Würzburg, March 20, 2006

What does the contemporary and future-oriented sale of new and used cars look like in the automotive industry, which is currently undergoing major structural change? The answer to this question will be provided by the Sales Award 2006, which will be presented on Saturday, April 1, to the car dealerships with the best sales in Germany. The two automotive trade publications "kfz-betrieb", "Gebrauchtwagen Praxis" and their two partners, the financial services provider CC-Bank and the warranty insurer Car-Garantie, will announce the winners of the "Vertriebs Award 2006" and the other top ten winners at the AMI in Leipzig.

This "industry Oscar" honors the German car dealerships that prove to be trendsetters in the market with the most effective sales concepts. The top ten companies include the following brands: BMW/Mini, Chrysler/Jeep, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Opel, Porsche, Smart, Toyota. The companies come from different regions of Germany. The jury's criteria for the assessment included vehicle presentation, sales staff commitment, marketing for new and used cars and interfaces with the service business.
