The Newly Designed 2016 Chevy SS

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – The Chevrolet SS is all about performance. Not only should you be impressed by what’s under the hood, but also by what’s covering all of those components. The SS has always had a confident look on the road, and the newly designed 2016 Chevy SS is no different.

There have been many exterior changes to the newest model of the SS, and the first is the front fascia. With vertical ducts on the outmost edges, airflow is directed over the front wheels to improve the aerodynamic efficiency. Designers also incorporated LED signature lighting to the front of the vehicle, and for the hood you’ll see functional vents for better performance. Last, but not least, the wheels feature a new 19-inch cast-aluminum design sealing the deal that this sports sedan means business.

A few things that weren’t changed on the newly designed 2016 Chevy SS are the working parts that make this car a great performing, spacious sedan. Under the hood you’ll find a 6.2L V8 engine that kicks out 415 horsepower and 415lbs of torque. The sports car can be bought with a six-speed manual transmission or a paddle-shift six-speed automatic transmission.

A little added bonus is the new dual-exhaust system that makes for quieter performance when driving at low engine speeds and produces a more muscular note when driving with a wide-open throttle.

You can find plenty of great sedans at our Chevrolet dealer near Big Rapids, MI. We sell plenty of other new Chevy cars as well. Visit us at your Graff Mt. Pleasant Chevy Dealership located at 4580 E Pickard Rd in Mount Pleasant, Michigan 48858 or our Buick GMC Cadillac Dealership located at 116 N. Mission St in Mount Pleasant, MI 48858.

Will General Motors Create A Camaro Hybrid Option?

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. - 2015 has definitely been the year of the sixth-generation Camaro — sorry Mustang — and now the rumors are starting to drift: will General Motors create a Camaro hybrid option? Many automotive insiders believe that this would be a very smart move for GM, but recently the engineering team at LSXtv stated that the hybrid Camaro might not be an option for a long time.

Now, could there be a day when a hybrid Camaro graces showroom floors? Yes. However don't hold your breath. Chevrolet and GM claim that Camaro as THE premier sports car, and a hybrid option just goes against the Camaro brand's identity.

The technology needed to implement a Hybrid system into a sports car like the Camaro is extremely difficult to produce, and would be an entry into an unknown realm of performance for Chevy. If hybridization does indeed occur in a GM sports car, we believe it would happen initially with the Corvette before the Camaro. Like it or not, the Camaro is indeed a true colloquial vehicle and a leap into the the hybrid territory would just be way too expensive for the immediate time period.

So, will General Motors create a Camaro hybrid option? Maybe, but as previously stated, don't hold your breath. Even though a Camaro hybrid does not make sense for the current market, we have TONS of exciting new and used models here at Graff Mt. Pleasant. Visit us at your Graff Mt. Pleasant Chevy Dealership located at 4580 E Pickard Rd in Mount Pleasant, Michigan 48858 or our Buick GMC Cadillac Dealershiplocated at 116 N. Mission St in Mount Pleasant, MI 48858.

The Chevy Tahoe is the Number One Choice Among K-9 Units

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. - When it comes vehicles preferences of the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, the Chevrolet Tahoe is the number one choice among K-9 units. Choosing the type of vehicles used for the K-9 units is an important decision for the Oakland County Sheriff, and the ability to take the heat off of hard-working police dogs helps make the Chevy Tahoe Police Patrol Vehicle (of PPV) the country's most popular police vehicle for K-9 units.

So what makes the Tahoe a perfect K-9 unit vehicle? The spacious interior and the state-of-the-art climate control system are ideal for all three of the major components of a K-9 unit: the police officer, the police dog, and the vehicle they travel in.

 

 Like the video above states, dogs are extremely vulnerable to heat. The Tahoe PPV has more heating and cooling vents in the vehicle's third-row area than any other police utility vehicle. In the Tahoe PPV, the seat is eliminated to make room for the K-9 unit's kennel which allows the industry's only third-row upper and lower air vents to circulate cooled air to the back of the vehicle — which is why the Chevy Tahoe is the number one choice among K-9 units.
