should it require further refinements.

Keep it between the lines,
Be safe.
