Dave Arbogast Buick GMC

I was sitting with my wife last night when this commercial came on featuring Ed Whitacre CEO of GM.  My first thought was finally Ed's showing so fire!  I really think this a great commercial, I mean come on GM paid off the loans five years early.  Check out the Video...

This morning, General Motors Chairman and CEO Ed Whitacre confirmed that the company has paid back a total of $5.8 billion in federal loans a full five years ahead of schedule. Whitacre attributed the company's ability to make the payment, with interest, to its new strategy and the success of new models like the Buick Lacrosse.

GM received some $50 billion in loans from both the U.S. and Canadian governments, with the majority of those funds converted into company stock. The remainder totaled over $8 billion owed to the U.S. and Canadian governments, all of which has now been paid back less than a year after GM emerged from bankruptcy. The news was announced at a press conference at the company's Fairfax, Kansas manufacturing facility, which will soon add production of the hot-selling Chevrolet Malibu, and was attended by Kansas Governor Mark Parkinson and other members of government.

As it is, the federal government still owns 60.8 percent of GM, which means that whenever the company issues its IPO, the tax payers could easily get all of their money back.

For the month of March, the total sales for GMC rose 45% for a total of 27,648 sales. A large portion of the total sales was due to the popularity of the new GMC Terrain.

GMC retail sales were up 43 percent. The brand has posted retail and total year-over-year increases for six straight months. Sales of Terrain rose 331 percent, compared to the vehicle it replaced. Acadia also had a good month with a 37 percent sales increase.

The Sierra full-size pickup had its best retail sales month of the year and posted a total sales increase of 26 percent, compared to March last year.

Terrain continues to bring new customers to the brand, attracting a higher proportion of women than any other GMC product. About 40 percent of Terrain buyers are women, more than 10 percentage points above the overall brand.

To meet the growing customer demand for the Terrain, GM's CAMI Automotive Plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, has developed an innovative production scheme - shuttling Terrain bodies to a plant in Oshawa for final assembly. This is the third time that production has been increased to meet growing demand for the Terrain.

Buick posted its sixth straight month of U.S. sales increases in March as the LaCrosse luxury sedan continued to attract a new audience for the brand.

Buick reported a total of 12,954 sales this month, a 76% increase compared to March 2009. Sales of the Lacrosse were up 236% and the Enclave also had a good month with sales up 42%.

Introduced in 2010, LaCrosse is reshaping the face of Buick. LaCrosse buyers?

Live on the floor at the 2010 New York City Auto Show, Suzuki is displaying the new Sport version of the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi. The near perfect blend of styling, performance, and value all make the Kizashi a solid, and economical car for just about anyone. And with the addition of the Sport package, we at Dave Arbogast feel that the little extra bit of styling and performance make the Kizashi even more appealing.

Last year for the month of April, Arbogast was the #1 Buick, Pontiac GMC dealer in Ohio, and sold 250 cars! Spread the word, and let's make this year even better for three great causes!

The structure for donations to Young Life will based upon total sales will be as follows:

0 - 50 cars = $1,000
50 - 100 = $1,500
100 - 150 = $2,000
150 - 200 = $2,500

200 - 250 = $3,000
250 - 300 = $3,500
300 - 350 = $4,000

For example, if there are 201 cars sold for the month of April, Arbogast will donate $3,000!

For all three charities, Dave Arbogast will donate 10% of the total invoice amount for service and parts orders, when the appropriate voucher for your charity is presented at the time of payment. The coupon is not a discount on services or parts, but a specification to where the 10% should go, so if you want to help, don't forget to print your voucher and take it with you!

To schedule a service appointment call JC at 1-866-975-3287, or visit www.davearbogast.com

*10% vouchers may be used in conjunction with other coupons. Vouchers must be presented at the time of payment. They may not be used with the purchase of a vehicle. Vouchers are only good for the month of April 2010 and hold no cash value.

Dave Arbogast Buick is proud to announce that Ward's Auto has selected the Regal and the LaCrosse as finalists for their eye-catching award for the best interiors for 2010. Ward's selected 40 vehicles that met their requirements, and each vehicle was put through a process that examines and judges interior ergonomics, quality and feel of materials, comfort, fit and finish, and overall value.

 The 2011 Buick Regal ranked in the Popular-Priced car class along with the Dodge Caliber, Hyundai Sonata, Volkswagen Golf, and others. And the 2010 Buick LaCrosse ranked in the Premium-Priced along with the Porche Panamera, BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo, Ford Taurus SHO, and others.

 The winners of each particular class will be announced in mid-April and we at Dave Arbogast can't be more excited to see the results. Just for these two Buicks to be considered for an award of this kind is real evidence of how serious Buick really is about their brand overhaul and their new direction in the automotive market.
