2009, What a Year for Bergen Jaguar

Hard to believe the year is almost over. Going onto Bergen Jaguar’s 17th anniversary. First and foremost, Happy Holidays to all. What a year, I wasn’t sure we were going to be around when we started this year, but things have certainly changed. We just found out that Jaguar once again won the #1 ranking In the JD Powers customer satisfaction award. By the way that 5 times in the last 6 years, but who’s counting? Great press on Jaguar everywhere you looked this year. Whether it was the new 2010 XF with added features like our new 5.0L engine, or our 510 Horse Power available in our XK and XF versions. Imagine a car with 510 HP, 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, and it does not even qualify for the gas-guzzler tax! New dramatic interiors in our portfolio editions as well as state of the art technology. And what a reaction to the 2011 XJ, words like modern, stunning, and of course gorgeous.

We also want to congratulate the folks of Bergen Jaguar and Madison Jaguar for making us the largest Jaguar dealer in the tri-state area, yep, we sell more new and pre-owned Jaguars than anyone else and have remained a leader in customer satisfaction. Wow, what a year. We had our grand opening in March at our Madison store, traveled to London for the launch of the 2011 Jaguar XJ, and just had parties at both Madison Jaguar and Bergen Jaguar premiering the new XJ. Jaguar Corporate got a new (actually an alumni) Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Richard Beattie, and we got a new sales manager at Bergen, Paul “the teacher” Sheridan. Mr. Rattan Tata came along with Ravi Kant and took 2 hours to discuss their plans as well as our preparations for the “new Jaguar”. What an honor. If you get a chance, Please take a look at our web sites: bergenjaguar.com and madisonjaguar.com for the latest in Jaguar news, whether real or maybe a little true. I want to thank our customers, vendors, Jaguar, and of course our staff for making a very difficult year survivable…I promise we’ll do our best to earn your trust and anticipate your needs.
