On June 5, 2014 Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors, addressed an audience of over 1,000 GM Employees during a “Global Town Hall Meeting” at it’s Warren Technical Center to provide an update on the GM Ignition Switch Recall.

If you’ve been listening to 102.9 W4 Country lately, you may have heard that mid-day show host, Lori Rigato, is driving around town in a 2014 Buick Encore courtesy of LaFontaine Buick GMC of Ann Arbor.
I just talked to Lori during our Kiss The Car event, and she’s definitely enjoying what the Encore has to offer in a compact SUV.
Now before I get into the exciting plans we have for a new video series, I need to be 100% transparent with you and disclose a few details of this partnership.
Once known for being the car your grandfather drove, Buick has been making bold statements lately with their design, technology, safety and overall luxury (you know, things that people of all ages can appreciate)
We’ve seen it here in the dealership ever since the redesigned Buick LaCrosse hit our showroom in 2010 and since then, Buick has been putting out vehicle after vehicle that is setting a new standard for affordable luxury.
From the Regal and Verano to the Enclave and Encore – Buick now boasts an all-star, luxury lineup.
Obviously we’re a little bit biased having Buick Dealerships in Ann Arbor and Highland (and for full disclosure, I drive a Buick Verano myself).
So don’t take my word for it, take the word of one of the most respected 3rd party names in the automotive retail industry – Kelley Blue Book.
These awards are based on KBB’s analysis of the 5-year ownership costs of all 2014 model-year vehicles available for sale in the United States. The analysis considers every key criterion that figures into the overall cost to obtain and operate a motor vehicle over a five-year period.
Included among the factors are financing costs, insurance costs and state fees plus the anticipated costs of fuel, scheduled maintenance and repairs. Also included are the critical factors of purchase price and projected depreciation.
Now that you know how each of the vehicles were graded, let’s take a look at the vehicles to see why and how they won a KBB.com 5-Year Cost To Own Award.
The most popular question our customers ask us is, “when will GM be offering another lease pull ahead?”. I’m happy to say that the answer to that question is “Right Now!“.
We’re jumping for joy because General Motors just announced their first Lease Pull Ahead program for 2014 and it’s running now until the end of February.
I know what you’re thinking…you want to know if you and your vehicle qualify for this program. Great question, we’ll answer it below!
Do I Qualify For GM Lease Pull Ahead?
Getting out of your current lease early and into a new one will never be easier than it is right now.
If you currently lease an eligible Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac model that matures between now and June 30, 2014, you qualify for Lease Pull Ahead.
History was just made at LaFontaine Cadillac Buick GMC in Highland, Michigan – the kind of history that’s only been achieved by a select few in any field or industry.
The LaFontaine Family just announced to the team that our Cadillac, Buick & GMC franchises have each won the General Motors Dealer of the Year Award for an unprecedented 4th year in a row!
Ask any sports team that has ever won a championship how difficult it is to win another one the next year. They’ll all tell you it’s not easy and history has proven that point over and over again.
There’s only been a handful of teams ever to win the ultimate prize two or more times in a row and now you can add the team at LaFontaine Cadillac Buick GMC to that list.
General Motors only bestows their prestigious Dealer of the Year Award to the best dealerships. It’s not an easy award to win, as a dealership has to exceed all expectations in Sales, Service, Parts and most importantly – Customer Satisfaction.
The GM Dealer of the Year and Mark of Excellence Award
Winning this award 4 years in a row is a direct reflection of every single person who works at LaFontaine Cadillac Buick GMC. Without their hard work and dedication, these awards would never be won.
Even though we’re talking about dealership awards here and not sports championships, the winners must overcome common obstacles when the new year begins.
Once you’re on the top of your profession, the competition lines up to take their best shot at “the champ” in order to claim the title.
Also, there’s always the possibility of a “championship letdown” that can occur when a team starts believing their own hype and forgets to do all the little things that got them to the top in the first place.
And then there’s the simple fact that nothing lasts forever.
However, I will tell you the entire team at LaFontaine Cadillac Buick GMC has no plans to slow down anytime soon. We’re only half way though the first month of 2014, and the whole team here already has their sights set on winning the GM Dealer of the Year Award again for the 5th straight time.

This Fall, the LaFontaine Automotive Group is giving away five new cars to five lucky winners — truly making this a November To Remember.
