<h2><span style="color: #006600;">Auto baron Herb Chambers plans to show off a car today that definitely lacks a rebate — a $1.7 million Bugatti that’s one of just 300 such cars in existence.</span></h2>
<div id="attachment_1266" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 570px"><img class=" wp-image-1266 " title="Herb Chambers Bugatti Veyron - Herb Chambers Cars &amp; Coffee" src="http://herbchambersnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/bugatti-veyron-herb-chambers_5.jpg" alt="Herb Chambers Bugatti Veyron - Herb Chambers Cars &amp; Coffee" width="560" height="371" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Herb Chambers Bugatti Veyron - Herb Chambers Cars &amp; Coffee - Photo via Media Crush</p></div>
<p><strong>Chambers will wheel out his personal Bugatti Veyron 16.4 at Herb Chambers Porsche/Audi of Burlington as part of the dealer’s “Cars and Coffee” series, where local collectors display their rides.</strong></p>
<p>“I always wanted a Bugatti — so when I got the opportunity to buy one, I did,” said Chambers, who purchased his vehicle directly from Volkswagen-owned Bugatti’s French factory six months ago.</p>
<p>The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 features a 1,000-horsepower quad-turbocharged engine that can go 235 mph.</p>
<p>That’s just 15 mph slower than the model’s sister Bugatti Super Sport, the world’s fastest production car.</p>
<p>Chambers’ Bugatti is one of roughly two-dozen super-premium models in his personal car collection, which also includes a $4 million McLaren F-1 and a $1.2 million Ferrari Daytona Spyder.</p>
<p>The auto baron often displays vehicles in his collection at his free “Cars and Coffee” events, which also feature some two-dozen new cars from Chambers’ dealerships and as many as 150 vehicles that other local collectors bring.</p>
<p>“It’s all about getting (auto enthusiasts) together and giving them a chance to talk about their cars and see all of our different production vehicles,” Chambers said.</p>
<p>“Cars and Coffee” will take place from 7 to 10 a.m. today, with Red Sox slugger Kevin Youkilis on hand from 8 to 9 a.m., at Herb Chambers Porsche/Audi, 62 Cambridge St., Burlington.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #333399;">Piaggio had the top-selling scooter last year with the 150cc Fly and the 2012 model will go on sale with fuel injection in place of carburetors, immobiliser, more under-seat storage and a halogen lamp.</span></h3>
<p>The bigger-wheeled Liberty 150ie irons out the bigger bumps, making it a smart choice for riders who deal with bad roads on the daily commute.</p>
<p>The <a title="Herb Chambers Vespa Boston" href="http://herbchambersvespaboston.com/" target="_blank">Piaggio</a> range is the modern interpretation of the Vespa scooter.</p>
<p>Models vary from a 50cc inner-city runabout to a 500cc three-wheeler that will embarrass sports bikes over rough roads in the wet.</p>
<p>The Italian-built Vespa range is as famous for resale values as for classic lines.</p>
<p>One scooter proving a hit with the rental and younger crowd is the Piaggio Typhoon, with 50cc and 125cc models.</p>
<p>The rugged-looking scooter has chunky treaded tyres and sports military-style logos. These give it street cred in the city &#8211; if you plan to ride into the &#8216;burbs, opt for the 125cc or a soundtrack of car horns will urge you to get out of the way.</p>
<p>A quick ride of the range shows the latest versions are as simple to use and as stable as ever. The Vespas have the reassurance of those solid metal fenders up front to protect legs in an accident. It&#8217;s not much but it&#8217;s far better than plastic.</p>
<p>Both ranges make easy work of filtering through peak hour queue to the front line at the lights. The low centre of gravity and small diameter rubber combine to make these as nimble as a startled rat and that can save your life in the rat-race rush to and from work.</p>
<p>You need to get the 50cc models off the line as quickly as self-preservation demands but the stablemates are more than capable of putting a gap on the cars before the next lights.</p>
<p>The scooter market grew 8.8 per cent last year, with the Vespas and Piaggios taking a proportionately larger chunk of that growth.</p>
<p>The updated models and broader fitment of fuel injection should maintain that growth.</p>

<div align="left">
<h3>Today, there are approx. 19,000 automobile dealers in the United States and our company is ranked #11…</h3>
