Convenience Comes Standard!

Convenience is something we all look for in a vehicle and now, Buick has taken this one step further with standard connectivity! The ability to stay connected, while exercising safety and following the rules of the road, has become a desired and sometimes costly feature in a vehicle. Well, we have exciting news to share with you, as Buick makes the announcement that all 2015 models will have standard hands-free connectivity with Apple Siri Eyes Free and text message alerts. Additionally, most 2015 models will also include a built-in Wi-Fi Hotspot, powered by OnStar with 4G LTE, a feature that will be standard next year on all 2016 models.

Using the Buick IntelliLink system, drivers are able to experience the convenience of a text message alert feature with a Bluetooth profile (M.A.P), which reads incoming texts through the vehicle’s speakers.  The Siri Eyes Free feature works with iPhone 4s or later and must operate with iOS 6 or later.  Whether you want to place a call, find directions, music, or hear and compose text messages, Siri is your go to vehicle companion for connectivity and peace of mind.

Available on the Buick LaCrosse, Verano, Regal and Encore for the 2015 model year, OnStar’s 4G LTE with built in Wi-Fi creates a mobile hub for passengers.  The hotspot is accessible whenever the vehicle is on or in accessory mode.  Owners are provided with a 3 Month/3GB data trial with the option to purchase additional data plans later.

Chevrolet unveils the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible

When the 2014 Corvette Stingray was unveiled earlier this year at the Detroit Auto show, we were all left wondering – What about the convertible Stingray? When will it make its’ debut?

Our minds were put to rest today as the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible was unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show.Stingray Convertible 1

The convertible Corvette Stingray comes with almost everything you would find on the coupe version. The only notable changes are limited to accommodating the folding fabric top and repositioned seatbelts. Unlike other convertibles, the top can be dropped at speeds of up to 50km/hour. The key fob can also be used to raise or lower the top remotely.Stingray Convertible 2

“The convertible has been a part of the heart and soul of Corvette since the very beginning in 1953,” said Ed Welburn, General Motors  Vice President of global design. “With the all-new Corvette Stingray, we designed and developed the coupe and convertible simultaneously. As a result, the Corvette Stingray offers an open-top driving experience with no compromise in performance, technology or design.”Stingray Convertible 3

If the Stingray Corvette wasn’t enough already, the convertible takes it another step higher.  We can’t wait to see it out on the open road.

Isaac Mizrahi’s “Malibu Collection”

When you hear fashion design and cars, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Most of us might have trouble drawing a connection between the two, but for designer Isaac Mizrahi it was “Inspiration”!  Moved by the all-new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, Mizrahi has created a limited edition clothing and accessory line aptly named “The Malibu Collection”. 

Appealing to the modern day woman, Mizrahi and Chevrolet feel that the 2013 Malibu is the perfect fit for “smart, fabulous women”, and that it gives a “new approach to everyday style!”  Mizrahi describes the Malibu as a vehicle with a “soft touch, chic and elegant streamlines, similar to those in fashion.”  He was also quoted saying “one of the things I was inspired by was a blue light that emanates from the dashboard, it’s just sexy” and that the Camaro inspired “tail lights look like little jewels.”

To promote this unique and advantageous relationship, Chevrolet has created an interactive Facebook page.  One of the more interesting features of this page is the Polyvor mini editor styling tool.  It allows you, the consumer, to create your own Malibu inspired mood board, which can be shared with your friends.  Chevrolet has also created a series containing 50 videos, featuring Mizrahi and his muses, as he ventures across the United States in his new Malibu.  Along the way he stops in 4 major cities: New York, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles.  Below are two of the videos that have been released thus far.

Many of you may be asking, where are we able to purchase the “Malibu Collection?”  Keeping with the social online approach of this campaign, “The Malibu Collection” will be exclusively sold on the Living Social website.

As women, we know that it is often difficult to juggle the action packed lives we lead, so why not do it in style!  Visit us at Queenston on Centennial or Queenston on the Mountain and see what the new redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu has to offer you!
