Greece Autos Report Q2 2011: New research report available at Fast Market Research

PRLog (Press Release)– Apr 16, 2011– BMI expects little respite for the Greek automotive market despite the introduction of the vehicle scrappage scheme on February 21 2011. While the government is hoping that the measure will boost its tax revenues, BMI believes the scheme may prove to be ineffective as Greece's high level of taxation on the purchase of new cars and high ownership costs are likely to deter consumers from buying new vehicles this year.

BMI, accordingly, maintains its forecast for passenger car sales of nearly 135,000 units in 2011. Weakening business confidence will mean that commercial vehicle sales on the other hand are expected to fall at least 5.5% y-o-y this year. The net result will be nearly a 5% y-o-y drop, to just under 147,500 units, in total vehicle sales this year.

Giv acura en Greece's deteriorating economic fundamentals and broader risk profile, the private sector is set to face higher borrowing costs over the medium term, which will further dampen growth in new vehicle sales. BMI does not expect to see a recovery in sales to pre-economic levels during our forecast period to 2015. Vehicle sales growth is likely to be slow, averaging 2.2% y-o-y between 2012 and 2015, with 160,800 units shifted in 2015.

Despite the depressed demand, some carmakers increased their market share dodge during 2010. Toyota Motor per chevrolet formed relativel buick y well, improving its share in both the passenger car and commercial vehicle segments.

We expect the auto industry in Greece (along with the Baltic States) to be a significant underperformer in Europe, thanks to widespread household and businesses retrenchment, a near 20% unemployment rate and weak corporate profitability. Placed second from bottom in BMI's Risk/Reward Ratings for the auto industry in Europe, Greece not only suffers from poor scores in the auto market, but also in terms of its country risk score. Furthermore, we see little likelihood of it gaining a production facility in the near future.

Automotive Internet Sales on the Rise?

PRLog (Press Release)– Apr 15, 2011– My car of interest was a 2011 Cruze. It's a fairly new vehicle and I don't know of any friends or family members with one so I headed to the Internet and that's where my fun began,

Just for fun, I googled 2011 Chevy Cruze and ended up clicking auto part on a link that took me to a GM website. I looked it over and I was pret dodge ty impressed but those sites are to sell the sizzle, I wanted reviews from owners and other poeple like myself.... shoppers. I went to many websites such as, Edmunds.com, Cars.com, KBB.com. Chevrolet.com and Youtube.

From there I found review after review, videos, specs, trim levels, available options and pricing, You name it and it was online and available. Forget the aggressive sales approach from a sales staff or sales manager. The internet made my experience very beneficial and rewarding. I knew what I wanted and how much I was going to spend, I just have to find a dealershp and one that will treat me how I want to be treated.

Again, I found myself online typing in Google.com. I Googled "The Best Chevy Quote" and as always a bunch of links and ads appear. I skimmed through them and came across a few dealerships. I click on all the ones within 50 mile radius of where I live. In my county, there are many dealers. I visited about 5 dealer websites and requested a qoute for a new 2011 Chevrolet Cruze from each one.

To my surprise, 4 out of 5 responded, 2 out of those 4 were an automatic response and the other 2 came from a real person. But, only 1 out of those 2 gave me what I ask for. The other dealershp kept pounding me to come in so that they have give me accurate figures. Well, I said I wanted a 2011 Chevy Cruze LS and that I was paying cash and qualified for the GM discount. Pretty simple rig ferrari ht? I thought so too. Everything was pretty simple until it was time to deal with the dealerships. However, I did have a great response from 1 dealer - Hank Graff Chevrolet in Davison MI.

Hank Graff Chevrolet's response included my quote as requested, along with some tools to help me make my decision. Hank Graff's quote was personal, quick and included all fee's associated with my purchase. Not only that, but they guaranteed that this would be the price for my car if I walked in any day that month and dealt with anyone who greeted me.  Of course this intrigued me, I spent the next couple days emailing Graff's Internet manager Aaron Erway and decided to stop in to take my test drive. Mr. Erway was correct, when the figures were presented to me, they matched my emails just as he mentioned.

Long story short, buying online is the way to go. No pressure, no hassle and I felt like I was in the driver seat. All the researching and homework portion was easy but the buick online experience would be much better if every dealershp conducted their online business the way Hank Graff Chevrolet in Davison MI. By the way,

P.S. I did buy my Cruze and I'm loving it!
