On September 17th, 2009 Hyundai unveiled its newly designed 2011 Sonata. Hyundai says the new design will be key to its goal in reestablishing its image. Hyundai, currently a top automotive manufacturer from South Korea, is looking to continue to climb the overall image ladder until it becomes number 1 in the world.
A recent study by BusinessWeek and Interbrand scored Hyundai as the 8th best global brand, scoring higher than Porsche, Ferrari, and Lexus. Hyundai Motor Corporation believes that the redesigned 2011 Sonata will help gain more momentum in reestablishing their image. The new Sonata sports a longish nose, panoramic sunroof, and a coupe-style design. Hyundai’s Vice Chairman Chung Eui Sun said “The Sonata will set a new standard for world class mid-size sedans with state of the art technology, superior quality, and emotional design.”
Local Maryland and Delaware dealer Preston Hyundai, is more than ready for the 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Preston has already seen the success of the current Hyundai Sonata and is thrilled about the upcoming Sonata which will hit stores in late 2010. “Already one of our top sellers, the Hyundai Sonata is a great car with great quality. I can only imagine how well the new 2011 Sonata will sell once we get it in our showrooms. Over the past several years Hyundai has really transformed their company into a global competitor.” says Preston Hyundai’s General Manager John Skalstad.
Hyundai plans to sell 450,000 Sonatas per year globally when it enters full production on the model year 2011 Sonata. Preston Hyundai has already guaranteed that they will have one of the largest selections on the ever growing popular Sonata model in Maryland and Delaware. Currently Preston Hyundai already has one of the largest selections of Sonata and other Hyundai models in the Delmarva area.

Delaware Mazda Dealer Pleased with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick
The all new 2010 Mazda3 has been awarded the very prestigious “Top Safety Pick” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). To qualify for “Top Safety Pick”, a vehicle must earn the highest rating of good in the Institute's front, side, and rear tests and be equipped with Electronic Stability Control. Criteria to win are tough because the award is intended to drive continued safety improvements such as top crash test ratings and the rapid addition of electronic stability control, which is standard on most trim levels of the MAZDA3.
Preston Mazda was thrilled to receive this news from corporate Mazda. Already a top seller in the Preston Automotive Group, Preston Mazda’s Sales Manager Harry Willey is even more excited to offer this vehicle to consumers. “This is great news; safety ratings continue to be a top purchase consideration for our customers and with the Mazda3 already a top seller due to the Cash for Clunker phenomena, we are ready to continue to offer this amazing product,” Willey expresses.
Preston Mazda part of the Preston Autoplex in Preston, MD has over 30 Mazda3s in stock and has the ability to get any Mazda3 that a customer may want.

“Mazda is known for cars that are fun the drive because they have superb steering, brakes, and overall handling,” said Kim O’Sullivan, president and CEO of Mazda North America Operations. “This active safety helps avoid the accident in the first place and makes the Mazda3 a perfect example of safety meets zoom-zoom.”

Maryland and Delaware Car Dealer Taking in Trades Regardless if Consumers Buy From Dealership
The Car Allowance Rebate System is now officially over. The hugely successful program created massive results in the automotive industry. The first result of course was the huge jump in new automobile sales across the nation. Dealers felt like they were back in the “good ole” days of selling cars. The second result the CARS program brought was mixed feeling on dealer’s pre-owned inventory. Some dealers did not see much of a change in the sales of pre-owned vehicles, as people who did not qualify for the CARS program could easily buy a pre-owned vehicle. However most dealers saw pre-owned sales drop and even worse, a huge drop in trade-in vehicles (since all trade-ins from the CARS program were to be crushed).
One dealer, Preston Automotive Group, has seen both good and bad outcomes from the CARS program (mostly good). Preston Automotive who collectively did 330 CARS deals in the Maryland and Delaware areas saw a rather large increase for the dealer group. Sales went up, but trade-in vehicles were low. Sure most of the trade-ins were “clunkers” and were not lot worthy but some of the older vehicles could were lot worthy. And because most deals were CARS deals pre-owned inventory did not grow as fast as it did previously.
The Preston dealership network serving Maryland, Delaware and Virginia has taken full advantage of the program, dedicating countless hours and even an entire building reserved as their CARS information center. After all the work that the employees at Preston had put in, even after the program is over more work is still ahead. However this time the priority is pre-owned inventory.
Many dealers are doing the same thing, even the dealers who are not franchise owners are scrambling to gain more pre-owned inventory. “Sure we can gain more pre-owned vehicles from auto auctions like Manheim, but the reality is that auto auctions are not enough. We must get quality trade-ins straight from the customers themselves to keep inventory levels up,” states Russ Nickerson who oversees all pre-owned inventory for Preston Autoplex.
Preston Autoplex, part of the Preston Automotive Group, has started a new promotion to help gain more inventory. The promotion is simple, Preston wants your vehicle. Preston Automotive is willing to pay top dollar (which means paying good or even excellent condition on Kelly Blue Book standards for fair and poor condition vehicles) for a vehicle even if that customer does not purchase a new vehicle from the dealership itself. “Why waste time trying to sell the vehicle yourself, when you can bring it here and let us sell it for you,” states Chris Marks, the General Manager of Preston Autoplex.
With many programs coming out by dealers designed to increase pre-owned sales and inventory, the wave that comes after the CARS program will be pre-owned vehicles.
