@jeffpulver Test Drives the GMC Terrain During Planning Sessions for #140Conf Detroit

What is Jeff Pulver doing reviewing cars?

GM was kind enough to lend us a GMC Terrain while we're here for 2 days in Detroit as we're meeting with members of the Social Media, Advertising and PR communities who are helping to create the #140Conf Detroit, which will be held on October.

Thank you GM, and thank you Chris Barger for making this happen.  GM's Buick Division is the lead sponsor for 140Conf Detroit.  If you want to see what Buick is up to, here's a previous post I did from an event that Buick held in San Antonio, previewing some of their new cars with Michelle Bunker - another member of the awesome GM / Buick PR team.   (Memo to BMW / Mercedes / Audi / Acura:  watch out).

Oh- my two cents.... we're sharing the driving and I have to say that I am impressed. The first thing you feel when you get into this car are the seats. They feel tight and fit well. The interior is spacious, and a sporty feel that's almost like a Cadillac CTX sedan.

As you can see in this drive, this thing has pep. On the freeways around Detroit, this car smokes with power.

How #Buick is Using the Social Web to Connect and Engage. Be sure to follow Buick as a Sponsor of #140ConfDetroit October 20, 2010

The Buick brand is on the road and made it's way to San Antonio last night. I had the chance to connect with GM / Buick PR Representative Extraordinaire, Michelle Bunker,  (twitter link) who's also part of the team helping to bring the #140Conf to Detroit on October 20.

If you're considering a new car in the near future, check out the specs on the Buick Regal Show Car.  Here's a link to the brand's Facebook page.  I'm now a fan.  How about you?

And, if you would like to submit your proposal as a speaker, just log on here.  Jeff Pulver is hoping for people from across America to travel to Detroit and have a first hand opportunity to meet some of the individuals responsible for the rebirth of this great American city.

I'll be supporting Jeff on PR support.  Having taken part in the #140Conf NY / LA / London and most recently the one in NY in April, I am thrilled to discover and meet new people like Michelle as well as those at GM, Detroit and from the greater #140Conf Community who will take part in this amazing event.

I can't wait to test drive a Buick Regal this fall!
