Chevy Mixes Soccer with Spark Plugs as Manchester United’s Official Auto Partner

Soccer and Chevy fans are about to unite as the automaker announced its plans to sponsor Manchester United, one of the most renowned soccer clubs in the sport. Hoping to expand its global reach, Chevy teamed up with Manchester United, which has one of the largest fan bases worldwide. Our team at GOAutoPlus.com, a trusted resource for Chevy dealers in Wisconsin, looks forward to seeing what the sponsorship brings for Chevy and Manchester United.

As one of the world’s most significant carmakers, Chevy is in a position to expand its presence even further. After announcing that it would not promote its vehicles through Super Bowl ads, the automaker felt it was a smarter, more economical move to partner with the 19-time English soccer winner.

The automaker has signed up for a five-year sponsorship with the soccer club, which could extend longer if both groups see success as a result. With some of the most enthusiastic fans of any athletic team, Manchester United has the opportunity introduce a new, expansive target audience for Chevy.

General Motors representatives have expressed Chevy’s commitment to keeping the soccer club’s supporters in the core of their partnership. Over a span of five years, the team has seen its fan base double. With approximately 659 million fans across the globe, Manchester United has become an icon in the soccer world.

Advertising marked with Chevy’s logo will be shown in the club’s stadium, seats designed specifically for spectators and global marketing overall. The partnership also extends into the development of the Chevrolet China Cup, which will be a part of the club’s 2012 tour. With an increasingly large fan base in Asia, Manchester United and Chevrolet wanted to appeal to their loyal global supporters.

We anticipate the results of the Chevy-Manchester United partnership. At GOAutoPlus.com we offer several new and used cars in Wisconsin as well as a variety of Chevy vehicles in Wisconsin.

Alabama Gets Over 900 Jobs with Hyundai Sonata, Elantra Production

Hyundai recently announced its plans to add a third shift at the Montgomery, AL plant in order to produce additional fleets of Sonata midsize vehicles and Elantra compact cars. Adding another shift to the plant will allow the company to hire around 877 more team members. Our GOAutoPlus.com team awaits new developments for the automaker and looks forward to offering more new and used Hyundai in Wisconsin.

Hyundai explained that it plans to hire more people and create additional jobs this summer. The plant will start to transition in September to make room for the latest shift. Adding the third shift to the Alabama plant will present the automaker with an opportunity to launch over 20,000 more vehicles in 2012.

More Hyundai dealers across the U.S. will be able to expand their inventories. The automaker decided to produce the Sonata and Elantra because they are Hyundai’s most popular vehicles and most widely sold cars in the U.S. In the first part of the year, the automaker sold upwards of 55,000 Sonatas and 44,000 Elantras. Sales were up 6 percent and 8 percent from the previous year, respectively.

Although the automaker looks forward to adding more cars to its inventory, Alabama looks forward to the added employment it will see in the early fall. Hyundai needs to meet its increasing consumer demands and presented Montgomery with an opportunity to create several new jobs for its citizens.

The automaker has struggled to keep up with the continuous demand for its vehicles, and is now taking an opportunity to build cars in the country that demands them the most. Hyundai’s sales are reportedly up by 15 percent since March, and it anticipates that number will continue to grow with additional production.

We pride ourselves on the ability to offer a variety of vehicles in Wisconsin, and GOAutoPlus.com is happy to be a premier resource for Hyundai dealers in Wisconsin.

MINI Reveals John Cooper Works GP Special Edition Concept

A brand new generation of the MINI John Cooper Works GP special edition is in the works, according to MINI. The special edition model is scheduled to go on sale in the latter part of this year with the luxurious amenities MINI is known to offer. We are always looking forward to the latest models here at GOAutoPlus.com, a trusted resource for MINI dealers in Wisconsin.

Reports are showing that the MINI special edition will be the fastest MINI ever developed. Only 2,000 models of the vehicle will be produced, increasing the desire and interest in the special edition. Many improvements will be made to the MINI, showing its evolution from the 2006 version of the car.

Larger, more athletic features will show off the MINI’s aggressive stance and performance. The car will be marked with the standout ‘GP’ logo, and attention-getting body graphics will take the MINI even further than its predecessor. Built for adventurers rather than large families, the MINI only has two seats. The driver and his or her passenger will have the front seat to one invigorating ride.

As the fastest MINI ever designed, the MINI is expected to surpass its previous 211 horsepower capability. Although engine specifications have yet to be released, the automaker predicts that the MINI could deliver over 220 horsepower.

Athleticism will be one of the vehicle’s main talking points. Race-like suspension and fine-tuned handling will turn car enthusiasts’ heads. The MINI will be flexible and agile, and will handle with precision unseen in previous models. Other performance details will be unveiled closer to the MINI’s launch date.
