Summit Place Kia Opens Second Store

CANTON, Mich., December 30, 2008: Richard LaLonde, dealer principal of Summit Place Kia in Waterford, Michigan, announced the addition of a second Kia dealership with the acquisition of Dick Scott Kia, a retail auto dealership located at 41840 Michigan Avenue in Canton, Michigan. The dealership, which will be renamed Summit Place Kia, has been at its current location since 2001.

Mr. LaLonde said, "This acquisition, located in one of Metro Detroit's most progressive suburbs, reflects our commitment to build Summit Place Kia in tandem with one of the finest and most affordable automotive brands in the United States. Our commitment to customer sales and service satisfaction is second to none in the Detroit Metro market. I also attribute much of our sales success, particularly in these challenging economic times, to our dealership's philosophy of catering to the needs of customers in a very broad credit range -- from those consumers with the best credit to those customers who are in the process of re-building their credit."
