Checkered Flag Hyundai Serving Norfolk Announces Tucson is a Top Safety Pick

Mon, 02 Aug 2010 20:07:12 +0000

Norfolk Hyundai dealer, Checkered Flag Hyundai, announces that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has awarded the 2010 Hyundai Tucson a “Top Safety Pick” designation for achieving the highest possible rating of “Good” in all crash test categories.

Vehicles were judged as “Good” had to pass a frontal offset crash test, side impact test, rear crash protection/head restraint rating and rollover roof strength test. To pass the roof strength testing, vehicles had to withstand a force equal to at least 4 times the vehicle’s weight. The current federal standard is 1.5 times weight.

As a final consideration, an IIHS “Top Safety Pick,” vehicles must also feature Electronic Stability Control (ESC)—a safety feature that has been standard on Tucson since the fall of 2004. This year, Hyundai has continued to improve the safety package on the Tucson, debuting new standard technologies such as Downhill Brake Control (DBC) and Hillstart Assist Control (HAC).

Checkered Flag Hyundai offers both the GLS and Limited trim levels. The GLS comes standard with steel wheels, air-conditioning, full power accessories, a tilt steering wheel and a six-speaker CD stereo with an iPod/USB interface. To this list of features, the Limited trim adds alloy wheels, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a tilt-and-telescoping multifunction steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control and Bluetooth.

Norfolk Honda dealer, Checkered Flag Honda, is anticipating the arrival of the all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey. The all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey breaks down segment barriers by adding style and excitement rarely associated with the minivan.

Lower and wider than last year’s model, the new Odyssey offers comfortable seating for eight, with more shoulder room and plenty of different configurations for fitting additional passengers, car seats or cargo. An all-new wide mode, for instance, allows three child car seats to fit across one row.

Outside the Odyssey will turn heads with its “lightning bolt” beltline, which gives the minivan a distinctive look that sets it apart from the other minivans on the road.

The Odyssey is powered by a 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 that, while powerful, is expected to achieve 19 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city and an astonishing 28 mpg on the highway.

Pulling technology into the mix, the Odyssey features a 12-speaker AM/FM/XM/CD Premium Audio System and voice-activated Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation. For entertainment for passengers, the Odyssey has an Ultra-Wide Rear Entertainment System with split-screen capability.

New to the 2011 model are 18-inch alloy wheels, larger ventilated front disc brakes, reworked side mirrors, available HID headlamps, and a power tailgate.

Norfolk MINI Cooper lovers say the John Cooper Works hard top models offer a thrilling and fun-to-drive performance while maintaining the iconic styling cues MINI has become famous for.

The front-wheel drive John Cooper Works, available as a two-door hatchback or convertible, represents the peak of MINI performance. Standard equipment includes exclusive 17-inch cross-spoke wheels with run-flat performance tires, piano black interior trim, Dynamic Stability Control, electronic differential lock control, and the debut of Dynamic Traction Control.

This MINI can also be equipped with optional upgrades such as Xenon headlights, sport suspension, aerodynamic body kit, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, navigation system, satellite radio, leather seat trim, parking sensors, rain sensing wipers, and black or white racing stripes are optional.

The Clubman has become a hit in the MINI community since its debut in 2008 with its spacious interior and split rear barn doors and clever club door. The 2010 Mini Clubman expands on everything that’s good about the Mini Cooper — literally. A stretched wheelbase allows for a more comfortable backseat and roomier cargo area than the regular Mini, and the fun performance Minis are known for is still intact.

Norfolk MINI Cooper shoppers can take advantage of 1.9% finance rates on 2010 MINI Coopers, plus $750 in bonus cash on all hardtops and $2,000 on convertibles.

Checkered Flag MINI Serving Norfolk Offers 1.9% Financing

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:45:50 +0000

Norfolk MINI dealer, Checkered Flag MINI, has announced special finance rates and lease options on all new 2010 MINI Coopers in stock. Plus, remaining new 2009 models in-stock are available with $3,500 off the MSRP.

