SUBARU The family business that service built akville's m ost prom inent autom otive family is growing again. The Budds' family is pleased to a n n o u n c e th e a d d itio n o f Subaru to th eir e x te n siv e lin e u p o f fu ll se rv ice p rem iu m automobile dealerships. Chris B udd o n e o f the ow ners o f B u d d s' Subaru said, "The addition of Subaru fits in very well with the oth er prem ium brands we carry (Saturn, Saab, Isuzu, BMW, Jaguar, Mini and Land Rover). We carried the Subaru franchise for 9 years up u ntil 1994, its nice to have it back where it belongs". Over the past few years Subaru's sales volume has grown exponentially, due in large part | J to the growing consumer demand for crossover vehicles (dual purpose vehicles like the re-designed Forester and the all new Baja) as well as a consumer affinity for All-Wheel Drive which is driven by their desire for performance and safety. Alex Harkins, General Manager o f B udds' Subaru says "Subaru historically has been a niche marketer going after a specific segm ent o f the automotive market (All-Wheel Drive), however over the past few years we have seen a shift in co n su m e r th in k in g and now it seem s like everyone wants an AWD vehicle. As a matter o f fact over the next 2 years over 40% o f new entries in the market are going to be a version of (AWD). H ow ever we are fin d in g that a lo t o f the consum ers are com ing in somewhat confused, with the perception that all o f the AWD systems are the same, but that's not the case. Most o f the AWT) or 4WD vehicles on the market are either front wheel drive or rear wheel drive vehicles with some modifications made to allow the transfer of some of the power to the other wheels. Subaru is actually celebrating 30 years o f All-Wheel Drive this year. Each and every vehicle we sell has been designed and built around our All-Wheel Drive system: the customers will definitely notice the difference in the handling and performance vs. some of the other vehicles on the market."

That is the simple philosophy that Mr. Budd passed on to his 3 sons (Darryl, Terry and Chris) and that's the culture that remains evident in all o f their dealerships today, nearly 30 years after they opened their first store on Speers Rd. "We're all aware o f the perception the general public have about "car salespeople" and the process involved in sh o p p in g for a v eh ic le, it 's a w fu l," says A lex Harkins. "Long gon e are the days o f trying to "control the customer" we're in the information age and today's consumer is much more educated and a lo t less to lera n t o f the "g a m es" som e dealerships still play." "True to the Budd p h ilo so p h y our m ain concern is to understand the expectation and needs o f our customers and our best to exceed them every time. We d on 't play games with our customers, who has the time? We move at whatever pace our customers feel comfortable and ensure they get what they come in for.
