Green Comes to Plymouth…tracy Chevrolet-cadillac Introduces “green” Initiatives in 2008

chevrolet
Nancy Sheerin asked:


“The perception of General Motors and Chevrolet is of big, gas-guzzling, low mileage trucks, SUVs and larger sedans,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. “The reality is GM and Chevy are at the forefront of the movement to make vehicles more fuel efficient and, to coin a popular phrase, ‘greener’.”

Part of that green initiative is carrying more fuel-efficient automobiles. Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac presently carries several Chevy models that get more than 30 mpg—Aveo, Cobalt and Malibu—or upper 20 mpg—Impala, Monte Carlo. .

Besides offering automobiles that get better mileage, General Motors and Chevrolet is using what’s called active fuel management technology to improve the efficiency of many of its 2008 vehicles. Without the driver doing a thing, this innovative technology deactivates half of the cylinders of an engine in situations where extra power is not needed—like when you’re cruising down the highway. This has dramatically improved the performance and fuel efficiency of the Suburban, Tahoe, Impala and other Chevy models with V6 and V8 engines.

The crown jewel of Chevy’s green initiatives is the 2008 Tahoe Hybrid, winner of Green Car Journal’s “2008 Green Car of the Year.” The Tahoe Hybrid achieves 50 percent better fuel economy than a Tahoe powered by a standard 5.3-liter V-8. That translates to a 21-mpg city fuel efficiency rating, the same as a four-cylinder Toyota Camry sedan.

“It’s truly amazing the advances we’ve made in technology over the years. The real challenge now is keeping up with the demand to make these newer, more efficient vehicles available,” said Tracy.

The 2008 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid is available by special order only and a limited quantity is available. For more information, you can call Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac at (508) 830-0101.

To get a closer look at the greener, more fuel-efficient vehicles in Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s fleet, you can visit the dealership located at 137 Samoset Street in Plymouth between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday, Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tracy’s full inventory of automobiles is also available for viewing on its Web site at www.tracymotors.com.

So easy at Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac

For more than 80 years and three generations of dealers, the Tracy family has made it so easy for customers on the South Shore and greater Plymouth area to purchase new and used automobiles. Since its beginnings in 1992, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac has emphasized first-rate customer service and straightforward, bottom-line pricing with fair trade-ins every time–without the games or gimmicks you find at other dealerships. For more information on new and used trucks and automobiles, you can go to www.tracymotors.com or stop by the dealership, conveniently located at 137 Samoset Street, just off exit 6 on Route 3. For more information, or to make a service appointment, you can also call (800) 640-2884.

Chevrolet Aveo Used Auto Dealer

chevrolet
Thomas Champeval asked:


A used Chevrolet Aveo can be found at you local used car dealership with two main gasoline engine versions, the 1.2L or the 1.4L which has a richer level of equipment (SX). These two used auto versions are preferable because the 1.4L puts out up to 83 hp and the 1.2 is a good used vehicle buy because it costs less and has some similar benefits; to the 1.4L. Some versions of which have 95 hp engines while using less fuel , something that is on the minds of many used car buyers minds at the moment.

The used version most often available for sale buy used auto dealers is the 1.4L with 16 valves and gives 95 hp. This version is sold only with a five door body, which actually represents 70% of total sales of used car sales for the Chevrolet Aveo compared to 30% for used four door vehicle versions, both used vehicles come with a standard four-speed automatic transmission.

.

These two used Aveo versions, the 1.2 and 1.4L are among the most utilitarian small vehicles on today’s used car market with a reasonably similar power outputs but neither are available with standard ABS. The anti-lock brakes are optional with the LS and LT and we strongly recommend the request because they can help the driver maintain control in a state of emergency braking. The anti-lock brakes are optional with the LS and LT and we strongly recommend that you when buying a used vehicle you search for a used car with ABS because it can help the driver maintain control in a state of emergency braking

The less varied equipment is sold only with “SE” model with the less complete package. The used Aveo LS model comes equipped with highly rated serial side airbags, electric windows in the front and rear, fog lights, air conditioning, a tray that is extensible in front of the front passenger seat, which is a good specification level for used small vehicles in this class and price range.

The safety equipment on this used auto includes dual-stage front airbags, side airbags mounted in the front seats and front seatbelts with pre-tensioners, which eliminated the slack belt problem in the event of an accident.

Another interesting aspect of these two new engine variations for used vehicle buyers is how substantially lower their consumption is at an average of around 32 mpg for across the board motoring.

The EPA officially estimates that a used Aveo will deliver 24 miles per gallon in city and 34 on the open road. This compares well with the used Hyundai Accent (27/32 mpg) and a pre owned Nissan Versa (26/31), but when you take a look at the purchase price of this used car you will see that the best deals come with the used Aveo.

Chevrolet has also added a diesel engine to the used Aveo range which is even more economical getting close to 40 mpg across all driving conditions making it a slightly difficult vehicle to locate on the used auto car lots around the country. This is a great used vehicle for those that don’t want to spend a lot of money and yet still have a good level of specification and high average mpg.

