Tampa Chevy shoppers can meet the all new 2011 Chevy Silverado at Cox Chevrolet in Bradenton. The new 2011 Chevy HD trucks have just arrived at Cox and very attractive pricing has already been announced.

The Silverado heavy-duty lineup is broader than ever, with 11- 2500HD models and eight single- and dual-rear-wheel 3500HD models – including a new 3500HD Crew Cab with a 6.5-foot cargo box. WT, LT and LTZ trim levels are offered, and popular features such as the EZ Lift tailgate and rearview camera system return for 2011.

Tampa Chevy Silverado Shoppers Get Greater Capability

All models bring Bradenton and Tampa Chevy Silverado truck shoppers greater capability, improved ride and handling and a greater feeling of driver control. There are also enhanced powertrains, including a new Duramax 6.6L diesel/Allison 1000 six-speed transmission that offers the exhaust brake system, new front and rear suspensions, an improved brake system, hill start assist, trailer sway control system and more.

Outside, the 2011 Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD models are distinguished by a power dome-style hood with a new, louvered design, as well as a new grille and full-width chrome steel front bumper. A new lineup of 17-, 18- and 20-inch wheel/tire combinations is featured, too (20-inch polished forged aluminum wheels are available on 2500HD). Designers and engineers left almost no bolt unturned during the comprehensive redesign of the trucks.

Tampa Dealer Explains Impressive Fuel Economy of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:42:49 +0000

The incredibly economical gas mileage of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco will likely make it a popular choice when it arrives at Chevrolet dealerships this fall.

But, how does the Cruze manage a number as impressive as its estimated 40 MPG on the highway?

Cox Chevrolet, a leading Tampa Chevy dealer, would like to explain some of the innovative science at work in the Cruze.

Science Behind the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

Chevrolet engineers first made use of proven fuel-saving approaches, including reducing the car’s weight and lowering its height.

However, the feature that most sets the Cruze apart from other fuel-efficient vehicles is the air-shutter system in its front grille that changes shape to reduce wind resistance. The system uses sensors to detect wind and temperature conditions outside the vehicle. These sensors communicate with electric motors that open and close the shutters.

At high speeds, the shutters close to reduce drag, while at lower speeds, they open to allow in more engine-cooling air. The system adds a half-mile per gallon to Cruze’s combined MPG rating.

“The real fun of the job is when we discover something new or innovative that allows us to do something better than we or our competition has done before,” said Greg Fadler, manager of Chevrolet’s aerodynamics engineering group. Fadler put his experience as a flight test engineer to good use during development of the Cruze, borrowing fighter-jet technology to create innovations like the shutter system.

The expert sales staff at Cox Chevrolet will gladly answer the questions Tampa Chevrolet customers have about the Cruze.

Submit those questions on the Cox Chevrolet website: http://www.coxchevy.com/contact.php

Customers can also visit Cox Chevrolet for a firsthand look once the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze arrives this fall.

Cox Chevrolet Serving Tampa to Debut 2011 Chevy Volt this August

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:33:57 +0000

Cox Chevrolet serving Sarasota and Tampa Chevy consumers recently announced plans to debut the new 2011 Chevy Volt at their Bradenton Chevrolet dealership in August.

The 2011 Chevrolet Volt is a four door extended- range electric vehicle that is expected to travel up to 40 miles on electricity from one battery charge and be able to extend its overall range to more than 300 miles with its flex-fuel powered engine generator.

Volt runs on electricity from its battery, and then runs on electricity it creates from gas. Depending on the weather, the electrical features that are turned on and how the owner drives, drivers can cruise up to 40 miles on the electricity stored in the battery — totally gas and emissions free. After that, its gas-powered, range-extending generator automatically kicks in to provide electrical power. So Volt can go for several hundred additional miles, until drivers need to plug it in or fill it up again.

Chevrolet Volt Battery Design

On a pure electric charge, Volt can travel up to 40 miles, which means more than 75% of the population can commute on battery power alone without using gasoline and without producing tailpipe emissions.

The battery combines the power of more than 200 lithium-ion battery cells, each of which is about the size of a 5- by 7-inch photo frame, weighs nearly a pound and can store up to twice the power of a similarly sized nickel metal hydride battery cell from today’s hybrid vehicles.

Each battery cell is encased in a polymer-coated aluminum package to withstand harsh climates. A liquid thermal cooling and heating system keeps the battery at a comfortable temperature as it’s being charged and discharged.

Tampa and Sarasota Chevrolet shoppers who would like to learn more about the arrival of the exciting new 2011 Chevrolet Volt can call Cox Chevrolet at (800) 958-8803 or visit their website online: www.coxchevy.com

2011 Chevrolet Cruze to Arrive in August at Tampa Area Chevy Dealer

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:10:57 +0000

Cox Chevrolet serving Tampa Chevy buyers recently announced plans to debut the new 2011 Chevy Cruze at their Bradenton Chevy dealership this August. Cox Chevy also serves Sarasota Chevy shoppers.

The Chevy Cruze is a 4-door sedan that comes in LS, LT, LTZ, and fuel-economy-oriented Eco trim levels. The LS has a 136-horsepower 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine. The LT, LTZ, and Eco use a 138-horsepower turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. A 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission is available on all models.

Among the available features are a wireless cell-phone link and navigation system. Cruze Eco models have ultra-low-rolling-resistance tires and other aerodynamic tweaks designed to increase fuel economy. Available on the LT and LTZ is an RS Appearance Package, which includes specific wheels and exterior trim.

