The 2015 Z51: Not Your Grandpa's Muscle Car

140925_0443
We knew we'd be getting one of the first 2015 Corvette Stingrays in the region. We knew it would be fairly impressive. We prepared, studied up on the modern updates to the classic muscle. When we got notice from Chevrolet that our 2015 Corvette Stingrays had shipped, we cleared the show room in anticipation. We thought we were ready.     But friends, there's no way we could have prepared for the immaculate beauty and power of even one 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51. No disrespect to the classic dream car of the 1960's - this is a whole new generation of vehicle. And with this kind of advanced, almost Bourne-esque technology, with the body style that reminds us of the supercars you could only fantasize about, and the power that melts the hearts of millions - this ain't your grandpa's muscle car. I mean just LOOK at it! Oh excuse me, am I drooling?? 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 041 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 030     The 2015 Corvette comes in a multitude of options. Of course you have the coupe, as well as the convertible for those who want to feel the impact of almost 460 horsepower on their face. From there, it extends to the 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, and those trims also come with the option of the Z51 Performance Package. Both Corvettes in our showroom are 2015 Corvette Stingray 3LTs with a Z51 Performance Package.   With varying color seat options, each Stingray is equipped with 8-way power leather seats, keyless access with push-button start, power tilt and telescoping steering column, two 8-inch HD color displays, and the 9-speaker Bose audio system with a minimum 3-month trial subscription to SiriusXM Satellite Radio.

Without, of course, compromising it's 0-60 in 3.8 seconds capacity, nor it's roaring 460 horsepower. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 035 Air flow is a high priority in the Stingray this year, even in the Brembo brakes. Air flows through the front grill to the wheel wells to assist in cooling the brakes and enhancing performance and longevity. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 046 Exclusive to the Corvette Stingray brand, Michelin Pilot Super Sport Zero Pressure tires optimize ride, grip, and handling. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 036 Our Velocity Yellow Z51 also sports color-matched calipers. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 042 Electronic Limited-Slip Differential promotes improved stability and responsiveness. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 057 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 044A hood air extractor allows flow of air through the front grill and over the radiator for optimal air flow, reducing front-end lift, increasing downforce, and improving handling at high speeds.

A third brake light sits on the rear spoiler for prime effective warning. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 031 Technology masters both high and low beams with Bi-Xenon HID lamps on the head lights. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 033 The 2015 Stingray is 100 pounds lighter than its predecessor. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 034 Magnetic Ride Control is a real-time damping system that "reads" the road every millisecond and re-adjusts in under 15 milliseconds, making it the fastest acting suspension in the world. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 041 The Z51 coupe is sold in the "Pacific" style - with aggressive racing build. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 043 The "Pacific" coupe design includes a distinctively sharp rear spoiler. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 045 Multiple driver modes lets you slip from the safety of "weather" to the ferocious power of "track" with the turn of a wheel. 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 032 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 038 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 039 140925 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 048  We may have already given one of these beauties a caring home, but the other is patiently awaiting for someone who truly loves to drive to take her home.

Anniversary Editions Dominate 2017

Don’t get us wrong. Every vehicle that drives off our lot is special, because we know just how life-changing it can be to an individual. And we know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some of our employees get excited about a truck they have to climb to get into, while others drool over the latest hybrid technology. This difference of opinions has prompted heated "car-talk" for decades. But vehicles that commemorate a significant milestone will always hold a unique place in our hearts. Maybe they remind us how far the auto industry has come. Maybe they bring back memories of our first car. Or perhaps they just make us excited to see what’s next. Either way, 2017 is a wonderful year for special Anniversary Editions for several of our brands. Here’s a spotlight of a few of them: 2017 Toyota Corolla 50th Anniversary Special Edition The most popular car in the world turned 50 this year and it looks like Toyota threw a black tie soiree. The Special Edition oozes sophistication, from its special badging to its 17-inch alloy wheels. The car comes in Black Cherry Pearl, Blizzard Pearl and Classic Silver Metallic, and features Black Cherry contrast accents throughout the interior to add a stylish touch of luxury. 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 50th Anniversary Edition The legendary Camaro also turns 50 this year, and, to honor it, Chevy released anniversary editions in both coupe and convertible 2LT and 2SS models to celebrate the classic style AND performance of the vehicle. It’s built to move, but once it slows down, check out the distinct Nightfall Gray Metallic color with special 50th Anniversary stripes, badges, and grille. And, when you’re not driving, relive history with the web page Chevy put together highlighting the six generations of the Camaro. 2017 Jeep Wrangler 75th Edition The Jeep Wrangler technically turned 75 last year, but that hasn’t stopped Jeep from continuing the celebration into 2017. Available in the Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited, the 75th Anniversary Editions, in a nod to their predecessors in WWII, include a bronze interior and exterior and premium wheels, as well as the special badges that prominently feature 1941, the year of the first Wrangler.

