We mentioned earlier that Buick recently made the Consumer Reports’ top 10 automotive brands, and now Buick is being recognized again. This time, Consumer Reports awarded the Buick Regal top sports sedan. This is another huge boost to the Buick brand. They are proving that they are getting better and better at making vehicles that appeal to a variety of drivers.

It is rare for an American car to win the category of beat sports sedan, but the Buick Regal has impressed drivers as well as Consumer Reports. The Buick Regal has impressive capabilities combined with innovative safety and technology features and high quality comfort and design. It comes standard with a 2.0L engine that provides 259 horsepower and available all-wheel-drive. It is responsive, agile and fuel efficient, which are all the things you want in a midsize luxury sport sedan. The Buick Regal is not only well-equipped, but it’s also affordable.

Consumer Reports evaluated a variety of aspects to reach their conclusion. They looked at safety, performance, comfort, fuel economy, reliability and more. Reliability is based on information directly from consumers. Based on 1.2 million vehicles in their latest subscriber survey they tracked how models held up by evaluating what kind of repairs were being done. There repairs ranged from engine, transmission, and brakes to power equipment and the electrical system. Based on all of these categories, the Buick Regal won best sports sedan option.

If you are interested in learning more about the Buick Regal, schedule a test drive today at Craig Dunn Motor City in Portage la Prairie. See for yourself what other drivers and Consumer Reports are already loving about the Regal. If you are looking for a midsize sedan, this might just be the car for you!

Welcome the Buick Avista Concept Coupe

Buick Avista Concept Coupe Release Date

Many of the concept cars that make their debut at events like the North American Auto Show will never appear on the lot, yet the edge, elegant, and just plain cool features that they offer often do tranfer into new vehicles. For example, the elegant design-language of the Avenir concept last year was carried into the 2017 Buick LaCrosse. That is what makes us even more excited about the sleek, elegant, and somewhat dangerous-looking Avista Concept making its debut at NAIAS, that we can speculate on what we will see on the lot carried over from this design.

New Buick Inventory

Buick Avista Concept Coupe Release Date

Again, we have not idea when an incarnation of the 2+2 Buick Avista will actually arrive on the lot here at Craig Dunn, but you can bet that we are excited about the possibilities. The lean form of the Avista implied power precision, while the technology under the hood means that it will still maintain traditional Buick elegance and ride quality.

Wide View of the Buick Avista interior

Buick Avista grille style

The entirety of the Avista is sleek, but the grille makes us especially excited. Featuring the new Buick winged, three-shield insignia over a dark three-dimensional mesh backgrounds, this concept offers a new intriguing look.

The Buick Avista rides on 20-inch aluminum wheels with accents that match the Dark Sapphire exterior and chrome-accented front fender vents. It looks long, lean, and fast even when standing still.

Buick Avista interior design

The interior of the Buick Avista concept is maximized for passgener and driver engagement. A large touchscreen in the center consule allows easy control of the cutting edge IntelliLink system, and futuristic chair design offer comfort without compromising on edgy feel.

The seating is Mist Gray leather, with a subtle fading pattern inspired by ocean waves. Quiet Tuning, advanced noise cancellation, and Magnetic Ride Control for instantly adjusting suspension mean comfort as well as engagement.

The Buick Avist concept is powered by a twin-turbocharged concept 3.0-liter V6 engine equipped with cylinder deactivation and stop-start fuel saving technology.

New vs Used Cars

New Cars vs Used Cars in Portage la Prairie

When you are looking at buying a car, one of the biggest decisions you will have to make, is deciding between buying new or used. This can be a complicated conclusion to come to. There are many benefits to both of these options, especially when you come to Craig Dunn Motor City. Let’s take a closer look at new cars vs used cars in Portage la Prairie.

Benefits of Buying Used

One of the main advantages of buying a used car, is the that they are more affordable with a lower initial cost. If you have a strict budget, you might want to consider buying a pre-owned vehicle. Another advantage of buying a used vehicle is the amount of options that are available to you. When you are shopping for a used car, a lot more cars will fall under your budget. Most dealerships have a variety of used vehicles from different years, automotive companies and more. The choice is completely up to you!

