GM Facilities Appear in Transformers 4: Age of Extinction

COCOA, Flor. – While Chevy's Corvette, Camaro and Trax steal the spotlight in the new Transformers 4: Age of Extinction movie, you will also notice some General Motors facilities if you pay attention to the background of certain scenes.

GM's Design Center at the Warren Technical Center, Milford Proving Grounds, and Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn's office all make appearances in the movie. Director Michael Bay utilized the GM Design Center as the movie's headquarters for the United States Central Intelligence Agency, shooting scenes in the lobby, staircase, design dome, design executive garage, and VR room. The office of one of the CIA executives was even staged in Welburn's impressive office. In fact, Welburn himself played the executive, though all of his classic auto memorabilia had to be removed from his office and replaced with CIA props for the scene.

Other GM facilities that appear in Transformers 4: Age of Extinction include the Wind Tunnel Facility at the Warren Technical Center and roads at GM's Milford Proving Grounds which were used to shoot many of the highway scenes rather than clogging up actual roads. The movie's film crew even had to pay special attention to make sure they didn't interrupt the work of the engineers and designers too much while they were filming.

So when you go to the movie theater this Friday, keep your eyes peeled for these General Motors facilities in scenes from Transformers 4: Age of Extinction!

New GM "GearOn" Trademark

COCOA, Flor. – In a market that is more competitive than it's ever been, today's trucks are more capable, powerful, and appealing than ever before. And, manufacturers continue to work to offer even better improvements to outshine the competition, which is exactly what GM is doing with a new United States Patent and Trademark Office filing.

In a recent USPTO filing, General Motors is trademarking the name "GearOn" to be used for what looks like a set of new truck features. The "GearOn" trademark filing described the feature as a “truck bed cargo system comprised of tiered storage cross rails, utility rack stanchions, cargo dividers and cargo tie down rings.” As always, GM is working to provide customers with a product that exceeds their expectations and the new "GearOn" trademark filing is just another example of that!

OnStar 4G LTE Pricing for GM Vehicles

COCOA, Flor. – Have you heard? Soon you will be able to turn your car into a Wi-Fi hotspot with the ability to connect up to seven different devices! Seamless data streaming anytime the car is on must cost a fortune, right? Think again! OnStar 4G LTE pricing for GM vehicles was just announced and for as little as $5 per month you'll be able to access the internet from your car!

The 2015 Chevrolet Malibu will be the first vehicle to feature the new technology, followed by more than 30 other General Motors vehicles before the end of the year! For these vehicles equipped with the in-car high-speed data connection, customers will first be able to enjoy a trial period of three months or three gigabytes, whichever one comes first, before they have to select a plan if they want to continue to use the technology. Current OnStar subscribers can pay just $5 more per month to enjoy 200 megabytes of data. Or, if you are already an AT& T customer, you have the option to add your vehicle to an existing Mobile Share Plan for $10 per month. Whatever your situation may be, the OnStar 4G LTE pricing for GM vehicles is as follows:

So, for those customers who already subscribe to OnStar Safe & Sound or Directions & Connections, the base $5/200 MB plan will provide enough data to stream more than 6.5 hours of music, surf the internet for 13 hours, or send more than 10,000 emails without attachments! Plus, the data connection also improves your access to OnStar's current safety and security services. How's that for value?

Don't want to commit to a monthly plan? No problem. OnStar has also released pricing for one-time purchase packages – whether you only need a high-speed data connection for one day or want to have the option to use a set amount of data throughout the year rather than monthly.

Ready to use your vehicle as a Wi-Fi hotspot that delivers a stronger connection than that of a smartphone? Grab your favorite devices and get ready to stay connected without fear of draining your battery! OnStar's 4G LTE technology allows you to pair up to seven devices including laptops, smartphones, tablets, video game consoles, etc. to the industry's broadest deployment of 4G LTE connectivity.

As the technology is deployed on more than 30 vehicles throughout the year, you will definitely be able to find a vehicle that meets your needs and keeps you connected better than any other brand. And we can help you figure out which vehicle that is. Bob Steele Chevrolet is committed to providing our customers with a comfortable, family experience – we call it the Family Difference! We treat our customers and employees like family, and work to make everyone comfortable at our dealership located at 2800 W.
