The Ultimate Hybrid SUV
June 15, 2009 by jcme · Leave a Comment
The GMC Yukon is, for many families, the ultimate in transportation. It features enough space for just about any family out there, and it can tow a camper or look great parked for a night out on the town.
Of course, all of that luxury, size and power comes at a price. The GMC Yukon is far from the most fuel efficient vehicle on the road. However, beginning with the 2008 model year and continuing in 2009, GMC has offered Yukon fans a way to save at the gas pump: with the GMC Yukon Hybrid.
There was a time, of course, when hybrid cars were small and aerodynamic. Eventually, you would find a mid sized sedan or maybe a compact SUV that featured a hybrid engine. Today, however, you can go green with one of the biggest vehicles on the road.
the GMC Yukon hybrid relies on a 6.0 liter gas V8 engine that is supported by two electric motors. The yukon can actually go up to 30 miles per hour on electric power only, giving a 21 mile per gallon fuel rating in city driving.
The GMC Yukon Hybrid is similar to a regular Yukon in all of the way sthat matter. It can seat 8 people and offers around 109 cubic feet of space for cargo. As always, this Yukon comes loaded. It can even tow up to 6,200 pounds.
If you want a full size powerful SUV and want to still lessen your carbon footprint, get to your Conshohocken GMC dealer today.

Crossover GMC Offers Top Fuel Efficiency
June 1, 2009 by jcme · Leave a Comment
When you think about SUVs from GMC, the first thing that comes to mind probably isn’t fuel efficiency. While GMC trucks and cars are well built, reliable and stylish, they haven’t always been the best at the gas pump. However, the all new GMC Terrain for 2010 is changing all of that.
The new Terrain takes the rich GMC history of engineering excellence and applies it to a smaller, more fuel efficient package. This vehicle gets an amazing 32 miles per gallon on the highway, and yet has all of the capability you’ve come to expect from GMC.
The 2010 GMC Terrian comes with a 2.4 liter four cylinder engine with direct injection. The vehicle veatures a special “ECO” mode that can be activated using a button on the console. What this does is to lower the torque converter lockup speed, which in the end helps to save fuel.
And, of course, the vehicle has plenty of standard equipment. There is a rear-vision camera, power liftgate, Bluetooth connectivity, and much more including USB audio connectivity.
If you’re looking for a crossover SUV that won’t break the bank at the gas pump, consider the 2010 GMC Terrain. Your GMC dealer near Springfield can help you find just the right one for your needs.
Pontiac History

History of the Pontiac Brand
Pontiac is one of the brands in the General Motors Family. Pontiac holds many of GM’s performance vehicles, including SUVs and sporty cars.
The Pontiac brand began in Pontiac, Michigan, in 1907. It started out as the “Oakland Car Company of Pontiac, Michigan.” It was founded by a man named Edward Murphy. In 1909, General Motors acquired Oakland. By 1926, Oakland produced its first Pontiac vehicle. The car was known as the “Chief of the Sixes,” named so for its six cylinder engine, and it debuted at the 1926 auto show. The car was so successful in terms of sales that the “Oakland” was dropped from the name, and from then on it was just Pontiac.
During the 1930s and 40s, you could find a variety of Pontiac cars, from wagons to coupes to sedans, in the low to mid price range. One of the more interesting things about the period was the “Silver Streak.” This was a set of chrome lines that ran from the length of the hood up to the base of the windshield.
In the 1950s, the Pontiac Bonneville appeared. This car was a hit, to be sure. In 1964, however, Pontiac made a huge impact with the release of the GTO option for its “Tempest” line. This included V8 engine, and was truly the first “muscle car.” Also during the 1960s, Pontiac released the Firebird as well as the Trans Am.
In the 1970s, Pontiac began to make smaller cars. Pontiac released the Fiero, a two-seater sports car, as well as the compact Ventura and the Phoenix. In the 1990s, Pontiac released new vehicles like the Montana minivan, as well as the Sunfire.
Today, it looks like the doors are closing on Pontiac. Pontiac’s rich history reminds enthusiasts that the Pontiac car will live on, at least in our memories.
The Pontiac Experience
May 11, 2009 by Adam · Leave a Comment
As the sun sets on the Pontiac brand, it’s hard not to get at least a little bit nostalgic. Pontiac fans of all ages think back to those first Pontiac vehicles they saw on the road, and how that sleek style and performance left a mark on their lives. Maybe it was the GTO, cruising down the strip as a teenager. Maybe it was Burt Reynolds in the Trans Am from the movies. Maybe it was simply your first car – a used Grand Am that you drove until it just quit. Looking forward, Pontiac enthusiasts will have to search hard in order to fill the void left behind by this brand. General Motors doesn’t really offer a brand that encompasses the performance and style that was so closely associated with the Pontiac name. Still, there is always hope that, whether it’s under the GM moniker or not, that the Pontiac brand will one day return.
When To Get A New Pontiac
May 4, 2009 by Adam · Leave a Comment
Unless you are the type of person who goes through a new car every two or three years, chances are you’re going to drive your Pontiac vehicle for some time. There’s a point, however, at which you should definitely consider trading in your old reliable ride for a new Pontiac. Knowing when to get a new Pontiac can sometimes be tricky, and it varies from one person to the next.
Many families simply outgrow their existing vehicle. That Pontiac Vibe may have been nice when it was just you, your spouse, and one small child, but now with number three on the way it might be time to think about something bigger and better. The opposite is true, too; if your nest has become empty, you might not need to drive that Pontiac SUV.
For most people, it’s a good idea to try to get a new Pontiac before the old one loses all of its value. For example, if your old Pontiac needs repairs that are more than its trade-in value, it’s probably time to look for a new model.
Your local Pontiac dealer can help you get your new Pontiac. Come see us today.
