cadillac elevates ctS Sedan PRESS RELEASE
Cadillac’s all-new 2014 CTS sedan ascends into the heart of the midsize luxury market with expanded performance, elevated luxury and sophisticated technology. The third-generation CTS sedan is based on the high-performing rear-drive architecture of the award-winning ATS sport sedan, moving Cadillac into the prestigious class of midsize luxury sedans. It will be the segment’s lightest car, enabling the most agile driving dynamics in the class. A range of power-dense powertrains underpin its performance, including the all-new Cadillac Twin-Turbo engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. “The all-new 2014 Cadillac CTS sedan delivers crafted design, thrilling performance and sophisticated technology,” said Bob Ferguson, vice president, Global Cadillac. “The car that has always been Cadillac’s centerpiece stretches figuratively and literally to challenge the world’s best.”
Styling
A longer, lower and more athletic-looking proportion is introduced on Cadillac’s landmark sedan and evolves the brand’s Art & Science
Turbo V-6 and eight-speed automatic transmission combination leads the CTS sedan’s powertrain lineup in the new CTS Vsport. It is the first twin-turbocharged engine ever offered by Cadillac and is the brand’s first eight-speed automatic. The Cadillac Twin-Turbo is SAE-certified at 420 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most power-dense six-cylinder engine in the segment. A pair of smaller turbochargers helps provide more immediate power on demand, with approximately 90 percent of peak torque available from 2,500 rpm to 5,500 rpm.
technology
The all-new 2014 Cadillac CTS has a bold new look to go with its new place as a world performance leader. design philosophy. While growing five inches in length, including a 1.2-inch longer wheelbase, the roofline and cowl – the base of the windshield – are about an inch lower, dimensions that complement the longer exterior to accentuate the car’s lean aesthetic. “With Cadillac growing globally, driven by rising product credibility, the new CTS elevates the brand to a new level,” said Ferguson. While stretched in overall length and wheelbase, the all-new CTS sedan has a
lower curb weight than the preceding model and weighs about 200 pounds less than the BMW 528i. Lightweight features, including Cadillac’s first aluminum door structures, contribute to the lower weight and a nearly 50/50 weight balance. And for the first time on CTS, Magnetic Ride Control, Cadillac’s realtime damping system, is available on base models. Cadillac’s shield grille and signature vertical lighting elements – including LED front signature lighting
detail – evolve on the CTS. The grille is wider, with a more detailed texture, while the headlamps flow up with the hood line, incorporating crystalline LED light guides for a technologically advanced appearance with more uniform illumination. Active grille shutters are included on some models, improving aerodynamic performance on the highway to enhance fuel efficiency. Inside, a roomier, driver-centric cockpit interior with integrated technology
and hand-crafted appointments complements the exterior and supports the CTS sedan’s driving experience. Eight available interior environments are offered, each trimmed with authentic wood, carbon fiber or aluminum. Leather seating is available, including available full semi-aniline leather, with hand-crafted, cut-and-sewn executions.
Performance The new Cadillac Twin-
The CTS sedan seamlessly blends comfort, convenience and safety technologies with the interior’s hand-crafted appointments and flowing design. Active safety features provide alerts and intervene when necessary to help avoid crashes. At the core of the car’s intuitive technologies is CUE, Cadillac’s infotainment system that uses smartphone- and tablet-influenced controls and commands to access information and entertainment data. An eight-inch, high-resolution color touch screen with haptic feedback allows users to swipe and drag preferences.

Buick and the LED lighting elements enhance its technologically advanced presence.
B
uick’s new 2014 LaCrosse represents an evolution of the landmark luxury sedan that established the brand’s modern sedan lineup with design leadership and technological innovation. The full-size LaCrosse offers new interior and exterior design cues, advanced safety technologies and enhanced in-vehicle connectivity. New front and rear styling, featuring available signature wing-shape LED daytime running lamps and LED wraparound taillamps, complements its sculpted exterior design. The interior is more contemporary, with new seats, enhanced materials, redesigned central instrument panel and console – and an all-new, available Ultra Luxury Interior Package. The cabin also incorporates Buick’s next-generation IntelliLink infotainment system, with intuitive controls and natural voice recognition.
Technology
New radar- and camera-based safety features help surround the new LaCrosse with protection. They include Lane Change Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Automatic Collision
inTerior
While the LaCrosse’s new interior brings more amenities and enhanced personal technology with next-generation IntelliLink, it does so with greater simplicity. The new center stack radio controls, for example, have only seven buttons vs. the previous 17. The large, eight-inch color touch screen is designed to be easier to operate with intuitive controls and smartphone-influenced swipe recognition for easier navigation. Dualzone climate controls also feature capacitive-touch operation and are framed in chrome.
