The Facts on GM's recent Loan Repayment

noreply@blogger.com (Brickell Motors) — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:08:00 +0000

Image via Wikipedia

On Wednesday, April 21, 2010, GM Motor Company returned $4.7billion to the U.S government and $1.1 billion the Canadian and Ontario governments. The car company filed for bankruptcy protection last year in order to shed liabilities and focus on becoming more agile. Under the original repayment plan, the first payment was not due until July 2015. The U.S. Treasury, Export Development Canada and UAW still own a significant portion of General Motor’s equity, but the loan repayment is a key milestone. The repayments were a result of GM’s enhanced performance, with Mr. Whitacre, GM’s chairman, recently hinting that its first quarter-results would be “strong”. Over the past nine months, GM has invested $1.5B dollars in 20 facilities and created or restored 7,500 jobs in the US and Canada.

GM was able to payback the loan due to consumer’s response to recent product launches and the overall improvement of sales. Florida auto companies have seen a significant increase in sales with at least a 20% increase compared to last year. U.S. sales performance is tracking upward, indicating growing consumer receptivity to returning to GM showrooms. Make sure to visit your local GM Miami dealer to see what new vehicles are in store for you.

The GMC Sierra 1500 Z60 is the Miami Truck for You!

noreply@blogger.com (Brickell Motors) — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 16:46:00 +0000

Lets face it, Miami isn’t the best city for off-roading. That is why the Sierra Z60 is the perfect vehicle for anyone living in Miami who likes to drive a powerful truck. The Sierra 1500 Pickup truck is capable of towing up to 10,700 lbs or hauling a payload up to 1,909 lbs. Some other pros that come with this powerful pick-up are a smooth and quiet ride, upscale interior and standard safety features. Antilock brakes (front disc, rear drum) are standard, with an all-disc setup available via the Max Trailering package on the Denali trim. A stability control system with roll-mitigating technology is also standard across the lineup, as are front-seat-mounted side airbags and side curtain airbags. In government crash tests, the 2010 GMC Sierra 1500 earns top five-star ratings for frontal collisions. Still not convinced? Visit your nearest GM Dealer in Miami to test drive the Sierra Z60.

What exactly is a Z-60 in the first place?

noreply@blogger.com (Brickell Motors) — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 20:28:00 +0000

By now, you're probably wondering what all the talk about the Z60 is about, or you're probably wondering what Z60 even is in the first place. Quite simply, it means that your truck is ready to take on Miami driving.

When it comes to GMC trucks, five suspension setups are available: NHT is for maximum towing capacity and includes high-capacity rear springs, Z83 is the standard suspension and is designed for a smooth ride; Z85 is set up a little more firmly for better handling and towing; and Z71 is specially adjusted for off-road driving and includes 18-inch wheels.

This brings us to the Z60 suspension. The Z60 has been tuned for maximum street performance, and comes standard with 20 inch wheels. This means that the truck looks good and handles like a much smaller vehicle, which sounds as if it was suited for any Miami driver, especially since the majority of Miami pickup drivers don't regularly haul or tow large loads or drive off-road (if ever).

If the Z60 package sounds interesting to you, then you've come to the right place at the right time, because Brickell GMC is currently offering a special deal on all Z60 Sierras. Now, you can get a brand-new well-equipped Z60 for less than $400 per month. Or, if you would like to test drive a Z60 truck for yourself, why not visit Brickell GMC and take a test drive for yourself?

The 2010 Buick Enclave is Miami’s Most Affordable Midsize SUV

noreply@blogger.com (Brickell Motors) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:23:00 +0000

A recent study done by the US News Rankings and Reviews, ranked the 2010 Buick Enclave as #1 for the most affordable midsize SUV. The ranking is based on 46 published reviews and test drives of the Buick Enclave as well as an analysis of reliability and safety data. Consumer Guide describes the Enclave as a “crossover that builds on the strengths of its more mainstream cousins by offering tangible upgrades in luxury and style. Its car-like driving dynamics and ample passenger and cargo versatility make it a must see for shoppers considering a premium SUV."

General Motors is also giving away great incentives by taking out the risk of buying with its 60-day money back guarantee program. The program allows buyers of 2009 and 2010 vehicles to return them between 31 and 60 days of purchase -- just as long as there are less than 4,000 miles on the odometer and the buyer is current on payments.

The Enclave is available in two trims: the base CX, premium CXL and new top-of-the-line CXL2. Trims are available with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Make sure to stop by your local Miami GM Dealership to test drive the Buick Enclave and see if it’s the vehicle for you.

2010 Buick Lacrosse is Your Miami Car of the Year

noreply@blogger.com (Brickell Motors) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:19:00 +0000

The 2010 North American Car and Truck of the year Awards announced its finalist and the 2010 Buick Lacrosse was one of them. GM won two spots in the top 5 finalist along with Ford. The 2010 Buick Lacrosse is available in 3 different trim levels: the CX, CXL FWD, and the CXS. Stop by your local Miami Dealership to test drive and take home the new Buick Lacrosse this Holiday.

