Renowned for luxury and de-sign, Cadillac has recently addeddynamic driving performance toits list of attributes, said DavidLeone, Cadillac’s executive chiefengineer.“Now, as 2016 model year pro-

duction begins, Cadillac adds newfuel-saving technologies,” Leonesaid.Active Fuel Management and

Automatic Stop/Start technolo-gies, along with widespread use ofa new 8-speed transmission, arecombining to raise fuel economyratings and reduce emissions inCadillac’s portfolio, he said.Cadillac’s all-new six-cylinder

engine contains Active Fuel Man-agement -- or cylinder deactiva-tion -- technology enabling it toseamlessly switch from six-cylin-der to four-cylinder operationunder certain light-load condi-tions, while maintaining excel-lent performance, said GMspokesman Steve Martin.The new 3.6-liter engine is part

of the 2016 ATS and CTS product

lines. Additionally, the CadillacEscalade luxury SUV’s V8 willshift to four-cylinder operation inmany daily driving conditions, aswill Cadillac’s all-new high-per-formance CTS-V sedan.Cadillac’s advanced engine

technology will accelerate in thenew Twin Turbo-powered CT6prestige sedan, Martin said,which will be the world’s onlysix-cylinder engine to combineturbocharging with cylinder de-activation and Stop/Start tech-nology.Cadillac’s ATS and CTS also

Sometimes it takes a Britishwoman to design the All-Ameri-can truck.Helen Emsley, executive direc-

tor, Global GMC Design and UserExperience, leads a team of de-signers who continuously pushdesigns to create a distinctivelook and feel to the GMC lineup.Emsley said that having a

strong team is important when itcomes to design, especially inher case, because they don’treally have pickup trucks inGreat Britain.She started to work for GM

right after she completed her ed-ucation at the Royal College ofArt in London and BirminghamPolytechnic.“Vauxhall had just closed down

their design studio,” Emsley said.“So I got a job at Opel and wentstraight to Russelsheim, Ger-many. This was a few months be-fore the fall of the Berlin Wall.“I really didn’t speak German,

but when I wanted to practicethat language, all my German col-leagues said they wanted to learnEnglish. When I left seven oreight years later, they all spokegreat English, though some had abit of Yorkshire accent. But myGerman? Not so good.”After Germany, Emsley came to

the Tech Center in Warren for

what was supposed to be a three-year stint. But after two years,she was asked if she wanted tostay longer. She said yes and hasbeen at the Tech Center eversince. Her son Connor is 13 andwas born over here.“What’s interesting,” Emsley

said, “is that my original job herewas in the color and trim depart-ment. Ed Welburn, vice presidentof Global Design, asked me towork on the new Corvette, whichcame out recently. I joked thatheadlines would read, ‘BritishWoman Ruins Corvette.’ But thatwas successful.”Then, Emsley said, Welburn at-

tached her to the new Sierra de-sign team. She pointed out thatpickup trucks aren’t somethingthat they have in Britain. Thatwas the point, Welburn said. Shewould bring a new perspective tothe vehicle.“I had a lot to learn,” Emsley

said. “Trucks really are a differ-ent way of thinking. And, like Isaid, I was the color-and-trimperson. I had a lot to learn fromother people on the team aboutoverall truck design.”Emsley said that what she

found so interesting was thatover the past few years there’sbeen a real split in truck usersand how they use their vehicles.

Chevrolet and General Motorsemployees, dealers and cus-tomers are again uniting againstbreast cancer.

This year’s target is to exceedthe nearly $1.1 million raised bythe American Cancer Society in2014 through Chevrolet’s nation-wide grassroots support of Mak-ing Strides Against Breast Cancerwalks and other activities, saidGM spokeswoman Afaf Farah.

This October’s events includeemployee- and dealership-spon-sored fundraising walks; aChevrolet Certified Servicematching rebate contributionprogram; appearances by a spe-cially themed pink Camaro SSpace car and a USAC NationalMidget Car.