The Buick LaCrosse gets a revised look and dramatically updated cabin for the 2014 model year. Preparation. GM’s patented Safety Alert Seat works with many of these features, providing seat vibration pulses indicating the direction of a potential crash threat. Full Speed Adaptive Cruise Control is also offered. It senses traffic in front of the LaCrosse to adjust vehicle speed, including bringing the vehicle to a complete stop and accelerating again. “We evolved the interior and exterior design, increased luxury amenities and materials, and
enhanced the safety and personal technologies to give customers more reasons than ever to rediscover Buick,” said Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president of Buick Marketing.
PoPulariTy
Globally, LaCrosse sales have exceeded 500,000 since its 2009 introduction and U.S. sales topped 57,000 in 2012, making it more popular than many other full-size luxury sedans, including Lexus ES,
Acura TL and Lincoln MKZ. The 2014 LaCrosse is offered in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models and offers two powertrains: a 2.4L engine with eAssist light electrification technology (FWD only) or a 3.6L direct-injected V-6 (FWD and AWD). Each is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. All models feature Buick’s QuietTuning engineering process that reduces, blocks and absorbs unwanted noise from the LaCrosse’s cabin, making it one of the
quietest in the segment.
Design
LaCrosse’s flowing, sculpted styling helped redefine Buick’s design language at its introduction in 2009. The 2014 LaCrosse introduces a more expressive interpretation of that successful design, with elements and cues that enhance the car’s well-planted, wide stance. The LaCrosse’s new appearance is instantly recognizable as a modern
Power
The LaCrosse is equipped with a choice of two efficient engines: the standard 2.4L four-cylinder engine with e Assist light electrification technology, rated at 182 horsepower; and an available 3.6L V-6 rated at 304 horsepower. Both are mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. LaCrosse with eAssist uses a lithium-ion battery system and electric motor-generator to enable regenerative braking capability.

new gmC is innovative, tough T
he all-new 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 full-size pickup is the most powerful, most advanced and most refined truck in the brand’s 110-year history. Sierra’s bold new exterior houses one of three all-new EcoTec3 engines, a fully updated cabin with available next-generation IntelliLink connectivity and other features designed for the most discerning truck owners. “Our engineers and designers left nothing on the table when developing this latest Sierra pickup,” said Tony DiSalle, vice president of GMC Marketing. “These trucks have all the power and capability that’s expected in today’s market, excellent fuel efficiency, plus a lot of unexpected, purposeful features developed with truck owners in mind.” In addition to all-new design and technology, the 2014 Sierra boasts the longest list of standard features ever for a full-size GMC pickup. From connectivity solutions, to a standard tiedown system in the rear, to the segment’s only standard projector beam headlamps, many premium features are found on each and every all-new Sierra.
Power
Sierra’s engine portfolio is updated for 2014 with the goal of increased in power, torque
reach. All knobs are coated using a rubber-over-mold technology, so they’re easy to grip even through gloves. A new instrument cluster on all models features six gauges with an available centrally located, 4.2-inch color Driver Information Center with vehicle status information, a trip computer, and other information, like radio and navigation. Updates to Sierra’s body and chassis are designed to improve ride and handling, comfort and capability. The fully boxed frame uses highstrength steel and hydroforming to provide more strength and rigidity with less weight.
Cargo Box
The GMC Sierra is all-new for 2014, offering lots of new innovations and a more refined driving experience. and fuel efficiency across the board. There will be a 4.3L V-6, a 5.3L V-8 and a 6.2L V-8 offered, all from a shared EcoTec3 engine family. Each engine features standard direct injection, continuously variable valve timing and Active Fuel Management, which means they seamlessly switch to run on four cylinders during light-load driving to save fuel. The increased power and efficiency of the new engines are the result of more than 10 million hours of sophisticated computer
modeling, more than half of which were used to make the best of the combustion process. The new 4.3L V-6 EcoTec3 engine will offer improved torque and towing capacity for the six in 10 truck owners who tow.
