2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

Born to dominate the track, the iconic Chevrolet Corvette GS (Grand Sport) roars to life from its plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky.  The 2017 Grand Sport carries on the racing spirit of the 1963 model, combining the power of the legendary LT1 6.2L engine with a lightweight, race-bred chassis and aerodynamics package that provides incredible grip and handling.
2017-chevrolet-corvette-grand-sport-mo-masthead-1480x551-01You can see and feel what the GS excitement is all about with a visit to the friendly folks at Huffines Chevrolet Plano.  You'll quickly realize why this Corvette is a favorite and a head turner with its handsome wide and assertive stance like a Cheetah. 
The taut mix of steel and aluminum looks darn right menacing with its classy bold styling that only a Corvette wears; so much for getting away unnoticed.  This Corvette looks great as it expresses its character every bit as much from the front to the rear.  You might notice that the Grand Sport is a little wider than a standard corvette and as wide as the brutish Z06.  The GS also shares its body panels and suspension setup along with huge carbon-ceramic brake rotors with the Z06.  All these goodies are hidden under its sharp looking aerodynamic exterior along with its awesome engine. 
When you slide into those very sturdy and comfy sporty seats for that very enjoyable test drive and fire the GS up, you'll know and hear you have something very powerful living under the long and stylish hood.  It is the popular 6.2-liter V8 fitted with its own dual-mode exhaust system.  This V8 will unleash 460 anxious thoroughbreds with 465 lb-ft of asphalt gripping torque.  You'll experience that the acceleration is blistering quick and handling is pinpoint.  The Corvette GS will let you realize it knows what it is doing.  So just sit back and enjoy the ride. 
Side view of the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport sports car drivingWith the different drive modes, you can take a leisurely drive through the country and then test out the curves or if you prefer some track work.  Whatever you choose, this GS has more than enough brake, cooling, suspension and tires to handle the situation.  Talking about tires, the standard Michelin Pilot Super Sports are road worthy, long lived and have an enormous amount of grip that keeps you and your Corvette planted to the highway. 
Another great thing about owning a Grand Sport is that it will not break the bank yet you get so much back in value.  Go ahead and find out why a Corvette has the highest rating in owner satisfaction per Consumer Reports.

King for a Day

Imagine if you could be king for a day.  Ok, let’s back up a minute.  What if you were just the most popular person at your company or school.  What if you were the most talked about person in your neighborhood or city.  Most of us would never know that feeling.  Now imagine a car company that has created a car that would surpass just being a vehicle to get you from point A to point B.  A legend of sorts.  That is the case with the Chevy Corvette.

On June 26, 2008, the U.S. House of Representatives declared June 30 as National Corvette Day.  Why June 30 you ask?  Well June 30 1953 was the day the first production Corvette rolled off a Flint Michigan assembly line.  Why a Corvette?  It is the most widely respected produced sports car in United States History and is a symbol of American pride.  These are all examples of the lofty praise heaped on the truly iconic Corvette.

 It has also been deemed the most talked about car on the internet.  According to Motor1, the latest Swoop Digital Brand Exposure Index compiled data from the most far-reaching depths of the internet to see which car and which brand are the most talked about on the internet.  The winner of course was the Chevrolet Corvette.  The Corvette has a huge following all across the U.S. and with some of their newest offerings, it is easy to see why.

Why Chevys Make the Best Pre-Owned Cars

Chevrolet dealers do a lot of business in pre-owned cars. When you're looking through new and used cars, Chevrolet's value and price point gives you a lot to consider. Whether your top priority is finding the right model to drive your family around or you're most concerned with getting a used car at a great price, Chevrolet dealers have your interests covered.
There are incentives for pre-owned cars
Chevrolet dealers like to see every Chevy have a long life on the road. Shopping for used cars on finance can limit your options at other dealerships. Chevrolet offers deals like 1.9% financing for 36 months on many of their certified pre-owned vehicles. You can even get a limited warranty on many of their cars.
Popular models lead to plenty of options
The Suburban has been a top selling Chevrolet for years. If you have a large family or regularly need a lot of storage space, the Suburban is a superb choice. You can have your pick of make and model at many Chevrolet dealers. 

The Camaro is another very popular model. You can choose the year, mileage, and even have some choice over the color. 

Both the Suburban and the Camaro are making room for the car that proves Chevrolet innovation is still going strong: the Chevy Volt. These electric/gas cars are growing in popularity and winding up on the pre-owned market while still in fantastic condition. The Volt characterizes the innovation and forward thinking of GM. It's also shaping into a very popular pre-owned car as current owners upgrade to the newer models.
GM certified
The GM certified limited warranties are the best thing in used car shopping. GM spells out exactly what you get with them, and aren't afraid to stand by the cars that they sell. You don't have to buy a new car in order to get protection against wear and tear and faulty parts alike. Any dealership can decide to "certify" their cars. GM's certified pre-owned benefits program attaches value to those claims. 