The new compact Chevrolet Cruze is not only a good-looking vehicle, but also boasts many safety features.

“We are very confident of the safety performance of the Cruze and believe it will prove to be one of the safest vehicles in the segment,” said Chuck Russell, vehicle line director at the Milford Proving Ground, where future vehicles are tested. “To benefit our customers, we went way beyond requirements to exceed government safety mandates.”

The list of standard safety features on all models includes dual stage airbags, head-curtain airbags mounted in the roof rail, seat mounted, side-impact airbags, front and rear, front passenger seat occupant sensing system, and rollover sensing and protection system as well as a collapsible pedal assembly, which can minimize injuries to the driver in a head-on collision.

The Cruze achieved 96 percent on adult occupant protection, making it the runner-up this year in the category and beating all tested premium brands, GM officials said.
Chevy has also provided a comparison showing that the Cruze has nine standard features that cost extra on the Honda Civic, including satellite radio, traction control and Air Conditioning. Downsizing has become a fact of life in the compact segment, where consumers expect fuel economy approaching 40 miles per gallon and a comfortable interior as well, and the Chevy Cruze delivers on both counts.

Tampa Chevy shoppers who would like to learn more about the arrival of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, can call Cox Chevrolet at (800) 958-8803 or visit their website online: www.coxchevy.com

Tampa Florida Car Dealers Join Advertising Network

Wed, 12 May 2010 05:12:03 +0000

Tampa car dealers have a new membership network to generate exclusive consumer car leads. The Automotive Advertising Network (AAN) leverages the power of member dealers in Florida to generate more exclusive consumer sales leads and increase the visibility of their websites on search engines.

Tampa Florida car dealers have welcomed the Automotive Advertising Network (AAN) because it is the first dealer-centric lead provider that provides members with unlimited leads and online promotion of their inventory on national, regional and local websites that are strategically positioned to appear on top of the most popular search engines, social networks and blogs.

Members can also place their car inventory in front of consumer blogs, press releases and on Fan Page tabs inside of Facebook. By placing their car inventory on the most popular places where consumers spend their time online, the dealer’s brand exposure is increased.

The AAN, created by industry veterans Brian Pasch, Sean Wolfington and David Boice, help dealers generate more leads for less cost. The member dealers are using their collective power to compete with third-party lead providers who historically have had a big advantage on search engines because of their national footprint and corresponding search authority. The national consumer website for the AAN is located at www.cardealersale.com.

“The network’s advertising technology gives member dealers broader exposure for their new and used inventory online by helping them appear where customers start their shopping process – search engines and social media Web sites like Facebook”, said Pasch.

“It is very difficult for dealers to come up on top of the search engines for these phrases because there are many lead providers competing for the same 10 results on the first-page,” explained Wolfington. “The network has the national and regional search authority so our vehicles appear on top of the results in our market,” said Brian Benstock, GM of Paragon Honda/Acura, the #1 selling Honda/Acura dealer in the world. “All of our vehicles that are listed on the network link back to our dealership website so our website gets more traffic and relevance on search engines because we inherit the search authority of the network.”

“Many third-party lead providers sell the same leads to multiple dealers and this hurts the closing ratio and average gross profit because many dealers are chasing the same lead”, said Benstock. “The network gives us exclusive leads that are not sold to other dealers so the closing ratio is a lot higher.” “Dealers prefer leads that are not sold to multiple dealers because they generate better returns”, said David Boice.”

The Automotive Advertising Network gives local dealers a national, regional and local footprint to increase their authority so they appear ahead of third-party lead providers for popular national and regional search phrases. The network’s advertising model is being praised by member dealers because competitor’s cars and distracting advertising banners are not placed on their car detail pages.

“We have a smart strategy to optimize our own web site to appear on top for local searches, but the network helps us reach people who type in the more popular national and regional search phrases like ‘Toyota Recall Virginia’”, added Alex Snyder from Checkered Flag Toyota in Virginia Beach. “The network also fuels our off-site SEO strategy which helps my dealership websites rank higher for popular search phrases in our market because of the relevant back-links the network provides.”

The Automotive Advertising Network powers hundreds of websites that are optimized to appear on Google’s page one for popular national and regional search phrases like “Boston Dealers”. This phrase is entered by over 22,000 consumer searches a month and drives consistent monthly traffic to www.bostondealers.org.

“The ad network is our best new source of leads because they have a high closing ratio and are inexpensive because we pay a flat fee no matter how many leads we receive” said Jon Sherrell, Internet Director at the Rairdon Group in Washington State.”

Participating dealers pay a fixed membership fee to join the Automotive Advertising Network ($995) and receive:

Unlimited leads from ready-to-buy consumers who are actively searching for a vehicle in their market.

Promotion of dealership and inventory on www.CarDealerSale.com, as well as regional and local websites in their primary markets.

Promotion of dealership and inventory on the most popular social media sites with Live inventory posted on your Facebook Fan Page.

Unlimited car inventory publishing on popular blog platforms and WordPress plug-ins for optimized inventory listings.

Banner advertising on the AAN local websites. Also, AAN members will never see competitor ads on their Inventory listing pages. The first search optimized, dealer-centric advertising platform.

Access to the networks automotive press release publishing system and unlimited press release publishing on national and regional websites. The AAN is building a dealer centric Automotive News network.