Brakes
Strong brakes are important for stopping trucks, whether they’re full of people, payload or both. The 2014 Sierra features fourwheel disc brakes with
Duralife brake rotors, which feature a hardened and strengthened surface to reduce corrosion. Duralife rotors – a GM-exclusive technology – are expected to last twice as long as conventional rotors and provide quieter braking with less vibration.
refinement
Premium materials, attention to detail and purposeful technology define Sierra’s all-new cabin. New soft-touch materials and
available aluminum trim line an interior that’s focused on usable and productive space. “Truck owners want a well-crafted cabin, but also one that still feels like a truck,” said Helen Emsley, Sierra interior design director. “They want a purposeful interior, not one that’s flowing like you’d find in a car or crossover.” Sierra has an upright instrument panel designed for visibility and accessibility. Knobs and buttons are large, legible and within
Sierra’s rear bumper features standard corner steps that make climbing into the bed easy, regardless of whether the tailgate is up or down. The steps are paired with grips formed into the top of each bed side. Four movable upper tie downs are also standard. They can be placed in nine different locations and can bear a 250-pound load. Available LED cargo lights integrated beneath the bed rails will illuminate the bed when a tonneau cover is in place. The available EZ Lift and Lower tailgate uses an integrated torsion bar and damper to ease lifting and lowering.

2014 MERCEDES CLA-CLASS
Brand new CLA-Class launched
M
ercedes-Benz is expanding its lineup with the all-new 2014 CLA-Class. The new four-door coupe is a style rebel that takes its design cues from the CLS, whose design concept has inspired more than its fair share of imitators since its debut in Detroit in 2003. This brand new vehicle features world-leading aerodynamics, avant-garde coupe design and is available with 4MATIC all-wheel drive. With its frameless doors, the four-door coupe seamlessly carries the design of the Concept Style Coupe into series production. The new model features COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST as a standard feature. At speeds above 4 mph, this radar-based braking system is able to warn the driver of obstacles and to anticipate braking force when the driver steps on the brake pedal.
STYLE
“The response to the Concept Style Coupe was overwhelming. The most frequent comment by far was ‘Please put this car into series production.’ That’s precisely what we are doing now,” notes Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management for Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars. “The CLA is a car that does not confuse ‘mid-size’ with ‘mid-quality’. Its sporty design underscores the sporty side of the MercedesBenz brand.” The sporty CLA comes with a powerful turbocharged engine generating 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, as well as sport suspension and available 4MATIC allwheel drive. The technical highlights of this new design icon include a new world record in aerodynamics for series production automobiles (Cd value: 0.23) and a wide range of driver assistance systems,
including advanced COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST. This radar-based assistance system provides the driver with visual and acoustic warnings of identified obstacles and primes Brake Assist for adaptive braking. Brake Assist is initiated as soon as the driver steps hard on the brake pedal. When the system identifies a risk of collision, COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST calculates the precise braking force ideally needed to avoid an accident and makes the best possible use of any distance remaining. Adaptive Braking Assist activates at speeds of just 4 mph and gives trailing vehicles as much time as possible to also react accordingly and avoid another accident. There are four special equipment packages and a series of standalone options for individualizing the striking compact fourdoor coupe (length/width/height: 182.3/80.0/56.6 inches). In keep-
The Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class has the sleek style and sophistication of the CLS in a smaller, more efficient package. ing with the digital lifestyle of the CLA’s social media-savvy target group, smartphones can also be fully integrated into the vehicle’s display and operating system via mbrace, which is standard equipment.
INTERIOR
The exterior’s progressive, sporty appearance also carries through to the vehicle interior. Anthracite surface finish is available as the standard trim. Additional trim options include burl walnut wood, black ash wood and aluminum.
The instrument panel incorporates five air vents. The outer rings of the vents are done in a high-quality galvanized finish, while a galvanized insert controls the direction of airflow. The free-standing display is set in black piano-lacquer trim and edged with a flush-fitting silver frame.
HANDLING
The CLA’s running gear features McPherson strut suspension at the front and independent multilink suspension at the rear. Three control arms and one trailing arm at each of the rear wheels enable
longitudinal and transverse forces to be handled separately.
TECHNOLOGY
The latest generation of multimedia systems in the CLA provides a wide array of functions, apps and graphics. Like all models in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the CLA comes with the brand’s acclaimed connectivity service mbrace2, providing users with an extensive range of online and concierge services and apps all linking seamlessly to smartphones for use inside and outside the car.

2014 SUBARU FORESTER
All-new Forester introduced
S
ubaru of America, Inc. recently introduced the allnew 2014 Forester, the fourth generation of its popular all-wheel drive crossover SUV. The 2014 Forester debuts a bolder exterior design and roomier interior, along with improved performance and higher fuel economy across the line. The five-passenger 2014 Subaru Forester is a total re-design of the acclaimed crossover SUV that’s built a strong reputation for safety, performance, dependability and versatility. With virtually the same footprint as the outgoing model, the 2014 Forester offers expanded room, comfort and utility. A new 250-horsepower 2.0-liter direct-injection turbocharged BOXER engine leads the line, which will also include models powered by a 170-horsepower
2.5-liter naturally aspirated BOXER engine. As with all previous Forester models, the 2014 version comes standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a distinction from competitive models that come with frontwheel drive as standard and offer all-wheel drive as an extracost option. The 2014 Forester will jump to the head of its segment in all-wheel drive fuel economy, with the 2.5i models with the CVT achieving manufacturer-estimated fuel economy ratings of 24 mpg city / 32 mpg highway / 27 mpg combined.
