"DO GOOD, FEEL GOOD" TO HELP OUT OUR COMMUNITY

In honor of our new dealership in Sandy. Mark Miller Subaru is finding new ways to give back to our local community.

Mark Miller Subaru South Towne has partnered with eight local small non-profits to give back to the community. During the month of May, for our "DO GOOD FEEL GOOD" event, Mark Miller Subaru will be donating $100 per car sold to local small non-profits. Come down to Mark Miller Subaru South Towne and select your favorite local nonprofit when you purchase any new or pre-owned vehicle.

In addition, we will be offering special pricing when you mention the "DO GOOD, FEEL GOOD" event. Feel good knowing you are purchasing a car from a dealership that has the local community in mind.

This will be a huge fundraiser for our local nonprofits during these tough economic times

Mark Miller Subaru and Subaru of America, Inc. recognize the pet homelessness problem and want to help raise awareness for the issue and increase adoptions. As part of our "Do Good - Feel Good - Event" on Saturday May 8th 2010 from 12 - 5pm we will be hosting a Humane Society of Utah pet adoption day for our friends, customers, and potential adopters. It will be held at Mark Miller Subaru South Towne (10920 S State Street).

Adopting a pet feels good. And adopting a pet from the Humane Society of Utah feels even better. Because when you adopt one, you're really helping save thousands through behind-the-scene rehabilitation efforts, spay and neuter surgeries, food and shelter. Join us and the Humane Society in their mission to eliminate pain, fear, and suffering in all animals by adopting a new best friend.




According to Subaru, 7 in 10 Subaru owners also have a pet in their life. Genuine Subaru Accessory Dog Guard/Compartment Separators are available for Outback, Forester, and Tribeca. They help prevent pets and cargo from flying forward and injuring seated occupants in sudden stops. During our pet adoption day all Subaru pet accesories will be 10% Off.

And don't forget, Subaru is dog tested and dog approved.

What is the Mark Miller difference?

The wing is back! After a three year absence, Subaru is offering a four-door sedan version of the legendary performance icon, the WRX STI. This is the first time that Subaru has ever offered an STI in two body styles. So what do you like more, sedan or wagon?

Times still may be tough for the country's automobile industry as it battles through the economic downturn but one Utah dealer is looking toward the bright side and expanding his operations rather than retrenching.

Mark Miller, perhaps best known for the Toyota dealership in downtown Salt Lake City bearing his name, has purchased the Larry H. Miller Subaru dealership in Sandy. The acquisition brings to four the number of locations operated under the Mark Miller name.

"Although we already have a Subaru store [in South Salt Lake], we plan to operate our new Sandy dealership as a completely separate operation with its own general manager, sales and service staffs," Miller said.

After months of roller coaster-like results, the industry in the view of many earlier this month began to show signs of a recovery, with automakers reporting higher levels of U.S. sales.

And the biggest winner was the Japanese automaker Subaru, which saw a 41 percent surge in sales during the month, thanks to exceptionally strong demand for its Outback and Forester models.

"Subaru is the number two-selling car in the Salt Lake City market," Miller said, indicating his South Salt Lake Subaru store is on track for a normal sales year despite the industry's hard times.

Subaru has just done what no other automaker has ever done, win back to back Motor Trend SUV of the Year awards.

MOTOR TREND editor-in-chief, Angus MacKenzie, said, "The 2010 Subaru Outback offers a unique combination of comfort, efficiency, versatility and value. It boasts car-like refinement, drivability and gas mileage on the road, yet is as capable in the rough stuff as all but the most off-road focused sport utilities. Thoughtfully engineered, cleverly detailed and competitively priced, the Subaru Outback is a terrific all-rounder with broad appeal."

The judgment criteria expanded to six categories.
-- Design Advancement - well-executed exterior and interior styling;
innovative vehicle packaging; good selection and use of materials.
-- Engineering Excellence - total vehicle concept and execution; clever
solutions to packaging, manufacturing and dynamics issues;
cost-effective tech that benefits the consumer.
-- Intended Function - how well the vehicle does the job its planners,
designers, and engineers intended it to do.
-- Efficiency - low fuel consumption and carbon footprint, relative to
the vehicle's competitive set.
-- Safety - a vehicle's ability to help the driver avoid a crash, as well
as the secondary safety measures that protect its occupants from harm
during a crash.
-- Value - competitive price and equipment levels, measured against those
of vehicles in the same market segment.

