Zimbrick Buick West Previews The All-New 2012 Buick Verano – Part One

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

2012 Buick Verano WisconsinZimbrick Buick West, a Madison Buick dealer Wisconsin has turned to for their vehicle needs since 1965, announces Buick’s plans to launch the 2012 Buick Verano.

The all-new 2012 Buick Verano compact luxury sedan is the brand’s third new model in the past two years and first in the compact luxury segment.

Verano goes on sale at Zimbrick Buick West in the fourth quarter of 2011, the latest model in a product renaissance that began with the Enclave and continued with the LaCrosse and Regal. Like them, Verano is distinguished by luxury and technology, including 10 standard air bags, an available heated steering wheel and a next-generation radio system with OnStar-powered connectivity that enables seamless communication between the Verano and the driver’s smart phone.

An Ecotec 2.4L and six-speed automatic powertrain combination is standard and delivers an estimated 177 horsepower (132 kW) and 170 lb.-ft. torque (230 Nm), 0-60 mph performance of 8.0 seconds and an estimated 31 mpg on the highway. A 2.0L turbo engine will be offered in the future.

In part one of the Buick Verano preview, Zimbrick Buick West points out the sculpted design and the luxurious interior that Buick is known and loved for.

2012 Buick Verano MadisonSculpted Design

Verano carries the modern Buick design cues introduced on the Enclave and interpreted for the LaCrosse and Regal. They include a bold, detailed black chrome waterfall grille, prominent blue translucent projector beam headlamps, portholes, chrome accents, premium wheels and a tailored body-to-wheel relationship. An arching roofline connects a steeply raked windshield and fast-sloping rear pillars to give the car a sporty profile that’s complemented by large, 17-inch standard multi-spoke forged alloy sterling silver-finish wheels. Two premium 18-inch wheel designs are available.

“Verano translates Buick’s sculptural design language in a new size, with all the refinement and attention to detail pioneered by the Enclave and LaCrosse,” said Dave Lyon, design director. “Beyond all that, it’s simply a great-looking car. It has great proportions and sophisticated details that will look great for years to come.”

Unique to Verano are translucent blue projector-beam headlamps, which give the car a distinctive, upscale appearance. A palette of rich colors enhances the premium look, including Claret Red Tintcoat and White Diamond Tricoat. Other exterior color choices include Black, Olympic White, Switchblade Silver Metallic, Cyber Gray Metallic and Mocha Bronze Metallic.

Buick Verano WisconsinLuxurious Interior

Complementing Verano’s precisely crafted, premium-accented exterior is an interior marked by exceptional seat comfort and support, as well as premium soft-touch materials, including ambient lighting inspired by the LaCrosse. Metallic and wood trims and warm ambient lighting make the cabin an inviting environment.

Neutral and medium titanium colors are offered on interiors with leatherette/fabric seating surfaces, while ebony, cashmere and a unique Choccachino color are offered on the available leather-trimmed interiors. Verano uses the same premium leather material for the seats that is used on the LaCrosse.

The instrument panel blends with an integrated center stack that houses the infotainment display, climate controls and radio controls. Flush-mounted components within the center stack have a gap tolerance of less than 1 mm, while the instrument panel-to-door panel gaps are less than 5 mm. Those tolerances are among the best in class.

Verano’s headliner cover is made of a knit material that is one of five layers of an acoustically designed headliner to help quiet the passenger compartment. The interior pillar and other moldings are color- and grain-matched to the headliner.

Part two of Zimbrick’s Verano preview coming soon!

Zimbrick Joins United Way’s Business Volunteer Network

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

United Way of Dane County - Business Volunteer NetworkThe Zimbrick Volunteer Network, a volunteer group consisting of Zimbrick employees and their friends and families, has joined the United Way of Dane County’s Business Volunteer Network.

The Business Volunteer Network (BVN) is Dane County’s resource for developing and coordinating workplace volunteer efforts and provides programs that can help build employee skills and attitudes that foster organizational commitment, company loyalty, and personal fulfillment.

BVN helps to build these skills and attitudes by partnering companies and their employees with community volunteer opportunities. The BVN is a natural fit with United Way of Dane County’s Volunteer Center, which provides critical administrative resources, guidance and support to BVN, in addition to access to hundreds of other non-profit agencies in Dane County. Through BVN, non-profit agencies and volunteers are strong partners in achieving measurable results, one goal of our community’s Agenda for Change.

Zimbrick is back in the BVN after a multi-year hiatus, and Kathy Martinson, the director of the United Way Volunteer Center, is more than happy to have them back.

“United Way is thrilled to have Zimbrick as a member of our Business Volunteer Network,” Kathy Martinson said.  “As one of our founding members in 1999, two Zimbrick employees played key roles in developing this very viable and robust organization, which now has 33 members.”

The Zimbrick Volunteer Network (ZVN) is a growing group of employees at Zimbrick Fish Hatchery Road who is taking one of Zimbrick’s Core Values – Strong Relationships with our Business Partners and Communities – and elevate it to the next level. 
 
With the assistance of the United Way and the Business Volunteer Network, the ZVN is putting together a schedule of volunteer activities for the year of 2011.

“The Zimbrick family of dealerships are an important part of our community and will be an important part of helping BVN achieve our goals and fulfill our mission to be ‘a catalyst for businesses to build and promote successful workplace volunteer programs.’,”  Martinson said.