NEW DESIGN
The 2014 Forester combines evolutionary design themes with sharply defined new details in an all-new body. The 2.0XT models feature an exclusive
aggressive looking sport design front bumper along with a onepiece mesh style grille and chrome-rimmed fog light bezels. Vehicle length is increased by just 1.4 inches, and width by 0.6in., yet thanks to Subaru’s mastery of efficient vehicle packaging, the 2014 Forester offers notable gains in roominess, particularly in the rear seat, where legroom is now 41.7 inches. Higher seat hip points, a lower center tunnel and shorter front console also provide greater legroom and comfort for the center rear seat passenger. Maximum rear cargo area room with the 60/40 split rear seatbacks lowered is now 74.7 cu. ft., which is among the best in class.
LINEUP
The 2014 Forester 2.5i model will be available in base,
The all-new 2014 Subaru Forester introduces a new generation of comfort, performance, handling and safety.
Premium, Limited and top-line Touring versions. The turbocharged Forester 2.0XT will be offered in the Premium and Touring versions. The 2.5i models offer a choice between a new 6-speed manual transmission and the Subaru Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) that is also used in the Subaru Impreza®, Legacy® and Outback® models. A hightorque version of the CVT is standard in the Forester 2.0XT models, where it features
6-speed and 8-speed manual shift modes with steering wheel paddle switches. High-line 2014 Forester models equipped with the CVT also feature new X-Mode control for the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Hill Descent Control to provide extra control in certain driving conditions. New safety features for all 2014 Forester models include anti-whiplash front seats, a driver’s knee airbag, Brake Override and an impact-sensing fuel sys-
tem cutoff. For all 2014 Forester models, a new Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) system contributes to fuel efficiency and also provides excellent feedback to the driver. In addition to the turbo engine, the 2.0XT models deliver sharper handling responses from a sport-tuned suspension with 18-inch wheels, and the 2.0XT also features larger brakes than the 2.5i models, with ventilated front and rear rotors.

safer than Ever
tEchnology playing biggEr rolE in 2014 cars
S
afety is one of the biggest concerns of new-car buyers, especially those who regularly drive with children in the vehicle.
There’s good news for 2014: today’s latest cars are adopting more technologies than ever before to keep their occupants safe. Here’s a look at a few of the features that are available this year:
the blind spot. Blind spot monitoring uses radar sensors to detect when a car is in your blind spot, the place a driver can’t see in their rear-view mirrors. On most of these systems, a light will show up in your side mirror when there’s a vehicle in your blind spot. And if you signal to change lanes while a car is there — making your car sense that a collision might be imminent — many of these systems will also issue an audible alert.
bacKup caMEras
This isn’t a particularly new technology, but it is getting widespread use in 2014. Rear-view video cameras are now standard equipment on a wide range of vehicles, most commonly SUVs and crossovers because of their size, but also some smaller sedans, too. These rear-view cameras can help drivers see what’s below the bumper and behind their car when backing up, making them a must-have safety feature for many buyers.
rEar cross-path DEtEction
This feature addresses a weakness of video cameras: their often narrow field of vision. When drivers rely too much on video cameras when backing up, as opposed to their own eyeballs, they can’t always see cars driving toward them on the horizon. Rear cross-path detection senses when cars are driving toward you when you’re in reverse, even if those cars are outside the field of vision for
actiVE saFEty
photo courtesy of ford
rear cross-path detection is designed to alert the driver when cars are approaching from the sides, where rear-view cameras often can’t see clearly. your camera. It gives an audible warning to let the driver know there’s an oncoming vehicle nearby.
lanE DEparturE Warning
A nice feature for drivers who may be distracted or sleepy, lane departure warning will alert you if you veer outside of your lane. Video cameras in the front of the car will look for stripes in the road,
and if the driver appears to be leaving their lane without signaling, the car will give a warning. On most cars, this is just an audible beep, but a few will also produce a vibration in the steering wheel or seat to get the driver’s attention.
blinD spot Monitoring
This feature addresses the nightmare of student drivers everywhere:
Unlike passive safety features like air bags and seat belts that protect you after a collision has occurred, active safety features are all about taking steps before the crash happens. Some luxury-car brands, like Mercedes-Benz, have been pioneering this technology for years, but it’s filtering down to more affordable cars now. Many vehicles offer forward collision warning sensors that will set off an alarm — usually lights and sounds from the dash — if they detect you’re going to hit a car in front of you, with the goal of getting the driver’s attention at the last second. Other cars will do things like lock the doors, pre-tension the seat belts, prime the brakes, or even apply braking pressure automatically if it senses a wreck is about to occur.

