Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta Awarded Audi Magna Society for Fourth Year in a Row!

Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta Magna award winner

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 30, 2010

This week, Audi USA released the list of dealerships to be a part of the acclaimed Magna Society. Tracie Dean, General Manager of Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta was elated to learn that the store has held this distinction for four years running! “I couldn’t be more proud of my team,” says Dean. “It is truly our people that set us apart.”

Audi USA created the Magna Society in order to give recognition to the US Audi dealerships that stand out above and beyond all others. In 2009, only about 20% of the 270 Audi dealerships in the USA were awarded the distinction of being Magna Audi Dealers.

Magna distinction does not simply reflect volume of cars sold by a dealership, or the number of customers who pull into the service lanes; it also includes the highest praise: customer satisfaction indices.

“This is far more than a sales contest,” said Reinhard Fischer, Director, Network Management, Audi of America in a 2008 press release from Audi USA. “It is a broad-based measurement of dealers leading the way in firmly establishing that the Audi experience is a superior experience for American luxury car buyers.”

The operational efficiency that sets a Magna dealership apart from the rest means that Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta customers experience a seamless and simple process regardless of whether they are purchasing, leasing, or servicing an Audi.

“Tracie and her team have once again earned this prestigious Magna Society Award that recognizes their continued, focused, commitment to excellence in Audi sales, service, and parts. It is great to see all of their efforts rewarded with this recognition,” says Jimmy Ellis, Vice President and COO of the Jim Ellis Automotive Group. “I’m very proud of the Jim Ellis Audi Team!”

Jim Ellis Audi Atlanta is proud to be the only Magna Audi Dealership in Georgia!

Awards season is finally winding down with the 2010 World Car of the Year and World Performance Car of the Year being handed out this morning at the 2010 New York Auto Show. After whittling the fields down to three finalists in each category, the panel of 59 international journalists voted one last time to crown the World Car of the Year.

While the Toyota Prius, Volkswagen Polo and Mercedes-Benz E-Class were nominated, it was the Polo that took home the gold for 2010 World Car of the Year.

On the performance vehicle front, the nominees were the Audi R8 V10, Porsche 911 GT3 and Ferrari California, with the Audi winning top honors.

They also handed out a Design award for a group of finalists including the Citroen C3 Picasso, Kia Soul and Chevrolet Camaro. That honor went to the Camaro. (U-S-A! U-S-A!)

The Green category saw Volkswagen‘s line of diesel-powered BlueMotion vehicles beat out the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight hybrids. (Die-sel! Die-sel!)

My parents recently bought me an Audi a4 for my Sweet 16. I find this fabulous, if not expected, but now I face the issue of driving it to school or not. While I’m very pleased with my car, I’m worried on what people’s perspective of a 16 year old with such a nice car is. Opinions?

Audi in 2008 will be hoping to improve on what has been a stellar twelve months. Naturally more premium manufacturers such as Ford and Vauxhall have had the most success in terms of sale lists in dealerships, but out of prestige car ranges, Audi seem to be a top player in what is a lucrative sector of the market. But what has given Audi dealerships such a boost? Is it new styling and engines, or simply an increase of brand recognition? Added to this what can Audi dealerships deliver in the next year?

One of the reasons behind the good fortune of Audi dealerships has been the increase in business customers; for the first time last year, the little manufacturer from Germany managed to overtake its much bigger competitor, BMW. Seemingly companies are now more inclined to use Audis to fill their fleets where as in the past BMW has been the main choice. Once again Ford tops the charts but Audi are gaining and may even enter the top five in the business registrations table.

This has mainly been a result of the popularity of the Audi A4 with business customers. Recently it was voted Europe’s number one executive car. This car was championed by a variety of motoring magazines across the whole of Europe. This popularity over similar models such as the BMW 5 and 6 Series as well as the Mercedes C Class will greatly pleasure Audi dealerships. They will feel as if they are finally getting the recognition they deserve.

So what new developments will be occurring on the forecourts of Audi dealerships this year?

First and foremost is the Audi A3 convertible. Created to rival Peugeot’s 206 and the more pricy Mercedes hard top it will certainly put a smile on the face of many. While it cannot be considered cheap it can be considered value for money, with fabulous styling that give the car looks to die for and performance figures to match some have described it as a thing of beauty. Audi have abandoned past wisdom and instead of installing a hardtop in the car that would make it heavy with poor handling, they have instead opted for a soft top that while keeping the rain out, reduces the weight and does not affect the handling.

This year will also see further releases of the A4 class. Predominantly 2008 will see the release of the sedan and wagon models with new spoilers and styling. This will undoubtedly improve the popularity of this already popular car. There will also be new interior packages for the Audi A4 models this year. Most dealerships will be offering these new options.

The A5 coupe is to be released this year to compete with rival models such as the BMW 3 Series and 6 Series coupes. The car will have a new chassis setup that is hoped to improve handling by placing the engine behind the front wheels rather than Audis of old that had their engines in front of the forward wheel axle. The A6 will also get an upgrade in terms of styling but in effect remains the same car as last year.

Overall Audi dealerships have much to look forward to this year. They will be hoping to build upon what was a good year in 2007, especially in terms of sales. Added to these models there is one that has already caused a great deal of excitement in the motoring world. The R8 brings futuristic styling and performance to the forecourt, although finding these in dealerships will most probably be a Herculean task. Pre-ordering has already rendered any ‘off the forecourt’ buying useless. Other than this of course, dealerships will be hoping to build on the ingresses into the business and family car market.
