We would like to thank all of you who participated in the Toys For Tots 2008 toy drive. For the record, we collected 9 pickup truck loads worth of toys that were distributed to kids in need in the Fairfield county area during this past Christmas season. The pictures speak for themselves and we’d like to thank everyone for their generosity!
All-new crossover delivers expected segment-best highway fuel economy
DETROIT – Chevrolet unveiled the all-new 2010 Equinox, a compact crossover that blends distinctive design with outstanding efficiency. A new, 2.4L direct injection engine helps the Equinox deliver expected best-in-segment estimated highway fuel economy of 30 mpg (EPA certification pending) – a 25-percent improvement over the previous model. Chevrolet expects nearly two-thirds of customers will choose the efficient, 2.4L engine.
The new Equinox draws its exterior design inspiration from the Chevrolet Malibu sedan and Traverse crossover; and like those vehicles, the new Equinox complements its styling with attention to detail and unexpected features, according to Ed Peper, GM North America vice president, Chevrolet.
The Equinox makes its world debut at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. Read more »
This is a great time of year to pause and say ‘thanks’. Even though we are all feeling the effects of the current global economic reality, we have much to be thankful for locally.
New Canaan is so fortunate to have a literal army of volunteers who help support countless worthy local organizations that provide vital services to those in need. There are so many that I could never do them justice here, but you know who they are. Speaking of worthy organizations, it is so very important, now more than ever, to remember to financially support our area non-profit organizations. When the economy weakens, the needs grow greater and the financial support becomes more critical.
On a business note, I want to extend a huge Thank You to Jack Trifero and the other leaders of the New Canaan Village Association who once again organized a very successful Holiday Stroll. Also, kudos to the Chamber of Commerce for the latest edition of one of our very best local traditions; the annual tree lighting. Our local merchants are often the first group approached when local organizations need support. Now, during the holiday season, it is important that you stop and consider keeping your gift spending local. There are so many hidden benefits, not the least of which is convenience!
Every time you spend a dollar locally, you are supporting a local business, which in turn supports our schools, sports teams, and non-profit organizations throughout the year. Read more »

Believe me, I am the first one to call something bogus if a claim seems too big, preposerous, or someone is trying to sell snake oil.
That said, I had the guys in our shop fill my 2006 Cobalt SS’s tires with Nitrogen to see for myself if the claims of better ride quality, better tire wear, less sensitivity to temperature would live up to the hype.
That was a few days ago, and now I’m here to tell you that I won’t run another vehicle ever again without putting Nitrogen in the tires and here is why. The way my car now rides with the gas is a suble but very detectable difference. The tires seem a lot more “consistant”. The ride has smoothed out a bit and with winter comming up fast it’s nice to know I won’t have to top off air in the cold months. Read more »
I know that we are always telling people that “now is the time” when it comes to buying a new vehicle but, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, now REALLY is the time to come in and check out a new Chevrolet or HUMMER.
Why should now be any different? Well, GM is celebrating the corporation’s 100th Anniversary in a BIG way. Knowing you only turn 100 once, GM has announced that for the next 10 days they are offering consumers “employee pricing” on EVERY new 2008 model. Big deal you say… Well, for one, this offer is on everything AND in some cases they are also giving rebates!! That means that loaded Z06 Corvette you always wanted and eyed for $82k is now just $70k!! That new $55k Suburban LTZ has been slashed to just $43k! Lastly, that HUMMER H3 Luxury Package you’ll wish you had this winter is down from about $37k to $27k!!
I could site more examples, but they are all clearly laid out before you on our website. Click above on the link to our Chevrolet or HUMMER websites and check out the deals for yourself. Remember, Sept 2nd this promotion disappears, and I doubt we’ll see anything this good again for a long while!
