2017 GMC Acadia Powertrain and Fuel Economy

The new GMC Acadia will be available with two powertrains: a new 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine equipped with stop-start technology will be standard, while an updated 3.6-litre V6 engine offering an estimated 310 horsepower will also be available on most models.

Read More…


2018 Chevy Equinox Powertrain Options

The 2018 Chevy Equinox will see several powertrain improvements compared to the 2017 Equinox model. These include a new base engine, an upgraded optional engine, and the first (and currently only) compact SUV in North America to be available with a diesel option. All of these powertrain options are turbocharged. Check below for more details on these models.

1.5-litre Gas Turbo

The new base engine on the 2018 Chevy Equinox will be a refined 1.5 turbo. Optimized for fuel-efficiency (thanks to features like direct injection) this engine should be able to deliver a fuel-consumption rating as low as 7.6 L/100km on the highway with front-wheel drive. This engine will offer a GM-estimated 170 horsepower.

2.0-litre Gas Turbo

This four-cylinder turbocharged 2.0-litre promises to deliver the capability of the previous year’s V6 engine, with increased fuel-efficiency. This engine will be rated for 252 horsepower and be able to trailer up to 1,585 pounds (which is a match for the 2017 Equinox with the V6). This engine will also be able to offer 8.4 L/100km on the highway.

1.6-litre Turbo-Diesel

The all-new 1.6-litre turbo-diesel on the 2018 Equinox combines the fuel-efficiency of diesel power with premium torque, power, and technology like stop-start. This engine has an estimated output of 136 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, and has a GM-estimated fuel-consumption rating of just 5.9 L/100km on the highway.

Buick Avista Awards for Stylish Innovation

We previously wrote about the Buick Avista concept car that made its debut at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), but we have even more exciting news now! In the month since that debut, the Avista has begun raking in honors for its sleek style and commanding presence. Keep reading to learn more about Buick Avista awards.

Buick Avista Wins EyesOn Design Award for Excellence

The first award that the Avista took was the EyesOn Design Award for Design Excellent in the Concept Car segment at NAIAS. With its sweeping, elegant lines, futuristic interior, and powerful twin-turbocharged V6 rated for 400 horsepower, the Buick Avista is everything that we hope to see in the grand tourers of the future. And, apparently, everything that the EyesOn Design Folks were looking for as well.

This was the second time that in a row that Buick has taken home the EyesOn Design Award for a concept vehicle. The first time was for the striking Avenir, which debuted last year at NAIAS.

Awards won by the Buick Avista concept car

Buick Avista Named Best Future Concept

In addition to impressing the judges at NAIAS, the Buick Avista also impressed standard car enthusiasts. It took the Detroit News’ Reader’s Choice award for “Best Future Concept.”

In a Buick press release, Bryan Nesbitt, executive director of global Buick design, said that that this people’s choice award was especially valuable. “Because Avista represents the future essence of Buick design,” he said in a recent Buick press release, “an award decided by consumers is a great vote of confidence.”

The previous Buick Avenir concept car brought visual concepts that migrated into other cars like the 2017 Buick LaCrosse. We can’t wait to find out what parts of the Buick Avista will transfer into future Buick vehicles.

New Chevy Air Intake on Diesel Heavy Duty Trucks

2017 Chevy Silverado HD Diesel Technology

We have just heard our first snippet of information about the 2017 Chevy Silverado and it’s extremely exciting. We have already been impressed by the capability and fuel efficiency of the Duramax diesel engine on the 2016 Chevy Colorado. With the new model year, 2017 Chevy Silverado HD diesel technology will be making a giant step forward with a new air intake system.

Read More: How Does Diesel Exhaust Braking Prevent Brake Wear? 

With the new Chevy air intake on heavy duty trucks, Silverado drivers will be able to confidently drive and tow even more. The new system works by drawing relatively cool air in through a top intake, forcing it through filters and systems to remove any excess water, and then streaming it efficiently to the engine. With this refined air intake, the Duramax diesel engine on 2017 Silverado HD models should be able to hold onto power and speed better under many conditions, including heavy rain or highway slush.

There is no news yet on a Canadian release date for the 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500HD, be we are excited about his new advanced air intake, which may also be appearing in the 2017 GMC Sierra Denali.

Other Advanced Chevy Technology

This new air intake is far from the first technological advance that will be available on Chevy models. In addition to new technology like a refined 10-speed transmission that was just release for the 2017 Camaro, Silverado heavy-duty models have previously enjoyed advances in digital steering, and advanced trailering camera systems. This new air intake on the 2017 Chevy Silverado HD is just the latest example of Chevy brilliant engineering, and its determination to always push to the front of automotive excellence.