WELD CAR DEALERS REVEL IN GOOD SALES, GOOD TIMES
I
t wasn’t too long ago that many people wondered if the domestic car market would make it. The big auto makers were seeking government loans to survive, they shuttered factories and laid people off throughout the nation.
By Sharon Dunn sdunn@greeleytribune.com Now five years later, the car market is back, and local dealers say they are having one of their better years. Ghent Chevrolet Cadillac, as an example, is experiencing its best sales year on record — all while undergoing a complete overhaul of the dealership worth more than $1 million. The dealership re-opened the doors last week, after seven months of construction to add 5,000 square feet to the building at 2715 35th Ave., revamping the customer lounge, office, parts and service centers. Amid the dirt and dust, and working out of trailers, new car sales grew 87.5 percent, Ghent said. “(This year) is the best year ever in our history, going back to 1988,” said Bob Ghent, who also was just named the Colorado nominee for the national TIME Dealer of the Year award. “There was a lot of pent-up demand caused by the 2008 financial crisis in the auto business. We are reaping the benefits of that pent-up demand. Also, I would attribute a lot to my staff and the people that work for me. We just have a great team in place right now.” Statewide, Cadillac registrations were up 13.9 percent for the year and Chevrolet was up 8.8 percent, according to the Colorado Automotive Dealers Association. But those were far from the state leaders. Dodge led the brand pack, increasing 51 percent for the year, followed by Ram at 33.2 percent. Pickup sales are leading much of the way for the Dodge and Ram brands, said Tim Jackson, president of CADA. “What we’re seeing is all the pickups, especially Ford, Chevrolet and GMC and Chrysler, which is the Ram truck, are all having phenomenal sales trends,” said Jackson said. “But Chevrolet and Ford are couched inside other numbers so percentage-wise, they’re not up the way Ram is.

well, and part of it is because of the oil and gas growth, and part is general construction or small business utilization. When new home construction increases, so does pickup sales.” In Colorado, new car sales were up 12.5 percent through September, compared to the same time last year and used car sales were up slightly year to date at 3.1 percent, according to the Colorado Automotive Dealers Association’s monthly report, which measures the numbers based on vehicle registrations. But local dealers are celebrating the rebounding northern Colorado economy. On the import side, some brand sales are struggling somewhat, even though demand is up, Jackson said. “They’re having trouble getting product,” Jackson said. “Now, a lot of the major brands like Ford, GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Nissan and Honda, and especially Subaru, are having trouble just keeping up with demand. “In the downturn they consolidated factories and shuttered some factories,” Jackson said. “Now that sales are increasing, they’re having to figure new ways to build product.”
In August, Ford, as an example, added a third shift to its assembly plant in Claycomo, Mo., to keep up with growing demand for the F150. Statewide, import registrations grew as well as the domestic brands, but perhaps not as much. Subaru grew 28 percent; Mitsubishi registrations grew 22 percent, and Honda grew 15 percent. Wes Tabor, owner of Honda and Hyundai of Greeley, said his Honda sales matched the state number of 15 percent, but his Hyundai dealership grew about 2 percent to 3 percent. Statewide, Hyundai sales suffered, dropping 10.7 percent. Tabor attributed the northern Colorado growth to a growing economy. “I think that this area got hit pretty hard by the recession and people are opening their checkbooks a bit,” Tabor said. “We’re fortunate to have Honda and Hyundai, which are great.” He said new offerings should be a springboard for 2014 sales. “We have a new 2014 hybrid Accord that’s come out, and we haven’t had one in five years,” Tabor said. “The manufacturers are committed to the hybrid,
and committed to efficient, clean-burning vehicles.” Toyota registrations grew 5.9 percent through September. Kia was one of the few brands where sales have slumped this year, falling 12.8 percent in registrations statewide. Steven Taylor, owner of Peak Kia, 1111 Southgate Drive, Windsor off of US. 34 and Weld County Road 17, said he’d love to have at least 75 more cars on his lot. “We’re up in September over ‘12, but a lot of our lack of volume is lack of product. They just can’t build them fast enough,” Taylor said. “Kia has grown so fast, they’re adding new dealers, and they just can’t build them fast enough.” Taylor said used car sales on the Kia lot have grown substantially, contrary to state registrations for September that show minimal growth. “Used cars are up more than new,” Taylor said, “by probably 30 percent. … I know for our sister store in Denver, the used car business is up dramatically, so I don’t know who is off. September so far is our most profitable month of this year.” Ghent, too, says used car sales are doing well at the Chevrolet lot, up 22 percent from the same time last year. Independent used car dealers say they’re holding their own, experiencing steady sales, with not a ton of the growth they saw a few years back during the financial crisis, when people struggled so much in the downturn that buying new cars was an idea shelved for better times. “I wouldn’t say they’re booming, but they’re moving in the upward direction from what they were two three years ago, said Curtis Coffin, owner of Advantage Auto Brokers, 6175 10th St., in Greeley. “The economy in Greeley is fairly strong with oil and gas.”

