Greetings from Bob Johnson

As I write this, we're past the middle of August. I guess time DOES fly when you're having fun! It's been a great summer for me and my family and I hope yours has been a great one, too.

At Johnson Motors, we’re extremely busy. Spring and summer have set all-time records for new vehicles, used vehicles, and service. Model Year End Clearance is going on now with great incentives from both Chevy and Cadillac. We have just 50 new 2013s left, but with a nice selection of Malibu, Equinox, and Cadillac SRX. Since these are some of our best-selling lines, come in soon if you’re interested in a 2013!

2014s are streaming in now, with the ALL-NEW Silverado leading the way. We have 59 all-new Silverados on the lot and on the way in. Both Silverado and Impala have just been recognized with some impressive industry accolades.

The Used Car SuperStore has some of the nicest new vehicle trades I’ve ever seen. All of these preowned vehicles are priced under the Internet-average price, which is one reason why they’re selling so well. The Lower 40 is setting records, too, with some really nice vehicles at bargain prices. We have about 100 to choose from!

I hope you enjoy your last couple weeks of August.

Bob Johnson

The All-New 2014 Silverados are here!

We now have 59 units on the ground and on the way. Crew Cabs started production first, and people have been raving about these trucks ever since they arrived. New engines feature a 5.3 liter V8 with 355 horsepower and fuel economy that beats Ford’s Ecoboost V6.

 

The Silverado engine is new from the oil pan up, and features Direct Injection, Variable Valve Timing, and Active Fuel Management. While these features may be technological marvels, they are not expensive future maintenance and repair bills. You won’t be replacing expensive turbochargers if you use your truck like a truck. (The Ecoboost V6 has TWO turbochargers, costing about $2000 each to replace! Chevy’s engine warranty is 40,000 miles longer, too.)

An all-new 4.3 liter V6 is now in production, and it promises (according to the press reports) to be all many will need unless they do heavy towing. Our first one will arrive soon. Finally, a 6.2 liter 420 hp engine is just starting production, and it should be a beast!

The new DoubleCabs are arriving now, replacing the venerable Extended cab model that we’ve loved for so long. The DoubleCab looks much like the Crew Cab with a shortened rear door. Each door has an outside and inside door handle so that a rear seat rider can open his/her door without the front door needing to be open.

The Double Cab is EXTREMELY solid because of the additional pillar on each side. One slam of any door will show you the difference. This configuration will pass future crash standards with ease. In fact, the 2014 Silverado (and the GMC Sierra) are the first trucks to earn a 5 Star crash rating since the standards were raised.

Major improvements abound, from DuraLife brake rotors and CornerStep rear bumper to EZ-Lift and Lower tailgate, and 8-inch color touch-screen with Chevrolet MyLink.

GM Quality On the Rise!

There’s more good news! GM has been named the second highest-quality vehicle manufacturer according to J.D. Power, the leading quality information company in the world.

J.D. Power, in its latest initial quality assessment, reports that Porsche is the highest quality manufacturer, and the only one scoring better than GM. Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, and every other manufacturer follow.
