have now purchased three GMC Sierra extended cab pickups from Beck & Mastin. Jason the sales rep we worked with listened to our requirements and presented us with a vehicle that met our needs. The aftermarket rep interview was painless and informative. The financial segment of our visit was also a good experience. Mark has a sense of humor and was a pleasure to deal with which is a good thing when dealing with financial people. When we picked up the truck Jason came in on his day off and walked us through the accessories of the truck and confirmed that the staff at the dealership are professional and customer centric."

Buick Grand National, GNX to Return on Cadillac ATS Platform
After filling its lineup with small, proper, four-cylinder cars over the last couple of years, General Motors may finally be getting back to its gnarly roots.First came the 2014 Corvette Stingray, a lean, muscled-up 450-horsepower ‘Vette in a European suit.Next was the Chevrolet SS, an old-school, rear-wheel-drive full-size sedan with a 415-horsepower Corvette-derived V-8 under the hood.Now comes a report from Inside Line that Buick is considering resurrecting its high-performance past with new versions of the Grand National, GNX and the T-Type.And unlike some previous GM attempts to go back to the future, these cars won’t be weak-kneed frauds hiding behind iconic badges.All would be based on architecture borrowed from the new rear-wheel-drive Cadillac ATS, Inside Line says, which is a pretty darn good place to start.The T-Type and Grand National would likely share powertrains – probably a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V-6 good for 350 to 400 horsepower, Inside Line says.Even better, the GNX might get a version of the all-new LT1 small-block V-8, which supposedly will fit into the ATS’ engine bay, according to Inside Line.Cadillac is believed to already be at work developing a high-performance V version of the ATS that may be equipped with a V-8, so the hot-rod Buick might not be much of a stretch.And how much energy would a new GNX bring to a Buick showroom full of LaCrosses, Regals and Enclaves?(courtesy of the Dallas Morning News)
