Maintenance Tip: Wax The Lights

Wax
Okay, we admit it's a little detail, but in winter’s gloom and short days, every last lumen you can squeeze out of your headlamps is going to improve your safety.

Here's an easy two-minute drill: Make sure the headlamps are clean of dirt, rub car wax (any type will do) on the lamps, let it dry and buff it off. Repeat. For bonus points, do the taillights.

The slippery surface you leave behind will be less likely to build up an "icicle" coat when road slush refreezes on your car -- and will make it easier to remove it if it does.

GMC Terrain Sales Best Ever for Month of November

Gmc
DETROIT – The GMC Terrain’s November sales were the best ever, with retail sales up 28 percent and total sales up 44 percent. The small SUV is also on track for its best year ever in retail and total sales.

GMC ended November with year-over-year retail sales down 3 percent for the month. Total sales in November were up 1 percent.

“Terrain has had a big impact on GMC showrooms since it launched two years ago,” said Brian Sweeney, vice president of GMC Sales and Service. “It brings in more customers new to GMC than any other model and sales continue to grow as more crossover buyers look for the brand’s signature capability and design but don’t need three rows of seating.”

Terrain Denali, an upscale model added earlier this year, is contributing to sales in major metropolitan areas. It represented 14 percent of sales in New York – Terrain’s top market in November – and 18 percent of sales in Los Angeles, which was one of the small SUV’s top five markets.

This month, both Terrain and Acadia were named “Best Buys” for 2013 by Consumer’s Digest. Terrain’s award was given for the magazine’s “Compact SUV” segment and Acadia’s for the “Midsize SUV” segment.

The 2013 Acadia and Acadia Denali crossover SUVs are now arriving at dealerships with new styling inside and out along with new advanced connectivity and safety features.