Benefits of Buying New

While buying used has its benefits, so does buying a a brand new vehicle. New vehicles have the benefit of, well, being new! When you buy a brand new vehicle, there are far less maintenance costs especially in the initial years of owning it. It will also have warranty coverage to help if something does go wrong. When you buy a brand new model, you will also have the benefit of getting the best and latest features available. For example, many new GM vehicles at Craig Dunn Motor City have the option of 4G LTE Wi-fi. You won’t be able to find this feature on any used vehicle.

As you can see there are many benefits to buying both new and used vehicles. The decision is up to you and your needs as a driver. No matter which you choose, Craig Dunn Motor City can help get you on the road. We have a wide selection of new and used vehicles right here in Portage la Prairie. Take a look at our vast inventory and schedule a test drive today!

Light a Spark with Chevy!

2016 Chevy Spark Release Date

New vehicles come out each year to improve or expand on already popular models. No vehicle is ever perfect the first time and automotive brands understand that. That’s why brands like Chevy strive to improve its models every year. This year, Chevy is revealing the 2016 Chevy Spark release date. The Chevy Spark is a popular compact car and has received a few updates for the 2016 edition.

Chevrolet recently announced that the new 2016 Chevy Spark will make its world premiere on April 2 at the New York and Seoul auto shows. This compact hatchback is still hidden in shadows until this big reveal. The production model was spotted in Korea last month, but few features are known. GM has teased that this edition of the Chevy Spark is more mature than the previous model with a more sophisticated look. The heart of the Spark will still be recognizable, it just has some added refinement.

The 2016 Chevy Spark is said to have a sleeker and more aerodynamic profile. The Chevy Spark has evolved since it first joined the Chevy lineup. Chevrolet has sold more than .1 million Sparks around the world since it went on sale in 2009. The Spark is particularly attractive to your first-time car buyers because it is affordable and compact.

Here at Craig Dunn Motor City, we can’t wait to see what the 2016 Chevy Spark has to offer. If you are interested in learning more about the current and future Chevy lineup, visit us at Craig Dunn Motor City in Winnipeg MB. We also encourage you to check back here often for more Chevy, GMC and Buick news. We will let you know when the 2016 Chevy Spark hits our lot and what other drivers think about it. We will let you know everything there is to know about new Chevy, Buick and GMC models.

2016 GMC Sierra Release Date

Now is the time of year when Chevy, GMC and Buick are revealing their new 2016 models. Some of these models are complete redesigns, while others just feature a few minor, but impressive upgrades. Sometimes it can be difficult to determine what exactly has changed, but Craig Dunn Motor City is here to help. We’re going to be taking a closer look at the 2015 GMC Sierra release date and when you can expect it to arrive here in Winnipeg MB.

2016 GMC Sierra Highlights

The Sierra is a very popular model for GMC. It is a full-size pickup packed full of power. Previous models have left a lasting impression on drivers and we think the 2016 model won’t be any different. This time around GMC has paid special attention to exterior styling with added elements. These features include:

  • LED “C-Shaped” signature daytime running lights
  • LED Headlights
  • New front fascia and grilles for each trim level
  • New LED fog lamps
  • New Bumpers
  • New “C-shaped” LED taillights

UPDATE>>Check out the 2016 GMC Sierra Elevation Edition!

GMC also released a 90 second video (below) that gives an upclose look at the GMC Sierra and its trim level options. The video shows the new Sierra at the GMC testing facility in Milford, Michigan. It shows the 2016 GMC Sierra Denali, 2016 GMC Sierra SLT and 2016 GMC Sierra All-Terrain. This exciting video shows a detailed look at the new front fascia and grilles for each vehicle.

Even though there isn’t much information about this new model just yet, these images and little details have really added to our excitement! The 2016 GMC Sierra will be available in the fourth quarter of this year and we will have more information and details as the release date gets closer. Check back here often at Craig Dunn Motor City to learn more about upcoming vehicles and when you can expect them to arrive in the Winnipeg area.

