  • 12 February 2015:  2016 BUICK AVENIR: A spectacular Buick concept will be on review for the first time at a Chicago Auto Show, Feb. 14-22, 2015. Buick calls the prototype, “Avenir,” which is French for future. The Avenir serves as a test vehicle to explore new styling and advanced technology that may transfer to future production models. More than 100 designers, sculptors and fabricators at GM’s design studio near Melbourne, in Australia, and Buick’s North American design center, in Warren, Mich., contributed to the project. Avenir’s classic rear-wheel drive proportion and exterior design theme include Buick’s signature sweep-spear body side motif, taught lines, a long hood, short overhangs, wheels-at-the-corners stance, and a nod to the “boattail” styling of the 1971-73 Rivera. A striking new grille design features a large opening accented by a return to the three-color – red, silver and blue – Buick tri-shield insignia, accented by wing-shaped elements. The grille is flanked by bold headlamps featuring full LED lighting. Avenir’s sophisticated color palette, including a crystalline exterior color and strained use of bright work accent the Avenir’s body lines. Within the personal four-passenger cabin there is a color palette of light and natural tones blended with oiled and buffed wood trim and Galvano satin-chrome accents. There are driver-recognition features that automatically sync infotainment preferences and Buick IntelliLink with large, 12-inch diagonal color touch screen. Keeping the interior fresh is an ionic air filtration system. Suggested powertrain consists of the next-generation direct-injected V-6 engine with fuel-saving active fuel management that deactivates cylinders when not need, stop/start technology, and nine-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission. A twin-clutch all-wheel drive system is featured, as is driver-selectable suspension. This is a must see concept car at the 107th annual Chicago Auto Show.<br />

  • 12 February 2015: 2015 DODGE VIPER: A major attraction in the Dodge exhibit during the 2015 Chicago Auto Show is the Dodge Viper. Visitors are among the first to view the new Viper GT edition that is priced between the Viper and Viper GTS models. The ’15 Viper GT comes with driver-selectable suspension system and luxurious cockpit appointments that were previously only available with the top-tier GTS model price class. There are new interior color combinations for the Alcantara, Nappa leather and Laguna leather materials, including the all-new Demonic Red. Two new high-impact, show-car quality exterior colors are available for the 2015 GT and GTS models, Stryker Purple and Y’Orange. To further appoint the exterior are available stripes in Black Venom, Billet Silver, Bright White, Gunmetal Pearl and Adrenaline Red. There have been continuous refinements to the heart and soul of the Viper GTS, the 8.4-liter V-10 engine and Tremec six-speed manual transmission that have resulted in an additional five- horsepower – now 645 – and an additional mile per gallon (mpg) on the highway to 20 mpg. The exhaust system continues to exit forward of the rear wheels and carries further refinement with cast aluminum, sill-mounted exhaust bezels. Listening to consumers, Dodge revised the sixth gear ratio for the Dodge Viper models, resulting in reduced engine noise at highway cruising speeds. All ‘15 Dodge SRT Viper models carry LED tail lamps that integrate stop-and-turn illumination in one element. Snakeskin texture in the lens carries the surface work seen in the gills and hood textures. While at the Chicago show, Feb. 14-22, 2015, ask about the Viper TA (Time Attack) 2.0 Special Edition spec-package, which enhances the turn-key on-track set-up with more performance upgrades in three exclusive, limited-edition colors. Plus, there is new Dodge Viper GTS Ceramic Blue Edition Package with unique ceramic exterior paint color and a cabin outfitted with Alcantara and carbon fibe

Chicago Auto Show, Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois..2014 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY: Crowds will be swarming to the Chevrolet exhibit during the ten-day run of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show to be among the first to see the 2014 Corvette on display. Visually stunning, the '14 Corvette's sculptured, aerodynamic two-door hatchback exterior and track-capabilities is worthy of the iconic "Stingray" designation. This marks the seventh-generation of "America's Sport Car," and as the C7, goes farther than ever, thanks to today's advancements in design, technology and engineering. Matching the dramatic exterior is a new 6.2 liter (376 cubic inch) LT1 V-8 engine that pumps out 450 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear wheels. Consumers have their choice of a six-speed paddle-shift automatic or seven-speed manual gearbox with "Active Rev Match" that anticipates gear selections and matches engine speed for perfect shifts every time. Either way, we're talking 0-to-60 mph in less than four seconds. For 2014, the latest Corvette shares only two parts with the previous generation model. Underneath is an all-new frame structure and chassis that helped shift weight rearward for an optimal 50/50 weight balance. Lightweight features include a carbon fiber hood and removable roof panel; composite fenders, doors and rear quarter panels. Slide into the cockpit composed of premium materials, smaller-diameter steering wheel, standard dual, eight-inch configurable driver/infotainment screens and available color head-up display. There are two new seat choices - each featuring a lightweight magnesium frame. You can see the 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe in Chicago from Feb. 9th-18th, or wait until they roll into Chevrolet dealerships the third quarter of 2013.

For cool and contemporary, there is the Evoque "Pure," with aluminum alloy roof. Then there is the luxurious "Prestige" and the bold and sporting "Dynamic," with standard panoramic laminated glass roof. All models provide five passenger seating, while the coupe exclusively offers a package that uses individual rear seats, for a 2+2 cabin. When it comes to hauling groceries or sports gear, the Range Rover Evoque offers a wide, deep cargo area. With the rear seats folded, the five-door provides 51 cu.-ft. of space, the coupe slightly less at 47.6 cu.-ft. All Range Rover Evoque models are powered by a 2-liter, 240 horsepower direct-injected turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which is teamed to a six-speed automatic transmission and a full-time, intelligent four-wheel drive system. New this year is a revised front grille design that includes the black Land Rover logo, new contrast roof color as a stand-alone option, and to aid in exploring unmapped areas, Land Rover Off-Road navigation has been added to the Range Rover Evoque for 2013.