15 Things We Love About The 2015 Toyota Sienna

Everyone has seen the viral advertisements from Toyota about the new 2015 "Swagger Wagon."  We have all laughed at the truth in the ad about parenthood and being "cool" enough to embarrass your kids sufficiently, partying hard until 9pm, and sneaking sips of apple juice from the toddler's sippy cup.  Let's be honest, we love those ads.  It has been connecting parents everywhere to the beautiful chaos that is having kids, commiserating in the joyful, crazy lives we lead day in and day out, so much so that finding the humor in it is just as beautiful as your kid saying "I love you," through choking sobs while you're trying to scrub a mystery substance scented with banana and mud off of their face.  "Messy but great," right? Well, the 2015 Toyota Sienna acknowledges the messiness of parenthood, and offers you a sweet window of hope in the form of a minivan that is anything but a compromise.  Allow us to elaborate in these 15 things we love about the new 2015 Toyota Sienna! Driver Easy Speak The Sienna sees your screaming and raises you a speaker system that will transfer your voice to the rear seat.  By touching a button on the screen of the new dash, you can project your voice through the speaker system to your passengers, helping you maintain control of your adorable hooligans! Smart Key System Who hasn't had that moment of baby on the hip, purse on your shoulder, and key that has sunk to the bottom of the diaper bag in pouring down rain and frigid winds?  You no longer have to dig around in the diaper bag with your one free hand and miraculously juggle child, purse, and bag around to open the door and lock baby into the car seat.  You can just touch the door, and the vehicle will sense the proximity of the key, and unlock for you.  I'm pretty sure a mom of two toddlers thought up this one! Sliding Center Console Speaking of toddlers... as they outgrow those car seats, and their hands are still only so big, spills in the car are an accepted reality of parenthood.  But we can minimize those spills with an extended sliding center console, putting cup holders within reach of those little hands. Dual View Blu Ray No more arguments over Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Frozen on the next long holiday drive - you can have both in the 2015 Toyota Sienna XLE Premium with the Dual Screen on the Blu Ray.  It even comes with head phones so you can rock out to Kenny G (just kidding) and don't have to hear Let It Go for the fifty millionth time. Recline and Relax Again, as the kids get older - there are advantages.  Teen driver can help with the road trip while you kick back, prop your tired feet up on the ottoman (yes, ottoman), recline a tad bit, and take a nice snoozer in the 2015 Toyota Sienna Limited.  Toyotas are a long-term investment, so let's think long-term! Easy Access Kids climbing around on your upholstery  in their dirty shoes are a thing of the past - finally!  Second row seating slides all the way forward, with backs of the chairs closing in for easier access to third row seating. Power Lift Gate Another battle of arms full vs. access won!  Your smart key has a button, the lift gate has a button, your driver's seat has a button - there are multiple ways to conquer  the "You forgot to close the trunk!" debacle with the Power Lift Gate! Split N' Stow Seating I remember as a kid, watching Dad haul the seats out of the back of our minivan before a ski trip.  Those things looked heavy, and we always ended up with the seats in our dining room for a few days until Dad regained the strength to reinstall the suckers.  No worries for my generation of parents! Not only do our minivans have a bucket in the rear to store third row seats, but several trim levels even have electronic buttons - no hauling necessary! Convertible Cargo With those seats stowed in their buckets, you can convert 39 cubic feet of storage into up to 150 cubic feet of cargo area. Soft Touch Leather That sticky squeaking is soooo last decade! Our soft touch leather offers the luxury of leather with the comfort of quality fabric. (And I hear it's easy to clean to boot!) Available Dual Moonroof Be it for a little extra light for Abbey to teach Aiden how to read, or to watch the stars as they fall asleep, the dual moonroof is a luxury we love in the new Sienna! Seats Up To 8 With convertible seating and an extra option to insert a center seat on the second row, there's no way you can't take on the U-8 soccer team's spontaneous victory pizza lunch! Toyota Care There is so much that can be said for Toyota Care, that we could go on all day.  But the basics is that Toyota is here to take care of you, with a warranty and service coverage that covers the first two years of your new Sienna! New Wraparound Dash By far our favorite new feature in the new 2015 Toyota Sienna is the dash.  Designed with safety in mind, Toyota created an easy one touch system, and re-organized it to be closer to the driver, easier to reach, and thus easier for you to stay focused on the road. Safety Features With 8 standard airbags (up to 12), a 24/7 emergency response center called Safety Connect, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, standard back up camera, blind spot monitoring, parking assist, and so much more, the 2015 Toyota Sienna is built to get you and your family from Place A to Place B as efficiently and as safely as possible. The 2015 Toyota Sienna "Swagger Wagon" truly is the minivan that doesn't compromise, for those who live lives all about compromise.  Live a little, gain some swagger, and check out the new 2015 Toyota Sienna at http://www.miltonrubentoyota.com.   For more information on the latest vehicles, offers, and events at Milton Ruben Toyota, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.
