The new, revitalized Chevrolet Impalas are arriving in showrooms!

Well, the long wait is over, and they all-new Chevy Impalas are here. From first glance, it's obvious that they were worth the wait. Stop by Johnson Motors in DuBois, PA, today to see them!




From the Chevrolet Impala page on Chevy.com:


Sculptural, athletic, head-turning designForm and function thoughtfully converge in the 2014 Impala design. The exterior is characterized by smooth, flowing contours that are as visually stunning as they are aerodynamic. Poised on standard 20-inch wheels, the stance of the 2014 Impala is both aggressive and confident — a reflection of the power, efficiency and comfort drivers will enjoy when they take the wheel.

Upscale, refined, spacious interior

When you first step into the 2014 Impala, you immediately notice how roomy and quiet it is. Yet, at the same time, you also feel uniquely connected to the environment. That’s because the design of the interior is deliberately driver-centric. The instrument panel flows around the cockpit. The controls are ergonomically placed. Rich chrome and wood accents, sumptuous available leather-appointed seating and unique available ambient lighting elevate the luxurious feel. Overall, it’s the type of experience that makes driving truly rewarding.

Dynamic, spirited, efficient performance

No one wants to sacrifice power for fuel efficiency. That’s why the 2014 Impala offers three engine choices to suit your needs: the available 303-horsepower 3.6L V6 engine that goes from 0 to 60 in 6.8 seconds and offers 28 MPG on the highway, the standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 31 MPG on the highway and 195 horsepower, and the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine with E-assist that delivers and estimated 35 MPG on the highway and 182 horsepower. Either way, enhanced driving dynamics and premium rack-mounted electric power steering make for a nimble, responsive ride.

Advanced, intuitive infotainment technology

The 2014 Impala is equipped with the newest Chevrolet MyLink™ in-car infotainment system, which seamlessly integrates Bluetooth® wireless for select phones, advanced touch-screen technology and natural voice recognition. It allows drivers to make calls, stream music from online services like Pandora,® operate USB-connected devices —and so much more — with ease. They can even customize the high-resolution 8-inch color touch-screen for quicker access to the features they use most. It’s advanced technology that makes connectivity a whole lot simpler.

Smart, proactive safety features

Impala also gets numerous safety enhancements for 2014. Its structure incorporates more high-strength steel than before along with 10 standard air bags to help mitigate the impact of a collision. Advanced safety technologies are also available, including Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert and Full-Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control with Collision Mitigation Braking, Rear Park Assist with Rearview Camera and Side Blind Zone Alert with Cross-Traffic Radar Alert. These available features proactively help protect against the unexpected.

Test-driving the 2013 Cadillac ATS 2.0 liter Turbo

I recently had the opportunity to test-drive the boss’s 2014 Cadillac ATS 2.0 liter turbo. What a treat! I had been admiring it for weeks whenever I saw it on the lot at our dealership, and finally I was going to get my chance to drive it. 

I planned ahead for the weekend, choosing a 100+ mile loop through the winding hills of  northwestern Pennsylvania. I figured that my choice of roads would give me every imaginable type of condition to test the car...from straight and narrow Interstate, to looping, roller-coaster, winding side roads, as well as a few with less than perfect surfaces. 

The ATS surprised me at every turn. On the flat, straight highways, I tested acceleration and ride comfort. The vehicle accelerated smoothly and reached speeds of 90+ so quickly that I was startled, especially because the ride was so smooth and the acceleration so effortless. The only shortcoming I could find was a slight turbo-lag, but it’s so slight as to barely be noticeable. 

The winding hills were another story entirely. I’m used to most cars being on the edge of control when taking turns a bit too fast. With the ATS, I often found myself experiencing strong G-forces, and discovering to my surprise that I was driving about 20 to 30 mph faster than I’d normally take turns. The car hugged the road perfectly, and with the exception of the sideways tug of G-forces, I had little other indication that I was taking a turn at high speeds. 


To put it simply, I was blown away by the ATS and its handling. Years ago I owned a SAAB SPG and felt I’d never own another car that was so much fun to drive. I’m please to say that I’ve found it, and it’s the Cadillac ATS. I hear a 3.6 liter coupe may be in the works, and I’m already trying to imagine how that’s going to handle. 

Our New Johnson Motors DealerOn website is live!

When you work with the Internet, there are few things as exciting as seeing a new website go live.

We recently had that experience after switching to a DealerOn website. We'd met with some of the reps at a recent trade show, and on the recommendation of our mobile app provider, we decided to go with DealerOn for our new website.

The search features are second-to-none, and we've found it very easy to work with. But the best thing about it is how it looks! It's super-clean, crisp, and efficient, even allowing customers to search by color.
