Chevrolet Has Engineered The Active Phone Cooling Feature

MT.PLEASANT, Mich. – Isn't it frustrating when you're driving and your phone overheats from streaming music and using your GPS at the same time? Most smartphones have a built in cooling feature that helps prevent this, however, that means that sometimes your phone will just shut off completely. To fight this, Chevrolet has engineered the Active Phone Cooling feature, which is an industry-first feature that cools your phone and keeps it from overheating!

So, how does this work? It is actually quite easy to understand: An air vent connected directly to the car's A/C and ventilation system is directed to the charging bin where the phone rests for wireless charging. This bin sits in the center, under the entertainment system of the vehicle. The system sends cooler air to help lower the smartphone's temperature and can only be turned on manually by the driver.

Several factors can cause or worsen overheating in smartphones like heavy strain on the device's data and graphic processors, high ambient temperatures or simply charging the device. That's why Chevrolet has engineered the Active Phone Cooling feature, which will be available on certain models of the 2016 lineup that include the new Impala, Malibu, Volt and Cruze models that are equipped with wireless charging and Chevrolet MyLink.

We cannot wait to see this new feature on the 2016 Chevy line up later this year! If you would like to check out our new or used vehicle inventory you could always stop by! Need to schedule a service appointment? You could schedule an appointment on our website! At your local St. Louis, Michigan Area Chevy Dealer we are always checking out the new technologies that Chevy is coming up with!

Chevrolet Revealed The All-New 2016 Chevy Cruze

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. - Last night in Downtown Detroit at the Fillmore, Chevrolet revealed the all-new 2016 Chevy Cruze to the delight of press, auto-insiders, writers and car-buyers. The all-new Cruze is more fuel efficient, lighter and longer, all things that buyers felt needed to be upgraded when Chevy initially started the new remodel. Currently, the Cruze is Chevrolet's best selling vehicle so it's exciting to see what new features and updates GM has in store for 2016.

John Cafaro, the Executive Director of Chevrolet Design, explained that Chevy wanted to keep a common styling theme that began with the new Impala, extended through the 2016 Malibu and now the Cruze. The new 2016 Cruze blends conservative and luxury designs perfectly together to create a vehicle that should run away with its segment, especially since the Cruze is such a globally popular model.

Chevrolet revealed the all-new 2016 Chevy Cruze, which takes giant leaps in the safety feature technology. There are 10 air bags, a side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure alert and forward collision alert. Within the updated and stylish interior, there is a completely redesigned 7-inch infotainment display that will showcase Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. All these added technology and safety features are what make the new Cruze relevant once again, as Stephanie Brinley– an industry anaylist with IHS Auotmotive– states, "They've (Chevy) been pretty conservative in this segment for some time, but that has served them well in the market. What it needs to be is fashionable and help Chevrolet get more loyalty and bring new people into the brand."

We feel that brand loyalty will not be a problem once drivers and buyers realize how perfect the all new 2016 Chevy Cruze is for them! We won't get the new Cruze here at Graff Mt. Pleasant until the spring of 2016, but you can bet we will have all the information so when it does get here you'll be well informed! If you would like to take a look at any of our new or used Chevy models, call us to schedule a test drive! Visit us at our Chevrolet 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.

GM Set To Reveal The New Sixth-Generation Camaro This Saturday

MT.PLEASANT, Mich. - Much to the enthusiasm of the automotive world, GM is set to reveal the new sixth-generation Camaro this Saturday. The new 2016 Camaro is Chevy's answer to the 50th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. In a back and forth war that has been going on since the beginning of the year, these three vehicles dominate the muscle car class, as they should.

The 2016 Camaro unveiling was opened up to the first 1000 individuals who registered via the #CAMAROSIX website, and all 1000 spots filled up in a little over 8 hours. Chevy spokesperson Monte Doran said, "We were very surprised. We thought it would take a few days or weeks to fill the available spots, so the response far exceeded our expectations!" Due to Chevy using already existing infrastructure for the Belle Isle Grand Prix, the auto company had to limit the reveal event to 1000 people.

But those lucky 1,000 fans will be in muscle car nirvana. In addition to the main event, those present will also be able to ride along on hot laps of the race course in the 2015 Camaro Z/28 models and take a parade lap in their own Camaros. Chevrolet is, smartly, veering away from the conventional approach to unveiling a new vehicle, which is usually done so at the traditional auto shows. An large treat for Camaro fans attending the event this weekend will also be the Camaro Museum on site, with over 20 cars ranging from the oldest production Camaro in existence, the 1967 Camaro VIN 16, or the original 2006 Camaro concept that preceded the fifth-gen model (the "Bumblebee" Camaro).

GM is set to reveal the new sixth-generation Camaro this Saturday. The 2016 Camaro will roll into dealerships this fall after a cross-country promo tour that will take it to the MLB All-Star Game in Cincinatti to "Camaro Fest" in Kentucky, and even back to Michigan for the Woodward Dream Cruise before making its final curtain call at the Los Angeles Auto Show. We are so excited, and CANNOT WAIT to see this amazing car!

If you would like information on how to reserve your 2016 Camaro, stop by or give us a call! At Hank Graff Mt. Pleasant we strive to provide our customers with a car buying experience that is accommodating, stress-free and fun!

General Motors Has Stepped Up Their Game

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – For many years, no American car company has had a tight grip on the reliable, and hugely popular, family sedan car segment.  Japanese automakers such as Toyota and Honda, offered safe, comfortable cars at low prices, and had reliability records that competitors couldn't match. General Motors however, has brought an impressive, new player to the field.

The Camry and the Accord have some stiff competition, because their competitors' reliability ratings have improved greatly, everyone is raising their games. Believe it or not, General Motors has stepped up their game and now offers the new-for-2016 Chevy Malibu, which ultimately raises the bar for the entire segment, and make America's top selling class of cars even better!

We have blogged about the 2016 Malibu in the past, and the new model is causing quite a lot of excitement ever since it was previewed at this year's New York Auto Show. A few years ago, Ford Motor Company released the newly updated Ford Fusion, which impacted the family sedan class in a large way. Unlike the Camry or the Accord, the Fusion featured a striking, dramatic styling and an updated interior the felt more sophisticated than the Japanese models. This put the Malibu behind, and GM was focused on bringing itself to the top of the family-sedan class.

Since the release of the Ford Fusion, General Motors has stepped up their game, and the release of the 2016 Malibu will forever change the entire auto-industry. The all-new Chevy Malibu will arrive to dealers this fall, and GM hopes that its profits and sales will rise as a result, which will definitely happen. Due to all of this immense competition going on in the popular midsize-segment, the car-shoppers will be the real winners at the end of the day!

If you would like more information on how General Motors is reinventing the midsize car segment, stop by, or give us a call at (989)-773-3937! The 2016 Malibu is a model we are very much looking forward to! At Hank Graff Mt. Pleasant we strive to provide our customers with a car buying experience that is accommodating, stress-free and fun!
