It isn't everyday when one drives by Nivel Hills in the heart of Cebu and come face to face with a world-class showroom that houses luxury car brands Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram.
Auto Nation Group (ANG), the executive distributor of classic American and German marques, has appointed fast-rising Global Star Motors Corporation (GSMC) to bring these prestigious brands to the Visayas market, starting with its flagship hub in Cebu. Owning a car is now within easy reach of Cebuanos, who used to settle for just whatever brands are available or had to shoulder shipping costs just to bring in their dream cars.
"We're deeply honored for this opportunity to partner with Auto Nation Group and open our first dealership here in Cebu. We believe Cebu deserves the best…" GSMC President Edward Onglatco said during the inauguration.
This is ANG's first foray into the country's other major regions in its thrust to further expand its market and reach more clients. "We're partnering with the best group that can cater to the Cebuano's discriminating taste and sophisticated sense of style which are reflected in the form and function of these reputable brands," ANG President Felix R. Ang said.
Backed by a supportive team led by retired Ambassador Francisco Benedicto, as the Board's Chairman and his fellow incorporators Kenneth O. Huan as Senior Vice President, Barbara Gothong-Tan as treasurer and Atty. Augusto Go as Chairman Emeritus, the GSMC president has set his sights on a bright future for this partnership.
"We would like to be known not only as the group responsible for bringing in the best German luxury and American premium brands to Cebu but also as ANG's long-term partner and most trusted dealer in Cebu and other Visayas-Mindanao areas. More than that, however, we want to be our customers' partner on the road, delivering unmatched, excellent after-sales service that reflects the ideals of the brands we carry," he added.
The state-of-the-art showroom and after-sales facility was built according to Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler group's exacting standards and will offer Mercedes Benz and Chrysler Group's full vehicle line-up including its latest model.
