We know Santa needs his magic sleigh and flying reindeer to travel all over the world in one night. But if he had to do the job on four wheels, what would be his best bet? We’ve taken a look at some of the cars, SUVs, and trucks we have in stock and come up with the ones we think the big jolly guy would like the best for his big night! more If Santa had to deliver all the gifts by car, he’d definitely need to worry about fuel economy. Can you imagine the gas bill?! We’d recommend a plug-in, but he wouldn’t have time to recharge during the action-packed evening. So we’re going with the new 2014 Buick LaCrosse, which can get up to 36 highway mpg and comes with auxiliary audio input so Santa could blast his favorite Christmas music the whole night through. What if Santa’s main concern were comfort? It’s going to be an awfully long night on the road –  all the roads –  after all. For that, we’d probably have to recommend that Santa consider the 2014 Cadillac SRX Luxury Collection. With its heated and ventilated front seats, he and Mrs. Claus would feel supremely comfortable throughout the evening, and a Blu-ray® compatible rear-seat DVD entertainment system would keep those restless elves happy and entertained for the whole trip. But we know what Santa would really be after –  cargo and towing! How can he bring gifts to all the boys and girls of the world without superior capacity?! Luckily, we’ve got just the thing: the 2014 GMC Sierra! If he goes for the 6.2L V8 engine with the max trailering package, Santa will be looking at up to 12,000 lbs of toys hitched to his truck. That should at least minimize his time between refills! So if the laws of physics ever stop bending so generously for Santa Claus, he’s welcome to shop at Palmen anytime. And for the rest of us mere mortals, we’ve got lots of new and used cars, trucks, and SUVs here at Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac!