The towers of General Motors’Renaissance Center world head-quarters in Detroit are onceagain lit with bands of pink tocommemorate the fact that Octo-ber is Breast Cancer AwarenessMonth, Farah said.

Even the all-new ChevroletSpark has joined in the fight,Farah said. A special “Pink Out”Spark was designed to honorbreast cancer survivors and sup-porters.

The special Spark wears a pro-duction Techno Pink exterior fin-ish and is embellished with cus-tom pink elements inside andout.

The “Pink Out” Spark will visitselected community walksthroughout the month, Farahsaid.

Last year, with Chevrolet’s sup-port, the American Cancer Socie-ty raised $1,079,633 in contribu-tions to Making Strides AgainstBreast Cancer.

The money helps fund re-search, wellness and breast can-cer awareness education, andsupport for breast cancer pa-tients and their families.

“The generosity of our employ-ees, dealers and customersshows how everyday heroes canunite to make a difference ineradicating a disease impacting1.5 million people,” said DonJohnson, vice president, Chevro-let Sales and Service.

“For the second year, we arecommitted to support the Ameri-can Cancer Society in continuingits fight for more birthdays.”

Johnson led Chevrolet’s in-volvement in Detroit’s MakingStrides Against Breast Cancerwalk held Oct. 13 in downtownDetroit.

“The American Cancer Societyis thrilled to have the support ofChevrolet and General Motorsnationwide to help us lead thefight against breast cancer,” saidJill Elder, vice president, Ameri-can Cancer Society, Great LakesDivision.

“One in every two women new-ly diagnosed with breast cancerreaches out to the American Can-cer Society for support. The con-tributions of General Motors andChevrolet help make it possibleto do the most for people withbreast cancer today and enableus to continue the great workwe’re doing to find cures to endthe disease tomorrow.”

Here are the Chevrolet-spon-sored activities in October insupport of Making StridesAgainst Breast Cancer:

• Chevrolet and General Mo-tors employee walks – All month,General Motors facilities, plantsand warehouses across the coun-try will participate in fundraisingwalks.

• Chevrolet dealership walks –Hundreds of dealerships have al-ready signed up to sponsorteams in community walksthroughout October – with moreexpected to join.

These walks alone accountedfor more than half of the money

raised in 2011 that went to Mak-ing Strides Against Breast Can-cer.

Those interested in participat-ing in a Making Strides for BreastCancer walk in their communitycan visit the Web site www.mak-ingstrideswalk.org.

• Chevrolet Certified Service –Customers who bring their vehi-cle to a Chevrolet dealer for qual-ifying services in the month ofOctober can contribute part orall of their rebates and Chevroletwill match them, up to a total of$150,000.

On the one hand, she said,there are the traditional truckowners. They are very brand loy-al and use the vehicles for work,whether it’s farming or construc-tion work or whatever. They justwant trucks that they can ownfor a decade and put 300,000miles on.She went on to say that there

is a newer breed of truck ownerwho likes the hauling capacity ofa pickup truck, but still wants avehicle they can use in more reg-ular circumstances.So in the past, Emsley said, in-

teriors of pickups were reallybuilt around function. Ownerswould have been happy trans-planting the interiors of their oldtrucks into their new trucks.But as reasons why people

owned pickups evolved, whatpeople wanted in pickup interi-ors evolved as well, she said.So in a model like the Sierra,

which is aimed at customerswho want all the truck capacitiesof the Silverado, but with moreluxurious features, it became thejob of Emsley’s design team tocome up with designs that metthose expectations.Exemplifying industrial sculp-

ture, the GMC Sierra’s overall de-sign is a defining attribute of thebrand – focusing on the use ofauthentic materials, definedlines, sophisticated colors andthe latest technology.“When people look in the

rearview mirror, I want a GMC tostand out,” says Emsley. “I wantthem to know it’s a GMC; to tellfrom the unmistakable chromegrille and the ‘C-shaped’ LED sig-nature that it’s a GMC. It’s aboutprecision and quality, makingsomething different from all oth-er brands.”Emsley said her interest in de-

