Driving the Midwest at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show

Earlier this month, we previewed what the General Motors display at the Chicago Auto Show. While at the show, we discovered several new and redesigned vehicles from Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac, plus a large Chevrolet Volt display and fun, interactive stations for people of all ages.

Our first stop was the Chevrolet area, where we had the opportunity to take a peek at the new 2013 Malibu. The new look combined with a 580 mpg range on the highway makes this one impressive car. We can’t wait to take the “eco” model for a spin! We also took a closer look inside the Chevrolet Volt, checked out the all-new Spark and drooled over the new Corvettes and Camaros.

Buick and GMC didn’t disappoint at the show. One of our favorite vehicles was the all-new Buick Verano. Although it’s a compact vehicle, the Verano boasts an upgraded interior that includes Buick IntelliLink that syncs with your smartphone to customize your ride. We also got a first look at the redesigned GMC Acadia and Acadia Denali. Back with a new look, tons of space and an industry-first center side airbag, the new Acadia is easily a top pick for growing families.

Last but not least, we stopped at the Cadillac display. We experienced the luxury of the new ATS, learned about the new Cadillac Use Experience, or CUE , display technology and saw the Cadillac Ciel concept car. Designed as a convertible for hitting the open road, this beauty stole our hearts!
