Award Winning Chevrolets at Uftring Weston

Chevrolet is always winning awards. The Chevrolet brand was recently given several Edmunds Awards, recognized by Edmunds.com. Seven of Chevy’s models including the Impala, Camaro, Colorado, Corvette Stingray, Silverado, Traverse and Tahoe were named nine different awards for this 2014 year.

The new Chevy Colorado, Impala, Corvette Stingray, Traverse, Camaro, Silverado 1500 and Tahoe were awarded “Most Popular.” The Corvette Stingray and Traverse were also named the most “Top Rated Vehicles.” 

How does a vehicle get awarded? To be considered “Top Rated,” you must be selected from a group of 200 other vehicles. To be labeled a “Most Popular” vehicle, Chevrolet had to meet a certain requirements including the number of unique visitors to the specific type of model. The more a vehicle is searched, the more popular it becomes on the web, the more likely it is to be on the list. And Chevrolet definitely has a big presence on this year’s Edmunds.com Awards!

Happy 50th Ford Mustang!

Last Thursday, April 17, was the 50^th anniversary of the Ford Mustang! We hosted a celebration of the infamous Ford Motor Company model – it was a day full of Mustangs, both old and new. Beginning with a special cake ceremony at 9:30 a.m., the Uftring Automall showroom was full of incredible Mustang machines. From the newest models to aged Mustangs build decades ago, we had a huge variety of vehicles for our Ford enthusiasts to look at.

The Mustang has been such an important icon to both the Ford Motor Company and the Uftring Auto Group. The very first Mustang was premiered on April 17, 1964 at New York’s World Fair! The one-millionth Ford Mustang model was quickly produced just two years later on February 23, 1966. Over 22,000 Mustangs were sold on the day Ford released the Mustang for sale. That’s an incredible sale number, especially back then!

The mustang has evolved through time and has changed the sports car industry forever. The Mustang is an important part of automotive history and continues to be just as exclusive and popular as it was in years past. The newest Mustangs have revolutionized the sports car model completely, expanding its capabilities and horsepower while pushing the technology and the power of a Mustang to its limits – and beyond. We thank those who came out to help us celebrate 50 years of the Mustang, and we thank those who have purchased Mustangs from Uftring Ford all these years. Which Ford Mustang means the most to you?

2015 Nissan Murano

The all-new 2015 Nissan Murano was just debuted last week at the New York Auto Show! This edgy new SUV is guaranteed to be a huge hit among Nissan consumers and one photo of it can explain why. It’s got an obvious Nissan vibe to it, yet it’s so different than any other crossover on the market. According to Nissan, “premium comes standard” in the new Nissan Murano.

At 260 horsepower, the new all-wheel-drive Murano gets an estimated 18 MPG city and 24 MPG highway. It fits 5 passengers comfortably with 4 doors and plenty of extra storage room and cargo space for your needs. That’s what we like to call a perfect SUV.

One of the neatest most innovative features of the 2015 Murano is the Blind Spot and Lane Departure Warnings. You might not think you need help changing lanes or merging onto traffic, but with these safety features you’ll never have to worry again. It’s incredible what this feature can help you accomplish while driving, keeping you on your toes and staying aware of your surroundings on the road. Safety always comes first at Uftring Nissan. Always consider safety features and safety ratings when purchasing a new vehicle.

We’re not quite sure when the 2015 Murano will be available for sale, but you’ll be the first to know about it as soon as we get one on our lot! We know you’re as excited as each of our Uftring Nissan staff are to get behind the wheel of the new Murano. Interested in our Nissan SUV and crossover selection? Check out our inventory!