For a limited time Norfolk MINI Cooper shoppers can purchase a new 2010 MINI with 1.9% APR financing up to 60 months PLUS receive an Option Credit of up to $1,575. Or, consumers may opt for a 39-month lease with $0 down. The lease offers start at $199 per month (see dealer for details). All remaining new 2009 MINI Cooper models in-stock can also be purchased with $3,500 off the MSRP. The MINI Cooper sale expires on 8/31/2010.

One of the key benefits of MINI Cooper cars, apart from their superb fuel efficiency, is their roomy interior. Although the Mini is small in appearance, it is still large enough to seat four adults. Checkered Flag MINI has the largest assortment of MINI Cooper models, including the best-selling MINI Cooper Clubman and MINI S Convertible.

The MINI Cooper Clubman quickly became a top seller in the MINI line and is expected to be a popular pick during Checkered Flag’s March sale. With its wide stance and rear split doors (aka, the boot), the Clubman has all the roominess Virginia buyers need without a hefty price tag. Of course, with spring around the corner, the MINI Cooper S Convertible is surely to be popular among Virginia MINI Cooper shoppers who love the feeling of an open-air ride.

Surprisingly enough, the MINI S Convertible can be ordered to put its top down by simply pressing on the key fob, which sounds more like a Mercedes-Benz feature than something on a 25K convertible. Another innovative feature: When you press the top-down button—even at speeds up to 75 mph—the top will recede 15.8 inches to let a little sunshine in.

St Mary’s Home for the Disabled will be receiving a brand new 2010 VW Beetle courtesy of Checkered Flag VW in Virginia Beach and their hundreds of new Facebook fans.

Checkered Flag held a Facebook fan drive to promote St Mary’s Home for Disabled Children in Norfolk. If they received 500 new ‘Likes’, they would donate a new 2010 VW Beetle to be raffled off at the St Mary’s annual auction, with all proceeds going to the organization.

The news spread rapidly and the generous people of Virginia quickly replied. More than 500 people showed their support of Checkered Flag’s philanthropic gesture and became a fan of Checkered Flag VW.

With their goal of 500 new likes reached, Checkered Flag VW in Virginia Beach will donate the 2010 VW Beetle to St Mary’s to be auctioned off during their 6th Annual Auction and Gala in February.

St. Mary’s Home for Disabled Children in Norfolk is where children and young adults from all across Virginia live, play, go to school and receive complex, professional, around-the-clock care in a nurturing, comfortable environment to help them achieve their fullest potential.

St. Mary’s Home is Virginia’s largest long-term pediatric residential care facility dedicated exclusively to children with severe physical and intellectual disabilities and one of only about 100 facilities of its kind nationwide. Staff provide medical, therapeutic, educational and recreational services for as many as 92 children and young adults, ages newborn to 21 years.

The Home opened on Dec. 8, 1944, as an infant home for children who had no homes of their own or needed a temporary place to stay while their mothers were at work in war plants. The sisters of the order of the Daughters of Wisdom began caring for the children in 1946.

Norfolk Hyundai Dealer anticipating fall arrival of 2011 Hyundai Equus

Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:13:36 +0000

Norfolk Hyundai dealer, Checkered Flag Hyundai, has announced its first shipment of 2011 Hyundai Equus vehicles will be received at the dealership this fall.

The Equus has been highly anticipated by many Norfolk Hyundai shoppers because it has many of the same features as a high-end luxury vehicle with a price anywhere from $12 – $35,000 less.

The leather is soft. The seat is plush and comfortable, and the headliner is made from of Alcantara suede, just like that in an S65 AMG. The 2011 Hyundai Equus even has French stitching on the leather-wrapped dash.

This full-size, rear-drive luxury sedan will give Hyundai a budget alternative to a Mercedes S-Class, Lexus LS, Jaguar XJ or other top-notch sedans.

The Equus rides on a 5-link suspension (front and rear) featuring lightweight aluminum control arms while Hyundai has worked in partnership with ZF-SACHS to develop an air-suspension that is electronically governed to minimize body roll, nose-diving and other undesirable characteristics.

Other notable highlights include the standard Vehicle Stability Management which integrates the Lane Departure Warning System, Pre-Safety System, Third Generation Smart Cruise Control (SCC) and other sub-systems, as well as the addition of a Knee Air Bag for the driver that brings the total airbag count to nine.

