Subaru Sales Surge 56% in 2009

MANILA, Philippines -  Motor Image Pilipinas (MIP), the exclusive distributor of Subaru in the Philippines capped off 2009 with a total sales output of 942 units, marking a 56 percent growth in 2009. It also registered the biggest sales growth in the automotive industry last year based on the latest figures from the Chamber of the Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI). Subaru has been the fastest growing automotive brand in the country consistently increasing every year since it opened in 2006.

Motor Image Enterprises Group Chief Executive Glenn Tan attributes the growth to its strong model line-up and focus on customer expectations. He said, “Outperforming the other companies is not exactly our priority but rather as a result of our commitment to give our customers the newest models from Subaru. We have also focused on maintaining our high level of after sales support, from on time delivery and availability of genuine Subaru parts through world class and well-trained technicians.”

This year, the first Subaru dealership outside Metro Manila will open in Cebu. Located in the automotive row of A.S. Fortuna in Mandaue City, the new Subaru dealer aims to deliver the same level of high-quality brand new vehicles and world-class after sales support to the booming Visayas market. Motor Image is also set to open another dealership in Metro Manila within 2009 in its effort to further make its products more reachable and available to a wider market.

The Subaru Greenhills showroom and service center is located along EDSA, San Juan and is open from Monday to Sunday. A complete line-up of test drive vehicles is also available to all customers. For inquiries and test drive appointments, interested parties may call 727-8333. They may also visit the Motor Image Pilipinas website at www.motorimage.net.
