Subaru WRX is Scorching

Subaru is on fire and the WRX has it burning even hotter.  This week at the Los Angeles Auto Show the 2014 Subaru WRX had its world premiere.

The rally-bred car did not disappoint.  It rides on an entirely new platform to make it stiffer and more agile and it has bigger brakes and a performance tuned suspension.  The new torque vectoring system reduces understeer for the all -wheel drive car.  This helps with the new 268 horsepower 2 liter turbo engine and the 6 speed manual transmission.

The car is much roomier with an extra inch on the wheelbase.  This gives the car a bolder overall look.  KBB Analyst Karl Brauer said “Subaru fans are possibly the most dedicated in the automotive world and WRX fans are the most dedicated within the group.  The latest version is a visual stunner with even more advanced performance technology.  The order line forms to the left.”

Subaru also marked the 25th anniversary of the Legacy with a stylish Legacy concept to show future design for the car.

Subaru has been growing faster than the competition with a 28.1 % increase in sales vs. the industry overall growth of 8.4%.  This is in large part due to the redesigned Forester and all new XV Crosstek.  They are also working on a Crosstrek hybrid that will be the car company’s first gas-electric car.

Dallas Morning News Names Huffines one of the Top 100 Places to Work

“It is important for me to create an environment that our team members really enjoy.  That’s what we strive to do, is have Happy Team Members.” – Ray Huffines

The Dallas Morning News recently released the list of the “Top 100 Places to Work” in the DFW Metroplex for 2013, and for the third straight year, Huffines makes it onto the coveted list, and ranking inside of the “Sweet Sixteen.”

In 1924, Mr. J.L. Huffines Sr. founded the Huffines Motor Company in Denton, Texas based around two principles: “Treat the customer the way they want to be treated,” and “Support the local community.”  His philosophy has been followed every day since and the 800+ member team of the 8 area Huffines Dealerships believes what Mr. Huffines believed.  When you help someone purchase or service a vehicle, you are making a friend.  Perhaps that is one reason why the employees at Huffines enjoy what they do so much.

Huffines priority on value, integrity, loyalty, hard-work, and honesty isn’t just intended for the customers and the community.  Rather, these moral philosophies begin with the interactions between the team members and is then able to extend everywhere else.

“The Huffines vision states the Huffines experience leaves our customers, our community, our team members, and our peers saying ‘Wow!’”

We are truly thrilled to be a part of the community and to be honored as one of the best places to work in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, and without the hard-work and dedication of each and every single employee it would not be possible.  And on behalf of everyone at Huffines we would like to thank our terrific family of customers for supporting us and allowing us to go to work serving you.
