Camaro Fans Get Ready For Pony Car Heaven

BAY CITY, Mich. – We have blogged about the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro in the past, and we are getting closer and closer to the May 16^th premiere event on Belle Isle! When Chevy announced that the event would be open to the first 1,000 fans to register at the CamaroSix website, the company could not imagine the overwhelming response from the public! Chevrolet knew fans would be enthusiastic, however the didn't imagine that the event would full up in just over eight hours.

Camaro fans get ready for pony car heaven! When asked about the unbelievable response from the public, Monte Doran, spokesman for Chevrolet stated, "We were very surprised! We thought it would take few days or weeks to fill up the available spots, so the response far exceeded our expectations."

The reason Chevy has limited the premiere event to 1,000 people is because Chevy is planning on using already existing infrastructure for the Belle Isle Grand Prix, and the tent can only hold 1,000 people. But those 1,000 people are going to have the pony-car experience of a lifetime! In addition to being among those first in THE WORLD to see the all-new sixth-generation Camaro, they will also have the opportunity to ride along on hot laps of the racecourse in the 2015Camaro Z/28 models, and even take a parade lap in their own Camaros! Pretty sweet right? There will also be a Camaro Museum on site, with 25 cars ranging from the '67 Camaro VIN 16, which is believed to be the oldest production Camaro in existence, to the original '06 Camaro concept the preceded the fifth-generation production model.

Camaro fans get ready for pony car heaven, and if you weren’t apart of the luck 1,000 to get tickets to the CamaroSix event, don't worry! The rest of us will be able to get our hands on the new model when it arrives at Chevy dealerships later this year! It will be interesting to see how the new '16 Camaro stacks up against the Dodge Challenger, and the Ford Mustang. All three round out the typical, American muscle cars.

GM Will Offer Smartphone Wireless Charging in 2014 Cars

BAY CITY, Mich. - With the amount of technology that drivers carry around with them, and the systems available in cars, it can seem like your car is packed with wires. That's why GM will now offer Smartphone wireless charging in 2014 cars. Designed with your comfort in mind, these wireless charging stations will help reduce the clutter inside your Chevy vehicle.

Instead of using the cables and plugs required to charge your Smartphone, some 2014 Chevy vehicles will now come with a Powermat surface - the 2014 Chevy Volt being one of them. This surface draws electricity, allowing you to place your Smartphone on the mat to charge it. GM will be the first carmaker to build the technology into its vehicles.

In order for the phone to work with the Powermat surface, it must be capable of recharging. This capability comes from either built-in technology, or the use of a case that will allow it to recharge. As Powermat surfaces become more popular, more phones will be released that are recharging compatible.

GM will offer Smartphone wireless charging in 2014 cars, but only a select few. If you'd like to discuss which vehicles come with this technology, or how you can have it installed in your current vehicle, stop by our Caro Area Chevrolet Dealer today! We have a large selection of New Chevrolet Cars and New Chevrolet Trucks - all with great technology that we know you'll love. 

Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706. For more information on Hank Graff Chevrolet, or for any questions call us at (989) 684-4411 or visit our websites: www.GraffBayCity.com.
