Chicago Chevy Camaro dealers bask as model was most viewed Autotrader.com vehicle in 2009
This year has been a whirlwind of changes in consumer thinking when it comes to purchasing a new vehicle. Now more than ever before, fuel efficiency has risen to the forefront of the minds of most drivers. This shifting dynamic is in part due to increasing pressure from media, corporate and government organizations. We were all enraged by the past year’s increasingly high gas prices. And with failing American manufacturers, it was a difficult year for brands to reestablish their dominance in a quickly changing auto industry.
One of the big casualties of the recession early on was Chevrolet, but it would appear that the manufacturer has done more than enough to keep itself from sinking. Fortunately for them, Chicago Chevrolet dealers are beginning to bounce back with a little help from their friends in corporate. According to Autotrader.com’s Year-End Trend Engine Report, Chevy received top honors as one of the website’s most viewed vehicles of 2009.
For 2009, the Chevy Camaro grabbed Autotrader.com’s top spot as the number one most-viewed new car of 2009. The Chevrolet brand as a whole won the honor of most-viewed new vehicle brand, showing that consumer interest in GM’s once-failing brand has once again peaked. The honors mean good news for Chicago Chevrolet dealers, who are finally seeing a resurgence in business as the automotive brand moves into the new decade.
For larger cars, a vehicle type that Chevy has oft had a leading spot in, consumers have shown increased interest. According to Autotrader.com, this is a sign that faith in the fuel market is returning.
"Comparing 2009 to 2008, we see increases in shopping activity for trucks and SUVs, larger engines and specific models that have lower miles per gallon," said AutoTrader.com President and CEO Chip Perry. "There's definitely a correlation between gas prices and the kinds of cars Americans shop for. However, as more Americans recognize that gas prices likely will continue to rise for years to come and manufacturers start making smaller, fuel-efficient cars that appeal to more buyers and meet their lifestyle needs, we may see continued embrace of smaller models going forward."
Chicago Chevy Camaro owners should be proud that they’re driving one of the most popular vehicles in the country. These ratings come at a time when GM and the rest of the automotive industry need them the most; the past year’s failings across all aspects of business had hit the auto industry hard, and the Big Three manufacturers were in dire need of a comprehensive rebound. It isn’t a surprise to me that Chevy was the brand stealing away top honors as the brand has always been a stalwart leader in providing quality vehicles at affordable prices.