The basic 6-year/100,000-mile limited warranty grants you 24-hour roadside assistance and courtesy transportation. You won't have to shell out for a rental or cabs while your car is in the shop; you'll be able to get where you're going safely. An additional 12-month/12,000-mile warranty covers your car bumper to bumper with $0 deductible. A one-year warranty leaves plenty of time for potential problems to show themselves. There's even more: GM certified pre-owned cars could come with a trial of On Star services, free maintenance oil changes, and more.
Familiarity of parts
Chevrolet has been an auto manufacturer for a long time. Even amazing cars will need maintenance from time to time. Any mechanic with more than a day on the job will be familiar with Chevy's parts and procedures. You won't have to sacrifice a mechanic you trust when switching to Chevrolet from another manufacturer. 

Chevrolet dealers showcase the confidence of Chevrolet by offering great deals and impeccable service. Between used vehicle incentives, the GM certified pre-owned benefits program, and the sheer number of choices you have when shopping Chevy it's the clear choice for your next vehicle.

2016 Chevy Malibu, Leading the way

The previous generation was a great family sedan.  Styling was clean but conservative.  The new version puts on a very sexy makeover with sleek lines.  The 2016 Malibu is a wallflower no more and projects great style and a look of elegance. It has moved upscale for sure and now is one of the best looking mid-size sedans, bar none.

On the engineering side Chevy has trimmed a tidy 300 lbs. from the platform while increasing the wheelbase almost 4", mostly to add useful rear seat space as well as smoothing the ride. Under the hood there are two new turbo four-cylinder engine choices. A 1.5 liter with 160 HP that should cover typical driving needs well and a dynamic 2.0 liter version with 250 HP that was fitted to our test car. This motivator proved very energetic driving thru a new 8-speed automatic that shifted crisply and helped the Malibu deliver 22 city/32 hwy MPG per the EPA ratings. Overall refinement was at a high level and you will enjoy the conventional automatic a lot more than any of the competitor's CVT transmissions.

Dropping in to the interior you'll find a refined look that is a clear step up for the class. A well designed, very contemporary dash offers a useful and not intimidating interface based around a central 8" touchscreen that mostly did what was asked of it without confusion. The front seats were comfy enough and the rear now boasts good leg and headroom, very competitive in the category. Out back there's a large and useable trunk with almost 16 cu ft. of cargo room.

First off, you want to rule the roads in a car customized to you and your personality. This is possible with Chevy’s 10 different paint colors you can choose from for this model. There is no better way to rule the road than in a vehicle completely customized to you, your personality and your specific needs. It has an estimated fuel efficiency of 36 miles to the gallon highway. This makes it possible for you to rule the road without draining your wallet. It is powered by a 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers 196 horsepower! There is also an alternative engine option available; the ECOTEC 2.0-liter turbocharged engine which delivers 259 horsepower and 295 pounds per foot torque, which is better than most 6 cylinder competitors.

All in all, the amazing 2016 Chevrolet Malibu is turning corners and turning heads. Last year’s model was extremely successful and taking into account the major changes made to this year’s model, we expect it to blow the automobile world out of the water.

Chevy Bolt: Future Redefinedh

We all know that Chevrolet has confirmed that they are working on a 200 mile range all electric car called the Bolt.  We also knew that it has entered testing.  Now we know that it will be properly unveiled at the International Consumer Electronics Show in January of 2016.

Mark Reuss, GM executive vice president confirmed this information for us at the LA Auto Show.  They did not give a time frame for release or acknowledge that the first ones would be deployed in 2016.  But they are promising that it will meet the 200 mile range mark it set out to achieve and support DC fast charging.  This will be a true game changer for the world of electric cars.

CES has rapidly morphed into a car show over the last decade, focusing on next-gen driving technologies — connected car tech and autonomous driving, to name a couple — and automotive executives have frequently taken the stage there.  GM CEO Mary Barra has been tapped to keynote in 2016, so it makes sense that she'd want something big to unveil — and there's nothing bigger for GM right now than the Bolt, which promises better than 200 miles of electric range.

“The Bolt is a very important piece” of meeting California’s emissions mandates, GM product chief Mark Reuss said from the LA show.  California regulations require 15.4 percent of manufacturer’s vehicles sold in the state be zero-emission vehicles by 2025.  “It’s company-wide, so (the mandate) will be easier for us to meet as a full-line automaker with cars like the Chevy Volt, Spark EV, and Bolt,” Reuss said.

Green and clean is what it’s all about.  Come check out more of our ideas today at Huffines Chevrolet Plano 1001 Coit Rd Plano, TX or give us a call at 972-867-4000 today!