<div><img src="http://www.thenewsflashcorporation.net/herbchambers/keys-hand-over-use-180(1).jpg" alt="" width="180" height="119" align="left" hspace="6" vspace="6" /><span style="color: #808080;">… that’s up from # 12 last year and I need to say thank you for your business. I know that there are many places that you can buy and service a car and we sincerely appreciate you choosing ours.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;"><span style="color: #000080;">As a matter of fact if you’ve looked around recently at the “new” American auto industry</span>; you’ll see that it has not only come back from the brink, but business is very, very good. </span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;">The automobile industry is alive &amp; well and very important in this country as it is producing millions of jobs both directly as well as indirectly with suppliers etc. Furthermore today’s quality rivals that of any manufacturer on the planet with best ever fuel economy and these cars, SUV’s and trucks come standard with fantastic new styling and technology which is precisely why the auto business is thriving.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;">As sales soar the industry is making plans to build new assembly plants to keep pace with demand. What a difference a couple of years make! This industry’s transformation is simply unprecedented and car buyers reap the benefits and have never been so satisfied with their purchases.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;"><span style="color: #000080;">At The Herb Chambers Companies business is also very good. I feel strongly that this is primarily because we believe steadfastly in doing the right thing</span> for every customer and have for over 25 years. Now with fifty dealerships (and growing), our commitment to customer satisfaction couldn’t be stronger! We insist that every Sales Consultant put themselves in the shoes of our customers throughout every aspect of their dealership visit. Next, every Sales &amp; Leasing Consultant and Business Development Specialists at our company is specifically compensated on Customer Satisfaction. Failure to satisfy our guests is unacceptable here; for any reason!</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;">This is precisely why I personally &amp; regularly meet with all of our Sales Consultants, BDC’s &amp; Managers to discuss the extreme importance of a positive guest experience. Their job is to find out what our customers are interested in and help them buy it at agreeable terms and conditions. Of course this is not as simple as asking them what make and model; it’s really more about helping match the right vehicle to the customer’s needs and pocketbook. Further, we understand that making the decision to purchase any vehicle is important and that people need to collect all the information they require to make an informed decision.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;"><span style="color: #000080;">This process is second nature to all of our consultants because they are armed with enormous product knowledge and can offer an almost</span> unlimited number of transparent options and solutions to satisfy most any transportation need. We encourage and expect this process in all of our transactions because it reveals needs and expectations, enhances customer satisfaction and helps form the right kind of business relationships that have fostered win-win relationships for everybody.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;"><span style="color: #000080;">Little wonder why I have always suggested; “<em>We don’t sell cars. We help people buy them</em>.”</span> Why not come by any one of our 50 dealerships where you can look forward to an unparalleled selection and a shopping experience unlike any other? Afterwards I would love to hear how we did. Please go to <a href="http://www.herbchambersreviews.com/">www.herbchambersreviews.com</a>  anytime to share your experiences.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #808080;">Sincerely,</span></div>

<h2><span style="color: #003300;">The Hyundai phenomenon ranks as one of the most impressive business turnarounds of the past quarter century.</span></h2>
<div id="attachment_1210" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1210" title="Herb Chambers Hyundai - Auburn &amp; Westborough" src="http://herbchambersnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/herb-chambers-hyundai_1.jpg" alt="Herb Chambers Hyundai - Auburn &amp; Westborough" width="600" height="337" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Herb Chambers Hyundai - Auburn &amp; Westborough</p></div>
<p><strong>The company went from being both a punch line and punching bag to slugging it out for supremacy in the United States market.</strong></p>
<p>It’s a symbol of how far the company has come that the compact Elantra sedan was voted North American Car of the Year for 2011, and Hyundai was No. 6 in US car and light truck sales last year. If you combined Hyundai and sibling Kia’s sales last year, they’d have been No. 4 overall behind Ford, Chevrolet, and Toyota, all of whom have pickup trucks as significant parts of their sales portfolios.</p>
