2009 Corvette ZR1 Allocation for City Chevrolet!

Chevrolet is pleased to introduce the 2009 Corvette ZR1 - an American supercar that brings the technology and engineering refinement of carbon fiber, ceramis and electronics together in a distinctive classic design. Chevrolet's goal with the new ZR1 is to show what an American supercar can deliver at a price that trumps exotics costing two, three or four times as much. We have been given congratulations here at City Chevrolet for earning the opportunity to become one of the select ZR1 Certified Corvette dealerships. As a ZR1 eligible dealership, we play a key role in launching the ZR1 and establishing its heritage as the world's most affordable and most practical "Supercar". An intregal part of the ZR1 business plan is to provide an allocation quantity of 2009 ZR1's in our dealership. Based on the expected production schedule, City Chevrolet is eligable for four 2009 ZR1 vehicles. We will be receiving these ZR1s on the following estimated shipping schedule:

• July 2008: Estimated Shipping Quantity: 1
• September 2008: Estimated Shipping Quantity: 1
• November 2008: Estimated Shipping Quantity: 1
• January, 2009: Estimated Shipping Quantity: 1

We have developed a ZR1 Special Tool Package that will be available in our Service Department where our service technicians will be fully trained in complete ZR1 maintenance.

All ZR1's will include the opportunity for the purchasers to attend one of three Driving School's (Bob Bondurant, Skip Barber, or Spring Mountain). By doing so, our customers will receive classroom and on track training that will prepare them to appreciate their new ZR1 Supercar performance.

We strive to demonstrate Chevrolet's ability to engineer, build, market, and sell the finest products in the world.

Pilot to Copilot...

THE NEW CHEVY MALIBU TAKES FLIGHT!

While US Airways' headquarters is located in Charlotte, NC, what I saw during my recent flight to Buffalo was pleasantly unexpected. As the US Airways' flight attendant was coming around with beverages, I flipped down my tray, much to my surprise, to find a Chevy Malibu advertisement right in front of me! While I knew that the Chevy Malibu has surely made its impact on the road, little did I know the impact that it has made in the air! I felt a little strange as I reached over to put down the tray to my right to check and see if mine was a fluke. Sure enough, there was a 2nd ad for the Malibu coupled with OnStar. Everywhere I looked I saw traytables with full-size advertisements. I know the neighboring passengers looked at me sheepishly as I pulled out my camera to snap a shot, but I didn't care.

The slogan reads: "You relax. We navigate. Kind of like what you're doing now." It goes on to say "OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation. Standard for one year on Chevy Malibu. Not on Camry or Accord." Open your garage, your new 2008 Chevy Malibu is cleared for landing!

Wonderful Experience at City Chevrolet

“I wouldn’t want any other salesperson other than Joe Ayers. He was great to deal with!” Joane, June 26 “It was such a wonderful experience. My husband can’t stop talking about it! (Adrian Drayton)” Courtney, July 8 “Andy Snyder was such a great guy and a great salesman. I can’t say enough good things. It is always a smooth process.” Trey, June 27

City Chevrolet's New Intern!

Meet Cevin Crawford...City Chevrolet's 2nd Official Summer Intern! That's pronounced like "Kevin" not "7." Cevin comes to us all the way from Northwood University, which is in Midland, Michigan. In the fall, he will begin his Senior year in Automotive Marketing, which is the chief major that Northwood University is known for. This is the 2nd year that Hendrick has participated in the summer internship program with Northwood University. Each intern is required to complete 400 hours within a 9-week period. Last summer, our intern, Ryan Koch, was placed in variable operations and spent the majority of his time in our CDC/Internet Department. This year, Cevin Crawford will be spending thie majority of his 9 weeks gracing our Service Department and shadowing Tripp Wilson, who is one of City's finest and senior Service Advisors.

When Cevin was asked what he wants to do after his last year at college, he said, "I want to work for a big company like Hendrick." He went on to say that maybe he'd like to follow in his dad's footsteps and own a store someday, as his father had opened his own pre-owned store in 1981 called Tuscola Brokers.

I asked Cevin what the best part of interning at City Chevrolet is, and he responded, "the reputation and how business is run...you take care of the customer." When I asked him who the nicest person is that he has met so far, he quickly responded, "Tim Whitten...he's fun!" Since Tim is Cevin's manager for the summer and will ultimately determine Cevin's "internship fate," that was a wise, yet candid response!

"One last question," I said. "Why did your parents name you 'Cevin' with a 'C' and not a 'K'?" Cevin chuckled a bit and said "The night before I was born, my dad had a dream that one day I would own a dealership and it would be called 'Cevin Crawford Chevrolet'...all C's!" With a foresight like his father's, combined with the drive and determination that we've witnessed from Cevin, watch out Michigan dealerships, watch out!
