The 2008 AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Award
AutoPacific Announces
2008 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards
The 2008 AutoPacific Vehicle
Satisfaction Award
General Motors vehicles are top ranked in 11 of the 28 categories in AutoPacific's 2008 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA). Just as significantly, the Cadillac brand takes the top spot among all brands sold in the USA.
AutoPacific's VSA's are very different from other automotive awards that concentrate on reliability or quality. AutoPacific measures owner satisfaction. Unlike many enthusiast or consumer magazines, AutoPacific's VSA's are strictly given by the data collected from thousands of new car and light truck buyers. Owner satisfaction is measured across 46 specific areas related to a vehicle's operation, comfort, safety and the overall purchase/lease experience. The 2008 ratings reflect input from buyers and leasees of new vehicles acquired between September through December 2007.

Excerpts from a letter from GM to GM Dealers
Dear GM Dealer:
Earth Day -- It's a learning process.
From its humble beginnings 28 years ago. Earth Day has been about awareness and action -- education and initiative. As we celebrate Earth Day April 22....
"From Gas Friendly to Gas Free"
We are doing quite a bit to reduce our impact, but some of our most visible efforts are sitting on your showroom floor today. From FlexFuel, to improving fuel efficiency with Active Fuel Management, to the latest in Hybrid Technology -- the vehicle in your store are the most visible demonstration of our commitment to meeting our environmental responsibilities with the products customers want.
In the spirit of learning more , here are a few points that you may not know about GM's environmental activities at our facilities:
GM's Lansing Delta Township plant is the worlds first - and most complex - manufacturing facility to be LEED certified. Two of our facilities in California are generating close to two megawatts of solar power -- so much that we're selling excess back to the grid. We've cut our CO2 emissions by 22 percent in six years and water consumption 15 percent. Our facilities recycle 89 percent of their waste, and 14 facilities have achieved zero landfill status.
So, from our plants, to our vehicles, to your showroom floor, GM is demonstrating our environmental learnings every day.

Dear Steve,
I'm writing to inform you that our experience in buying our new Lucerne was exceptional. Ryan Brewer was most personable and enjoyable to work with and we feel that he personifies a salesman who cares and who will continue to insure that we remain happy. He took care to answer all of our questions and concerns. His friendliness and sense of humor made the dreaded car buying experience a good one.
That has not always been the case, as you know. We are happy that we had the good fortune of connecting with Ryan and so....just wanted you to know!
Sincerely,
Carol

Hi Ryan,
Jim and I would like to say how you made buying a car a pleasure and not in the least stressful. It is nice to meet someone who says something and keeps his word. This is the first time that we have bought a car from Don Lorenz, but it will not be the last time. The Sebring has put the fun back in driving.
Regards,
Sandy