Living up to Subaru's legendary safety record, the Outback offers cutting-edge safety technology, including Subaru's ring reinforcement safety system, front, seat-mounted side, and side-curtain airbags and ABS. Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system, which incorporates stability and traction control systems with a roll-over sensor, is also standard equipment.

The Subaru Outback was recently named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS).

While we are waiting for the first 2010 Legacy to hit our showroom floor, let's take a look at what some of the industry experts have to say about the car.

TheCarConnection said: "It proved difficult to find anything but a few minor issues with the new 2010 Legacy."

Car and Driver put it this way: "Subaru has created a larger, more competitive-and still fun to drive-Legacy that has a base price lower than that of the current class favorite. Doesn't really sound like much of a sacrifice anymore, does it?"

Autoblog said of the design: "it finally seems to be seeking out its mojo once again with this new Legacy. "

We don't want to have all the fun now, so here's the full list of reviews, check them out for yourself!

Attendance is free, but we are holding a canned food drive for the Utah Food Bank, so bring what you can and have a great time!

During the month of April, we tried something new. For every car we sold, we donated $150 to a local charity of the customer's choice. It was a huge success for everyone involved! We raised over $12,000 and made some new friends along the way. We could not have done this without our customers, and we thank them very much for their business!

The New York Auto Show is underway, and the 2010 Subaru Legacy has made it's first appearance.


The 2010 Legacy will feature some notable changes from the outgoing model, including a 6 speed manual transmission for the 2.5GT as well as a new 3.6 liter H6.



The new Legacy will be available at Mark Miller Subaru later in 2009. Check back often for details.

2008 was definitely a crazy year, while automakers across the board were facing slumping sales, dwindling profits and government bailouts, Subaru wasn't feeling the pinch.


In fact, Subaru was the only automaker to post a sales increase in 2008. Boosted by the redesigned 2009 Forester, Subaru had one of its best sales years ever. Customers appreciated the value that Subaru offers, from the most fuel efficient AWD lineup in America, to the zero landfill plant in Indiana. We want to thank all of our customers for making 2008 a fantastic year here at Mark Miller Subaru. We look forward to servicing your vehicle needs in 2009.

This should come to no surprise to all of you Subaru fans out there, but the Automotive Lease Guide's top residual values were just released, and Subaru was honored again this year.

Industry Brand Residual Value Rankings
Rank Brand
1 HONDA
2 SUBARU
3 VOLKSWAGEN
4 TOYOTA
5 NISSAN
6 MAZDA
7 SUZUKI
8 SATURN
9 PONTIAC

We will be gunning for the top stop next year, so watch out Honda! In the mean time it is good to know that when you are ready for your next Subaru, your current one will have kept its value.

Congratulations to Eli and Martha Perez on winning the 2008 Subaru Outback on March 22nd 2008. Mark Miller himself was there to hand them the keys to their brand new car.

There are few words in the English language which can conjure up as much meaning, and likely so many memories, as these: road trip. We've all been on them before; some are the highlights of your life and some... well, not so much. But having the right vehicle can make all the difference in the world. Thule, maker of "transportation accessories", has added its name to the ever-growing list of companies that have invented an "__ of the year" award. For this particular honor, Thule has broken the automotive landscape in half, dividing its choices for the best vehicle to take a road trip in at the $30 grand mark. Without further ado, the winners are:

• Best road trip vehicle under $30,000: Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited
• Best road trip vehicle over $30,000: Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited

If you really want to read all of the reasons that Thule offers for choosing these vehicles, there's a whole press release pasted after the break. We're not going to argue with their choices, as both the Outback and the Highlander are fine vehicles, which would be suitable for a group of four people and their assorted belongings. Sure beats the old funny-smelling air-cooled VW van that had trouble keeping up with the slow-moving traffic that some of us can remember from our childhood.

"The Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited combines the styling of a sport wagon with great features such as leather interior with heated seats, all-wheel-drive, four cup-holders, three 12v plugs and an mp3 player dock for around $26,000," remarked Tripp Wyckoff, Thule's VP of Sales, Marketing and Service. In Thule's testing the Outback 2.5i Limited was a very capable all-weather vehicle. With 8.4" of ground clearance the vehicle made it down the roughest roads with small to medium obstacles. The sports wagon height of the vehicle made for easy loading and unloading of bikes, skis, kayaks and gear into a Thule cargo box.