Hyundai says the price of the 2011 Equus should start at $50-$60,000 and the vehicle will be extremely well-equipped, meaning the Equus would undercut prices on comparable competitor vehicles.

Equus is Latin for “horse,” and this new Hyundai will run with the best of them.

Norfolk Porsche Dealer Welcomes 2011 Panamera, Cayenne

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:35:09 +0000

Norfolk Porsche dealer, Checkered Flag Porsche, announces the anticipated arrival of the 2011 Porsche Panamera and 2011 Porsche Cayenne. Both models are in limited supply at the Virginia Beach dealership.

The new Panamera is the first all-new Porsche in seven years and represents the renowned German sports car company’s first four-door luxury sedan in its 61-year history. The Panamera is now the fourth model line for Porsche and one of the most highly anticipated vehicles since the company announced it would build it more than four years ago.

Porsche Panamera

The new Panamera looks like a sports car with the low, aggressive silhouette of a coupe, while still providing four full size seats and very generous passenger and luggage space. The luxury Panamera offers as much brains as it does beauty. For example, the 400-horsepower V8 engine offers an EPA estimated 16 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, while the 500 horsepower V8 twin turbo engine offers 15 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. Both of these ratings are best-in-class.

The 2011 Porsche Cayenne S and Turbo models have been heavily redesigned and loaded with a dizzying array of upgrades. The exterior of the new Cayenne follows in Porsche’s philosophy of evolutionary design, but the 2011 model does feature a much sleeker appearance than the current Cayenne, thanks to more sophisticated body styling.

With a redesigned interior, the 2011 Cayenne sports a new and longer center console and a repositioned shift-knob. Overall, nearly everything has been freshened and enhanced, including placement of the center air vents, sportier gauges and a new steering wheel.

Norfolk Porsche shoppers can learn more about each model for sale by visiting http://www.checkeredflag.com/makes/checkered-flag-porsche.htm

Checkered Flag Porsche has a limited supply of each model in stock. Consumers are seriously considering purchasing or leasing either model should contact Checkered Flag immediately.

Norfolk Virginia Car Dealers Join Advertising Network

Wed, 12 May 2010 05:07:19 +0000

Norfolk car dealers have a new membership network to generate exclusive consumer car leads. The Automotive Advertising Network (AAN) leverages the power of member dealers in Florida to generate more exclusive consumer sales leads and increase the visibility of their websites on search engines.

Norfolk Virginia car dealers have welcomed the Automotive Advertising Network (AAN) because it is the first dealer-centric lead provider that provides members with unlimited leads and online promotion of their inventory on national, regional and local websites that are strategically positioned to appear on top of the most popular search engines, social networks and blogs.

Members can also place their car inventory in front of consumer blogs, press releases and on Fan Page tabs inside of Facebook. By placing their car inventory on the most popular places where consumers spend their time online, the dealer’s brand exposure is increased.

The AAN, created by industry veterans Brian Pasch, Sean Wolfington and David Boice, help dealers generate more leads for less cost. The member dealers are using their collective power to compete with third-party lead providers who historically have had a big advantage on search engines because of their national footprint and corresponding search authority. The national consumer website for the AAN is located at www.cardealersale.com.

“The network’s advertising technology gives member dealers broader exposure for their new and used inventory online by helping them appear where customers start their shopping process – search engines and social media Web sites like Facebook”, said Pasch.

“It is very difficult for dealers to come up on top of the search engines for these phrases because there are many lead providers competing for the same 10 results on the first-page,” explained Wolfington. “The network has the national and regional search authority so our vehicles appear on top of the results in our market,” said Brian Benstock, GM of Paragon Honda/Acura, the #1 selling Honda/Acura dealer in the world. “All of our vehicles that are listed on the network link back to our dealership website so our website gets more traffic and relevance on search engines because we inherit the search authority of the network.”

“Many third-party lead providers sell the same leads to multiple dealers and this hurts the closing ratio and average gross profit because many dealers are chasing the same lead”, said Benstock. “The network gives us exclusive leads that are not sold to other dealers so the closing ratio is a lot higher.” “Dealers prefer leads that are not sold to multiple dealers because they generate better returns”, said David Boice.”