Compare the 2010 Buick Lacrosse to the 2009 Lexus ES 350 in Miami

noreply@blogger.com (Brickell Motors) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:49:00 +0000

The fact is many people relate a Buick to their grandfathers old car but the truth is times are changing and so has the new 2010 Buick Lacrosse. For over a decade, Lexus has been quietly reaping the rewards of a luxury sedan that offers comfortable seating and at a reasonable price. Buick has now joined the game with its offering of the 2010 Buick Lacrosse, starting at a base price of $33,765.

Now lets compare the two. Judging from the Buick Lacrosse standard, heated/ventilated, leather-upholstered front seats we can tell you that it offers a much more comfortable ride than the Lexus ES. The Buick Lacrosse also offers it’s back seat passengers more room for comfort than the Lexus. In terms of driving dynamics, the Lexus has one subtle but distinct advantage over the Buick, because you never notice the drivetrain at all. In the ES 350, the ultra-smooth and remarkably quiet V6 develops 272 horsepower, yet requires high-octane fuel to do so. The EPA's combined fuel economy rating for the 2009 Lexus ES 350 is 22 mpg, and we confirmed it with an observed average of 21 mpg. The direct-injection 3.6-liter V6 in the 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS makes more power than the Lexus V6 with 280 hp and it does so with regular-grade fuel.

From behind the Buick CXS's standard heated steering wheel, we found its ride far more controlled and yet soothing than that of the squishy Lexus. The LaCrosse CXS has standard two-mode self-adjusting shock absorbers that do an excellent job of damping out impacts with a single(!) rebound stroke. In comparison, the Lexus feels soggy with its soft springs, and the traditional dampers allow the body to oscillate through at least two suspension cycles after an impact. An area where the 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS scores big points is in our scoring for 10 selected features, including must-have items like navigation with real-time traffic information, remote starting, perforated leather seating with heat and ventilation, and so on. Of course there are items both cars have in common, like intelligent keys, premium audio systems, articulating xenon headlamps, dual-zone climate controls and oversize moonroofs.

2010 GMC Sierra: What's New for 2010
By the Manufacturer
Photography by the Manufacturer

What's New for 2010

For 2010, the GMC Sierra will enjoy a handful of mechanical refinements and interior and safety add-ons.

Starting with the mechanical end, E85 FlexFuel capability has been incorporated into all V-8 engines, which includes the 4.8-liter L20, the 5.3-liter LC9 and LMG, and the 6.2-liter L9H. GM's Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission is standard fare with the 5.3- and 6.2-liter powerplants, while the 4.8-liter V-8 and base 4.3-liter V-6 remain paired with the Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic. To assist with fuel economy, variable valve timing is built into the 4.8- and 5.3-liter engines, while a tall 3.08 rear axle is mated with a fuel saver mode for 5.3-liter-V-8-equipped Sierra trucks.

The interior features side curtain airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, and a now-standard USB port on all radios. The interior door trim has been revised for the start of the new decade, while the rearview camera is now available for more models. Assisting the Sierra in the handling and stability department is the StabiliTrak electronic control system, which now comes standard on all light-duty Sierra models.

Two new exterior colors are also being introduced for the Sierra: Sheer Silver Metallic and Storm Gray Metallic.

Now is the Best Time Ever for Miami Drivers to buy a GM vehicle

noreply@blogger.com (Brickell Motors) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:15:00 +0000

The automotive industry is definitely an interesting and dynamic one, which is guaranteed to change at least once a year. However, the past year or so has been one of the most dynamic and interesting ones of all. Now that things have calmed down a bit, the future looks brighter than ever for GM.

In the next 18-24 months, the “new” GM will be introducing 16 new models- all of these models are fuel-efficient cars and new crossover models, which prove that we have a lot to look forward to in the future. This is in addition to the many award winning cars already on the GM Roster, such as the Chevrolet Impala and Malibu, Chevy and GMC Trucks, and the Buick Enclave.

And while we’re on the subject of Buick, I should mention that Buick has been named the number one brand in the world for quality (by J.D. Power and Associates). And speaking of new models, the brand-new 2010 Equinox and GMC Terrain are redefining the crossover segment, and actually have the best fuel economy in their segment, even better than vehicles such as the Ford Escape hybrid.

GM Dealers are also offering amazing deals right now, and if you couple these deals with record-setting low interest rates, then you will realize why now is the best time to buy that new vehicle you’ve been wanting.

How long will this optimum situation last for prospective buyers? Probably not too much longer; with economic news getting brighter every day, interest rates and incentives will probably become a little less favorable for the prospective buyer as times go on.

That is probably why it’s best to take advantage of this optimum buying situation now, before this opportunity is gone forever. You can find your opportunity at Brickell Buick Pontiac GMC in Miami. Brickell Buick Pontiac GMC is the largest GM dealership in Miami with tons of vehicles to choose from. Contact them now at 786-245-4980 or visit them online at http://www.brickellgmc.com for more information.

