Chevy Impala, Traverse Make KBB.com's 12 Best Family Cars

BAY CITY, Mich.– Today's ideal family car isn't a minivan or SUV or sedan, it's all of the above. Families today have varying needs when it comes to vehicle seating, space, and in-car entertainment which is why Chevrolet is dedicated to developing vehicles of all sizes that are functional for families. That dedication is what landed the Chevy Impala and Traverse on Kelley Blue Book's 12 Best Family Cars of 2014 list!

Earning a spot on Kelley Blue Book's list of the 12 Best Family Cars is especially honorable because real families helped to select the winning vehicles. Input from contributing families on which vehicles were best suited for a family was combined with extensive tests and reviews on each vehicle, to narrow down 21 top-ranked vehicles to the list's 12 winners. Based on ratings in areas like safety, comfort, driving performance, room for child seats, cargo space, rear-seat entertainment, and other family friendly features, the Chevy Impala and Traverse made KBB.com's 12 Best Family Cars list for 2014!

OnStar RemoteLink App Sees Record Number of Remote Starts

OnStar RemoteLink App Sees Record Number of Remote Starts
BAY CITY, Mich.– We're going to state the obvious here...this winter has been one of the most miserable we've seen in years with records lows and snow totals, and we're all still freezing cold. But, some are staying warmer than others thanks to the OnStar RemoteLink App which saw a record number of remote starts this winter!

In the type of arctic weather that we have seen this winter, a remote car start can be your saving grace. It looks like a lot of people quickly realized that as soon as temperatures plummeted, because the OnStar RemoteLink App saw a record number of remote start requests! Just this past January, the app was downloaded more times than any previous January on record, and two significant records followed for remote start and vehicle data requests through the app. On January 7th a single-day record was set with more than 200,000 requests sent across all GM brands, followed by a single-hour record set on January 28th with over 20,000 requests! Notably, compared to the owners of any other GM vehicle, Chevy Cruze owners used the app the most, making 2,909,674 requests through the app, 55 percent of which were for remote start!

Ready to download the app? With OnStar's RemoteLink mobile app you can use the remote start feature to start up your car no matter where you are. Your vehicle will remain locked until you turn the key in the ignition. Plus, you will also have access to your vehicle's diagnostic information through the app so you can easily check the tire pressure or oil level to make sure your vehicle is running smoothly. Just make sure your OnStar subscription is up to date in order to take advantage of the convenient app!

While we hope this is the last of the cold weather, the RemoteLink application is beneficial in hot and humid weather as well, cooling your vehicle off before you get inside. Stay warm and get ready for a fresh start this spring by visiting our Midland Area Chevrolet Dealership today, and we can help you learn more about our new cars, Used Car Loans, and Certified Pre Owned Cars For SaleHank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706.

Chevrolet Reaper Revealed

Chevrolet Reaper Revealed
BAY CITY, Mich.- The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado is already one of the industry's most capable trucks, but a new collaboration is taking the truck to a whole new level! At the recent National Automotive Dealers Association convention, Lingenfelter and Southern Comfort Automotive revealed the 2014 Chevrolet Reaper, changing the face of performance trucks for good!

While in the past there hasn't been much variety in the performance truck segment, GM engine tuner Lingenfelter and custom truck shop Southern Comfort Automotive have joined forces to change the name of the game. The project started with the 2014 Chevy Silverado and then took a turn towards intimidating with an angry-eyes look achieved through a new grille and hood, high clearance bumper, integrated flood light system and front skid plate. But the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Reaper revealed it's about more than just looks. This truck is capable of just about anything including high-speed off-road challenges, thanks to the Fox racing suspension system and 20-inch Beadlock wheels.

Last but not least, the Reaper wouldn't be considered a performance truck if it didn't have something impressive under the hood! Equipped with a Lingenfelter supercharged V8 engine, the 2014 Reaper boasts an impressive 550 horsepower! And you better bet all that power doesn't come free! The 2014 Reaper will set you back $50,000-$60,000!