Buick Announces the Avenir Luxury Sub-brand

Avenir Luxury Sub-Brand Release Date

We’ve heard plenty about gorgeous Buick concept cars (like the Avenir and the Avista) that have been making their debuts at car shows around the world, but now we have learned that these beautiful works of automotive engineering won’t merely be concepts that eventually add flare to other vehicles. Instead, with the Avenir luxury sub-brand release date, those already in love with premium Buick quiet driving and luxury will have an even more elite option.

Read More: Buick Avista Wins Concept Car of the Year Award 

Avenir Luxury Sub-Brand Release Date

We don’t yet have a solid release date for the Avenir luxury sub-brand but several sources have marked it as a 2018 model year vehicle. Whether that means a release date in the early- to mid-2017 year (like the 2018 Chevy Equinox), or something closer to the start of the 2018 calendar year, it’s hard to say.

This sub-brand will be the top-of-the-line option for customers looking for premium Buick quality. Like the Denali brand on GMC trucks and SUVs, the Avenir will offer customers a new level of luxury.

(Pictured Below: Images of the 2015 Buick Avenir Concept Car that inspired it all)

What Can You Expect on an Avenir Luxury Vehicle?

The Avenir sub-brand will offer unique appearance and luxury touches like a three-dimensional mesh grille, larger wheels, a sculpted elegant design and a new level of interior luxury.

“Through the first half of 2016, Buick has been the industry’s fastest-growing major international brand, and Avenir is key to future growth and delivering on the high expectations of new customers coming to our showrooms,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick Sales, Service and Marketing, in a recent Buick press release. “Avenir will be Buick’s signature. The highest expression of the luxury experiences we’re delivering now and in the future.”

We believe that the Avenin sub-brand will be available across North America, in both Canada and the United States. For more information on whether or not Craig Dunn Motor City will offer Avenir models, please contact a member of our sales team.

Late summer is here, and with it comes announcement season. We finally get to see what new models GMC, Chevy and Buick have for us in 2016, and the wait has definitely been worth it. One of the vehicles that has a big chunk of our attention is the 2016 GMC Canyon diesel. We’re going to take a closer look at the specs and highlights of this new model, as well as the 2016 GMC Canyon diesel release date.

2016 GMC Canyon diesel highlights

The Duramax diesel engine of the 2016 GMC CanyonThe GMC Canyon has long been an excellent truck, and the addition of a diesel engine promises to only improve fuel efficiency and make an already fantastic vehicle better. The new 2.8L Duramax diesel engine featured in SLE and SLT Crew Cab models promises to deliver on horsepower while also being the cleanest diesel truck engine ever for a GM vehicle. Representatives of GM have said that the long-term plan has always been to make the Canyon available with a diesel engine, and now that time has arrived. Completely designed for trucks, this new Duramax engine smoothly fits into the Canyon frame.

Other highlights of the 2016 GMC Canyon diesel:

  • Smart diesel exhaust braking, previously seen on the 2015 Sierra HD, helping to maintain an even speed on downhill stretches while using cruise control

How to throw an American-style Super Bowl party in Canada

What do I need to throw a Super Bowl Party?

Snacks

The first thing you’ll need for a successful Super Bowl party is snacks, and you’ll need a lot of them. They don’t necessarily need to be homemade though. Pizza, burgers, wings and a variety of appetizers are a good first step to throwing an American-style Super Bowl Party.

Drinks

You’ll want to make sure you have a variety of drinks available if you’re trying to throw an authentic American Super Bowl Party. Soda and water are necessities, but feel free to have your guests bring their own alcoholic beverages to save yourself some money.

Football-themed decorations

One of the most important parts of throwing a true American-style Super Bowl party is having a bunch of football-themed decorations. You’ll definitely want to be sporting a jersey, but it’s not necessary for the jersey to belong a team that’s playing in the game.
