Cadillac CT6 Will Debut With A New V-6

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. -  GM has released the news this past Friday that the new Cadillac CT6 will debut with a new V-6! This new V-6 engine includes a best-in-segment 400 HP 3-liter twin turbo engine V-6 that will debut with the brand’s new CT-6 sedan. The CT6, midsize CTS, and the compact ATS sedans will also be outfitted with the next generation of V-6 engines.

This exciting engine announcement is in coordination of the new CT6 rollout, which was featured during an Oscars ad back in February. The new Cadillac CT6 will debut with a new V-6 engine and General Motors is currently investing heavily into Cadillac’s image, attempting to bring more sophistication to the brand itself. These V-6 powertrains are apart of this massive $12 billion investment in GM’s luxury brand.

“A new premium engine with a new premium car is just what the luxury space needs,” states Stephanie Brinley, an auto analyst with HIS Automotive. “It is a smart move for Cadillac to offer a brand new engine in a car that promises premium content and technology.” However, the new powerfully impressive engine will have some affect on the sedan's fuel economy. Cadillac engineers did mention that fuel economy is not a customer priority in the luxury market, but now due to stricter federal fuel economy mandates, manufacturers are replacing V-8 engines with turbo V-6s as a premium engine option.

The 2016 Chevy Malibu Will Be The Safest Car For Teen Drivers

MT.PLEASANT, Mich. – Earlier this week, we wrote a blog about the excitement surrounding the new 2016 Chevy Malibu. In a statement released this morning by General Motors Co., the company said it plans on debuting a new Teen Driver system on the redesigned 2016 Chevy Malibu. The system mutes the radio when front passengers haven’t buckled up and also give parents a report card on their teen’s driving habits. The 2016 Chevy Malibu will be the safest car for teen drivers with this new technology!

GM safety engineer states; “We developed this system so parents could use it as a teaching tool with their kids – they can discuss and reinforce safe driving habits.” GM has called its system the first in the automotive industry that can let parents view, on the car’s display, how their teen has been driving the vehicle. Teen Driver tells parents how many miles the car was driven on the previous trip, the top speed reached, the amount of speed warnings, stability control events, as well as anti-lock break events. The 2016 Chevy Malibu will be the SAFEST car for teen drivers, and if the vehicle is equipped with the technology, Teen Driver will also tell if the car had any forward collision alerts and forward collision braking events.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), in the United States, 16-19 year olds have a fatal crash rate per mile that is 3x higher than the rate of drivers age 20+. The 2016 Malibu will debut in early April at the New York International Auto Show, and the vehicle is expected to go on sale at the end of 2015.

If you would like to get more information on this amazing new technology, stop by, or give us a call at (989)-773-3937! The 2016 Malibu is a model we are very much looking forward to!

The New 2016 Malibu Wants To Be The Most Dependable Car On The Road

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – In 2008, GM launched the redesigned Malibu, a car that would go on to win the heavily desired North American Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation model was a major win for Chevrolet, and then GM vice chairman Bob Lutz. Now, the new 2016 Malibu wants to be the most dependable car on the road…anywhere!

Although currents models since the ’08 redesign have earned great marks from JD Power, sales have decreased, aided by a disappointing “refresh” last year that was below impactful. Chevy, however, wants to change that up and the new 2016 Malibu wants to be the most dependable car on the road! Next month at the 2015 New York Auto Show, spy shots of the new 2016 Malibu are set to debut and the show a significantly sleeker automobile that can be favorably compared to the Audi A7. The new 2016 Mailbu will be 300 lbs lighter than older versions, but will be slightly larger, to battle the past complaints of a lack of legroom that has become a popular issue since 2008.

GM seems to be committed to retaining the dependability of the older Malibu models, but whether that will be enough remains to be seen. GM has not only been testing the hot and cold weather driving trials in North America, they have stepped up their game to perform those same tests in Saudi Arabia and Russia. Just in case you aren't familiar with what the roads are like in the former Soviet Union, the Malibu will be facing tests that are impossible to recreate in a lab.

We will be sure to let you know when the new 2016 Malibu is revealed, but until then come down to Graff Mt. Pleasant to test drive any of our current Malibu models!  At Hank Graff Mt. Pleasant we strive to provide our customers with a car buying experience that is accommodating, stress-free and fun!
