Heiser Announcement: Chevrolet Sweeps 2014 NACTOY Awards
Heiser Chevrolet And Heiser Chevrolet Cadillac proudly announce that the Corvette Stingray, Silverado pickup Sweeps 2014 NACTOY Awards, representing the brand’s first double win!
The all-new +Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and Silverado 1500, now available at Heiser Chevrolet of West Allis and Heiser Chevrolet Cadillac of West Bend, are the 2014 North
American Car and Truck of the Year. It is the first time Chevrolet
has won both awards in the same year. The Silverado was last named Truck of the
Year in 2007 and the Corvette was last named Car of the Year in 1998.
“Chevrolet
is constantly working on delivering the most eye-catching and innovative
vehicles around,” said Mary Ann Scaffidi, family owner of Heiser Automotive
Group. “Both the Corvette and Silverado represent the brand’s commitment to
providing Southeastern Wisconsin -area drivers with the best.”
Presentation
of the North American Car and Truck of the Year awards open media days each
year at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Forty-nine
automotive journalists from the United States and Canada vote to recognize the
most outstanding vehicles of the year based on factors including innovation,
design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value for the dollar.
The new
Corvette Stingray is the most powerful standard model ever, with 455 horsepower
and 460 lb-ft of torque from a 6.2L V-8 engine – and 460 horsepower /465 lb-ft
with the available performance exhaust system – enabling models with the
available Z51 Performance Package to sprint from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds.
Silverado’s
available 5.3L EcoTec3 V-8
generates 355 horsepower for confident towing and hauling, yet seamlessly
switches to four cylinders to save fuel during light-load driving. With an EPA
estimated highway fuel economy of up to 23 mpg, Silverado offers the best fuel
economy of any V-8 pickup.
“It is
a distinct honor for the entire Chevrolet team to have both the Corvette and
Silverado recognized with the prestigious North American Car and Truck of the
Year Awards,” said Alan Batey, General Motors senior vice president, Global
Chevrolet.
