So I have children- ages 14 and 12. Anyone that has teenagers is certainly familiar with Facebook. I originally joined Facebook so that I could view where my 14 year-old was going and what she would encounter. Well- when I got there I was amazed!

More about the future of Chevrolet
Many are still wondering what path General Motors is heading down and where the path is going to lead. And while there is not a solid answer to that question, one thing we can be sure of is that they'll end up ahead of where they currently are. With new models, new options and less issues. Building a future for us as dealers as well as this country. After all, General Motors is a company that parts of this nation were created on. So we will continue with our support in a great company and a great future.
Take the new Chevrolet Cruze, a model that will be showing up in Chevrolet Showrooms for the 2011 model year. (really not that far away)... The Cruze is being toted as a "world car". Reason being, the suspension was designed in Europe, the interior and exterior design in Asia and more. Making the result, a "world car" that will be sold all over the globe with minimal variations.
This beautiful new Cruze promises more refinement over the current Cobalt, more interior space and most importantly, even better fuel economy due to it's 1.4L 4 Cyl. Turbocharged engine and a 6 speed automatic or manual trasmission. Over all it's a vehicle that will grab the attention of many.
This is just one of the many great steps that General Motors is taking to promise a brighter future for the company, it's dealers and this nation.

We're Not Going Anywhere...
For Immediate Release
Tuesday, June 2, 2009, without any fanfare or media attention, General Motors notified, by FedEx delivery, all 6,000 dealers across the country providing them with personalized instructions as to the status of their franchises going forward. Two weeks ago, GM notified 1,100 dealers that their agreements would not be renewed. Today, the phase-out options were spelled out for these 1,100 plus an additional 500 dealers across the country.
With each letter was attached either a “Participation Agreement”, a “Wind-down Agreement”, or in some cases- both. A “Participation Agreement” provided a dealer operator with the terms and conditions that would allow their franchises to be assumed by the new GM. A “Wind-Down Agreement” informed the dealers that their location was not viable beyond the expiration of the dealer agreement as of October 31, 2009. These dealer agreements will be assumed by the new GM but will not be renewed. The wind-down provided some assistance to the dealer to aid them in winding down their operations over the next 16 months, allowing them to sell down vehicle inventory and parts over time. Terms of either agreement are non-negotiable and are not subject to any appeal process. Just like that- your future as a GM dealer has been determined by a letter!
Northwest Hills Dealerships in Torrington is pleased to announce that GM informed the dealership that “it has been identified by GM as one of its key dealers for the Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC Truck brands.” As a result, the dealer franchise agreements will be assigned to the New GM and the dealership will continue to operate in Torrington representing these great brands.
Regrettably, Northwest Hills was not as fortunate in retaining the Cadillac brand and as a result, will no longer be able to sell Cadillac’s beyond October 31, 2010. “While we were very excited that GM recognized the importance of Chevrolet, Buick and GMC in Torrington, we were very disappointed to learn that it decided to eliminate the Cadillac division from Litchfield County as it has had such a proud history in the area” said Kevin Sullivan, General Manager of Northwest Hills, “part of GM’s restructuring includes creating a limited Cadillac dealer network, comparable in quantity and locale to that of Lexus, Mercedes, or Infiniti- and to create larger volume stores. One of the many problems with that decision, as I see it, is that Litchfield County residents will then be required to travel a substantial distance to purchase a Cadillac.” Northwest Hills intends to sell Cadillac’s through October 31, 2010 and will continue to service them beyond then.
GM had previously announced the gradual elimination of the Pontiac brand, and therefore, Northwest Hills will wind-down its Pontiac sales arm by the end of October 31, 2010 as well. The warranties of all GM vehicles, including Pontiac, will continue to be honored by GM, and performed by Northwest Hills Dealerships.
“We are thrilled to be able to continue to represent GM with Chevy Buick and GMC in Torrington. My family has had a long history with GM going back to 1954, when my grandfather, John Kenney, became the dealer at O’Neill’s Chevrolet Buick in Avon, and my father, Larry Sullivan, a GM dealer since 1986” said Kevin Sullivan. “The Sullivan family is looking forward to the new GM- leaner, greener, and stronger than ever!”

