Baker Motor Company was a proud Hole-In-One Sponsor of The Kiawah Island Club 2015 Men’s Invitational and displayed a Maserati at the 17th hole of the River Course as the grand prize. Little did we know that for the first time in 10 years, someone would win!

You can expect BIG things from Mercedes-Benz in the future!
In a flowing transition, Mercedes-Benz lands the next coup: the Concept GLC Coupé is a near-production-standard study that carries the successful GLE Coupé formula over into a more compact segment. The dynamically expressive show car combines typical stylistic features of a coupé with the sensually pure design idiom of coming SUV generations. This emotively appealing fusion is further enriched with details that are strong in character. A twin-blade radiator grille, powerdomes on the hood and a four-pipe exhaust system form an aesthetic contrast to the harmonious, almost organic main body section. On the other hand, elements from the rugged off-road world, such as enormous 21-inch tires, front and rear underbody protection, increased ground clearance and side running boards, are indicative of the off-road performance potential of the Concept GLC Coupé.
Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Daimler AG, puts it in a nutshell: “With its modern and sensual design idiom, the Concept GLC Coupé gives a foretaste of future SUV models from Mercedes-Benz. At the same time, it embraces the typical values of tradition-steeped Mercedes-Benz coupés”.

Connect Your Porsche to Your Apple Watch
The release of the Apple Watch is a leap forward in terms of wearable technology for Apple users.
Porsche owners with an Apple Watch are in luck. The automaker has already created an Apple watch-specific app called Porsche Car Connect app.
Porsche is one of the first in the car industry to create an app specific for the Apple watch. With the app, Porsche owners can check a variety of vehicle attributes including: trip information, fuel efficiency, Porsche vehicle locator, security alarm alerts, check battery range and odometer Readings.
The app also allows drivers to do the following; start the engine remotely, honk the horn, flash the lights and control temperature- pretty cool.
Porsche’s continued reputation for staying ahead of the curve will most likely mean updates to the app to make it even more powerful in the future.

GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Terrain Ranked Highest – Baker Buick GMC Cadillac – Charleston, SC
The GMC Sierra 1500 full-size light-duty pickup, Yukon full-size SUV and Terrain compact SUV ranked highest in their respective segments in the 2015 J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study. The GMC brand gained six spots, moving up to No. 10 overall (in a tie).
The 2015 study tracks 2012 model year vehicles in the third year of ownership.
Both the Sierra 1500 and Yukon also achieved the highest score in their segments in the 2014 J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study.
“The momentum continues at GMC with this recognition,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC Sales and Marketing. “We expect all of our vehicles to perform at the highest level every time a customer gets behind the wheel and this achievement validates our commitment to dependability and reliability.”
GMC has manufactured trucks since 1902, with innovation and engineering excellence built into all GMC vehicles. The brand is evolving to offer more fuel-efficient trucks and crossovers, including the Terrain small SUV and Acadia crossover. GMC’s highest-volume vehicle, the Sierra pickup, is the most powerful light-duty pickup on the market, and the first full-size pickup to receive the highest-possible five-star Overall Vehicle Score for safety since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration changed its New Car Assessment Program for the 2011 model year.

2015 Infiniti Q50 sport sedan and Q70 luxury performance sedan models equipped with Forward Emergency Braking (with the exception of the Q70 V8 AWD) have earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) highest safety award, TOP SAFETY PICK. The QX60 luxury SUV also took home some accolades, receiving an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK rating.
IIHS safety awards are based on a vehicle’s ability to protect its occupants and prevent or mitigate crashes. To earn a TOP SAFETY PICK, vehicles must receive a ‘good’ rating in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraint performance tests, as well as a ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’ rating in the small overlap front test. To receive the highest rating of TOP SAFETY PICK+, vehicles must meet the same standards as for the TOP SAFETY PICK, as well as earn an ‘advanced’ or ‘superior’ rating for front crash prevention.
Q50 and Q70 models were awarded IIHS’ highest accolade for their performance on the IIHS crashworthiness evaluations, and the advanced front crash safety features available on both vehicles, particularly Infiniti’s Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) system.
FEB helps alert drivers to potential collisions with the vehicle in front of them by providing visual and audible warnings, and applying partial braking. If the driver doesn’t respond to the initial alerts, a more urgent warning is provided and an increased level of braking is applied to help avoid or mitigate a crash. The Q50 and Q70 can also be equipped with the world-first Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW) system, which helps warn drivers of certain risks that may lie beyond their field of vision. PFCW senses not only the relative velocity and distance of a vehicle directly ahead, but also of the vehicle travelling in front of that one, providing audible and visual warnings when it detects traffic slowing ahead.