2016 Chevrolet Tahoe

With a sleek yet commanding profile, the 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe has very comfortable cabin space in all 3 seat rows and boasts 94.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity with V8 power.  Not quite a suburban, but pretty darn close.



The 2016 will offer the usual suspects when it comes to trim iterations with the base LS, the LT and the LTZ loaded.   You also still have the option of the on demand 4 wheel drive on all trims.  They added a couple of new colors this year including the iridescent Pearl Tricoat and my favorite the Siren Red Tint coat.   The safety features available are nothing short of impressive including the IntelliBeam headlights, a safety-alert seat and a new lane keeping assistance function.  It also will feature the cap less fuel fill and a lift gate shield.

The LTZ will also feature 20 inch alloy wheels and reverse tilt power mirrors, power opening lift gate, telescoping tilt steering, heated front seats, remote garage door opener, power adjustable pedals and an auto dimming rear view mirror.  It also has a standard memory for driver’s settings and a heated second row captain’s chairs, premium leather upholstery, upgraded Driver Alert Package and a heated steering wheel.  Also available options are power moon roof and GPS navigation.  It also boasts a 4 stars out of 5 overall rating in various crash tests by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

2016 Chevrolet Volt: Tomorrow land

After doing a little research on the upcoming Disney movie Tomorrow land and seeing some of the previews, it is not surprising at all that Disney and GM teamed up to have the 2016 Chevrolet Volt debut in theaters on May 22nd  in this film.


The placement makes sense as it is a futuristic movie where every action changes the world and the film’s stars forever.  Sounds pretty true to life right.  It is a mystery adventure starring George Clooney.  He and Britt Robertson set out on a danger filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrow land”.  World changing stuff, right?

Enough about the movie, let’s get down to the car.  The new Volt rocks a new sportier look and a much more efficient Voltec powertrain that boasts an improved 50 mile pure electric range.  The curbside appeal is easy to the eyes as it has a tightly drawn, muscular finish to a sharper front end.  The back has bold tail lamps that punctuate the look with a lift back that grants access to the rear storage area.  This is a great looking car. It also has distinctively upgraded the functions of previous models.  It features a fully revised “Voltec” powertrain, a plug in hybrid or a range extender EV depending on your taxonomic preference that starts with a physically smaller battery pack which has managed to increase the power capacity.


Come experience your version of “Tomorrow land” today at Huffines Chevrolet Plano 1001 Coit Rd Plano, TX or give us a call at 972-867-4000 today!

2014 Chevrolet Spark EV Raises the Bar

General Motors have built their own oil-cooled permanent-magnet electric motor for this spark at a plant in Baltimore.  They promise this motor will appear in another product that is in the pipeline and as of yet, unnamed.


One day this could be remembered as the small-block of the electric segment.  It has 105 KW (140 horsepower with 400 lb-ft of torque.  Once you drive it, there is no doubt this motor has definite muscle.  Car and Driver estimates the Spark EV can reach 60 mph in less than 8 seconds.  This is 3 seconds faster than the gas model.

There will be a DC fast charge option. This adder can charge the battery to 100% in 20 minutes.  With the standard plug it will take 7 to 20 hours depending on whether you are charging it at 240 or 110 volts.  The car boasts a range of 82 miles.

The Spark EV has a 21-kWh lithium-ion battery pack.  The vehicle with the closest comparison is the Honda Fit EV however the Spark EV has enough additional power to shave a second off of Honda’s 0 – 60 time.  Normally electric cars are very dull and boring, however the Spark EV is the most intriguing and interesting we have seen.  

The Spark EV has been rated at 119 mpg by the EPA in combined driving.  The seven inch data screen lets the driver know how many miles he has left as well as the battery capacity.  There are three distinct heating and cooling systems to manage the climate for the high voltage electronics, battery and cabin.

This is one will change the game.  Come see why today at Huffines Chevrolet Plano 1001 Coit Rd Plano, TX or give us a call at 972-867-4000 today!

Chevrolet Equals Amazing

There is no brand more iconic than Chevrolet in the automotive industry.  Over 100 years of manufacturing vehicles, Chevy has continuously turned out amazing vehicle after amazing vehicle each year.  Courtesy of Huffines Chevrolet Plano here is a look at some of the most iconic Chevy’s in history.
Chevy Corvette

This model debuted in 1953 and it was the first American sports car that is two-seater. Today, it still remains to be the ultimate American sports car. What makes it even more special is that not only did the automotive company make just three hundred Chevy Corvette’s that year, all of them were also handmade. Its rarity makes it highly collectible. Imagine just how many of that 300 survives today.
Chevy Bel Air

The first model was launched in the mid 1950s. It was considered to be top of the line. In fact, it was far superior and incomparable to anything Chevrolet's competitors produced. The Chevy Bel Air remains to be a sought after iconic car by collectors.
Chevy Camaro

This is one of the most popular and well loved vehicles from the manufacturer. It was produced by Chevrolet in response to the Ford Mustang. The Chevy Camaro produced in the 1960's marked the manufacturer's entry to the pony car market. Since the manufacturer continues the production of the Camaro today, you can see the gorgeous modern version of this classic car at Huffines.
Chevy Impala

When it was produced in 1958, it was intended to be a successor to the Chevy Bel Air. To this day, the Chevy Impala holds the industry wide record, selling more than one million units and is all new for 2014 and winning awards and turning heads everywhere.