</div>
<p>And there’s more growth in sight. Earlier this month at the Chicago Auto Show, Hyundai president and CEO John Krafcik introduced two variations of the Elantra sedan—a two-door coupe and five-door GT (hatchback).</p>
<p>Joe Weisenfelder, executive editor of Chicago-based Cars.com, boils the Hyundai success story into a simple explanation.</p>
<p>“Hyundai encapsulates the saying that industry executives always use; namely, ‘It’s all about Product.’ They use Product in the singular and say ‘There’s no problem that Product can’t solve.’ They always use that line, then they throw lots of money into the marketing budget instead,” he says.</p>
<p>“And Hyundai’s product has become very good. They worked relentlessly on their shortcomings and got to where they were doing pretty well with quality and features, but they still were a little behind on things like fuel efficiency and crash tests.”</p>
<p>No longer.</p>
<p>“Look at the most recent products, the Sonata and Elantra. They’ve got good crash test results, and fuel efficiency is quite high. We can argue EPA ratings but the Elantra is rated at 40 miles per gallon on the highway with either manual or automatic transmission. Some of their competitors are advertising that 40 mpg, too, but often it’s with a special version such as the Cruze ECO or Focus SFE,” says Weisenfelder.</p>
<p>Krafcik, the CEO, addressed those mpg figures in Chicago, calling attention to a Popular Mechanics test of the Elantra and Focus. “At 55 mph the Elantra achieved 47.6 mpg and the (Ford) Focus 47.5,” he said. “Then, at 70 mph, the Elantra got 39.3 mph and the Focus 33.5.”</p>
<p>While introducing the coupe and GT, Hyundai’s Michael O’Brien, vice president of product (that word again) and corporate planning, said that as American consumers consider downsizing for fuel economy, they still want premium content and choices.</p>
<p>Why a coupe? “Singles don’t want a sedan because that screams ‘family,’ ” he says. “and driving enthusiasts will be attracted to the GT because it has European driving characteristics, emotional and streamlined styling and more interior space than competitors for an active lifestyle.”</p>
<p>Krafcik didn’t seem fazed by President Obama’s fleet goal of 54.5 mpg by 2025, noting that Hyundai had a 36.1 fleet average in 2011, a number that rose to 36.7 this January. “We’ve got six variants with 40 mph ratings,” he said, enumerating them: the Accent sedan and five-door, the Veloster, Elantra coupe and sedan, and Sonata hybrid.</p>
<p>It seems that Hyundai (that’s Hyundai-as-in-Sunday) has supplanted Honda as the reigning mpg champion.</p>
<p>Cars.com’s Weisenfelder has an explanation.</p>
<p>“Hyundai is keeping weight down. As a result, their vehicles tend to be a bit noisier inside. When Honda was the undisputed fuel efficiency leader, their vehicles had the same issue. They tended to favor fuel efficiency over noise reduction. The simple fact is that you have to add weight to cancel noise.”</p>
<p><strong>Some Hyundai news of note:</strong><br />
• The company last month announced a lifetime hybrid battery guarantee for the 2012 Sonata hybrid—an industry first. It’s reminiscent of the 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty the company used to attract buyers as it originally climbed back from irrelevancy. Says Hyundai’s O’Brien, “Even with all the hybrid vehicle options on the market today, there is still limited demand for these vehicles because of barriers to customer adoption such as uncertainty about the technology and performance. By offering this guarantee, Hyundai is addressing customer concerns and demonstrating our confidence in the durability of our product.”<br />
• Hyundai has been the presenting sponsor of the Tournament of Champions golf tournament in Maui for two straight years. The Hyundai Tournament of Champions is the PGA Tour’s season-opening event. Important? Golf attracts an upscale viewer. The sponsorship tells where Hyundai is headed.<br />
• Could it be more racing? Hyundai is in rallycross and drifting and had an electronic racing game in big lights in Times Square this winter.<br />
• Upgraded dealership facilities? That is a major issue for the National Automobile Dealers Assn. Last week, the industry publication Automotive News reported Hyundai was said to be considering having its dealer network make room for a “Genesis” sub-brand area in showrooms for the upscale Genesis and high-end Equus.<br />
