Arbogast Name Top Buick GMC Dealer in May

Published Monday, 07 June, 2010 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Arbogast Dealership News.

Dave Arbogast Buick GMC was again named among the top performing Buick GMC dealers in the country. In May Arbogast was the top Buick GMC dealer in Ohio and was ranked 58th overall in the country. Arbogast has been one of GM's top volume dealers for the past 15 years.

"Achieving a Top 100 ranking in new Buick GMC sales is the result of hard work and a focus on providing an exceptional sales, service, and ownership experience for our customers," comments Dave Arbogast. Arbogast also attributes improved sales to the popularity of the all new 2010 GMC Terrain and the 2010 Buick Lacrosse.

"We look forward to a strong summer season and invite everyone to come test drive the 2011 Buick Regal. The introduction of the Regal adds a dymanic car to a already stellar Buick line up," said Blake Arbogast.

To schedule a test drive please call 1-866-975-3287 or email arbogastonline@davearbogast.com.

Zack Rohr Winner of the 8th Annual Perfect Attendance Drawing

Published Wednesday, 02 June, 2010 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Arbogast Dealership News.

Congratulations to Zack Rohr, a Troy High School sophomore, for winning this year's donated car from Dave Arbogast for perfect attendance! Zack, age 16, was randomly selected out of 107 students from THS that have never missed a day of school or shown up late. That amazing record paid off for Zack as he was awarded a bright red 2002 Chevy Cavalier on Thursday, May 27, 2010.

For eight years now, Dave Arbogast Buick GMC Auto Sales has been happy to award a vehicle to a Troy High School student with perfect attendance. It's especially fun for Blake Arbogast who is a graduate of THS himself. Blake and the rest of Arbogast employees look forward at the end of every school year to congratulating a lucky and deserving student.

This win was especially rewarding for Zach, as he has been borrowing a friend's car to get to and from school every day after wrecking his own car last fall. However, this big win won't stop the sophomore from going to school every day on time. He said, "I just like school. It's a place where you can see your friends and have fun, so that's why I'm here every day. And I'll still come every day."

Zach and Blake Arbogast were equally excited as the keys were handed off. The attendance record of this young student and the generosity of Dave Arbogast Auto sales are both impressive.

All 2011 Buick Regals To Be Flex-Fuel Capable Starting This Fall

Published Wednesday, 05 May, 2010 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Buick.

In the past week, the first shipments of all new 2010 Buick Regal have been coming into New Jersey from Germany. And we're pleased to hear that starting this fall, the Regal will be available with flex-fuel compatibility. Although the first several months of Regal production will all be powered by a gasoline-only version of General Motors' normally aspirated 2.4-liter inline four.

Once the 2.0-liter direct injected turbo four cylinder starts arriving in late August, both engines will be able to run on either gasoline or E85 ethanol. The turbocharged variant will be GM's first production E85-capable turbocharged and direct injected engine. The engine was originally developed for the new Saab 9-5, which uses the same Epsilon II platform as the Regal, and GM decided to install it in the U.S.-spec Buick as well.

According Jim Federico, vehicle line executive for the global mid size platform, combining direct injection and turbo charging will allow the new engine to get much closer to the volumetric fuel efficiency of gasoline while running on ethanol. Until now, normally aspirated flex-fuel engines typically have gotten about 15 percent worse fuel efficiency while on ethanol. The Regal engine should cut that deficit to the mid-single digits and future versions should be just about even.

90% of Buicks in China Are Bought for Cash

Published Thursday, 29 April, 2010 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Buick.

Here in the United States, the majority of new car sales are financed, and very few people will buy a car with cash. The exact opposite is true in China. Over 90% of new car sales are conducted for cash and that's quite a lot considering that Buick dealers in Beijing, Shanghai, and other large cities, typically sell over 2,000 cars a year. Another factor that's different in China is the rate in which Buicks are sold. A Buick, on average, will spend less than 20 days on a lot. An exception to that is the Enclave. Because they're imported from the U.S., the Buick Enclave is priced higher and it is only available by special order.

2011 Buick Regal Chinese Commerical

Published Wednesday, 28 April, 2010 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Buick.

While I was browsing YouTube earlier this morning, I came across a Chinese advertisement for the 2011 Buick Regal. It's definitely a cool commercial and it shows off the Regal from multiple angles along with a clip of the Regal peeling out at a stop light. How cool is that?

When I first watched this clip, I noticed the badge on the front fender with the letter "T" in it. As a car guy?
