The BDC & ThE 2011 Sorento

Today is Thursday, so as promised, I am posting an article about one of our top-sellers!

The Sorento is easily one of our family members' favorite cars. Our general manager, Melanie Lee swears by hers. I am glad that Car and Driver agrees!


2011 Kia Sorento - Second Drive - Auto Reviews - Car and Driver

Not only are we glad to have such a great vehicle on our lot, but here at Kia Autosport of Tallahassee, we are also glad to have such a great Internet Department!

When I first started working here, I kept hearing "BDC", "BDC". All I could think was "WHAT IS THE BDC & WHAT DO THEY DO??" So 6 months later, I finally decided to get an indepth definition of who they are! To all of my loyal readers, I'd like to introduce you to some of our most important family members...

"Hello, I'm Cindy, the BDC Supervisor. As a part of the BDC, I can say that we greatly appreciate your business, and we try to go above and beyond expectations when assisting our customers. When recomending a car, I always go to the 2011 Forte Koup. It is,in my own opinion, our most sporty and attractive car!"

"My name is Monica, and as a part of the Kia AutoSport family for over three years, we aim to provide customers with the information they need to make an informed buying decision. A year and half ago, I purchased my very own Kia Sorento. Being a previous Volvo, Honda, Isuzu and Toyota owner I can vow Kia is hands down the best vehicle on the market for the quality of vehicle you receive for an un-beatable price. The safety, comfort, performance and handling my Sorento offers is unlike any vehicle I have driven and has always guaranteed I arrivesafe and sound for my long 500miles drive home to visit my family. Kia AutoSport’s service team makes sure my Sorento is in tip-top shape to assure the maximal performance from my vehicle. The new 2011 Sorentos are so stunning; I may have to get in on the incredible lease programs we are offering right now. Call me, Monica Garcia, to find out how you can take advantage of this and many more offers and become a satisfied Kia owner just like me! Se habla Espanol =)”

The 2011 Kia Optima is here!!!!

Talk about a change...the 2011 Kia Optima has quickly become one of our favorite vehicles around the dealership. For those who have driven it, no one can deny the amount of horse power this model pocesses. I found a review in the LA Times, and I do not know if I agree with their assessment of the seat cushions, but I wanted to share a review.

Stay tuned for next week, there will be a guest blogger who shares their experience with the 2011 Kia Optima.

Kia Autosport Supports The Fight Against Breast Cancer

In 2009, an estimated 192,370 women in the United States were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and about 40,610 women were expected to die from the disease.

Breast Cancer is a disease that Kia Autosport is dedicated to fighting. We, as a family, are showing our support in several ways. I urge all of our dedicated readers to take a second and join us however you can.

All of our employees are wearing pink ribbons in an effort to show our support in the smallest way, but we know there is so much more we are capable of doing...

For the entire month of October, Kia Autosport will donate $50.00 to the American Cancer Society for every new or used Kia sold. Our goal is to sell 100 cars and write a check for $5,000! Melanie has informed me that when we make that goal, we will DOUBLE the amount. LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

We are partnering with Cumulus Broadcasting all month to fight breast cancer. We are hosting an event on October 23rd that we hope to see everyone at! I'll blog again with more details on how to get involved, so i hope to see all of our family members there. Rumor has it, we'll have some goodies to give away!

Breast Cancer has effected all of us in some way, so for that reason, Kia Autosport knows just how important this fight is. We'd love to see ya'll help too!

And remember, breast cancer does not just affect women; In 2009, about 1,910 men in the United States were diagnosed with breast cancer. If this is not a worthy cause, I do not know what is!

Slackin' off...

So, I have to apologize. I have been slacking off in the blogging department!

Theres been a lot going on recently, so I wanted to post a bit of a sneak peak on things to come.

We've been doing employee interviews on the Flip Cam; its been an interesting experience getting to know all the people around the dealership. We have some hillarious staff members who are so dedicated to our customers...its been such a pleasure to interview and film them. A few of the videos are already up on facebook, so if you're a fan of our page (and you should be if you're not!) check them out.

We are gearing up for Seminole football! Incase you did not know; Melanie Lee, our GM, is a HUGE football fan. For the first time ever, we are pairing up with ISP Sports for their blockparty. Make sure to come by and see us; I'm working on getting some goodies to give out!

We are already thinking of basketball season; we are working on our ad for the 2010-2011 season. I've got to admit that I am alittle stumped. Any ideas?

Last but not least, Bubba lost a bet:

The Newest Member of the KIA AutoSport Family.

Little Soul is the newest member of our family here at KIA AutoSport. Little Soul is a hamster with some attitude just like the newest addition to our product line up the all new 2010 KIA Soul.

If you have seen the new KIA ad on television you can understand why we felt compelled to make this addition to our family. Visit the YouTube link on our website to check out the ad if you haven't seen the head bobbing hamsters.

Little Soul lives in a very stylish habitat in our showroom. In addition to his habitat we also have a hamster track where you will often find him speeding around on in his yellow hamster vehicle for some exercise. You can often find Little Soul speeding around the office in his vehicle.

We invite everyone to visit Little Soul while visiting our dealership. Little Soul will be here like we are 7 days a week!