Chevrolet has been making amazing vehicles for a long time now, and there’s no better time to become a proud Chevy owner than right now.  Visit Huffines Chevrolet Plano at 1001 Coit Road in Plano, Texas or give us a call at 972-867-4000 today!

Huffines Chevrolet Plano Car Wash

Huffines Chevrolet Plano was proud to host the students of John Paul II High School who held a fundraising car wash this week.  The students of John Paul II High spend much of their free time doing hard work to raise money for their class to be used senior year.
Over 35 students over morning and afternoon shifts come in and go to work washing anyone’s car who pulled in.  The goal for freshmen, sophomore, and junior classes is to raise $5,000 each year in order to have $15,000 raised to go towards a variety of events during their senior year.
Every spring the seniors use the funds to go to Our Lady of Perpetual Help and plant flowers and shrubs and do general landscaping for their school.  They also donate books to their library and invite the students to come to John Paul II High for a day so the seniors can entertain and educate the elementary students.  The funds also support other events such as prom, and are used to purchase a senior gift to the school.
Huffines was happy to host the car wash event, and is pleased to announce the students raised $809 and Huffines made a $300 donation.

The students of John Paul II High were excited to have the car wash at Huffines because it is much more convenient to attract customers than when they had it at their school.  Huffines also grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for all of the students and parent volunteers was also a huge hit and we look forward to hosting more events like this in the future for these wonderful students!

The Best Bow Ties in History

The Bow Tie is considered by many to be an underrated piece of fashion and has been the tie of choice for many celebrities and fictional characters.  Below is a list of a few of the best bow ties in history, which wasn’t easy to narrow down to just a few considering how many people we had to choose from.  People like Charlie Chaplin, Donald Duck, Pee-wee Herman, Fred Astaire, and many others.

At long last, we present the best bow ties in history!

4) Bruce “Bow Tie” Bowen
Bruce Bowen is a retired NBA player, formerly playing for the San Antonio Spurs and now he is “Formally” working as an ESPN analyst, where he can be seen rocking a different bow tie on almost every different TV appearance.


3) The Joker
The larger than life arch-nemesis of Batman has been wearing a bow tie since he first appeared in comics in 1940.  Not many people can pull off wearing a bow tie with a purple suit, but The Joker does it wonderfully.  He earns a place on the list because his bow tie isn’t just the perfect accessory for the colorful villain, it’s also functional as it sprays out noxious “Joker Toxin” gas whenever he needs it.


2) Bond, James Bond
James Bond has been the epitome of manliness and suave for over 50 years now, through multiple novels and movies that have starred 6 different actors.  (8 if you count the 1954 Television film and the 1967 Spoof of Casino Royale.)  Pictured above is Daniel Craig, the latest actor who despite taking up the Bond mantle 50 years after Sean Connery, still rocks the iconic bow tie.

1) Chevrolet
This year marks the 100th year Chevrolet models have been adorned with the iconic bow tie badge.  It’s estimated 215 million vehicles have been dressed up with this bow tie, making Chevrolet the best bow tie in history!  Much like James Bond, Chevrolet is rugged and tough, with the perfect amount of suave and class.

You can class up your life with the most famous bow tie in history at Huffines Chevrolet Plano.  Visit our showroom at 1001 Coit Road in Plano, Texas or give us a call at 972-867-4000 today!

Their rescues are provided with the attention, care and medical treatment necessary, including spaying/neutering, until a permanent home can be found.  Through the commitment of volunteers WRNT also focuses on education of the public regarding puppy mills and responsible dog ownership, training and humane care of Westies and other pets.

The Westie Walk, sponsored by Huffines, will be held on Saturday, October 12, 2013 from 9:45 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the Mary Heads Carter Park in Carollton.  The fun-filled day will include a Dog Walk, Bagpiper, Huffines Costume Contest, Races and Games, complimentary food, desserts and beverages, LOTS of prizes, and more!

All are invited to attend, and we hope to see everyone there for a fun event that will undoubtedly be full of cuteness.  Be sure to mark your calendars!

Huffines has been supporting the community since 1924 and if you’re looking for a new or used vehicle that’s tough enough for you and your pet, come visit Huffines Chevrolet Plano located at 1001 Coit Road in Plano, Texas or give us a call at 972-867-4000 today!