sign began in textiles while grow-ing up in Great Britain and at-tending the Royal College of Art.She compares using real materi-als such as woods, leather andmetal in automotive design to us-ing the best components avail-

able to create high fashion.“You can have a fantastic de-

sign for a dress, but if you’re notusing quality materials, the dresshangs terribly,” she said. “We feelstrongly about using quality ma-terials and crafting refined,sculpted silhouettes for our vehi-cles.”That attention to detail has

been well-received. GMC re-ceived Kelley Blue Book’s 2014and 2015 Brand Image Award forMost Refined Brand, based onthousands of online consumers’perceptions.Emsley, who drives a Sierra

heavy-duty pickup, believes ex-pert craftsmanship and function-ality appeal to everyone.Whether it’s a reconfigurable in-strument cluster and durablecarpet on the interior, or chromedetails and bold lines on the ex-terior, GMC embodies premiumdesign, she said.“Everyone deserves a beauti-

ful truck,” Emsley said. “We wantto give people what they wantand take GMC design as far as wecan. There are no boundaries towhat we can do.” And let’s faceit, Emsley said, the pickup truckmarket is very competitive.“GM faces tough competition

from other automakers and theonly way to stay ahead of thegame is to pay attention to thedetails and provide the featuresand luxury that today’s buyerswant,” she said.

The Macomb Community Col-lege Foundation has been noti-fied of a $700,000 gift that will befunded from an anonymousdonor’s estate.The donation is part of the col-

lege’s first philanthropic campaign,Mission Macomb: Creating Op-portunities and Changing Lives,which is focused on supporting thecommunity’s economic vitality bystrengthening the region’s talentpool, fostering innovation and en-trepreneurship, and enhancingcultural enrichment.“MCC won’t see this money

right away,” said Dawn Magretta,director of the Macomb Commu-nity College Foundation. “Thepledge is set to come from thedonor’s estate, so the donor willhave to die first. This sort ofpledge is actually pretty commonfor many schools, but it’s a firstfor MCC. A lot of people want toleave a legacy while they are stillalive to support programs andschools such as ours.”Magretta said that the donor,

who wishes to remain anony-mous, is not a former student atMCC. The donation comes aspart of the school’s first philan-thropic campaign.“We’re in the middle of the

school’s endowment campaign,”Magretta said. “It’s not somethingwe’ve done before. The goal is toraise $10 million. The campaignstarted in July of 2013. Right now,we’ve raised $4.5 million.”Magretta said the $700,000 is

what’s known as a planned gift.as opposed to a cash gift.

Magretta said the gift will funda $50,000 endowed scholarshipat Macomb Community Collegeto support accounting students,a $100,000 endowed fund to sup-port professional developmentopportunities for the college’sbusiness faculty and $550,000 tosupport Macomb’s Center for In-novation and Entrepreneurship,a one-stop resource for both stu-dents and community membersfor entrepreneurship educationand training, mentorship forstartups and existing small busi-ness, and access to capital.“We are both excited and hum-

bled by this incredibly generousgift,” saidMCC President James Ja-cobs. “Our donor is not only sig-

naling a strong confidence in thequality of Macomb CommunityCollege’s business and entrepre-neurial programs, but is also in-vesting in the future promise of ourstudents, faculty and community.”The donor was personally im-

pressed by the power of the col-lege’s Center for Innovation andEntrepreneurship after experi-encing its first student pitchcompetition in April 2015 andseeing the impactful, hands-oneducational process the competi-tion provided.An initial field of 50 students

was winnowed down to eight fi-nalists who vied to win up to a$5,000 award to support theirbusiness idea.

