"The We Care Program allows us to direct our giving funds to those organizations that our customers tell us are important to them," said Ron Lichtsinn, owner of Lichtsinn Motors. “We have a strong customer base in Lake Mills and we’re excited to support their excellent school system with this donation.”

The six We Care organizations for 2011 are: The American Cancer Society, HOSPICE of North Iowa, the Forest City Community School District, the Lake Mills Community School District, the YMCA of Forest City and Krysilis. In addition, each customer has the opportunity to nominate other organizations for consideration for the following year's list.

Customers purchasing a new or pre-owned car, van, SUV or truck retailing over $5,000 are able to select the organization which they would like their $50 donation to go to. This is an ongoing dealership program and donations will be made to the organizations annually through this program.

Buick is positioning the 2011 Regal against the likes of the Acura TSX and Lexus IS 250.

2011 Buick LaCrosse near Mason City, Iowa

Visit Lichtsinn Motors in Forest City, Iowa, to see the all-new 2011 Buick LaCrosse and all our other new Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac and Buick vehicles.

2011 Buick LaCrosse

The 2011 Buick LaCrosse will see many of its features carry on unchanged, but will receive one major change: the 3.0-liter V6 engine will be dropped in favor of a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The 3.6-liter V6 engine will remain. This vehicle is designed to seat up to five passengers, and will be offered in three trim levels: CX, CXL, and CXS. The CX and CXL models are likely to continue to be offered in front or all-wheel drive, and although many options will remain the same, there may be some small changes to features and trim levels.

The Buick LaCrosse had its exterior redesigned for the 2010 model year, and the 2011 Buick LaCrosse does not have many changes. Its exterior is edgier and sportier than in previous generations. The base model should have basic exterior features like halogen headlights and daytime running lights. Upgraded trims and options are included: heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals, foglamps, rear parking sensors, adaptive xenon headlights, and adjustable shock absorbers.

Visit Lichtsinn Motors in Forest City, Iowa, to see the all-new 2011 Chevrolet Malibu and all our other new Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac and Buick vehicles.

2011 Chevrolet Malibu

Malibu's world-class design and superb level of craftsmanship have earned the respect of people who know cars. You'll be impressed by the nearly microscopic gaps - many as tight as 1mm — in the interior fit and finish. Acoustic laminated glass — the same concept used in expensive luxury cars — helps create a barrier to reduce unwanted noise. Precise, responsive steering and a four-wheel independent suspension deliver a smooth, controlled ride.

Further proof of the exceptional quality of Malibu : The 2010 Malibu engine and transmission systems are reporting no issues in 99.9% of the vehicles checked by OnStar® Vehicle Diagnostics.

With 33 MPG highway, Malibu LTZ offers highway fuel economy that a comparable Toyota Camry can't match. That means up to 528 highway miles on a single fill-up. A six-speed automatic transmission, standard on all models, helps maximize performance and fuel efficiency. Malibu engines feature Variable Valve Timing (VVT) — a technology that optimizes combustion, enhances low-end torque and helps lower tailpipe emissions. A 252-hp 3.6L V6 engine with dual overhead camshafts and Variable Valve Timing is available on 2LT and LTZ. Fuel economy for this engine is 26 highway, 17 city.

2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in North Iowa

Visit Lichtsinn Motors in Forest City, Iowa, to see the all-new 2011 Chevrolet Silverados.

Sure, Silverado can help construct roads and bridges. Front porches and back decks. Things that matter. Things that last. But the most important thing Chevy has built over the last 90 years is a bond with truck owners. A commitment to giving them what they need so they can do what needs to get done. It's no wonder Cars.com named it a 2010 "Best Bet." Silverado. The most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road.

Every proven Vortec V8 engine available on Silverado is capable of generating over 300 horsepower and 300 lb.-ft. of torque. Or step up to the available Vortec 6.2L V8 that generates 403 horses and 417 lb.-ft. of torque, making Silverado the most powerful half-ton crew cab.

Not surprisingly, all that power is complemented by a lot of payload capability - 1,980 lbs. for Crew Cab and 1,925 lbs. for Extended Cab models with the available MAX Trailering Pack.

Whether you live in Mason City, Clear Lake, Garner, Lake Mills, Albert Lea, or any other town in North Iowa or Southern Minnesota, Lichtsinn Motors in Forest City is the place to find your next 2011 Chevy Silverado!