CarGAZING 2014 Chevrolet 2009 XXXXXimPala
Chevrolet reinvents an icon C
hevrolet completes the transformation of its North American passenger car lineup with the introduction of the allnew 2014 Impala. The redesigned flagship sedan builds on the strong heritage of the Impala nameplate by offering expressive style, a more-refined interior, easyto-use technology, and what is expected to be an exhilarating driving experience. “The 2014 Impala re-establishes this iconic Chevrolet nameplate as a design leader, with bold styling that will turn heads for years to come,” said Mark Reuss, president, GM North America. “The team has also delivered the comfort, safety, fuel efficiency and technology that will strengthen Impala’s leadership in the highly competitive full-size sedan market.” The all-new Impala goes on sale in early 2013 as the 10th generation of one of the industry’s most enduring – and popular – nameplates. Impala was America’s best-selling full-size sedan in 2011, with sales of more than 171,000, which also made it one of the 10 best-selling cars overall in the United States, along with Chevrolet Malibu and Cruze. “This all-new Impala delivers on our promise that every new car that wears the Chevrolet bowtie will embody the pioneering
fabric, Ultrasuede and perforated leather appointments, complement the quiet environment and give the Impala a substantive look and feel.
safety
The 2014 Impala offers a comprehensive suite of standard and available safety features. It employs advanced technologies – including radar – to help avoid crashes. Visual and audible alerts help drivers identify potential crash situations and even intervene when a crash threat appears more imminent.
Power
The Chevy Impala is one of the most enduring nameplates in America, and it’s all-new as a 2014 model. spirit that has defined the brand for more than a century.” said Chris Perry, vice president, global Chevrolet marketing. “With the striking new design and the right mix of comfort, technology and efficiency, we have recaptured the magic that attracted millions of consumers to the Impala nameplate for decades.” Designed on an award-winning global platform, the 2014 Impala introduces new levels of comfort, refinement and technology.
Design
The 2014 Impala brings a new aesthetic to Impala that honors the cues that have helped distinguish the classic nameplate for decades. “Our design team was challenged to create a new classic, but that didn’t mean relying on nostalgia,” said John Cafaro, director of North America passenger car exterior design. “This is very much a contemporary car, with design elements, craftsmanship and attention to detail that comple-
ment its advanced technology and performance.” The Impala’s long, low proportion has a windswept profile that suggests motion, while the range of 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheels is tailored to the body to provide that “just right” stance.
Comfort
The 2014 Impala’s comfort and refinement are rooted in a stronger body structure, designed to foster a quieter passenger envi-
ronment and a greater overall feeling of quality. The stiffer architecture also enabled engineers to tune the ride and handling more precisely, for a greater feeling of control and comfort. A comprehensive package of sound-absorbing, sound-suppressing and even active noise cancellation (on four-cylinder models) contributes to the 2014 Impala being Chevrolet’s quietest full-size sedan ever. Premium materials throughout the interior and details such as high-quality
Impala’s three powertrains all feature fuel-saving direct injection and lightweight components. — Impala’s Ecotec 2.4L engine works with the eAssist system to provide electrical assist in certain conditions to help save fuel. It is estimated at 182 horsepower and is expected to achieve 35 mpg on the highway. — The Ecotec 2.5L is part of a new family of four-cylinder engines developed with increased efficiency and greater refinement. It is estimated at195 horsepower. — Output for the 3.6L V-6 is estimated at 303 horsepower.