Wright Museum.“For much of our first half-cen-

tury, Ford has been a steadfastchampion for the museum. Wehave the utmost gratitude fortheir dedication and genuinecommitment to our mission aswe, together, celebrate AfricanAmerican history and culture.”“For 50 years, the Charles H.

legendary, and his work in thepursuit of freedom, justice, andequality has made the museum anational treasure.”To parallel its 50th anniver-

sary, the museum procured theInspiring Beauty: 50 Years ofEbony Fashion Fair exhibit, pro-viding a multisensory retrospec-tive of the charity fashion specta-cle that redefined the conceptsof beauty, style and empower-

ment for African Americans. TheGM Foundation supported bring-ing the exhibit to Detroit with a$75,000 grant.For several years, members of

the GM Global Design Centerhave donated original pieces ofart to benefit local charities.The tradition has continued,

Wilmore said. This year, 18 De-sign Center members created 26pieces and donated them to themuseum for auction to interest-ed parties.Support also came from other

citizens and corporate donors,including five leaders in theAfrican-American business com-munity that donated $100,000each.Ed Welburn, vice president of

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) –Volkswagen’s flagship brandplans to change its diesel tech-nology in Europe and NorthAmerica as well as develop newhybrid and electric vehicles inresponse to its emissions scan-dal.The new steps were part of a

plan to confront the company’sscandal over cars that wereequipped with computer soft-ware that let them evade U.S.emissions tests.Volkswagen division head Her-

bert Diess said in a statementOct. 13 that the company wouldchange its approach to dieselemissions in Europe and NorthAmerica and adopt so-called se-lective catalytic converter tech-nology, or SCR, a system that in-jects the chemical substanceurea into the exhaust streamto neutralize harmful nitrogenoxides.He said that change would

come “as soon as possible.”Diess also said the company

would reduce spending on in-vestments by 1 billion euros($1.1 billion) and redouble ef-forts to cut other costs.Volkswagen will expand its

modular construction system –which involves sharing technicalspecifications and parts acrossdifferent models to save money –to include new plug-in hybridand electric vehicles.The company additionally

plans to turn the next version ofits large Phaeton luxury sedaninto an electric-only vehicle todemonstrate the company’stechnological competence.The Phaeton, a project intro-

duced by former CEO FerdinandPiech, has been criticized as amoney-loser. The Piech andPorsche families own the majori-ty of voting shares in Volkswagenthrough a holding company.“The Volkswagen brand is

repositioning itself for the fu-ture,” Diess said in a statement.“We are becoming more efficient,we are giving our product rangeand our core technologies a newfocus, and we are creating roomfor forward-looking technologiesby speeding up the efficiencyprogram.”Diess is a recent hire from

competitor BMW, where he over-saw development of new modelsincluding the i3 electric and i8plug-in hybrid vehicles.Volkswagen AG, whose other

brands include Audi and Skoda,is facing a crisis after U.S. author-ities said it evaded emissionschecks on 482,000 vehicles. Thecompany has set aside 6.5 billioneuros ($7.3 billion) to cover thecosts of recalls and fines. But an-alysts say the costs in terms offines and lost sales will likely beconsiderably higher.

stationary, such as at a red light.The engine quickly and auto-

matically resumes as soon as thedriver releases the brake, Martinsaid.Previous Start/Stop systems of-

ten relied on the car’s batterysystem, Martin said. Cadillac em-ploys a voltage stabilization sys-tem powered by ultracapacitors tore-start the engine. This alternativepower source inside the car, saidMartin, enables smoother andquicker re-starts compared withprevious systems, while enhancingdurability by reducing strain onthe existing electrical systems.Cadillac’s new 8-speed trans-

mission nets another efficiencygain, and like the new V6 engine,just started production in the2016 ATS and CTS.“While these new systems in-

crease efficiency, a main focus inengineering at Cadillac is to inte-grate these systems smoothlywith no compromise to the driv-ing experience,” said Leone.“Our new 8-speed transmis-

sion was developed internallyfor fast and smooth shifting inevery situation with Cylinder De-activation and Start/Stop inte-grated in a more seamless man-ner than our competitors.”The result is cleaner and more

fuel-efficient Cadillac models,with CO2 output reduced up to 6percent on 2016 ATS and CTSmodels, Leone said.

