New York Buick dealer, West Herr Buick, is excited to announce an impressive increase in sales led by the Buick Regal and Buick LaCrosse.

Buick posted a 137-percent total sales increase in July compared to the same month last year. This includes a 104-percent increase in retail sales, driven by customer demand for the LaCrosse and the all-new Regal.

Following the introductions of the LaCrosse last summer and Regal this summer, Buick retail sales have climbed 41 percent for 2010 calendar year to date, with July the best retail sales month of the year.

“The LaCrosse and Regal continue to contribute heavily to our sales momentum,” said Brian Sweeney, U.S. vice president of Buick & GMC Sales and Service, “Both represent the modern, world-class cars coming from Buick.  The Enclave crossover, introduced in 2007, also continues to add to our division’s strong retail sales gains.”

LaCrosse total sales increased four-fold in July, and retail sales almost tripled, compared to July 2009. Calendar year to date, LaCrosse total sales are up 228 percent compared to 2009.

The redesigned LaCrosse has garnered several awards since its introduction last summer, including  being named MotorWeek’s Drivers’ Choice Award for “Best Luxury Sedan,” and a 2010 Top Safety Pick by the Institute for Highway Safety. To help meet keep consumer demand for LaCrosse, a third shift was added to the Fairfax Assembly facility in Kansas City, Kan.

The all-new 2011 Regal arrived at our Buffalo Buick dealership in late May.  Your response to the Regals arrival has been overwhelmingly encouraging, and we expect the Regal to be one of the brand’s highest-volume sellers this year!

Buffalo Buick dealer, West Herr Buick, has just heard that GM is doing everything it can for emissions.

General Motors has announced that it will convert the air conditioning systems in its entire fleet of Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GM models from using high-GWP (global warming potential) refrigerants to a new refrigerant with a much lower climate impact.  The HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerant currently used in virtually every American model car and truck, HFC-134a has a global warming potential (GWP) of 1400 compared to the new refrigerant’s (HFC-1234yf) GWP of 4.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from mobile air conditioning account for approximately 40% of all annual US HFC emissions.  Introduced as replacements for ozone depleting substances, HFCs do not damage the ozone layer but are potent global warming agents and considered ‘super’ greenhouse gases.

Widely used as refrigerants, aerosol propellants and in foam blowing applications, scientific studies have indicated that soaring worldwide demand for HFCs could sabotage efforts to combat climate change.  This threat and the opportunity to replace HFCs with low impact alternative refrigerants has prompted efforts by environmentalists and the Obama Administration to eliminate HFCs’ and their growing contribution to global warming.

“GM’s decision to eliminate HFCs heralds the beginning of the end for an entire class of greenhouse gases,” said Alexander von Bismarck, Executive Director of the Environmental Investigation Agency.  ”We should expect other automakers and manufacturing sectors to follow GM’s lead, and for the transition to alternative and natural refrigerants to accelerate dramatically.”

GM’s announcement is also expected to have profound impacts in developing countries that represent the largest area of growth for HFC production and use.  The recent effort by Canada, Mexico and the US to secure an international agreement to phase out HFCs under the Montreal Protocol should also benefit as it becomes apparent that the world’s largest consumer and import markets are moving away from HFCs.

“Consumers and producers alike need to recognize that HFCs are no longer part of the solution but part of the problem and one that we can solve,” added Mr. Bismarck
