Tour the Chevy Camaro SS Convertible and Rev Up for Summer

There are few better ways to get to and from the beach than in a convertible muscle car, and the Chevy Camaro SS Convertible is one of the finest drop-top pony cars I’ve ever seen. With its modern-retro design, the Camaro looks back on the glory days of the pony car wars, but the technology inside is anything but dated.

Under the hood, there’s a 6.2-liter V8 engine with 426 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, which means blistering acceleration. Don’t worry about it being a gas hog though, because you can get up to 24 mpg on the highway, which means a cruising range of up to 456 miles! Just be careful, because that much fun in the sun could lead to serious sunburn.

If the Chevy Camaro SS Convertible has piqued your interest, check out our online video tour of the car filmed at our Chevy dealership in Manchester, NH. You’ll get a walk around of the important features, like leather seats, alloy wheels and technology options. It’s just one in a series of car tours we’ve shot to give our customers a more in-depth look at the vehicles we sell. We love to share our knowledge with our customers! If the internet isn’t cutting it though, just stop by Quirk Chevrolet and one of our helpful sales team members will show you around the Camaro, answer any of your questions and work to get you behind the wheel.

Until we meet again, drive safe!

Feeling Bullish About Diesels?

For many years Americans had some very negative thoughts about diesel engines, and those thoughts were largely justified – but no longer. Modern diesel engines are clean, refined, powerful and fuel efficient, which is why they’re gaining in popularity with American motorists. I recently read an article that said Bosch, an auto parts manufacturer, is projecting that 1 in 10 vehicles sold in 2015 will be a diesel (diesel cars today account for closer to 1 in 100 sales).

We sell a wide variety of diesel vehicles at Quirk, thanks to the numerous options available through our Volkswagen, Chevrolet, GMC and Ford dealerships in MA and NH, and the quality of these modern diesels is impressive compared to what was available even in the 1990’s. Massive improvements in the refinement process, combined with high gas prices, have coaxed American motorists into giving diesels a second look.

Our diesel offerings are only set to grow too, so New Hampshire and Massachusetts motorists will have more choices than ever when it comes to saving fuel. Next year Chevrolet is planning to bring the Cruze diesel to market, and I’m excited to see what it returns for fuel economy given that the Cruze ECO we have on sale right now already returns up to 42 mpg on the highway. And for those who need a little more utility, Jeep will begin production of the Grand Cherokee diesel next year, which I expect will feature an exceptional mix of efficiency and performance.

Until then, if you’re looking for anything from a Volkswagen Jetta TDI, the best-selling diesel car in America, to the diesel Chevy Silverado 2500, which twists out 800 pound-feet of torque, visit one of our Quirk Auto dealerships today.

If you’d like to learn more about diesels and other alternative-fuel powerplants, check out our Powerplants Fact Sheet, one of the many fact sheets we’ve created to educate our customers.

Drive safe!

Get Going with Our Safety Tips for Towing

Going out on the water or camping in the mountains is a great way to spend a day or even a week in New England, but getting your camper or boat to your favorite vacation spot can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. Towing requires a special set of skills and in some cases a special vehicle, so we created the Quirk Towing Fact Sheet to help dispel some myths as well as spread some towing know-how.

Our in-depth towing fact sheet covers towing-specific equipment like hitches, draw bars and axle ratios, as well as safe towing procedures that can keep you on the straight and narrow even when the road gets curvy. We even talk about technology like electric trailer brakes and anti-sway systems that take a lot of the stress out of towing. If you’re looking to tow this summer, no matter the distance, check out our towing fact sheet – a couple minutes of reading could save you some major trouble.

If you’re looking for a tow rig, you can find a suitable vehicle at nearly any of the Quirk Auto Dealers. Whether you’re looking for a Ford F-150 with the EcoBoost engine, which can tow up to 11,300 pounds, or a Volkswagen Tiguan rated to tow up to 2,200 pounds, we can help you find the perfect vehicle to help you tow and haul. Our helpful staff members can answer any and all of your towing questions too, so don’t hesitate to pick their brains to ensure you get the best vehicle for your needs!

Have fun, drive safe, and I’ll see you out on the water this summer!
