What are your 2012 Goals??

Good morning everyone,

I stumbled across a great article this morning from USAA.  It was talking about the word, GOAL; what it means to make a goal and follow through with one. 

To me, this is a very important article that you should read because, even though its nothing new...if we don't take the time out to write down our goals, we most likely wont get there.  It is important to write down your goals and be accountable.  When you do that, you will succeed and be a very successful person.

Enjoy,

USAA - The Word Goal

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

2013 Malibu Engine Info

Just read this article about the 2013 Malibu and wanted to pass it on to you guys.
This article came from the blog Car and Driver.

What are your thoughts about eliminating the V-6 engine option and going with a turbocharged 4 cylinder?

A look into the Future

I just received an e-mail from my brother about a company called Corning and it had a video attached to it.  The key point to the e-mail was about the future and we are not that far off.  I watched the video and was stunned by it, it's a pretty cool video and here is the link for it: A Day Made of Glass. 
  
I hope we are not that far off; it is an interesting concept that I hope Corning is very close to achieving.  I wonder what this will do to the car industry and how GM approaches this concept.  Here is a link to Corning website: Corning Incorporated.

What are your thoughts about this?

Camaro ZL1 anyone?

Good afternoon,

   Just in case anyone is wondering about the 2012 Chevy ZL1 and it's price tag; it will be starting at $54,995.  Doesn't sound too unreasonable, right??  Considering it's horsepower and torque rivals Audi R8 GT, Maserati GranTurismo, and Mercedes SLS AMG (which those price tags are about twice to three times the ZL1).  Here is a nice article from GM, 2012 ZL1. 

2012 ZL1

  

   Who is excited about this new vehicle? I know I am!

Chevrolet's Ad Launch Chevy Sonic

   General Motors is definitely hitting the young Y generation group with the launch of the All-New Chevrolet Sonic.  If you go to the website www.letsdothis.com, you can personally click on the Sonic all the way until it falls 10 stories down in San Diego!  You heard me right, you can go on the Internet and each click brings it closer to the edge.  Now when it falls off, it is connected to a bungee cord which will not allow it to crash. 

   It is also tide into an online game mode where you can earn points for performing certain tasks.  This digital campaign mode is only for the first three months then the TV ads will pick up.  Now that is a nifty campaign.  It's something different, but cool in a way. 

Go check it out!

The Chevrolet Sonic has Arrived!

The buzz from Chevrolet has finally arrived at Eriks Chevrolet.  We can see why now.  When new vehicles come out, you can never tell how it is going to look until you see one with your own eyes.  Chevrolet did a great job on the Sonic Sedan. 

We at Eriks got our first Sonic, a 2012 2LT Sedan.  There is a Hatchback 5-dr version, but we will not get one of those for another month or so.  This one has the Connectivity Plus Cruise package: remote vehicle start, cruise controls, steering wheel controls, Bluetooth for phone, and USB port.  That package is a great addition for only $525.00. 

$17,290.00

The Chevy Sonic replaced the Chevy Aveo.  There are some characteristics between the two vehicles but the cool thing about this Sonic, is it is assembled out of Michigan, compared to the Aveo, which was assembled out of Korea.  That is a major plus.  The engine is the 1.8L, same as the base engine of the Chevy Cruze. 

Please stop in and take a look at it.

The First Chevy Camaro Convertible SOLD in Kokomo, IN

   When people first heard that Chevrolet was coming out with the Chevy Camaro Convertible, there was buzz that could be heard around the country.  Now it is here, the Chevy Camaro Convertible has arrived.  The first Camaro Convertible sold in Kokomo, IN was delivered today at 3:30 PM, March 4, 2011 by Tim Smith, one of our sales consultants.
  
Tim Smith sold the Camaro to Derrick Parson, a long time customer of Eriks Chevrolet.  It is a 2SS Victory Red with a black top, beautiful I might add.  This vehicle has 400 horsepower and 410 pounds of torque. 





Tim Smith handing the keys over to Derrick Parson,
a new Chevy Camaro Convertible owner.


   What intrigued you to the convertible? Derrick's answer was plain and simple, "it was a convertible".  Enough said, that will bring many people to the Chevy line of Camaros.  GM knew this and that's why it's here.  This vehicle is going to be a staple and a hot seller in the next couple of months and years to come. 

   So when you are out and about in Kokomo, and you see a red Camaro Convertible, you'll know that it's Derrick Parson.  "Take a victory lap around Kokomo, with the top down,"  Derrick said after he was asked what he plans to do now that he owns a Chevy Convertible.  Unfortunately as Derrick pulled away it was still raining, but as I finish this post the sun is starting to shine. I bet I know what Derrick is doing right now. Congratulations to Derrick and future Camaro Convertible owners. Spring time is arriving and soon it will be the summer.  Just think how much fun it'll be driving down the highway with the top down?  Priceless.


Derrick Parson, with his new Chevy Camaro Convertible.

GM Loyalty

This is just a friendly reminder that GM Loyalty ends 2/28/2011.  So head to your local Chevy Dealership (Hopefully Eriks Chevrolet) and see your friendly salesman (Mark Hemmerly).  I do not want you to lose out on $1,000 cash which could mean a difference of $20 a month on financing.  Think how much better $288 a month sounds than $308 a month.  It's a big difference and can be a deal breaker. 

If you are wondering about the terms and conditions, here is the link to my original post on GM Loyalty:

GM Loyalty is Back!!

What is GM Loyalty?  Well, it is a program that rewards past GM owners in helping them purchase/lease a new GM vehicle.  So current GM owners/leasees of 1999 or newer GM vehicles get the $1,000.00 discount.

What are GM vehicles?  They are: Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Saturn (Saab owners do not qualify for this discount).


All we need from you is a copy your registration of your 99' or newer GM vehicle.  It can also be transferred to a member of the household.  For example, you have a daughter that has an 01' Grand Prix but you (the parent) are buying the car and you drive a competitor's vehicle.  You still do get the discount because your daughter is in the household.

*Offer Expires 2/28/11
I hope you take advantage of this great offer,
