Gurpreet Kandola Sales
Gurpreet is one of our favorite people down here at the dealership. His personality is a perfect mix of professionalism and high-energy! A little known fact about Gurp (I guess it’s out there now) is that he spends his spare time as part of a “bhangra” dance troupe. Next time you’re in for a visit, ask him to show you his moves. When you ask Gurp what his favorite part of the business is he tells you “it’s my customers, when they come back and tell me that I have done a good job I feel proud of what I’ve done”. We think that’s what “building customers for life” is all about.

Fisker Karma is the latest addition to the growing list of new vehicles available in B.C. that qualify under the Clean Energy Vehicle (CEV) Point of Sale Incentive Program. The Karma, a battery electric vehicle with extended range, qualifies for a discount of up to $5,000 off the pre-tax sticker price when purchased or leased at a new car dealer in B.C. Its addition brings to 16 the number of vehicles now qualifying under the program, which kicked off Dec. 1. “The addition of the Fisker name to our list of qualifying vehicles is great news for consumers here in B.C.,” says Blair Qualey, President and CEO of the New Car Dealers Association of BC. “The CEV for BC program is here to make a significant contribution to the greening of the provincial economy and we’re excited to be able to make new clean energy technology more accessible to those looking to purchase or lease a new vehicle.” Fisker Automotive is an American auto manufacturer, founded in 2007, that produces luxury Electric Vehicles with extended range (EVer). EVer is Fisker’s proprietary plug-in hybrid electric powertrain, which consists of an efficient gasoline engine, an electric generator, a Lithium-ion battery pack, and two electric motors at the rear wheels. For the Karma sedan, charging a fully depleted battery requires approximately six hours using a 220V/40A outlet (standard in Europe and widely available in homes in Canada and the U.S for electrical appliances) or approximately 14 hours using a standard Canadian household 110V outlet. An initiative of the BC Ministry of Environment, LiveSmart BC in partnership with the New Car Dealers Association of B.C., the CEV Incentive Program is accessible through 199 participating new car dealers across the province and aims to encourage and accelerate the sale of clean energy vehicles and technology innovation within B.C.

Subaru Canada earns Best Mainstream Brand for third year Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
Subaru Canada has received four Canadian Residual Value Awards from automotive insights company ALG.
Subaru Canada has announced it has received four Canadian Residual Value Awards from automotive insights company ALG, the industry benchmark for residual values. In addition to receiving best-in-class honours for the 2012 Impreza, Outback and WRX/STI, Subaru has been named Best Mainstream Brand for the third year in a row. The annual ALG Residual Value Awards recognize automakers’ outstanding achievements in producing vehicles that demonstrate the ability to retain the highest percentage of their original price after a four-year period for mainstream brands and a three-year period for luxury brands. Awards are given in 19 vehicle categories and also in two brand categories (mainstream and luxury). This year’s awards are based on 2012 model year vehicles.
In addition to overall honours as the Best Mainstream Brand, three Subaru vehicles won their individual categories: Compact Car Award: the Subaru Impreza. According to ALG, the new Impreza offers compelling value for the Canadian market, offering All-Wheel Drive in a segment where price is usually a large consideration. Midsize Utility Vehicle Award: the Subaru Outback. For the second consecutive year, Outback claims the midsize utility vehicle award. Sporty Car Award: the Subaru WRX/WRX STI. This is the fourth year the WRX and STI have claimed top honours in the Sporty category. Award winners are determined through careful study of the competition in each segment, historical vehicle performance, industry trends and economic conditions. Vehicle quality, production levels relative to demand, and pricing and marketing strategies remain the key factors that impact ALG’s residual value forecasts.
Hyundai Elantra named 2012 Canadian Car of The Year Metroland Media Carguide Magazine

is vindication for all the effort Hyundai designers and engineers invested into the project.” Hyundai won three out of the 11 “Best New” categories when announced in October 2011. All “Best New” category winners are eligible to compete for the overall crown of either the “Canadian Car of the Year” or the “Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year.” The Hyundai Elantra was also the winner in the “Best New Small Car over $21,000” class.nd values of the specific brand.