Its no wonder many choose to buy a GMC Acadia, they know it is a reliable and spacious car for the whole family. Many Acadia drivers give accolades to the vehicle for its spaciousness and capability of an SUV with a smooth ride and responsive handling of a crossover. For 2009, Acadia receives an enhanced version of the 3.6L V-6 VVT engine that uses gasoline direct injection technology to help produce more power, greater fuel economy and increased towing capacity than the '08 model. The engine is paired with Acadia's fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmission.

The Acadia is perfect for the Miami family, seating up to 8 passengers. It is offered in SLE and SLT trims, with SLT-1 and SLT-2 equipment packages available. All models are available in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. Did we mention how safe the Acadia is? The safety system includes six standard air bags and standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control and rollover mitigation technology. Acadia 's body-frame integral structure enables lower entry/exit height for passengers. Despite the vehicle's SUV-like front-end height, the front door step-in height is only 18.9 inches (480 mm); the rear door step-in height is 19.8 inches (503 mm). Entry to the second- and third-row seats is eased with very wide rear doors and GM's exclusive Smart Slide second-row seat feature.

New Acadia exterior colors - Quicksilver Metallic and Silver-Green Metallic are added to the palette, replacing Liquid Silver Metallic and Blue-Gold Crystal Metallic.

USDOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) released results of the CARS (better known as “Cash for Clunkers”) program Wednesday, saying 690,114 new cars were sold along with $2.88 billion in rebate applications submitted through the $3 billion initiative.  
 California led the nation with $326.8 million in requests for federal rebates, followed by Texas with $183.8 million and New York with $156.3 million.   Honda and Toyota were the only two automakers to feature more than two models among the top 10 “Clunkers” buys.

An available rear-seat entertainment system makes the Acadia a great vehicle for family vacations.

New features include available 20-inch chrome-clad wheels, USB connectivity located in the center console which enables stored audio files to play through the audio system, a Yukon Denali-style roof rack, and an available cashmere interior. The SL comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels, front and rear air-conditioning, power accessories, cruise control, and a six-speaker CD/MP3 stereo system with XM satellite radio.

Preview of 2010 GMC Acadia
From CarGurus

Note: The 2010 Arcadia will be arriving in Brickell GMC showrooms soon, and is testament to the saying “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it!”. Only minimal changes have been made from the 2009 version, which has been a top car in Miami since its introduction in 2008. For more information on how to get your hands on your Acadia, go to www.BrickellGMC.com .

Family-friendly, loaded with standard features, and, except for an added trim level, pretty much unchanged from '09, the 2010 GMC Acadia full-size crossover SUV comes in three trim levels, the new-for-2010 base SL, mid-level SE, and top-shelf SLT, with the SLT trim offering two sub-trims, the SLT1 and SLT2. All Acadia trims are available with either front-wheel drive (FWD) or full-time all-wheel drive (AWD), and all are powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission.
The 3.6-liter V6 is capable of 288 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, while the six-speed automatic comes with electronically controlled overdrive. This combo will tow some 5,200 pounds when properly equipped, and the EPA estimates 17/24 mpg for the FWD 2010 GMC Acadia trims and 16/23 for the AWD trims.

Standard appearance, comfort, and convenience features for the 2010 GMC Acadia SL include eight-passenger seating with front bucket seats and second-row bench seats, 18-inch alloy wheels, a roof rack, rear spoiler, power windows, door locks, and mirrors, split-folding rear seats that allow 117 cubic feet of cargo space when folded down, a center console with storage, remote keyless entry, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, air conditioning, carpeted floor mats, a single-CD player with six speakers, and OnStar/Bluetooth hands-free communications technology.

The 2010 Acadia SLE adds a power liftgate, second-row captain’s chairs, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and rear parking assist sensors, while the high-end SLT1 adds 19-inch machined aluminum wheels, heated outside mirrors, leather-trimmed upholstery, a rear-view camera system, six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, two-way power-adjustable passenger seat, tri-zone climate control, and a remote anti-theft alarm system. The SLT2 is delivered with standard 20-inch chrome-clad wheels, an eight-way power driver’s seat and four-way power passenger seat, heated and cooled front seats, and chrome-metallic interior accents.

Options for the 2010 GMC Acadia progress from a tow package, upgraded chrome, rear-seat DVD entertainment, and the rear-view camera system for the SL trims, to a voice-activated DVD navigation system, a Bose premium audio system with 10 speakers and satellite radio (with real-time traffic when the optional navigation system is chosen), and tri-zone climate control on the SLE trims, and on to include a power-tilting sunroof, upgraded wheels, and cashmere leather upholstery for the SLT trims.
Safety features for the entire 2010 GMC Acadia lineup are impressive and include four-wheel disc ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, traction and stability control, dual front side-mounted airbags, three-row head curtain airbags, daytime running lights, and the OnStar post-collision safety system.
For owners of the 2009 GMC Acadia, downers include gas mileage that doesn’t seem up to the manufacturer's claims, poor visibility due to numerous blind spots, especially when backing up, reliability issues, and an over-abundance of cheap plastic in the cabin. However, these deficiencies are for the most part mitigated in the minds of most ’09 Acadia owners by its classy styling, roomy cabin, numerous safety features, functional interior layout, ride comfort, acceleration, perfect size, and car-like handling.
