MIAMI, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Invites customers to compare new Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles to the competition, including 25 competitive makes
Featuring the Chevrolet Volt and Cruze, GMC Terrain, and Buick Regal
Relaxed atmosphere, no sales pressure

What if you could shop for a new car, even drive it against its competitors, all in one day in a relaxed environment with no pressure to buy?

That's just what Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC will offer Friday, January 28 through Sunday, January 30 as they host Main Street in Motion at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida.

For three days in January, customers in South Florida will be able to test drive more than 70 vehicles, comparing the latest Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC models against those from Acura, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Lexus, Toyota and others.

Both invited and walk-up consumers can drive and compare a range of vehicles, including electric and hybrid vehicles, performance cars, crossovers, and full-size pickups. The venue will also feature refreshments and entertainment for the customers, their families and friends.

"We know from experience that when people drive our new products head-to-head with the competition, opinion and consideration significantly improve and we sell more vehicles," said Steve Tihanyi, General Director, Marketing Alliances, Services and Branded Entertainment. "With the product lineup we have today – including the Chevy Cruze, Chevy Volt electric car with extended range capability, Buick Regal, and GMC Terrain – we're committed to reaching out to new customers and showing them just how competitive we are."

Chevrolet Volts in the program will allow many customers to experience electric driving for the first time. The new Chevrolet Camaro Convertible, which goes on sale in the spring, will be on display.

Walk-ups to Main Street in Motion are welcome, but customers are encouraged to register in advance at mainstreetinmotion.com. All that's required for those who wish to drive is to be 18-years-old and have a valid driver's license.
