2016 Chevy Cruze Changes the World

DURAND, Mich.– For thousands of years humans have developed languages to communicate, but the 21st century has brought us into an age of using new symbols called emojis that can somewhat accurately convey thoughts and feelings.

On Monday, Chevy put out a press release hinting at news on the 2016 Cruze– transcribed completely in emojis. We had some trouble figuring out the symbolism, so we took the easy way out and waited for Chevy to tell us what all of the smileys and hearts meant.

Spoiler alert: If you wan to decipher the emoji press release yourself, stop reading now!

The gist of it is this: The 2016 Chevy Cruze changes the world after debuting June 24, 2015, at 7 p.m., at the Fillmore Theater in Detroit, and the new model has a list of updated features covering technology, design and efficiency to prove it.

The 2016 Cruze is sporty and smart, with an athletic design and technology to uphold 7 connected devices, 4G LTE Wi-Fi and, as the first in its class, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s also an efficient vehicle with an EPA-estimate 35 mpg highway, and a safe vehicle with 10 air bags and standard OnStar available for 6 months to keep a driver and 4 passengers safe.

The 2016 Chevy Cruze changed the world after revealing itself at the Fillmore Theater in Detroit, but for now all we can do is admire from afar– the new Cruze won’t hit global markets until spring 2016. Until then, take a stab at deciphering the emoji press release, even though you already know the news! Check your what you come up with against Chevy's deciphered version here.

Chevrolet's Forward Collision Alert Gives Customers a Backup Plan

DURAND, Mich. - According to research done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, rear-end crashes make up more than one in four collisions reported to police each year! Interestingly enough, a majority of these accidents could be prevented if the drivers took more precautions. Chevrolet decided to take this statistic and come up with a solution that would help improve their customer's awareness and most importantly, their safety. 

Chevrolet's Forward Collision Alert gives customers a backup plan. Available on several 2015 Chevy models, including the Silverado, Tahoe, Malibu, Equinox, and Traverse, is this amazing technology that is able to alert customers in everyday car-following situations. If they are following too closely or if they are potentially seconds away from a crash, the driver is immediately alerted. An available Front Automatic Braking technology, available on select models, takes things one step further and will automatically slow or stop the vehicle under certain conditions, like if a driver does not respond quickly to an alert.

Forward Collision Alert system will vary depending on the Chevy model. The system will use either a radar that is located in the front grille area or a camera mounted behind the windshield in front of the inside rearview mirror. Regardless, once the technology is activated, a green icon will appear when a vehicle is detected ahead and an amber icon will appear when the driver is getting too close. If the driver is approaching a vehicle too quickly, a red "Collision Alert" warning will flash followed by a rapid, high-pitched beeping. If your Chevy is equipped with the Safety Alert Seat, the vehicle will pulse the seat five times on both sides rather than sounding off beeps. 

Chevrolet's Forward Collision Alert gives customers a backup plan, meaning the technology will not completely replace the need for a driver's awareness, but rather to help to enhance it. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety estimated that forward collision technology could actually prevent up to 879 fatal crashes a year! You can improve your awareness out on the road today with help from Graff Chevy Durand! Stop by the dealership and check out Chevrolet's Forward Collision Alert for yourself on the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe.