• Super Bowl ads. The best had Elantra “tooting its own horn” on a joyride, but others touted the performance (power and handling) of Genesis and Veloster and employee togetherness.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Local dealer <a title="Herb Chambers Dealers" href="http://herbchambersdealers.com" target="_blank">Herb Chambers</a> has two <a title="Herb Chambers Hyundai - CLICK HERE" href="http://herbchambershyundai.com/" target="_blank">Hyundai</a> dealerships.</span></h3>
<p><strong>“Hyundai is really doing well. </strong></p>
<p><strong>We’ve been with them since the beginning. In the beginning they were cheap—both in price and the way they were made. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Over time, they’ve brought quality up to be comparable to everyone, including the domestics. </strong></p>
<p><strong>It used to be Honda and Toyota, and everyone else wasn’t quite as good. That delta has closed.”</strong></p>
<p>Is that just dealer-speak?</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“No,” says <a title="HERB CHAMBERS CLICK HERE" href="http://www.herbchambers.com" target="_blank">Herb Chambers</a>.</strong></p>
<p>“The domestics are as good. I know because we sell both and the residual values of American cars have gone up. They’re holding their value much better. Before, we could give you a great deal on buying them new, but they weren’t worth as much when it was time to trade. Now that’s turned around. It’s a level playing field. And Hyundai now matches them all.”</p>
<p>And what about that Hyundai styling? <a title="CLICK HERE - HERB CHAMBERS" href="http://www.herbchambers.com" target="_blank">Herb Chambers</a> keeps an eye on what’s passing on the roads outside of his dealerships.</p>
<p>“I really like the styling of Hyundai’s cars, but sometimes I’ll see one and ask, ‘What’s that? A Mercedes?’ Then I realize it’s a <a title="Herb Chambers Hyundai - CLICK HERE" href="http://herbchambershyundai.com/" target="_blank">Hyundai</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mercedes must be ready to strangle these guys because they’re interesting-looking cars.”</strong></p></blockquote>

You know, check it out to see who else is in there, make sure I have access to free cookies, try to log onto a wireless network, the usual stuff. So I’m checking out all the other press people, and I see one of the chairs is marked for <strong>CBS Early Morning,</strong> which I thought was interesting. And then I see a man with the same green priority media tag as I have, and I realize…dundundun…it’s <strong><a title="CLICK HERE" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_Rocca" target="_blank">MO ROCCA</a></strong>. MO ROCCA is covering the event because he does segments on CBS Early Morning. Are you flippin’ kidding me? The man is a celebrity himself, and he’s covering the event! I mean, if you’re press, but you’re a celebrity in your own right, that’s BALLER. The man was a <strong>Daily Show </strong>correspondent, for pete’s sake. I DIE!</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Pre-parade festivities:</strong></span> Claire and her husband, the adorable <strong>Hugh Dancy</strong>, (you’d know him as Ted, <strong>Elizabeth Olsen</strong>’s brother in law in <strong>Martha Marcy May Marlene</strong>!) landed in Cambridge and had a scrumptious lunch at <strong>UpStairs on the Square</strong>. The staff described her as “a doll,” and said in her honor that they cooked up a vegetarian meal.</p>
<p>Here’s the menu of what they had:</p>
<p><em>“Butter Lettuce</em></p>
<p><em>Ruby Red Grapefruit &amp; Avocado</em></p>
<p><em>Half of a Cider-Glazed Acorn Squash</em></p>
<p><em>Warn Warro, Tuscan Kale &amp; Quince</em></p>
<p><em>Vanilla White Chocolate Cake</em></p>
<p><em>Passionfruit Caramel &amp; Creme Legere”</em></p>
<p>AHHHH. Nothing like some “Butter Lettuce” to get me in the mood.</p>
<div id="attachment_1191" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><img class=" wp-image-1191 " title="Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;" src="http://herbchambersnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/herb-chambers-bentley-hasty-pudding_8.jpg" alt="Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;" width="480" height="340" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>I love a parade:</strong></span> While Claire is paraded around the streets of Cambridge in a blue <strong>Bentley</strong> (courtesy of <strong>Herb Chambers </strong>of course…that security for the blue Bentley was 90 times tighter than it was for Claire herself!) a brass band played “When the Saints Go Marchin’ In,” and everyone’s feeling all festive. She mugs for the crowd and climbs the steps to the theater. Then everyone heads inside.</p>
<div>
