Buick Celebrates 40 Years of the Regal

Buick is celebrating four decades and five generations of the Buick Regal!

Introduced in late 1972, the Century Regal, as it was originally called, served as an upmarket model in the Century line and one of GM's first “personal luxury” cars. In its first year, the ‘73 Regal coupe sold 91,557 units, helping Buick surpass its 1955 all-time sales record.

Throughout four decades, and now in its fifth generation, the Regal carries on its sweeping design, dynamic driving experience and powertrain leadership. Today’s Regal is equipped with its most-powerful standard engine, a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder producing 259 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of toque.

With today’s focus on all-passenger comfort, safety and technology, the latest Regal comes standard with an eight-inch color touch display featuring IntelliLink in-vehicle connectivity. Leather-appointed seating surfaces, heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control are all standard. A host of new radar- and camera-based safety features are available, including Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert and Collision Mitigation Braking.

For a full history of the Regal's innovative design, read Buick's full press release!

Don't Get Stranded! Tires Need Love Too!

During the summer months, it's extremely important to maintain your tires. If you ignore the warning signs, you could end up stranded on the side of a blazing hot highway, or even worse, get a blowout!

Car Care Tip of the Week: Keep the Caps On!

You step out into driveway ready to start your morning commute only to discover a flat tire. How did that happen overnight? If the tire valve is missing its cap, the culprit might be a leaky valve. Those little caps keep out dirt and moisture that can cause leaks, so be sure to keep caps on all your tire valves. Another tip: When you replace tires, remind the tire shop that you expect new valves with the tires.

Car Care Tip of the Week: Use Your Headrest!

Before you hit the road, sit up straight, raise your head as high as you can, and press it into the headrest. Hold it there for five seconds, then relax and repeat five times. This will improve your posture and put muscles like your multifidus to work to keep your spine erect. This, in turn, will reduce the strain on your neck.

Kudos to Brian and Donna for this excellent Yelp review!

"I brought my 1998 Grand Prix in for the non working AC.  They diagnosed it quickly and correctly and fixed the car in 1 day.  Brian Durham and Donna Bell were friendly and very knowledgeable.  Very good people to deal with and have you car serviced by them.  The people at the dealership have always been effecient and knowledgeable at realistic pricing.  Thanks for good service." - Darryl R.

Road Trip'n!

Summer is here and it's officially road trip season! Here are ten fun facts for all the road warriors out there!

The Sleeker, Super-Safe Buick

After teetering on the brink of extinction only a few years ago, Buick seems to be back in the black and on a roll these days. The automaker has done a rather impressive job shedding its unfortunate but well-deserved "built for seniors" image by replacing the lumbering, stodgy cars of its past, with sleeker, sexier looking new machines equipped with the latest performance, safety and entertainment technologies.

Take the recently redesigned Enclave, for instance. It brings a comfortable, upscale feel to the midsize crossover segment with lots of amenities, a well-designed interior, and a smooth ride. Similarly, both the Regal and Verano sedans offer composed handling, high-quality interiors, and a standard features galore.

Now, it's time for the LaCrosse, the automaker's flagship and the vehicle that started the company's whole revival movement, to get a refresh. And while the updates for model year 2014 might seem insignificant on the surface, they are well executed as a whole and will help the car compete better against its pricier and more overtly luxurious European rivals – the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Volvo S80 –  which until recently held a distinct advantage in nearly every respect. Other competitors include other "affordable" luxury cars such as the Acura TL, Lincoln MKZ, Lexus ES, Chrysler 300, Toyota Avalon, and Nissan Maxima (the LaCrosse falls somewhere in between the aforementioned two groups).

On the outside, the LaCrosse's sheet-metal gets a little s more dramatic, front and rear. Upfront, you'll find a somewhat-larger waterfall grille, similar in design to the ones featured by its smaller siblings the Regal and Verano, and new headlamps with LED technology. The pair gives the car a slightly more aggressive demeanor. Ditto out back, where the taillights now are LEDs and tied together with a slim chrome strip across the trunk-lid.