We Continue to Stay Strong With Chrysler
May 14, 2009
Northwest Hills Chrysler Jeep, located on Rt. 202, 2033 East Main Street, Torrington, CT, was today officially notified by Chrysler LLC that it would continue to represent the Chrysler and Jeep nameplates beyond the restructuring that the parent company is currently in.
“This is great news for our business, our employees, our customers, and the Greater Torrington area” stated Kevin Sullivan, owner and General Manager of Northwest Hills Chrysler Jeep.
Media reports had speculated that Chrysler LLC could cut as many as 1,000 dealers nationwide, and as developments unfolded this week, it was clear that the cuts would be announced Thursday morning after the company formally filed the list of dealers to be cut with the bankruptcy court in New York.
At 9:15am Thursday, Chrysler LLC filed a list of 789 dealers to be terminated- 7 of which operate in Connecticut. It was reported that these rejected stores would cease operations in mid-June.
Sullivan went on to say “the manufacturer (Chrysler LLC) has not been managed well over the last few years, and this economic downturn has created a very difficult environment to sell cars. We still have some great quality products to offer, fantastic incentives to pass on to our customers, and deep discounts that really make our vehicles stand out! We have seen the credit markets loosen up considerably, rates are better than ever….it is a great time to buy a new Chrysler or Jeep!”
“We look forward to getting beyond the restructuring period, and restoring customer confidence. With the probable alliance with Fiat, there will be an incredible infusion of new technology and products we have yet to see in this country. We very much look forward to and are excited about that! We are very excited to be moving forward with the New Chrysler.”

The New Camaro & More

The proof is in the pudding...
So news in the industry shows you just where GM is going. And that's no where. Todays great news comes from plants not being closed as scheduled.
The General Motors Arlington Plant was scheduled to be shut down for a short time beginning on May 11th. HOWEVER, due to NEW orders GM is keeping the plant open, at the current moment, for an extra week. Meaning that at this time the plant will only be shot down from May 19th - July 13th. Some of which is normal for GM as they restructure plants for the new model year vehicles. And you never know, if things continue on this track the closing time could be pushed off even further.
All in all though, it just goes to show that the company is heading in the right direction and as a GM Dealer we too are heading in the right direction and will be here for you now and years into the future.
As for the proof being in the pudding, if the above wasn't what you were looking for and you truly were looking for pudding, well. Here you go.

The New Camaro & More
Let's face it, we've all heard the news lately, this business closes up, that business has major losses and the government to push for this or thats...
HOWEVER, while there is surely all the bad news everywhere you turn, well, keep turning. Because things are looking up. Things are turning around. Sure, GM is in a major restructure. But they're still here and NOT going anywhere. Chrysler and Jeep, going through Chapter 11 and is also in a huge restructure. But with Fiat by Chryslers side and the entire country behind GM and Chrysler alike, they are NOT going anywhere. And neither is Northwest Hills. We're here. And we're here to stay. Service, body shop, new and used vehicles. We're here!!!
Look into the future. We have new models coming from the likes of Chevrolet, Cadillac and more. Not to mention the new vehicles Chrysler will surely be working on with Fiat. Cadillac with the New SRX, Buick with the New Lacrosse. How about the New Camaro. Does all of that good news sound like something that would be coming from a company shutting its doors? I think not!
So stand with us, support the economy and know that you're not going to be left standing in the cold, the rain, the heat or anything else. We'll help you repair your vehicle or find the perfect new fit. Because Northwest Hills is here for you...
What else is there to look forward to? OMG! Seriously. Look at some of this weather we've been having. Spring is here!!! The sun is shining, flowers blooming, birds chirping. And of course Mothers day!!!
What are you planning? How about cooking all the mothers in your life a nice brunch? Not taking them out, stay in, make a home cooked meal and serve them. Need some ideas? How about some fresh baked muffins (don't worry, we won't tell if they came from a box), maybe some fresh coffee cake, waffles, pancakes, eggs, fresh squeezed orange juice? Fruit Salad!!! Don't forget the coffee, the cards and even more importantly, some flowers!!! I would think a morning like that would just be so great for them all!!!!
Then of course if you really want to support the economy, there could be a new bracelet? Jewels? What about a new car? ;o)
Either way, make it a special day and be close to those mothers around you. And know that even for those mothers that just can't be there any longer, they're still right there by your side.
