How do you stay cool inside the cabin of a GMC Terrain? By using science! Made possible by one individual.

Engineers call him The Iceman (aka Jeff Bozeman).

It's the special time of year again! No, we aren't talking about sugar cookies, lit-up trees and a certain jolly guy in a red suit. But, if you've been good this year, maybe you'll find a new GMC parked in your driveway on Christmas morning. Why? Well, because it's time for the annual GMC Holiday Event!

With all the extra tech gadgets, exterior add-ons, and vehicle enhancements, sometimes it's good to have a bare bones, no frills truck.

We here at Tom Ahl Family of Dealerships are pretty big fans of the 2012 Hyundai Genesis. It's a sleek take on the large premium car segment, which many automakers seem to be turning their backs on lately. However, while Hyundai is certainly diversifying its lineup by featuring more 40 mpg models, such as the 2012 Hyundai Veloster, it remains clear that they're not about ready to give up on the Genesis either.

Case in point: the 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec. This new variant features the largest engine that has ever been equipped in the Genesis…