Kia unveiled the Optima Toronto FC Special Edition at the recent Toronto Auto Show
Kia Canada reveals Toronto FC Special Edition Kia Optima Turbo SX at the Canadian International Auto Show that embodies the two organizations’ similar goal of competing to win. Kia Canada Inc. is the official vehicle sponsor of all three Canadian Major League Soccer (MLS) teams. In addition to Toronto FC, Kia Canada is also partnered with the Vancouver Whitecaps and most recently, the Montreal Impact. The Optima TFC Special Edition vehicle will be present at select 2012 Toronto FC home games at BMO Field and will also be used at a variety of promotional events and venues throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
The award-winning 2012 Kia Optima premiered a one-of-a-kind vehicle at the 2012 Canadian International Auto Show with the unveiling of the Toronto FC Special Edition vehicle. Toronto FC alumni pulled the silk off the special edition Optima that will catch the eye of both soccer fans and car enthusiasts at the 2012 Toronto Auto Show. In a collaborative effort between Kia Canada and the Toronto FC, the vehicle exudes an athletic design
Kate Wells I drive my son to and from Happy Valley Elementary and every day I witness drivers speeding through the clearly marked school zone, some even texting or talking on their cell phone. I am often tailgated when I travel at the proper speed limit – 30 km/h between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days. These drivers often seem so impatient with me too, as I drive according to the law! Perhaps these drivers are unaware of the rules of the road surrounding school zones or maybe they don’t know that child pedestrian crashes are the leading cause of injury-related death for Canadian children under the age of 14. Chances are they know both, but continue to drive aggressively and without regard for our most vulnerable pedestrians. Research states that a child hit by a car travelling at least 50 km/h has an 80 per cent chance of being killed. However if a child is hit by a car travelling at 30 km/h, they have up to a 95 per cent chance of survival. That’s a drastic difference! Today I heard Victoria Police pulled
over a driver travelling through a school zone at 80 km/h! The driver had her vehicle impounded and was issued a $368 speeding ticket. Maybe this driver should also be forced to re-take the learner’s test so at the very least she can re-learn her road signs! Schools are busy locations. Children often dart from between parked cars and are not aware of the dangers vehicles pose. Crossing guards do a great job of keeping our children safe – thank you! – and a big thanks as well to the community police who sit outside designated areas, often school zones, monitoring people’s speed. A school zone sign that has a posted speed limit beneath it means you MUST travel at that speed from the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days. If there’s a sign that does not have at posted speed limit, you must reduce your speed when children are present – between the same hours and again, on school days only. Take a moment, visit icbc.com and see which road signs you know and which you don’t. Refresh your skills to be a better driver. And slow down in school zones!
Winter Hornets take on Enduro challenge The weather held off for Sunday’s Winter Hornets Enduro Race, as competitors took on the challenge of 200 laps or two hours – whichever comes first. Darren Yates took the checkered flag,

Accordingly, the AJAC journalists selected the winner based on a combination of aesthetics, function and brand essence. The aesthetics component reflects the sheer beauty of the design. The function component assesses the manner and degree to which it accommodates the practical requirements of the vehicle type. And brand essence considers its success in conveying the image, heritage and values of the specific brand.

2012 CBB Retained Value Awards were in the following categories: • Full-size car: Toyota Avalon • Luxury car: Lexus GS series • Premium luxury car: Lexus LS series • Small pickup: Toyota Tacoma • Full-size pickup: Toyota Tundra • Mid-size SUV: Toyota FJ Cruiser • Full-size SUV: Toyota Sequoia The Toyota Avalon, Lexus LS series,
Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra Toyota FJ Cruiser and Toyota Sequoia each won as well in 2011. This year, the award examines 2008 models, and winners have been chosen in 17 segments. The awards are determined from actual value retained from MSRP, measured over a four-year period. CBB initiated the awards to help consumers identify which vehicles
retain the highest percentage of their original value. 8Although strong retained value performance is not a guarantee of future strength, it is a strong indicator for how a vehicle should perform in the future. For the consumer, selecting a vehicle with a lower depreciation rate will reduce their overall cost of ownership.

Infiniti Canada accepts fourth consecutive luxury brand residual value award Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
The Volkswagen Touareg TDI Clean Diesel was named 2012’s Utility Vehicle of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada.
Infiniti Canada has received three ALG Residual Value Awards including its fourth consecutive Best Luxury Brand award. For the second year in a row, ALG named the Infiniti QX56 Luxury Full-size Utility award recipient, while the EX35 received the award for best Luxury Compact Utility. “Delivering inspired products that are best-in-class is what Infiniti is all about and recognition by ALG as Best Luxury Brand four years in a row is a testament to this,”
AJAC Honours VW Touareg TDI as Utility Vehicle of the Year Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
The Automobile Journalists Association of Canada declared the Volkswagen Touareg TDI Clean Diesel the 2012 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year. “Winning this award is a tremendous honour, said John White, President of Volkswagen Canada. “The Volkswagen Touareg is extremely capable both on and
off road, and surrounds its passengers in comfort and luxury. We are very pleased to be recognized for all of the hard work our engineers and designers have put in.” It also won the “Best New SUV/CUV ($35,000 to $60,000)” class when the category winners were announced in October 2011. All “Best New” category winners are eligible to compete for the overall crown of either the “Canadian Car of the Year” or “Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year.”