<div id="attachment_1190" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 436px"><img class=" wp-image-1190    " title="Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;" src="http://herbchambersnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/herb-chambers-bentley-hasty-pudding_7.jpg" alt="Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;" width="426" height="568" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;</p></div>
</div>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Pudding Pot Presentation:</strong></span> A lot of LOLZ were made  at the fact that Claire dropped out of Yale after 2 years. The Hasty Pudding dudes LOVED ranking on the Yalies:</p>
<p>“Claire made waves after leaving Yale after 2 years….2 years is a normal amount of time to spend at a community college.”</p>
<blockquote><p>So in her acceptance speech, they handed her the pudding pot, and she said “This is as empty as a Yale degree! You know you are outside the boundaries of Hollywood when a woman receives an award from which she can eat.” She then proceeded to drop it on the ground. oops!  “I do like to eat. I do like to eat me some pudding. I do like the taste of it. This is awesome. This is really awesome.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Then everyone moves upstairs for the press conference, where we each get to ask her one question. I had been chatting with <strong><a title="CLICK HERE" href="https://twitter.com/#%21/janetwuon7" target="_blank">Janet Wu Tang Clan from Channel 7</a></strong>, but she needed to get out of there in time for the 6pm news, so she asked if she could ask her question ahead of me. Of course, I’m like, sure, <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/janetwuon7" target="_blank">Janet Wu Tang Clan</a></strong>, no problem. But then she asks the exact same question I was going to say. DOH! Here question was about the Superbowl.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>On the Superbowl: </strong></span>“I’m going!” Claire said. “I keep being like, that’s kind of wasted on me. I’m there for the nachos and the alcohol. I don’t know anything about football. I have no excuse. I have gotten a number of tutorials from people who do know about it. I’ll go for halftime. I’m going to the game, I think. And I will enjoy the dancing and the cheerleaders and those little talk phones.” <strong>(note: I think she means…MEGAPHONES.)</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>On whether she feels incomplete for dropping out of college halfway through:</strong></span> ” I do…I had a great experience at Yale. When I was there, I was fully committed and loved it and I’m forever indebted to that experience. I had spent my entire adolescence on a film set, and I was very drained by that. I was craving a different adventure. That really satisfied my urge. I got the fundamentals of college. I drank too much watered down beer. I made my best friends. I felt fulfilled personally. I didn’t need 2 more years, I think…I was very shaped by that time and that institution.”</p>
<div>
<div id="attachment_1192" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><img class=" wp-image-1192 " title="Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;" src="http://herbchambersnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/herb-chambers-bentley-hasty-pudding_9.jpg" alt="Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;" width="480" height="377" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;</p></div>
</div>
<p>Finally, it was my turn…luckily, I had my backup questions prepared:</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>On Season 2 of Homeland:</strong></span> “I don’t know anything. I really don’t. It may not be a direct time cut. Time will have elapsed. Some episodes will have been shot overseas. Maybe you see Carrie in Iraq again. I hope she’s in better shape than we last found her. I want her to wash her hair and put on some lipstick and come back swinging. She suffered some hard knocks.”</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>On which is harder- playing someone with Bipolar Disorder on Homeland, or someone who is Autistic, in Temple Grandin:</strong></span> “They were both rather challenging and fascinating. I think I’ve learned that bipolar condition is actually more challenging than autism, in that it is defined by its erraticism. With autism you can develop skills and coping mechanisms that will improve your quality of life that develop over time, and things get better. With bipolar, it’s harder to tame, because it is so scattered. It’s very exhausting to play somebody in a full blown manic episode. I am fascinated by psychology and acting. I’m so fortunate to have experiences like this.”</p>
<div>
