The All-New 2011 Buick LaCrosse: An Adrenaline Rush
I must begin by admitting that I’ve been a die-hard Buick fan ever since I fell in love with the Grand Sport convertible in the late ‘60s. Once I grew out of my desire for a muscle car, Buick became the vehicle in that sweet-spot between luxury and real common sense. They’re stylish, sophisticated vehicles that, at the same time, deliver unmistakable value.
It wasn’t so long ago I put truck springs on my ’93 Roadmaster station wagon and hauled everything from as many sheets of drywall as the back would hold to a full load of gravel on top of a tarp. No one is harder on a vehicle than I am, and Buick has always come through for me. At 175,000 miles I traded in the station wagon but, since then I have talked to Roadmaster owners that have driven theirs for 250,000 and over 350,000 miles. Now I’m never surprised to hear how far someone has driven their Buick.
When I look at the all-new 2011 LaCrosse I see a vehicle that has redefined world-class in every way; it’s a visual knock-out and a technological marvel. Both the interior and exterior have sculptured lines the Europeans haven’t even thought of yet. My wife Patricia and I are both artists, so we can appreciate the truly phenomenal design innovations both inside and outside this new LaCrosse. It’s a work of art on wheels and then some.
You could pay $70,000, $80,000 even $100,000 for a vehicle this technologically advanced but why would you when the new LaCrosse is tens of thousands less. I don’t believe it’s possible to get more for your vehicle dollar than you do in the new LaCrosse. Even standing still this vehicle will move you.
The Ice Blue Ambient lighting in the interior is nothing less than enchanting. This is one of the most elegant interiors I have ever seen. Every possible option is available in the LaCrosse but the real hook is the unbelievable ride. The six speed automatic moves through the gears so effortlessly you probably won’t even stop to consider how much it is saving you on gas.
My wife is a real fan of the available remote start and heated front drive and passenger seat because we rarely have room to get a car in the garage and everyone knows how cold it gets on a snowy January morning. The available all-wheel drive will come in handy on those days as well.
The headrest mounted available dual DVD players are neatly tucked away when the kids aren’t with you but are a life saver on a trip of any length. I think the OnStar stolen vehicle assist and vehicle slowdown are like insurance and fire extinguishers. You hope you never need them but you’re happy to have them everyday.
The LaCrosse comes with either a 182 horsepower four-cylinder or a 280 horsepower V-6. I have always been a fan of the General Motors V-6 power plant because it delivers the fuel efficiency associated with 4-cylinder motors not that long ago but it has the power you would only expect from a V-8.
Being a V-6 fan, I was really amazed at the acceleration you get with the 4-cylinder. No problem getting on the highway or passing in this baby. As gas prices continue to rise, it could quickly convert me to the more economical 4-cylinder platform.
When you start thinking about driving the all-new 2011 Buick LaCrosse, think about the folks at Marquitz Buick Cadillac GMC in Troy, Missouri. The Marquitz team is always knowledgeable, friendly and professional. They know the vehicles in and out and in my experience, no one will work harder to get to a payment that works for you and send you home in a new Buick, Cadillac or GMC. They’re not out to take advantage of you like some of those guys in the city. Marquitz will treat you like a friend and neighbor every time and hat’s why they have so many return customers.

2011 Cadillac DTS: A Twenty First Century Version of the Classic Cadillac!
It wasn’t that long ago when I believed my 1998 Cadillac Sedan De Ville was probably the only car I would want to own for the rest of my days. I’m pretty large so I appreciated the full-sized comfort; I drove a lot for business and couldn’t imagine riding 500 miles a day in anything else and, there was the pride and mystique of owning a Cadillac. I greatly mourned its loss when they stopped production. I sat in a 2011 Cadillac DTS for the first time a few days ago and realized this new vehicle has everything my De Ville had to offer along with a long list of advancements they hadn’t even dreamed of in ’98.
If you’re like me and sold on the advantages of a full sized luxury vehicle, Cadillac DTD and STS are the only real choices. Other Vehicles call themselves full-sized but when you get inside you feel like you’re stuffing a phone booth like they did in the ‘60s. There is just no substitute for full-sized luxury.
My old De Ville had cruise control but the new Adaptive Cruise Control uses radar to help you maintain your specified following distance automatically and effortlessly. With Adaptive Remote Start you can activate the engine, climate control, defroster and optional heated or cooled front seats from 200 feet away for the utmost convenience. You’ll never have to sit on a cold seat again.
I’m a lot taller than my wife so it’s tough to get into the car after she’s driven it. With available Memory Seating, you touch one button and the vehicle automatically adjust the driver’s seat, power tilt and telescoping steering wheel (when equipped), outside mirrors, and audio and climate settings for your preferences. Believe me, it’s a great feeling when your car remembers you and sets everything up the way you like it. Available Ultrasonic Front and Rear Park Assist issues audible alerts to help you see what’s out of sight ahead of or behind you so, you can park with ease and confidence. It doesn’t take long to get used to the heated and cooled leather front seats or the memory seating. The dual-zone automatic climate control has individual climate settings for the driver and right-front passenger so you can keep the temperature in your zone exactly where you like it and the passenger can do the same.
The Tire Pressure Monitor has a sensor in each tire and constantly monitors air pressure. Should there be a drop in pressure, you will receive an alert via the Driver Information Center. With OnStar Automatic Crash Response built-in sensors in your vehicle can automatically send an alert to OnStar in the event of a crash. An OnStar Advisor is immediately connected to your vehicle to see if you’re okay. Even if you don’t respond, the Advisor can use GPS technology to locate you and request that emergency help be sent right away. It’s also good to know the STS is carefully designed to provide a host of features to help keep you from getting into a collision in the first place. By comparing driver steering input with vehicle response, the Electronic Stability Control System helps you maintain control by quickly applying abs brakes to any wheel that begins to slip, and adjusts the power to help correct the steering. It’s called StabiliTrak and it’s a General Motors exclusive.
