Chevrolet, a Megabrand

sbparks — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:04:30 +0000

Congrats to Chevrolet, the No. 5 Megabrand in the country. GM is spending our dollars smarter, keeping you informed of the latest, helping drive Detroit, and pushing our vehicles further than ever to bring you the best product. By shedding our smaller brands, we are now able to focus on the major brands. We are thrilled about the state of Chevrolet, and our brand is ever-growing. See article from AdAge on megabrands list here.

We are excited about the new things happening with our #1 GM brand, and I can tell you that some great things are coming as well.

You’ve probably seen this if you are a tv buff, but this is one of my favorite Chevrolet commercials this year for the Equinox, Consumer’s Digest Best Buy. There are so many options with the Equinox, and the attention to detail and fuel efficiency makes it a vehicle to love for any stage of life.

I wanted you all to be on the look-out for a car that is perpetuating lots of talk in the automobile industry. Introducing, the 2011 Buick Regal. Test-driven by Automobile Magazine‘s Joe DeMatio at the famous Nurburgring Nordschleife, in the Eifel mountains of Germany, the Buick Regal is making heads turn.

“What it is, it turns out, is a very well tuned, near-luxury sport sedan that, in terms of sheer driving pleasure, surpasses anything else in its class made in Detroit these days, not to mention imports like the Acura TSX and the Lexus ES350.” -Joe DeMatio, Automobile Magazine

The car comes with two direct injection, four-cylinder engines and is available with optional manual transmission for the do-it-yourself shifter types.

“I couldn’t quite get over the fact that I was driving a Buick that was running in the fast-moving flow of BMWs, Audis, and Mercedes-Benzes, and yet I didn’t feel the least bit deprived. The engine gladly races toward its 6500-rpm redline whenever it’s summoned, but it settles into a relatively modest 3500-rpm thrum at 110 mph. The brakes had good pedal feel and suffered no fade over repeated hard Autobahn use.” -Automobile Magazine

“…the Regal emerged as a surprisingly fun sedan that has little in common with your grandmother’s Buick.” -Automobile Magazine

“This car, along with the new LaCrosse, should continue to change people’s perception about the new Buick. ” -autoweek.com

2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo

Base price/as tested: $29,495/$30,745

Powertrain Engine: 2.0-liter turbocharged DOHC 16-valve inline-4

Horsepower: 220 hp

Fuel economy

Back in Business

sbparks — Mon, 03 May 2010 20:47:25 +0000

As you already know if you live in New Albany, we were hit pretty badly by the flood waters that consumed much of Mississippi and Tennessee early Sunday evening. We were able to get all of the cars off of the lot just in time to save them, but we had lots of water inside. We did as much as we could Sunday night to stop the water, and God did a lot of work for us during the night as the waters began to recede a little. My heart was warmed when I arrived to work early Monday morning to find more than half of the employees already there, starting to clean up the mess.

I just wanted to thank you all for your phone calls, your inquiries, and your prayers. A lot has happened in the last couple of days, and we are thankful to get things moving again. I would like to especially thank David Joiner, Bro. Rickey Blythe, Kenny Rakestraw, David Meeks, Mike McCarter, Rickey Henry, and the New Albany Fire Department. I also want to give a special thanks to my employees and staff. We have a long way to go, but we’ve also gotten a lot done; I am so appreciative of your efforts and your eagerness to clean up and take care of Parks.

Come by and see us. We are open for business again, and you’ll likely get to see more of the clean-up going on now.

Here are a few more images taken by our own, Judy Henry.