Car Colour Options

How to Choose a Car Colour?

When buying a new vehicle some people don’t think much about the colour they choose. Some just choose their favourite colour or they pick at random. Instead, you should take careful consideration before choosing. Today we’re going to take a look at just how to choose a car colour.

What vehicle colours prevent theft?

There are some studies out there that suggest that car theft has a correlation with car colour. A vehicle is typically less likely to be stolen if it isn’t a mainstream colour. Thieves tend to pick cars with popular colours. The best colours choices to avoid theft are red, orange, brown and green.

What colours are cooler?

If you dislike coming back to a hot car in summertime, there are a few options that will be cooler. These vehicles include cars that are lighter in colour. So if you want to keep your vehicle at a cooler temperature choose a white or silver vehicle instead of black or dark green.

What car colour requires more maintenance?

Some colours show more dirt and wear than other colours. Typically, the darker the colour, the most obvious any scratches or swirls will be. Dark reds or dark metallics show more wear and tear where lighter colours like silver or gray show less.

Choosing a car colour is a lot more complicated than it seems. You have to compromise and decide which benefits are most valuable to you. No matter what colour you decide on, you will be able to find it here at Craig Dunn Motor City. All of our vehicles like the 2015 Chevy Cruze or 2015 GMC Sierra come in a wide range of colour options. Schedule a test drive today to see which one is the right fit for you.

Help People Displaced By The Alberta Wildfires

As you know, devastating wildfires in Alberta have forced thousands of people to evacuate from their homes, especially in the Fort McMurray area. While dry conditions have also started fires in Manitoba, we haven’t seen nearly the same devastation as those evacuating in Alberta. General Motors has pledged to help the relief effort, and we wanted to put together a post offering ways to help people displaced by the Alberta wildfires.

Donate to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Fires Appeal

The Red Cross is already offering aid to those who have evacuated, and, as of posting, all individual donations are being matched by the Canadian government. If you would like to make a donation you can go to www.redcross.ca, call 1-800-418-1111, or contact your local Canadian Red Cross office.

Where Can I Find Emergency Resources?

If you are evacuating, the Alberta government has provided a page with information ranging from the locations of evacuation and reception centres, to how to be reunited with your pets or find your vehicle if you have had to abandon it. A full list of resources is available on the Alberta government website.

OnStar Crisis Assist Available for Alberta Refugees

All current OnStar customers in Fort McMurray area able to take advantage of the OnStar Crisis Assist system. Customers can contact emergency services by pressing the red SOS button in the OnStar control area in their vehicles. The OnStar in-car services are available in most new Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC vehicles.

Here at Craig Dunn Motor City our hearts and minds are with the people of Alberta affected by the wildfires. We plan to support them however we can, and hope you can join us in that effort.

Flashback Friday: Chevy Camaro Celebrates 50 Years

Today’s Flashback Friday is going to be something of a celebration of both the past and the present. Here at Craig Dunn Motor City, we believe that anniversaries are worth celebrating. The Chevy Camaro celebrates 50 years of muscle car elegance this year, so we are looking at a few of the incarnations that have made this model stand out over half a century.

First Generation

The public, craving speed and style for the drag racing wars of the late 60s, fell in love with the First Generation Camaro (1967-69). One of our favorites cars is the performance-optimized 1967 Chevy Camaro Z28 (pictured).

Second Generation

From 1970 to 1981, the Camaro lost horsepower (because of new automotive emissions restrictions) but it gained a lower center of gravity and wider base, which made its handling a dream. Pictured: The 1979 Chevy Camaro Z28.

Third Generation

The Third Generation (1982-92) offered a refined suspension with enhanced track handling. It also marked the advent of the 1LE track pack and a Motor Trend Car of the Year awardPictured: 1992 Chevy Camaro Z28 Convertible.

Fourth Generation

A redesigned front fascia and performance enhancements make the 1993-2002 Camaro stand out. The 1998 model finally achieved the high engine outputs that had been lost to tightened emissions standards. Pictured: 1998 Chevy Camaro SS.

Fifth Generation

After a seven-year hiatus, the Camaro returned looking closer to the sleek muscle car we know today. This model was a top seller, and also earned the honor of being an Indianapolis 500 Pace carPictured: 2010 Chevy Camaro SS.

Sixth Generation Camaro

Now we come to the modern era of Camaro elegance. With new, award winning engine options, and the latest technology like the all-new 10-speed automatic transmission in the 2017 Chevy Camaro ZL1, the newest Camaro generation is already making a powerful and confident statement. We can’t wait to see where this confident vehicle will drive to next. Check out our new Camaro inventory today.
