Hyundai and Kia Lead in 2009

Only 3 automotive brands posted sales gains in 2009, Hyundai, Kia and Subaru.  Why did Hyundai and Kia do so well during last year's challenging market?  The primary reason is that these brands are providing significant value for new and used car shoppers in Dayton, Cincinnati, and Springfield, Ohio, as well as the rest of the country.  It also helps significantly when both Hyundai and Kia offer a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty!  We are finding that new car shoppers that would not consider Hyundai or Kia before are finding themselves pleasantly surprised by the large variety of quality cars, SUVs and vans that Hyundai and Kia offer at a very low price and packaged with a great warranty.  Kia has really made a statement in the last 6 months with the new 2010 Kia Soul and the 2010 Kia Forte, while Hyundai's Genesis Coupe was turning the heads of sports car enthusisasts.  Our Springfield Ohio Hyundai dealership has a large inventory of new and used Hyundai vehicles to choose from, while our 3 Kia dealerships serving greater Cincinnati, greater Dayton and Springfield, OH have a huge combined inventory to browse.  If you are looking for great value for your dollar, Hyundai and Kia deliver! 

 

Honda & Toyota Dominate Best Resale Value Awards for 2009

One of the primary reasons that Cincinnati Honda and Louisville Toyota drivers are so loyal to their brands is because of the outstanding resale values these vehicles hold in the market.  Kelly Blue Book recently announced the Best Resale Value Awards for 2009, and the top 10 models are dominated by Honda and Toyota vehicles.  Here is the list:

Honda Civic and Civic Hybrid
Honda Fit
MINI Cooper
Scion xB, Scion xD, Scion tC
Toyota Corolla
Toyota Prius
Toyota Yaris
Volkswagen Rabbit

When a smart shopper buys a new or used vehicle, they should be thinking about how well the vehicle holds its resale value.  A new vehicle will typically retain thirty five percent of its original value after the first five years from its purchase date.  The vehicles in this list are holding more value than this on average, but further, they are desirable to used car buyers because of their reputation for a long life (can drive for many miles) with minimal maintenance.  Other factors to consider include having popular colors, automatic transmission, leather interiors, antilock (ABS) brakes, and iPod/MP3 compatibility (which are all desirable features by used car buyers).

Our greater Cincinnati Honda dealers have sold a lot of Honda Civics and Honda Fits in 2009, so we can see first hand that car buyers in Cincy and Northern Kentucky really like these models.  Our greater Louisville Toyota Scion dealer - Jeff Wyler Clarksville Toyota Scion, and greater Dayton Toyota dealer - Jeff Wyler Springfield Toyota, has had a big year as well.  While the Corolla is a perennial favorite, the Prius and Yaris were big sellers in 2009 (and are expected to repeat in 2010), and the Scion xB, xD, and tC are gaining more popularity each year.  NOTE:  KBB excluded low volume vehicles and vehicles with a MSRP of $60,000 or higher from consideration.

 

Honda Wins 3 Best Residual Value Awards

Smart car shoppers in Cincinnati consider how much value their new or used car will hold over time, and Honda has won 3 awards for best residual value from ALG.  In the Best Midsize Category, the Honda Accord won the best residual value award, while the Honda Odyssey dominated in the Best Minivan Category, and the Honda Fit won in the hotly contested Best Compact Category.  What does this mean to you?  Value!  If you decide to lease a Honda from one of our Cincinnati Honda dealerships, a high residual value means lower lease payments across the term of your agreement.  If you decide to purchase a new or used Honda, you can rest assured that when you decide to trade in your vehicle, or resell it later, it will holds its value much better than its competitors, which means more money in your pocket. 

Honda's are known for having a great residual value, as well as for driving for miles and miles, which is why so many Cincinnati Honda drivers remain loyal.  And it only follows that serious Honda fans buy and service their vehicles at Ohio's highest rated Honda dealership and Kentucky's highest rated Honda dealers - Jeff Wyler Honda!  We are proud of our online consumer ratings and are looking forward to welcoming you to the Jeff Wyler family.  Come down and test drive your new or used Honda Fit, Odyssey, or Accord today.

 

 

 
 
 

2010 Nissan Cube is Design of the Year

If you are the type of driver that prefers to drive in style around Cincinnati, then the 2010 Nissan Cube is the car for you!  Automobilemag.com recently awarded the Cube the 2010 Design of the Year, describing it as "funky, fun and futuristic".  

Is it different looking?  Absolutely - remember, this is a car designed to be different and charming for the owner who likes to have fun while driving.  With plenty of headroom, legroom, and even elbow room, the Nissan Cube is spacious and comfortable.  

Did you know that Nissan actually consulted with an expert in Feng shui (the ancient Chinese system of designing buildings and space arrangement according to special rules about the flow of energy, aimed at achieving harmony with the environment) while designing the Cube?  It's true, and all you have to do is sit in the Cube to feel the sense of well-being.  Imagine that, driving while feeling relaxed during your Cincinnati commute.  

We like the "wave" theme throughout the Nissan Cube, including the curved dash, the wave pattern in the carpet, concentric rings in the cup holders, and even overhead on the headliner.  As you reach for various buttons and knobs, you will see that everything has been designed to work together - looks like that Feng shui concept has worked out well. 

The engine and powertrain of the Cube has been designed to be practical and fuel efficient.  It handles well on curvy roads, and even has some zip on the highway when passing slower vehicles.  The interior of the car is also surprisingly quiet, which makes the stereo sound even better.  Come in and test drive your new 2010 Nissan Cube today at one of our 2 Cincinnati Nissan dealers, Jeff Wyler Fairfield Nissan and Jeff Wyler Eastgate Nissan.

2010 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty - Truck of the Year!

Motor Trend has named the 2010 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty Truck the "Truck of the Year".  With lots of folks in northern Kentucky, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Springfield, Ohio being serious Dodge Ram truck fans, we wanted to share this significant accolade with our readers.  

To be considered for this award, Motor Trend requires that the trucks in consideration have had significant changes in the last 12 months.  You might recall that the Dodge Ram Heavy Duty truck went through some significant redesign for the 2010 model, and as a result, the Ram won a unanimous decision for the Truck of the Year.  

Here are the criteria used for consideration:  design advancement, intended function, efficiency, engineering excellence, safety, and value.  The Dodge Ram's Cummins diesel was found to be incredibly impressive, as it met all 50 states emissions standards without needing aftermarket add-on work.  

Some of the key features of the 2010 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty truck include:

*  Front and rear shocks and springs are tuned for optimal ride quality and capability
*  Improved suspension tuning results in reduced shake, providing a better ride
*  2500 and 3500 Models feature standard exhaust brake (important if hauling heavy loads)
*  Integrated trailer brake control is available
*  New transmissions feature Electronic Range Select, allowing the driver to manually limit the highest available transmission gear (important while towing)
*  Increased levels of capability
*  Improved trailer tow mirrors
*  Increased towing, payload, and axle capacity
*  More than 25 safety and security features
*  Ram Heavy Duty powertrains including 6.7 liter Cummins turbo diesel and 5.7 liter HEMI V8