The Automotive Advertising Network gives local dealers a national, regional and local footprint to increase their authority so they appear ahead of third-party lead providers for popular national and regional search phrases. The network’s advertising model is being praised by member dealers because competitor’s cars and distracting advertising banners are not placed on their car detail pages.

“We have a smart strategy to optimize our own web site to appear on top for local searches, but the network helps us reach people who type in the more popular national and regional search phrases like ‘Toyota Recall Virginia’”, added Alex Snyder from Checkered Flag Toyota in Virginia Beach. “The network also fuels our off-site SEO strategy which helps my dealership websites rank higher for popular search phrases in our market because of the relevant back-links the network provides.”

The Automotive Advertising Network powers hundreds of websites that are optimized to appear on Google’s page one for popular national and regional search phrases like “Boston Dealers”. This phrase is entered by over 22,000 consumer searches a month and drives consistent monthly traffic to www.bostondealers.org.

“The ad network is our best new source of leads because they have a high closing ratio and are inexpensive because we pay a flat fee no matter how many leads we receive” said Jon Sherrell, Internet Director at the Rairdon Group in Washington State.”

Participating dealers pay a fixed membership fee to join the Automotive Advertising Network ($995) and receive:

Unlimited leads from ready-to-buy consumers who are actively searching for a vehicle in their market.

Promotion of dealership and inventory on www.CarDealerSale.com, as well as regional and local websites in their primary markets.

Promotion of dealership and inventory on the most popular social media sites with Live inventory posted on your Facebook Fan Page.

Unlimited car inventory publishing on popular blog platforms and WordPress plug-ins for optimized inventory listings.

Banner advertising on the AAN local websites. Also, AAN members will never see competitor ads on their Inventory listing pages. The first search optimized, dealer-centric advertising platform.

Access to the networks automotive press release publishing system and unlimited press release publishing on national and regional websites. The AAN is building a dealer centric Automotive News network.

Broad Selection of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Available at Norfolk Dealer

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:28:15 +0000

Checkered Flag Hyundai of Virginia Beach has expanded their inventory of the all new 2011 Hyundai Sonata. After an impressive introduction to the Virginia Beach market, sales for the 2011 Sonata continue to peak in Virginia at Checkered Flag Hyundai and across the nation. In response to the Sonata’s popularity, Checkered Flag Hyundai has more than doubled their inventory to meet the demand from consumers.

The all-new 2011 Hyundai Sonata joins an elite group of motor vehicles as a “Top Safety Pick” of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This award is only given to those vehicles that do a superior job protecting people in front, side, rear and rollover crashes. Sonata is built from the ground up with safety in mind, with a hot stamped ultra-high-strength steel body structure, advanced airbag technology and Electronic Stability Control (ESC), delivering on Hyundai’s commitment to both active and passive safety technology leadership.

In 2005, the Sonata was the first popular midsize sedan to standardize ESC– once again every 2011 Sonata has lifesaving ESC as standard equipment. This is important because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported that ESC results in 35 percent fewer single-vehicle crashes and 30 percent fewer single-vehicle fatalities in passenger cars.

A smart choice for Virginia families, the 2011 Sonata also features a state-of-the-art Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) including Brake Assist and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). Sonata features six airbags—including dual front, front seat-mounted side-impact, and front and rear side curtain airbags—along with active front-seat head restraints. Add to that best-in-class fuel economy at 35 miles per gallon on the highway and the Sonata becomes the car that will serve all aspects of daily life and look good doing so.

Virginia Beach Hyundai shoppers can test drive the all new Sonata by visiting Checkered Flag Hyundai.

He said he wanted to focus on improving quality worldwide.

“I trust that our officials in the U.S. will amply answer the questions,” Toyoda said Wednesday in his third news conference in two weeks. “We are sending the best people to the hearing, and I hope to back up the efforts from headquarters.”

He said Yoshi Inaba, who heads Toyota Motor Corp.’s North American unit, was more familiar with the U.S. situation and was the best executive to deal with the hearing. Toyoda said he was still making plans to go to the U.S. and dates have yet to be set.
