OnStar 4G LTE Named "Best of What's New" by Popular Science

PEKIN, Illi. - Their commitment to remain a platform for future innovations certainly paid off as OnStar took home Popular Science's top honor. OnStar 46 LTE was named "Best of What's New" by Popular Science; an award that is given to leaders who are revolutionary in their field. When OnStar announced early this year that it would be shifting their connection from a 2G cellular to high-speed 4G LTE, Popular Science knew that connectivity would never be the same.

If you haven't experienced it already on one of the 30 fully equipped 2015 Buick, GMC, or Cadillac models, OnStar 4G LTE provides vehicles with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot and an entirely new set of advisor services. With a stronger signal than ever, customers can ensure they will have a fast and reliable connection no matter where they may be traveling. This incredible technology also allows for customers to connect up to seven devices to the vehicle as well as use simultaneous voice and data. 

For the last 27 years Popular Science has recognized some of the most impactful innovations out there; which is why it should come as no surprise that among thousands of entrants, the revolutionary OnStar 4G LTE was named the "Best of What's New". The editor-in-chief of Popular Science, Cliff Ransom, revealed that the magazine chooses to honor the innovations that will positively influence our world and challenge people's views of what is possible in the future.

2015 Mustang GT "King Cobra" Package Unveiled at SEMA Show

PEKIN, Illi. - A lot of things went down at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas last week. Some of the industry's biggest leaders were revealing the most impressive concept vehicles of all time; topping one idea after the next. Ford Motor Company was no exception with Ford Racing's debut of a thrilling product built exclusively with Ford Racing performance parts. 

The 2015 Mustang Gt "King Cobra" package was unveiled at the SEMA Show last week and gave attendees plenty to talk about. With a name like King Cobra, they should have known that they were in for a product with some serious bite. Ford Racing has been waiting for the opportunity to get their hands on a 2015 Mustang and develop a series of packages that would push it to the limit. As one of Ford Racing's first performance packages available for the 2015 Mustang, it is definitely setting the bar high. The "King Cobra" is equipped with the "Drag Pack", "Handling Pack", and "Super Pack" supercharger kit, helping to produce an insane 600+ horsepower. 

The Drag Pack allows the Mustang put out an optimal amount of power thanks to its heavy-duty half shafts, and a rear-sub frame kit with pre-installed high-performance bushings to improve traction. The Handling Pack lowers the Mustang one inch with front and rear lowering springs and includes a stabilizer bar kit. The cherry on top of this deadly combination is the Super Pack's 2.3L Twin Vortices Series supercharger assembly; a product co-developed and co-branded by Ford Racing and ROUSH Performance.

The 2015 Mustang GT "King Cobra" Package unveiled at the SEMA Show was built to be a high-performance street-and-drag strip car that can be fully replicated by any Mustang owner with help from Ford Racing's extensive parts catalog. This was one of Ford Racing's main goals. They wanted Mustang owners to be able to open up the Ford Racing parts catalog and have the ability to choose any part that they wanted. Finally, Ford Racing believes that they have created the ultimate package to make this possible - the King Cobra. 

At Velde Autos, we are committed to providing our customers with an unbeatable level of service and a great car buying experience.

2015 GMC Canyon to Offer Four Special Edition Models

PEKIN, Illi - Yes, you read that title correctly. The 2015 GMC Canyon will be offering four, yes, FOUR, special edition models and we aren't talking about the typical SLE and SLT trim levels either! General Motors did it with the 2015 GMC Sierra and now they are giving midsize truck customer's four different trim levels to choose from on both the 2015 and 2016 Canyon. 

With some help from dealership sources, GM Authority was able to learn about what each of the 2015 GMC Canyon four special edition models will have to offer! Check them out -

2015 Canyon Denali -  GM Authority's sources have hinted that the all-but-officially-confirmed edition of the 2015 Canyon will offer a similar appearance package to the Sierra Denali. Along with body-color bumpers and mirrors and the signature chrome grille; the Canyon Denali edition is also expected to offer an exclusive powertrain engine! 

"All Terrain Adventure" 2015 Canyon - This is not the All Terrain model that the Canyon launched during its initial release. This edition of the All Terrain Adventure model will be spicing things up a bit by offering a plethora of new truck-bed accessories, like racks and mounts for bikes or ATVs.

Black-Out "Midnight Edition" 2015 Canyon - Similar to the 2015 GMC Sierra's Elevation trim level, the Canyon's Midnight Edition is expected to black-out everything from the wheels, body-colored grille, and color-keyed door handles, to the mirror caps, side moldings, and the front and rear bumpers. 

Not-Quite-Denali 2015 Canyon SLT "Chrome" Edition -  A name like this pretty much speaks for itself! This model continues to live up to the GM tradition by featuring an abundance of chrome accents. 

Curious about the latest and greatest vehicles that GMC has to offer? Stop by Velde Cadillac Buick GMC to take your favorite model for a spin! At Velde Autos, we are committed to providing our customers with an unbeatable level of service and a great car buying experience.

Trio of New EcoBoost Expeditions Revealed at SEMA Show

PEKIN, Illi. - A trio of new EcoBoost Expeditions were revealed at the SEMA show in Las Vegas last week, proving that the full-size utility vehicle could be taken to an entirely new level of awesome. New for 2015 are three, one-of-a-kind Ford Expeditions - the Tjin, DUB Magazine, and Vaccar Edition - which have enhanced upon the Expedition's already exceptional foundation of space, performance, and capability.

2015 Ford Expedition by Tjin Edition - 
Staying true to the Expedition's sophisticated roots, the Tjin Edition is meant to showcase the vehicle's capability for towing, daily driving, and its role as the ideal promotional show car. The Tjin Edition has a 365-horsepower 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 and six-speed automatic transmission. A charge cooler kit from Vortech Engineering, custom tuneup, side exhausted from MagnaFlow, and high-performance oils and lubricants from Royal Purple help enhance the Tjin Edition's horsepower up to roaring 405!

2015 Ford Expedition by DUB Magazine - 
DUB Magazine tacked on additional amenities that take the 2015 Ford Expedition to the next level of style and sophistication. Of course the DUB Edition looks fairly special on the outside with the DUB custom badging, tinted windows, and an integrated radar section system. However, inside of the vehicle is where the magic really happens. There is a top-of-the-line multimedia and sound system, a savvy new seat and upholstery design, as well as customizable remote-controlled LED lighting. The rear seating area features multiple monitors, complete with a video gaming system and wireless headphones, that can be viewed at various angles from both inside and outside of the vehicle. 

2015 Ford Expedition XLT by Vaccar
Vaccar decided to highlight the 2015 Expedition's winter driving capabilities. The exterior of the Expedition was winterized with a custom Vaccar two-tone mountain gray finish, a Vaccar Grill Guardian brush guard bull bar, swivel hooks by Monster Hooks, spring steps and a hitch stop from Go Rhino!, and a Mega Warrior cargo basket from Yakima Products. Snow and ice really do not stand a chance against this bad boy.

Each of these top industry builders started off with a great foundation of space, performance, and capability and from there were able to create a terrific trio like no other. Expect to hear more about these customized 2015 Ford Expeditions very soon! The trio are currently display at the Las Vegas Convention Center starting today, November 4th, through Friday, November 7th.
