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.

2015 GMC Canyon | Midsize Truck | Car Seat Capabilities

Ingenious, Innovative, and Thinking outside the box. That is what GM did when they conceived the idea of using what was available within the 2015 GMC Canyon. The Child Safety Seat fits perfectly in the rear seat of the new reintroduced, redesigned 2015 GMC Canyon midsize truck.

The interior layout is comfortable and roomy

The layout of comfort, and technology make this GMC Canyon a must have for those who don't need a full size truck but want to still get around, and be able to move things. Adding the ability to take the family along for the ride was a must.
How they accomplished this was to make the rear seat headrest a vital factor in the equation.
The headrest is removed with one simple movement. It is then inserted into the front of the seat where a specific set of portholes are. This allows for the seat to be extended so that the car seat will have the correct format for safety. (see video)
Traditionally a car safety seat would not fit into the rear of an extended cab truck, because the seat bench is shorter that a traditional seat. There are specific guide lines for a seats width for safety seats and to accommodate this requirement, GMC came up with this design. It makes it so the safety seat meets those requirements and allows for a more versatile vehicle, capable of handling a families growing needs.

2014 GMC Sierra has Arrived!

The 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 All Terrain has arrived!

                                    

The redesigned GMC Sierra pickup is going on sale, this Spring, with V8 engines that GMC claims will get a better fuel economy than the rival Ford F-150 equipped with a turbocharged V6.

The 2014 GMC Sierra gets a base price of $25,085, a $1,495 increase over the current base, rear-drive Sierra with a 6-foot bed.

GMC has redesigned the new truck with the crew cab body style and optional 355-hp, 5.3-liter V8, which adds $895 to the sticker price. GMC expects the 5.3-liter V8 and six-speed automatic transmission powertrain to be the most popular with truck buyers.

Base prices, including shipping charges, for the GMC trucks, with rear-drive and 6-foot beds are:

• Regular cab: Sierra, $25,085 
• Double cab: Sierra, $29,110
• Crew cab: Sierra, $33,210

GMC says a rear-drive, regular cab Sierra with the 5.3-liter V8 will deliver 16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway and 19 mpg combined, compared with 16/22/18 mpg for a 2013 Ford F-150 with the 365-hp EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6.

Four-wheel-drive versions of the GMC trucks will be rated at 16/22/18 mpg, compared with 15/21/17 mpg for the comparable Ford F-150.

Later this year the GMC trucks will become available with an optional of a 6.2-liter V8. The V6 and both V8s are all equipped with direct fuel injection, variable valve timing and cylinder cutoff technology to boost fuel economy.

The cylinder cutoff allows the V8s and V6 to run on four cylinders, allowing for greater fuel economy. All Models come with a six-speed automatic transmission.

GMC will give buyers of the GMC Sierra a service maintenance plan that runs for two years or 24,000 miles. The GM trucks use an oil life monitor to alert the driver to the need for an oil change, rather than a preset mileage/month schedule. The current GMC trucks use the same oil life monitor.

While the 2014 GMC Sierra look little-changed from the 2013 model on the outside, several changes to the interior and under the skin were made.

Among them:

•  The extended cab body style is replaced with a double cab that uses rear doors hinged at the B-pillar and that open toward the front of the truck and can be opened without opening the front door.

•  The trucks' frame and body use more high-strength steel to reduce weight while increasing stiffness.

• All versions use electric variable-assist power steering, which reduces load on the engine.

•  The interiors were redesigned to add more leg room in the rear of double cab and crew cab models. The instrument panels include an optional 4.2-inch monitor that shows vehicle status info.

•  All trucks get four-wheel disc brakes.
