Salt Lake Tribune - Mark Miller acquires Sandy Subaru dealership



Times still may be tough for the country's automobile industry as it battles through the economic downturn but one Utah dealer is looking toward the bright side and expanding his operations rather than retrenching.

Mark Miller, perhaps best known for the Toyota dealership in downtown Salt Lake City bearing his name, has purchased the Larry H. Miller Subaru dealership in Sandy. The acquisition brings to four the number of locations operated under the Mark Miller name.

"Although we already have a Subaru store [in South Salt Lake], we plan to operate our new Sandy dealership as a completely separate operation with its own general manager, sales and service staffs," Miller said.

After months of roller coaster-like results, the industry in the view of many earlier this month began to show signs of a recovery, with automakers reporting higher levels of U.S. sales.

And the biggest winner was the Japanese automaker Subaru, which saw a 41 percent surge in sales during the month, thanks to exceptionally strong demand for its Outback and Forester models.

"Subaru is the number two-selling car in the Salt Lake City market," Miller said, indicating his South Salt Lake Subaru store is on track for a normal sales year despite the industry's hard times.

2010 Outback wins Motor Trend SUV of the Year award



Subaru has just done what no other automaker has ever done, win back to back Motor Trend SUV of the Year awards.

MOTOR TREND editor-in-chief, Angus MacKenzie, said, "The 2010 Subaru Outback offers a unique combination of comfort, efficiency, versatility and value. It boasts car-like refinement, drivability and gas mileage on the road, yet is as capable in the rough stuff as all but the most off-road focused sport utilities. Thoughtfully engineered, cleverly detailed and competitively priced, the Subaru Outback is a terrific all-rounder with broad appeal."

The judgment criteria expanded to six categories.
-- Design Advancement - well-executed exterior and interior styling;
innovative vehicle packaging; good selection and use of materials.
-- Engineering Excellence - total vehicle concept and execution; clever
solutions to packaging, manufacturing and dynamics issues;
cost-effective tech that benefits the consumer.
-- Intended Function - how well the vehicle does the job its planners,
designers, and engineers intended it to do.
-- Efficiency - low fuel consumption and carbon footprint, relative to
the vehicle's competitive set.
-- Safety - a vehicle's ability to help the driver avoid a crash, as well
as the secondary safety measures that protect its occupants from harm
during a crash.
-- Value - competitive price and equipment levels, measured against those
of vehicles in the same market segment.

Living up to Subaru's legendary safety record, the Outback offers cutting-edge safety technology, including Subaru's ring reinforcement safety system, front, seat-mounted side, and side-curtain airbags and ABS. Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system, which incorporates stability and traction control systems with a roll-over sensor, is also standard equipment.

The Subaru Outback was recently named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS).

2010 Subaru Legacy Reviews


While we are waiting for the first 2010 Legacy to hit our showroom floor, let's take a look at what some of the industry experts have to say about the car.

TheCarConnection said: "It proved difficult to find anything but a few minor issues with the new 2010 Legacy."

Car and Driver put it this way: "Subaru has created a larger, more competitive-and still fun to drive-Legacy that has a base price lower than that of the current class favorite. Doesn't really sound like much of a sacrifice anymore, does it?"

Autoblog said of the design: "it finally seems to be seeking out its mojo once again with this new Legacy. "

We don't want to have all the fun now, so here's the full list of reviews, check them out for yourself!

Ready to safeguard our natural environment


At Subaru, protecting the environment is just as important as protecting our passengers. That's why we build fuel-efficient vehicles in ecologically-minded plants. Together, with our earth-friendly partners, we are dedicated to preserving our planet. It's an integral part of our philosophy. It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

You can do your part 
There are a few simple tips to help boost your MPG's, and help be green while saving some green

Drive Sensibly
Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.

Observe the Speed Limit
While each vehicle reaches it's optimal fuel economy at a different speed, gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas.

Remove Excess Weight
Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your car, especially have ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2%.

Avoid Excessive Idling
Idling gets 0 MPG. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas then cars with smaller engines.

Use Cruise Control
Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.

KEEPING YOUR CAR IN SHAPE
Keep your engine properly tuned. Fuel economy benefit: 4% Equivalent gasoline savings: $0.11/gallon
Check and replace air filters regularly. Fuel economy benefit: up to 10% Equivalent gasoline savings: up to $0.28/gallon
Keep tires properly inflated. Fuel economy benefit: up to 3% Equivalent gasoline savings: up to $0.08/gallon
- Use the recommended grade of motor oil. Fuel economy benefit: 1-2% Equivalent gasoline savings: $0.03-$0.06/gallon
