Despite the challenging economy, we are having a good year. We recently celebrated our 95th year in business and are one of the oldest family owned dealerships in all of General Motors. It was a great pleasure to see so many of our old friends at our Open House last month. We have much to be thankful for.
We really are a family at Reynolds, and one thing we believe in strongly is our involvement in our local community. Recently we sponsored an event in Azusa called the "Heart of Grub". It was put on by a local faith based initiative called Cory's Kitchen, which is an community aid organization that collects food donations and shares their food, their faith, their care, and their compassion with those in need. Last year alone they estimate that they assisted over 18,000 people.
We received a very touching letter thanking us for our assistance, which we are sharing with you here. It touched us very deeply. In this time of thanksgiving, if you find yourself able to share some of your good fortune, please consider helping them with their mission.
Their website is here.
Happy Thanksgiving to all from Reynolds Buick GMC.
Compared to most other concept cars that hit auto show floors, the GMC Granite actually has a relatively subdued look, with body lines and curves that we could realistically expect to see on a production model. Though it features a few unconventional pieces, such as suicide-style rear doors and almost unwieldy large wheels, the rest of the car appears to be relatively standard GMC fare, albeit with a more modern and contemporary twist.
Buick’s numbers were, in large part, a result of the overwhelmingly positive response to the 2010 LaCrosse. The LaCrosse alone was responsible for nearly 5,400 sales, although the Enclave followed closely behind with a total of 4,561 units sold. The Lucerne and Regal rounded out the lineup, with figures of 2,875 and 321 respectively.
That one would be surprised to hear that a Buick has made its rounds along the Nordcschleife’s 73 turns would be understandable. Although Buick has a long racing history marked by high performance cars, most recently the GNX, the brand has spent the better part of the last two decades building a reputation based more on comfort and convenience than high-revving engines and screeching tires.
It likely goes without saying that, despite almost unanimous praise from the auto industry as of late, the Buick nameplate itself still remains somewhat problematic, especially as discussed by consumers. Although the brand has long been synonymous with American built luxury and class, it’s pretty evident that there are a number of people with dissenting opinions. What Buick (and we, as a dealership proud to sell its vehicles) is hoping is that, in an age where public opinion has largely and understandably turned on large corporate entities who are all too willing to sacrifice what’s best for their customers just to make an extra dollar or two, this transparency will show that Buick has absolutely nothing to hide.