Overall, the car looks clean and appealing. That said, it still seems somewhat chunky. No matter how sporty and aggressive Buick tries to make this car look, there's no disguising that this is a big, hefty car.
There have been more significant improvements inside the car. The cabin is more refined than ever before and ergonomically designed. Material quality was good in the 2013, but is even better in the 2014. And there is plenty of room to seat five comfortably.

The most notable improvements, however, are on the tech side. First, we give kudos to the updated IntelliLink infotainment system, which now features swipe-and-drag controls like a tablet, similar to Cadillac's CUE system but more streamlined. It's intuitive and easy to use, cutting the center-stack-button count from 17 to seven.

Also, Buick is offering a pair of cutting-edge safety packages designed to keep the driver alert to his surroundings. Driver Confidence I ($2,125) includes forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, lane-change alert, side blind-zone alert, rear cross-traffic alert, HID articulating headlamps, fog lamps and a head-up display. For another $1,745 you can add Driver Confidence II and get a haptic driver's seat (it vibrates to alert the driver rather than beeping), adaptive cruise control, and collision preparation, which includes "mitigation" braking if the driver doesn't hit the pedal soon enough.
On the road, we were pleasantly surprised by how adeptly or nimbly this car handled the various road conditions we threw at it. Note: The LaCrosse is not a sport sedan. It is designed for soaking up miles in comfort rather than blasting down back roads at breakneck speeds. Even so, we found it to be responsive, well behaved, and handle every twist and turn, tight or sweeping, with relative aplomb (better than its predecessors) thanks to the optional magnetic adjustable suspension, which includes real-time adjustable damping.

Steering was also precise with excellent feedback. Road imperfections were well-damped; you can hear them, but you don't much feel them through the steering wheel.
Unfortunately, this was only true with the front-wheel drive models. Adaptive damping is not available in all-wheel drive cars, which we found to lack the smooth ride and light steering of the front-wheel drive models. They simply felt simply felt heavy.

As far as the safety features are concerned, the ones that could be tested without bending metal operated just as advertised. In fact, the adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and lane departure warning were some of the best of breed we have ever tested.

Under the hood, the base model comes is equipped with a four-cylinder 182-hp engine with GM's eAssist mild-hybrid technology or a 304-hp V6. Both mate to six-speed automatic transmission. Both were quiet and returned respectable, refined performance. Acceleration was smooth, but not overly quick. A little more oomph would have been appreciated. But you certainly won't be wanting when it comes time to pass another vehicle or enter a crowded roadway. The eAssist earns an impressive EPA highway fuel rating of 36 mpg, while the V6 deliver 28 mpg.

Look for the new 2014 LaCrosse to hit the streets in September with a price tag between $34,060 to $46,875.

The 2014 GMC Sierra Truck Engine

Watch and find out why the engines in the new 2014 GMC #Sierra Truck are our most highly engineered Sierra engines, ever.

Great job to our team for earning two 5-star reviews on Cars.com and Edmunds!

5 star review on Cars.com!

"I went to Capital Buick GMC to test drive a used make/model I was considering. It turns out the design of the vehicle didn't meet my needs but I appreciate the courteous and respectful treatment I received from the sales team. It always nice to be able to walk out of dealership without feeling pressured to buy a car. That's the kind of dealership I like to buy from."-Johnny D.

5 star review on Edmunds!

 

"The salespeople were friendly and very knowledgeable, helpful and considerate no pressure to buy, gave me a good deal." 

 

 

Here’s your Car Care Tip of the Week: Check your windshield wipers!

The summertime is notorious for sudden, violent thunderstorms. When buckets of water are beating against your windshield, you need wipers that really work. Even more so at night, when a rain storm can decrease visibility to 15 or 20 feet in front of your vehicle.

Thanks to Salina for this great review of our dealership and team!

"From the search on your website to the completion on the sale was a great flawless experience. You had the exact vehicle I was looking for and the best price. I compared to 2 other local dealerships and neither couldn't even match your price. In fact, one was certain you were misleading me. Well it was the exact opposite. Mike from Internet Sales was great. professional and upfront. There were no surprises. He did an excellent walk through of the vehicle. Never seemed rushed. Millard was great with finalizing the financials. extremely personable and ffriendly. I was extremely happy with the entire experience and will definitely recommend this dealership. And I love my GMC Acadia."