The available Magnetic Ride Control suspension system uses advanced sensors that read the road up to 1,000 times a second, then automatically applies the necessary dampening forces to improve handling and ride quality. Speed-sensitive, Magnasteer variable-assist rack-and-pinion power steering gives you a firm control and I think anyone will notice the difference. You just feel more in control when driving the new Cadillac DTS.
Touch-screen DVD-based navigation with voice recognition will help you find your destination and focus better on driving at the same time. XM NavTraffic is an optional, satellite-delivered traffic information service that displays real-time traffic data when equipped with available navigation system. Of course there’s Bluetooth® Wireless Technology for your phone and a killer sound system.
I know this is beginning to sound a bit like a science fiction movie with radar in a car that remembers what you like, lets you know if you have a low tire, monitors conditions and adjusts for better control, tells you how to get where you’re going and calls for help in case of an accident, but it’s all true. The 2011 Cadillac DTS is just light-years ahead of anything I’ve ever driven.
When you decide to drive the Cadillac DTS there’s a place that will make you feel just a cozy as the warm leather seats in the Cadillac DTS. It’s Marquitz Buick Cadillac GMC in Troy, Missouri. The folks at Marquitz are Cadillac experts so they can show you every single amazing thing this vehicle can do for you. They will also take the time to make you feel like you’re dealing with a friend and neighbor. The Marquitz team wants you to enjoy the best vehicle purchase and ownership experience possible so everyone from the sales associates to the service writers will treat you with courtesy and respect. It’s the Marquitz way of doing business and I think you’ll agree that the treatment at Marquitz is just as luxurious as the Cadillac vehicles they sell and expertly service.
They won’t try to take advantage of you on price either, just because you’ll be looking at a luxury car. Marquitz prices Cadillac luxury as competitively as anyone I’ve seen. They’ll work harder than anyone to get you more for your trade and get to a payment that works for you. So, if you are looking for one of the best vehicles money can buy at a price that is exceptionally competitive, there’s only one choice… It’s Marquitz.

The all-new 2011 GMC Terrain is Big Enough for the Entire Family and gets up to 32 MPG
I have always looked for versatility in a vehicle. I need one that works like a business sedan when I’m driving a client, one that hauls like a truck when I’m renovating a house and one that will be roomy and comfortable for the entire family when the kids and grandkids are in town. The all-new 2011 GMC Terrain fills the bill like no other vehicle. I’m a big guy at 6’4” and over 200 pounds, so I do need a lot of room, but I’ve never wanted to sacrifice fuel economy for comfort.
The all-new 2011 Terrain offers an estimated 32 mpg highway for fuel economy and rewards you with big-SUV comfort, yet fits into smaller garages and tighter parking spaces with ease. The Terrain offers class-leading highway fuel economy without sacrificing performance. The 2.4L I-4 comes with an “ECO ” mode to help save fuel. The 6-speed automatic transmission features a wide ratio spread with a very low first gear for brisk acceleration from a stop, and a very high sixth gear overdrive ratio that helps save fuel during highway cruising.
Its clever MultiFlex rear seat slides to create class-leading rear leg room, and can even recline for rear passenger comfort. The seatbacks also fold down to create nearly 64 cubic feet of available cargo space. Useful technologies include a Rear Vision Camera, USB port, and an available programmable power rear lift gate. When you need extra traction, available AWD automatically adapts to changing road conditions for improved handling. Thanks to direct-injection engine technology, Terrain features best-in-class AWD highway fuel economy and a best-in-class AWD highway cruising range.
As a young 16 year-old driver, I was able to learn every road in Lincoln County in short order but things have changed. Every day means new roads and the re-routing of old ones. That’s where Terrain’s available touch-screen navigation system featuring advanced mapping capabilities and voice recognition for hands-free operation comes in.
The available Rear-Seat Entertainment System offers twin seatback-mounted flip-up LCD DVD video screens that can pivot 205 degrees, allowing passengers of various heights to adjust them to their comfort. Each screen includes a video input jack to plug in various gaming systems or other electronic devices. All Terrain audio systems include USB connectivity, allowing you to access or recharge various electronic devices, wherever you are. Thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, you can sync up your Bluetooth mobile device with Terrain for in-vehicle, hands-free calling. Steering wheel-mounted controls allow you to start a call and control volume, then dial by voice and listen to your call through the audio system.
With an available receiver hitch, Terrain 2.4L I-4 engine models can trailer up to 1500 pounds. Equipped with the 3.0L V-6 engine, Terrain offers unsurpassed maximum capacity in its class—up to 3500 pounds. In practical terms, the I-4 is great for trailering a pair of jet skis or motorcycle, while the V-6 can handle most single-axle camping trailers.
Hopefully you are sold on the unbeatable capabilities of the Terrain and it’s time to talk about where to test drive one. If you’re looking for a dealer that has a great selection of Terrains at the most aggressive discounts you’ll find… It’s Marquitz: Marquitz Buick Cadillac GMC in Troy, Missouri.
The Marquitz team is always knowledgeable, friendly and professional. In my experience, no one will work harder to get to a payment that works for you and send you home in a new Terrain. They’re not out to take advantage of you like some of those guys in the city. Marquitz will treat you like a friend and neighbor every time and that’s why they have so many return customers.
You know that GMC is Professional Grade well… so are all the folks at Marquitz. Stop by and check out one of most versatile vehicles anywhere, the all-new 2011 GMC Terrain at Marquitz Buick Cadillac GMC in Troy, Mo. For my money there’s nothing better than being a member of the Marquitz Automotive Family.
