  • The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0: America’S Car Dealers Prepare for Change
    The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0: America’s Car Dealers Prepare for Change February 2020 An independent study by Glenn Mercer Prepared for the National Automobile Dealers Association The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0 America’s Car Dealers Prepare for Change by Glenn Mercer Introduction This report is a sequel to the original Dealership of Tomorrow: 2025 (DOT) report, issued by NADA in January 2017. The original report was commissioned by NADA in order to provide its dealer members (the franchised new-car dealers of America) perspectives on the changing automotive retailing environment. The 2017 report was intended to offer “thought starters” to assist dealers in engaging in strategic planning, looking ahead to roughly 2025.1 In early 2019 NADA determined it was time to update the report, as the environment was continuing to shift. The present document is that update: It represents the findings of new work conducted between May and December of 2019. As about two and a half years have passed since the original DOT, focused on 2025, was issued, this update looks somewhat further out, to the late 2020s. Disclaimers As before, we need to make a few things clear at the outset: 1. In every case we have tried to link our forecast to specific implications for dealers. There is much to be said about the impact of things like electric vehicles and connected cars on society, congestion, the economy, etc. But these impacts lie far beyond the scope of this report, which in its focus on dealerships is already significant in size. Readers are encouraged to turn to academic, consulting, governmental and NGO reports for discussion of these broader issues.

  • Bmw Alpina B6 Coupé & Convertible
    BMW ALPINA B6 COUPÉ & CONVERTIBLE MANUFACTURER OF EXCLUSIVE AUTOMOBILES GRAND TOURERS... ...have a long tradition at ALPINA. It began with the legendary BMW ALPINA 3.0 CSL lightweight Coupé in the early 1970s, a car that caused a great furore, both as a race car and a road car. It was with this car that ALPINA won the European Touring Car Championship in 1973 and 1977.