BEIJING (AP) – Ford Motor Co.is investing $1.8 billion to devel-op technologies aimed at attract-ing Chinese car buyers, underlin-ing China’s importance to auto-makers despite slowing salesgrowth.The American automaker said

Oct. 12 that it will expand its re-search and development centerin the eastern city of Nanjing andwork on autonomous driving,smartphone connectivity, moreefficient powertrains and othertechnologies.Global automakers see China

as a key source of sales growthand are spending heavily to ap-peal to Chinese tastes. Somehave broken with a strategy ofselling the same models world-wide and are creating China-onlyvehicles.Automakers are stepping up

investment despite an unexpect-edly sharp downturn in salesthis year. In July, General MotorsCo. announced a $5 billion initia-tive with its main Chinese part-ner to develop vehicles to besold in China, Brazil, India andMexico.Auto sales in China declined in

August for a third straightmonth, contracting by 3.4 per-cent from a year earlier to 1.4million vehicles. Ford’s Augustsales declined by 3 percent to79,608, while year-to-date saleswere off 1 percent at just over700,000.Demand has been hurt by con-

gestion in Beijing, Shanghai andother major cities that has madecar ownership less attractiveand by official efforts to curbtraffic and smog by limiting thenumber of new vehicle registra-tions.Ford said features it hopes to

offer in China include introduc-tion next year of SYNC 3, a sys-tem that allows hands-free con-trol of phones, entertainment,climate control and navigation.Ford said it will add a vehicle

test center in Nanjing, expandingits ability to develop products inChina.The company has 10 manufac-

turing facilities in China. TheNanjing Research and Engineer-ing Center employs 1,900 peopleand is one of eight global prod-uct development centers.In April, Ford and a local part-

ner said they would spend $1.1billion on a factory in China’snortheast.

That’s a lot of cars. GM sold 7.2million vehicles globally in thefirst nine months of 2015.The company posted sales in-

creases in four of its five largestmarkets, with record sales in Chi-na and strong retail sales gains inthe United States, said GMspokesman Jim Cain. Total saleswere down 1 percent, due prima-rily to the company’s previouslyannounced decisions to strategi-cally reduce its presence in cer-tain markets, as well as difficultmarket conditions in SouthAmerica.“Our unwavering focus on the

customer is paying off in ourlargest and most important mar-kets as we execute one success-ful launch after another in theright segments,” said GM Presi-dent Dan Ammann. “At the sametime, we have reacted quickly tochallenging macroeconomic en-vironments in other markets andhave shown the discipline to exitsituations where we see no long-term path to acceptable returns.”Examples of GM’s recent suc-

cess, Cain said, include:• GM truck sales in North

America were up 16 percent inthe first nine months of 2015,driven by a 17 percent increasein Chevrolet truck deliveries inthe United States.• Chevrolet had record

crossover sales in North America

in the same period, up 17 percentyear over year.• In China, crossovers like the

Chevrolet Trax and Buick Envi-sion represented more than 17percent of sales by GM and itsjoint ventures in September, upfrom 6 percent a year ago.• Cadillac had record sales in

China with deliveries rising 12percent to nearly 57,000 units.GM is preparing to launch even

more new trucks and crossoversduring the next several months,including the all-new CadillacXT5, a redesigned Chevrolet Sil-verado and a diesel-poweredChevrolet Colorado for NorthAmerica, and the Baojun 560 inChina.Key car launches include the

all-new Chevrolet Malibu andCruze in North America and theOpel Astra in Europe.Additional highlights, Cain

said (vs. 2014), for the first ninemonths include:• In the United States, Chevro-

let has reported six consecutivemonths of retail sales and marketshare gains and has strategicallyreduced sales to rental compa-nies by more than 50,000 unitsthrough September.• Opel/Vauxhall increased its

