The car business in 2010; my my we've come a long way!

August is just a few days away, the month that generally signals the change over in model year in the automotive industry. As the 2011 models begin to arrive all over the country, the car buying public will once again be impressed. Gone are the days of lack luster performance and “good enough” quality. Today’s automobiles, particularly Ford Motor Company’s, are not only meeting customer expectations but exceeding them!

Take for instance a customer we had last week who was interested in a Hybrid. It was easy for her to find information about our selection by going to our website, www.riversideford.net. Once she had found the car she was interested in (a 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid), she was able to make an appointment to test drive it all from the comfort of her home. After seeing the car in person, she decided it was the one for her. She was blown away by the great deal she was offered. The best part though was the call I got from her the next day. While out driving her Milan Hybrid, she averaged 42 MPG over a 55 mile stretch. That is incredible!

Looking a little deeper at this accomplishment, consider that outstanding mileage was achieved by adding content rather than stripping it away. 6 airbags, heated seats, rear view camera, satellite radio, and an in dash 6-disc CD changer are just a few of the amenities included in her Milan. Economy, performance, safety, and comfort can live together. What a great time to be driving!