2014 Ram Heavy Duty: Ram still king of capability STORY AND PHOTO COURTESY OF CARGAZING
R
am Truck brand offers the most capable heavy-duty pickups in the segment — the 2014 Ram Heavy Duty line features a list of bestin-class titles in the segments number one purchase reason, capability: ▷ Towing – Up to 30,000 pounds with Ram 3500 ▷ Towing – Up to 17,970 pounds with Ram 2500 ▷ Payload – Up to 7,320 pounds with Ram 3500 ▷ Power – 850 lb.-ft. of torque with 6.7liter Cummins ▷ Power – 410 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of
torque with all-new 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 ▷ Capacity – Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) of 37,600 pounds with Ram 3500 Pricing for the new 2014 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty starts at $29,600, plus $1,095 destination. The 6.4-liter HEMI option is priced $1,495 greater than a similarly equipped 5.7-liter HEMI-powered Ram Heavy Duty pickup and is the first gas engine available in the dual rear wheel 3500. “You only need to look down the road to understand the Ram Heavy Duty customer SEE 2014 RAM | Page 64

and the capabilities that are required,” said Reid Bigland, president and CEO for Ram Truck Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “The 2014 Ram Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 allow you to move more weight than any competitor while enjoying best-in-class ride and handling.” Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty trucks also add new innovation, including an all-new, five-link coil suspension with optional air suspension on Ram 2500 and a supplemental air bag suspension option on Ram 3500.
ENGINEERING Heavy-duty trucks generally have suspension equipped for constant, heavy payloads. This can result in a harsher ride when unloaded. Ram innovation leads again for 2014. The new Ram 2500 takes lessons learned from the Ram 1500 and adds an all-new, segment exclusive five-link coil rear suspension system for bestin-class ride and handling and new air suspension system. The exclusive five-link coil design provides better articulation over obstacles than a leaf spring system, and the robust coil springs are more than up to the task of handling the loads required of a Heavy Duty Ram 2500 — up to 17,970 pounds for towing. The 2014 Ram 2500 also will offer a segmentexclusive rear air suspension system. An air bag replaces the coil spring, much like the Ram 1500. For 2014 Ram 2500 offers gooseneck (centerpositioned ball in the bed) or fifth wheel capability. Ram is unmatched in terms of offering the most complete ‘hitch ‘n go’ towing prep package found anywhere in the heavy-duty category. Additionally, Ram features an in-box
connection junction, and a standard Class 4 and 5 receiver hitch with a four and seven pin connector on the bumper. Ram offers two different dual alternator systems on the 2014 Ram Heavy Duty providing additional power for higher electrical loads from commercial vehicle upfits and accessories. New for 2014, Ram Heavy Duty models, equipped with the Cummins 6.7-liter diesel engine, will offer dual 220-amp alternators (best-in-class 440 amps). Both the Ram 2500 and 3500 equipped with the new 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 gas engine also will offer a dual-alternator system – the first gas-driven application of its kind in either class – that combines 220- and 160-amp units for 380-amps of total best-in-class output.
POWERTRAIN With Chrysler Group’s all-new 6.4-liter HEMI V-8, the 2014 Ram Heavy Duty will deliver to best-in-class horsepower and best-in-class torque among pickups with gasoline engines. Engineered to deliver capability, durability and bang for the buck, the largest displacement V-8 in its class provides a worthy gas-powered option to the segment’s overall standardbearer – the 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel. Compelling numbers tell the story of the new 16-valve engine with 410 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and a peak torque rating of 429 lb.-ft., at 4,000 rpm. Other engine options include the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, standard equipment for the Ram 2500 and 3500 (SRW). The engine produces 383 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and generates peak torque of 400 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm. The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 is mated to a 66RFE six-speed automatic transmission. ❖

Tractors and Combines NEW HOLLAND T8 SERIES TRACTORS, 273 TO 389 MAX ENGINE HP: STATUS QUO HAS PLACE ON YOUR FARM 68-decibel, whisper-quiet cab is the most spacious in its class and offer uninterrupted 360-degree visibility. Optional Comfort Ride cab suspension ensures the smoothest ride even on the roughest terrain.
MAXIMUM VERSATILITY
N
ew Holland DNA runs through ever aspect of the new T8 Series, which means you’ll notice a number of unique farm-raised features that make you and your operation more productive. Power, fuel efficiency, stability and maneuverability are all rolled into this one-of-a-kind tractor line. There’s no need to compromise when you own a T8 Series tractor.
MORE POWER AND PRODUCTIVITY Every T8 model boasts the new performance of News Holland’s EcoBlue Tier 4 engine solutions. Cursor 9 Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) engines not only reduce emissions, they breathe clean, fresh air for optimal combustion and significant performance advantages. All models benefit from Engine Power Management, which offers more power demanding PTO, hydraulic and transport applications, with up to 50 horsepower extra on the T8.390.