European market share and grewsales in 19 countries, includingItaly, Spain, France, the U.K. andGermany.• Buick had record deliveries

in China, with sales up 4 percentto nearly 670,000 units.• Baojun had record sales,

with deliveries rising 236 percentto more than 270,000 units.• GMC’s global sales increased

11 percent, and four of thebrand’s SUVs and pickup trucks –the Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra andCanyon – have the highest aver-age transaction prices of any ve-hicles in their respective seg-ments in the United States, ac-cording to J.D. Power PIN esti-mates.Cain said that in the third quar-

ter of the year alone, among GM’slargest markets, sales rose in theUnited States, the U.K. and Cana-da. And Opel/Vauxhall, Buick,Cadillac, GMC and Baojun all re-ported higher sales.

Additonally, Chevrolet hadrecord crossover sales in theUnited States, up 24 percent,while Chevrolet U.S. truck salesincreased 16 percent. Deliveriesin South Korea were up 11 per-cent to a record of nearly 43,000units.

GM Sees Strong Sales in China and the U.S.

DETROIT (AP) – Electric carmaker Tesla Motors is leapfrog-ging competitors with a new au-topilot system that lets carschange lanes by themselves.Like other semi-autonomous

systems already available fromMercedes, Audi and Volvo, Tes-la’s system automatically keepsthe car within its lane and main-tains a certain distance from thecar in front, both at highwayspeeds and on city streets. It canfind a parking spot and parallelpark itself. It also uses camerasand sensors to warn driversabout potential side impacts.But analysts say the lane-

changing feature is an industryfirst. Tesla CEO Elon Musk saidthe system is also unique be-cause it will constantly collectdata from actual drivers and im-

prove itself. The system willnote, for example, how quicklydrivers can safely navigate a par-ticular bend in the road or wherestop signs are located.“I think this is going to be quite

a profound experience for peo-ple,” Musk said last week in aconference call with media. “Itwill change people's perceptionof the future quite drastically.”Drivers need to keep their

hands on the wheel, and the au-topilot system will chime to re-mind them if they don’t. Drivers– not Tesla – will be held liable ifthere’s a crash, Musk said.“We’re being especially cau-

tious at this early stage, so we’readvising drivers to keep theirhands on the wheel just in case,”he said. “The software is verynew.”

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) –Michigan State University plansto recruit 100 new faculty mem-bers as part of an effort to boostkey research areas.The plans announced Oct. 15

are part of the newly launchedGlobal Impact Initiative, whichseeks to strengthen work in plantscience; engineering; physicalscience; and science, technology,engineering and math education,also known as STEM.The initiative also seeks to ex-

pand research in genomics, cy-bersecurity, computational sci-ence and precision medicine.

The priority research areas weredeveloped from nearly 90 pro-posals submitted by MichiganState faculty members. Fundingwas approved by the school’sBoard of Trustees in 2014.“This bold investment by the

Board of Trustees will pay hugedividends by growing MSU’s ca-pacity for cutting-edge research,”said MSU president Lou Anna K.Simon. “Targeting emerging areasof scholarship will leverageMichigan State's considerablestrengths and enhance our repu-tation as a top-100 world re-search university.”

MSU Seeking STEM Faculty

TOKYO (AP) – Toyota, underambitious environmental targets,is aiming to sell hardly any regu-lar gasoline vehicles by 2050 –only hybrids and fuel cells, toradically reduce emissions.The automaker promised to in-

volve governments, affiliatedcompanies and other “stakehold-ers” in its push to reduce aver-age emissions from Toyota carsby 90 percent by about 2050,compared with 2010 levels.Electric cars weren’t part of

their vision, outlined by top Toy-ota Motor Corp. officials at aTokyo museum on Oct. 15, strik-ing a contrast with rivals such asNissan Motor Co., which hasbanked on that zero-emissionstechnology.Toyota’s commitments come

at a time when the auto industryhas been shaken by a scandal atGermany’s Volkswagen AG, inwhich it admitted it cheated ondiesel emissions tests coveringmillions of cars.Toyota projected its annual