Shanghai Gm to Introduce New Generation Chevrolet Epica

chevrolet
Noah Scott asked:


In the news: the Shanghai subsidiary of General Motors, the Shanghai General Motors Co Ltd has recently introduced its latest generation of Chevrolet Epica. The new generation of Epica is designed to boost the brand as well as the firm’s competitiveness in the mid-class car segment.

The new generation Epica is equipped with a two liter D-Tec engine and will have a price ranging from 137,800 yuan ($17,794 USD) to 162,800 yuan offered in four configurations as announced by the company over the weekend.

Aside from its new design, the Epica will also be given new parts although a GM hitch will not be part of the equation but the automaker has guaranteed that the new GM parts will enable the Epica to compete head-to-head with the other middle-class sedans in China such as the Ford Focus.

Ding Lei, general manager of Shanghai GM said, “The new Chevrolet Epica will play an important role in continuously lifting the Chevrolet brand. It will replace the old generation and became a new flagship model.”

The Shanghai subsidiary of GM is actually a joint venture between General Motors Corp. and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. which launched the Chevrolet in the year 2005. Aside from the Epica, Shanghai GM also produces other brands such as Cadillac, Buick, and Saab models. The car maker has chosen to build up the Chevrolet brand through the addition of new products such as the new Epica which the automaker has designed in response to the increasing demands of young auto buyers for low priced economic cars.

The platform used for the Epica was derived from a Daewoo model from the South Korean automaker which GM bought. Last year the sales of the Epica was not good caused by its relatively high price and the overlapping positioning strategy with the Buick models.

Shanghai GM is expecting for its new generation Epica to increase sales by 50 percent and improve the overall sales of Chevrolet models by 20 percent for this year since it will cost 10,000 yuan less than the previous generation based on the luxury specifications.

According to Rao Da, secretary from the National Union of Passenger Car Market and Information, “GM is quick in discovering various niche markets with models to win the markets in a very short time.”

Shanghai GM said that last year it was bale to sell more than 200,000 units of Chevrolet models. The carmaker is also planning of accelerating the production of other Chevrolet models. Last year the total units sold by Shanghai GM reach 413,367 which is an increase of 23 percent from 2005 ranking it as number 1 in all automakers in China.

To my fellow Chevrolet owners& anyone that would know about this?

chevrolet
*Sweet_heart* asked:


If your car needed to be repainted, where would you take it? Would you recommend taking it to a Chevrolet dealership and gettting it painted? I want to get my car painted. I am also worried that if I just take it to a body shop or a place like Maaco, then they won’t be able to match the paint exactly. I only want my bumper repainted, but I want the bumper to still look like it’s the same shade as the rest of the car; it’s black, and I don’t know much about cars so am not sure if it would be hard to match or not. Any recommendations? Thank you!

Arizona Chevrolet Owners Have No Regrets

chevrolet
Sal Lingo asked:


In the U.S. there are so many different climates it often feels like you are visiting another country when you go from state to state. Arizona is perhaps one of the most distinct places in this diverse country. We live in a true desert, with some of the hottest temperatures found anywhere in North America; and rugged but beautiful landscapes that bring visitors from all over the world. But living in Arizona can take a toll on your vehicle, which is why Arizona Chevrolet owners are the most satisfied customers when it comes to buying new (or used) cars.

There are three main types of Arizona Chevrolet owners: The Worker, The Transporter, and The Driver. The Worker is a Chevy truck owner. Whether they choose the Colorado or the Silverado, these guys need a vehicle that is as tough as they are, ready to take on the rugged landscapes and able to stand up to the dirt, heat and good old fashioned hard work. The Transporter, on the other hand, depends on the Suburban, Traverse, Tahoe or Express models to be able to take their family, co-workers, or clients through the desert heat with comfort and style. Finally, The Driver is a person who, above all else, has a love affair with the open road. They cherish any opportunity to take their Corvette, Camaro, or Impala out on one of the stretches of freeway and feel the roar of the engine.

Whichever category you fit into, and whatever lifestyle you and your family have, there is sure to be a Chevy car or truck to suit your needs. Not only are they made to live up to the standards of Arizona vehicle owners, but they are American made, and will provide you with many years of use and enjoyment. Arizona Chevrolet dealerships are always well stocked with a wide range of models and colors, so go take a test drive today and see what you’ve been missing!

Bad experience at Chevrolet dealership applying for a job?

chevrolet
ineedgirlhelp asked:


I had a really bad experience dealing with a manager of a Chevrolet dealership, i came in with an application and he didn’t even look at it, he immediately criticized me and disrespected me, treated me like a child and made me feel ashamed and embarrassed, I said only 3 words the whole time, he then turned around and walked away. He ruined my whole day and i want people to know what happened, who can i tell, i already e-mailed Chevrolet and they did little to nothing about it.