<div id="attachment_1187" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 551px"><img class=" wp-image-1187    " title="Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;" src="http://herbchambersnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/herb-chambers-bentley-hasty-pudding_4.jpg" alt="Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;" width="541" height="363" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Herb Chambers Bentley Boston - &quot;Claire Danes - Hasty Pudding&quot;</p></div>
</div>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>On the experience as a whole:</strong></span><strong> I’ve had a great day and it’s just been a blast and utterly trippy.</strong></p>
<p><strong>That parade will remain forever emblazoned on my mind as a wonderful thing.”</strong><br />

<div id="attachment_1148" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 550px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1148" title="Herb Chambers Chrysler Jeep Dodge Danvers Massachusetts" src="http://herbchambersnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/herb-chambers-danvers-ma_1.jpg" alt="Herb Chambers Chrysler Jeep Dodge Danvers Massachusetts" width="540" height="261" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Architect&#39;s rendering shows what the new exterior of the Herb Chambers Chrysler/Jeep dealership will look like after renovations are completed at 107 Andover St. The project is one of two Herb Chambers is proposing for dealerships along Route 114, including a new Cadillac dealership at 90 Andover St. (not shown).</p></div>
<p><strong>DANVERS — Amid an apparent uptick in the car business, the Herb Chambers Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership on Route 114 could soon be getting a whole new look and a new showroom thanks to a proposed 4,000-square-foot addition.</strong></p>
<p>And at Chambers&#8217; Chevrolet and Cadillac dealerships down the road at 90 Andover St., there are plans for a new, standalone 8,500-square-foot Cadillac dealership.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are in the early stages&#8221; of this second project, said Wakefield attorney Ted Regnante, general counsel for Herb Chambers.</p>
<p>Last week, the Danvers Planning Board continued a public hearing on the Chrysler Jeep dealership project at 107 Andover St. until Jan. 10 as project proponents tweak engineering issues to meet technical requirements.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are completely modernizing the building,&#8221; Regnante said.</p>
<p>The addition would fill in a jog in the front corner of the dealership and give the facility a showroom, Senior Planner Kate Day said.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We presently do not have a showroom on the inside of the building,&#8221; Regnante said. The addition would also expand the service area and improve stormwater drainage on the site. Both the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Conservation Commission have approved the plans, which will also include extensive landscaping along Route 114.</p></blockquote>
<p>No plans have been filed for the new Herb Chambers Cadillac dealership building. Both Chambers&#8217; Cadillac and Chevrolet dealerships share the same building.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are going to sit down with all the various boards that have jurisdiction to get their input,&#8221; Regnante said of this project.</p>
<p>The work at the two Herb Chambers locations may signal the car business could be in for better days, Regnante said.</p>
<p>Despite a lull at the start of the year, &#8220;Our sales are up substantially at both locations within the last quarter,&#8221; Regnante said.</p>
<p>Chambers operates about 50 dealerships in New England, and they, too, are selling more cars.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are seeing that throughout our whole organization,&#8221; Regnante said.</p>
<p>According to the website TrueCar.com, sales of new cars in the United States in 2011 could reach 12.8 million units, the highest level since 2008.</p>
<p>The website forecast that Chrysler would see a 33.8 percent increase in December 2011 sales, compared with sales during the same month one year ago.</p>
<p>Regnante praised Danvers officials, and Day in particular, for accommodating the project and taking a pro-development attitude.</p>
<p>&#8220;We found the town to be extremely helpful and accommodating to us,&#8221; Regnante said.</p>

<p><strong>The available MyFord Touch,™ which will be branded as MyLincoln Touch™ and MyMercury Touch™ on respective Lincoln and Mercury brand products, redesigns the in-car interface, mirroring how consumers interact with most devices in their lives by using touch-sensitive buttons, touch screens and voice recognition.</strong></p>

<p>MyFord Touch™ displays information using two 4.2-inch full-color LCD screens flanking an analog speedometer and an 8-inch touch-screen LCD at the top of the center stack.