sales of fuel cell vehicles willreach more than 30,000 by about2020, which is 10 times its pro-jected figure for 2017.Fuel cells run on hydrogen and

are zero-emissions. Toyota’sMirai fuel cell went on sale latelast year. Toyota has received1,500 orders for the Mirai inJapan, and it just went on sale inthe U.S. and Europe.Annual sales of hybrid vehicles

will reach 1.5 million and by 2020Toyota would have sold 15 mil-lion hybrids, nearly twice what ithas sold so far around the world,it said.Hybrids switch back and forth

between a gasoline engine andan electric motor to deliver an ef-ficient ride.The Toyota Prius, which went

on sale in 1997, is the top-sellinghybrid, with about 4 million soldglobally so far. Toyota is promis-ing to develop a hybrid versionin every category, including usu-ally gas-guzzling sport-utility ve-hicles, as well as luxury models.“You may think 35 years is a

long time,’’ Senior Managing Offi-cer Kiyotaka Ise told reporters.“But for an automaker to envi-sion all combustion engines asgone is pretty extraordinary.’’Ise acknowledged some gaso-

line engine cars would remain inless developed markets, but onlyin small numbers.

Toyota Looks to Green Tech for Future


General Motors dealers aregetting their feet wet in environ-mental science as a part of thecompany’s growing watershededucation program.Employees from Ingersoll Auto

of Danbury, the largest retailer ofChevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadil-lac vehicles in Connecticut, men-tored students from Reed Inter-mediate School in nearby New-town in early October as theyconducted water quality testingin local streams. The activity ispart of the GM Global Rivers En-vironmental Education Network(GREEN), the longest-runningconservation education programby any automaker.Through GM GREEN, GM em-

ployees partner with local schoolsand conservation groups to men-tor students through water-mon-itoring events, classroom visitsand student-driven watershed im-provement projects. Students re-trieve, test and analyze watersamples, then channel findingsinto a sustainable action plan ad-dressing local water quality is-sues. Ingersoll is the first GM deal-er to serve as a GM GREEN men-tor.“Our dealers’ customer rela-

tionships extend far beyond theshowroom,” said Dan Adam-check, Northeast regional direc-tor of Chevrolet sales and mar-keting. “Our Green Dealer Pro-gram recognizes their efforts toimprove the local environmentand engage the community.”GM introduced the Green Deal-

er Program in January to its deal-erships across the U.S. that haveproven environmental trackrecords in energy efficiency, re-cycling, renewable energy useand community outreach, amongother areas.

According to NADA Used CarGuide, the pace of used vehicledepreciation accelerated consid-erably in September, as whole-sale prices of vehicles up toeight years old fell by 3.4 percentcompared with August.The month’s decline was near-

ly 1.5 percentage points morethan August’s 2 percent dropand moderately worse than NA-DA Used Car Guide’s 3 percenthigh-end forecast.Starting first with cars, prices

for the subcompact car segmentfell by a whopping 5.7 percentlast month, which is among thebiggest month-over-month dropsever recorded for the group.Subcompact car prices are nowdown 16 percent year-to-date –well above the market average of11.3 percent – and second onlyto the luxury large car decline of17 percent.Utility and truck losses were

generally in line with seasonalnorms; however, they were alsoamong the largest experiencedin some time. For example, whileother months have come close,the large pickup decline of 2.7percent was the biggest monthlyloss suffered since late 2009.Volkswagen’s admission to in-

stalling “defeat devices” soft-ware on nearly 500,000 diesel-equipped vehicles sold in theU.S. to circumvent governmentemissions regulations presents aseries of negative implicationsfor the automaker. High up onthe list is the damage inflictedupon VW’s used vehicle prices,both for affected diesel enginemodels and gas-powered modelsexcluded from the scandal.GM’s average incentives per

unit increased by 9.4 percentoverall, but in actuality it onlyspent more per unit on itsChevrolet brand year-over-year.
