A Buick from Scott McCorkle’s Liberty Buick GMC Dealership is the Perfect Gift!



The holidays are upon us. Whether you’re hitting the road to see family or simply driving around town along with holiday shoppers, you need to take advantage of Buick’s most recent incentive: a 24-month lease that includes 2 years of scheduled maintenance, 2 years of OnStar’s Directions and Connections AND…..are you sitting down? Two years of SiriusXM Satellite Radio. We call it the Buick Experience. 

This is one sweet deal that will make any holiday traffic you’re fighting fade into the background while you tune into great music and glide down the road. 

And there are so many choices. Choose from the 8-passenger capacity Enclave to the Verano with its comprehensive list of features. Buick instructs you to consider it a new lease on luxury – and that’s not just a play on words. 

Edmunds.com says Bick has been “on the upswing…introducing new models that are much more desirable…” Edmunds goes on to say, “the Buick Enclave….sets Buick in the right direction.” The website goes on to compliment Enclave for its roomy cabin, trim, premium leather options and standard 8-passenger seating. And Edmunds gives both new and used Enclaves great reviews.

Other Buick models don’t disappoint either. Buick’s current incentive includes the Buick Regal – brand new! Cars.com points out all the great features that the Regal offers, including eAssist, the IntelliLink and OnStar systems. The Regal offers a great sedan option and adds to the great offerings from Buick. 

So if the impending holiday season has you down, come visit Scott McCorkle’s Liberty Buick GMC Trucks. They’re ready for the holidays and they’re ready to take the pressure off of you – financially and emotionally. Buick’s great new incentives for November helps to free up cash, so you can treat friends and family to more when unwrapping time comes.

New Lightweight Sheet Metal from General Motors



General Motors is working diligently to pioneer a new system of manufacturing sheet metal that is already used in lightweight cars. This new processing procedure will increase the durability of sheet metal without sacrificing weight benefits. GM’s goal for this new processing procedure will be to provide lightweight magnesium sheet metal to consumers in mass quantities.

GM currently has programs that are developing electric powertrain, developing of more efficient engines, and creating industry breakthroughs like the eAssist. Now the new magnesium sheet metal can help consumers save on gas without sacrificing the essentials of stronger materials. The new sheet metal weighs 75 percent less than the traditional steel used in most cars. That translates to direct savings at the pump. You can see these new features now at the Liberty Buick Dealership on East Independence in Charlotte NC. 

One of the main issues with producing a sheet metal this light with this level of strength has been corrosion. This material has been created before, but previous versions of the metal have corroded at a significantly higher rate that prohibited use in the manufacture of vehicles. The new innovative processing technique from GM erases the corrosion issue, and makes the material safe for use in vehicles.

With the new processing system, General Motors will be releasing new vehicles in the future that are designed with magnesium sheet metal in the structure. General Motors also expects to be able to use the magnesium sheet metal in other parts of the vehicle as they continue to refine the processing system to create the strongest lightweight sheet metal possible.

“This innovative use of magnesium is just one example of how GM is leveraging breakthrough technologies that will benefit our customers around the globe,” said Jon Lauckner, GM chief technology officer and vice president of Global Research & Development. “Using high-strength lightweight materials such as magnesium and aluminum is one of the most effective ways to improve vehicle fuel economy and driving performance.”

Greg Warden, the executive director for global vehicle body engineering at GM, also weighed in on the new technologies that are being developed. “Every gram of weight reduction matters when it comes to improving fuel economy. Being able to replace heavier metals with one of the lightest will help us deliver better fuel economy to customers around the world while also still providing the safety and durability they expect.”