ABSOLUTE DRIVING PLEASURE New Holland’s SideWinder II armrest make the T8 Series intuitive to operate for reduced fatigue. You immediately recognize key functions with controls that are perfectly placed for fingertip control. The
T8 tractors defy the status quo with revolutionary long-wheelbase design. New T8 tractors feature the longest wheelbase in the industry for a smooth and stable ride, yet the new sculpted frame design makes them among the most maneuverable tractors in this class. Built to suit heavy tillage applications. T8 tractors are also ideal for secondary cultivation, drilling, spreading and transport applications. The fully integrated front hitch and PTO option allows you to work with a full range of front-mounted implements for added versatility.
LOWER OPERATING COST Operating costs for the new T8 tractors with EcoBlue have been reduced by 10 percent when compared to existing Tier 3 models — even when the cost of AdBlue Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is taken into account. This is thanks to cutting-edge SCR technology, improved fuel efficiency and long service intervals.
EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE HOOD A T8 tractor’s rated power is only part of the story. With Engine Power Management, T8 tractors develop more torque and power as they are put under load. To know the true power that’s under the hood of your T8 tractor, just look ON the hood. The three digits after “T8” refer to the maximum horsepower with Engine Power Management. You get peace of mind knowing your T8 tractor will be able to cope with even the most demanding applications. — Information courtesy of New Holland

2014 Chevrolet Silverado: Truck is stronger, smarter STORY AND PHOTO COURTESY OF CARGAZING
N
ew from hood to hitch, the 2014 Silverado 1500 is engineered to be stronger, smarter and more capable than ever before. Among the hundreds of improvements, large and small, are: ▷ A trio of all-new EcoTec3 engines, a V-6 and two V-8s ▷ A stronger, quieter and more comfortable cab ▷ A refined new interior with features and connectivity tailored to the needs of truck customers ▷ Revised steering, suspension and brakes for improved ride and handling
▷ Ingenious solutions for managing cargo in the bed. Even with all of the improvements, the base prices for all three configurations of the 2014 Silverado 1500 — regular cab, double cab, and crew cab — carry over from 2013. Buyers of all 2014 Silverado 1500s also will receive a standard scheduled maintenance program for two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. Silverado crew cabs with the available 5.3L EcoTec3 V-8 will begin reaching Chevrolet dealers in May. The manufacturer’s suggested retail prices for crew cabs start at $32,710, including a $995 destination freight charge —

the same as the 2013 model. “When you combine the innovative features of the new Silverado with base pricing equivalent to 2013 models and standard scheduled maintenance, Silverado becomes a great choice for pickup customers, helping them save money when they buy — and when they drive,” said Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for Silverado.
EXTERIOR
Silverado’s exterior design blends strong Chevy truck heritage with a refined, modern aesthetic. The new design is more muscular, more functional and more aerodynamic. A twin-port grille, full-width bumper and dual power dome hood create a strong presence, which is carried through in sculpted body sides and fender flares. The new Silverado design is about much more than just looks, however. The new front end is engineered to improve sealing for more efficient cooling, while the roof and tailgate spoiler were shaped in the wind tunnel to smooth airflow over the truck for reduced drag. New inlaid doors, which fit into recesses in the bodyside, reduce wind noise for a quieter cab.
INTERIOR
The all-new interiors of the 2014 Silverado 1500 reflect the same focus on form and function. The upright instrument panel, six-gauge instrument cluster and multiple storage options are tailored specifically to the needs of truck customers. Controls are functional, logically placed and easy to operate with work gloves on. Rear doors on crew cabs are larger, for easier entry and exit, and rear doors on double cab models are now hinged at the front for easier access, especially in tight spots. The new Chevrolet MyLink provides easyto-use connectivity for the job site or the family vacation, with natural voice recognition and enough ports and power outlets to support multiple devices.
RIDE
The chassis of the 2014 Silverado includes a number of customer-focused updates. A revised front and rear suspension and wider wheels provide a more comfortable ride and more confident handling. Electric power steering improves steering feel and reduces fuel consumption. New four-wheel-disc brakes with Duralife rotors improve brake feel and potentially double rotor life. Silverado will be available with segmentexclusive safety features such as Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning with an Active Safety Seat, and Front and Rear Park Assist. StabiliTrak with Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist are standard on all Silverados.
CARGO
The pickup box also benefits from this focus on providing Silverado customers with the right tools for the job. Silverado’s CornerStep bumper, combined with handholds built into the new box rail protectors, makes it easier to access the box. The bed is also available with new upper tiedown hooks, under-rail light-emitting diode lighting, and an EZ Lift and Lower tailgate. ❖
