Total Car Score Names The Top 10 Best American Cars: Cadillac CTS Earns Top Spot

LOS ANGELES, June 27, 2012 - Total Car Score (www.totalcarscore.com), the most comprehensive automotive ranking and comparison website, announced today the 10 Best American Cars for 2012. This year's top spot goes to the 2012 Cadillac CTS luxury sedan. As the nation prepares to mark Independence Day, Total Car Score's list of the 10 Best American Cars reflects the strength and quality of the domestic auto industry. The rankings represent nearly every category of car, including luxury sedans and SUVs as well as crossovers and large wagons. Karl Brauer, editor in chief and CEO of Total Car Score, and a veteran industry observer, commented on the rankings: "The Detroit Big 3 have quickly rebounded to produce some of the highest rated cars on the market, and America clearly hasn't lost its grip on the large SUV or high-performance sedan segments. All three manufacturers made the Top 10 list with at least one 'tuner' version of their mainstream sedans, confirming Detroit muscle is alive and well. "Kudos to Cadillac for earning the top spot with its CTS luxury sedan, the Top Scoring domestic model on the market. General Motors also captured six of the Top 10 spots with hits from Buick, Chevrolet, GMC and a total of three Cadillac models. Ford's Taurus SHO and Flex represent the Blue Oval's best, while two versions of Chrysler's venerable 300 sedan confirm its continued appeal." "It's worth noting that while no compact domestic models made the list, Ford's 2012 Focus was less than half a point behind the 300 SRT8," Brauer added. "With a growing emphasis on small cars and high fuel efficiency, it's likely we'll see a domestic economy car in next year's Top 10 Best American Cars list." Total Car Score allows car buyers and enthusiasts alike to compare vehicles quickly and easily across all automotive segments. The "Total Car Score" is one comprehensive number assigned to a vehicle that represents an overall industry assessment from major automotive authorities. All vehicles are model year 2012 with at least five source ratings that comprise the Total Car Score. In a nod to the red white and blue, here are the 10 Best American Cars from Total Car Score.

Audi Wesley Chapel Takes National Spotlight

A major award for the Tampa Bay Area’s newest high-tech Audi dealer: Just one year after opening, Audi Wesley Chapel has earned the Magna Society Elite award. This is the highest possible honor bestowed by Audi of America, and amongst Audi of America’ network of nearly 300 dealers nationwide, only 16 are designated “Best of the Best”. To earn Magna Society Elite, a dealer must consistently demonstrate a world class level of guest service, as well as deliver industry leading business performance. Audi Wesley Chapel is the only Audi dealer in Florida, and one of just 4 Audi dealerships in the Southeast United States and to take home this highest honor.

A member of the 95 year old Tampa Bay based Dimmitt Automotive Group, Audi Wesley Chapel opened the doors on a stunning new 40,000-square foot location at 2500 Lajuana Boulevard in Wesley Chapel in November of 2017. The ultra-modern facility resembles a sparkling glass contemporary art gallery. Its appearance signals Audi Wesley Chapel’s progressive and revolutionary approach to connecting guests to the vehicle of their dreams. Customers and Audi Brand Specialist are armed with iPads as they roam the open-concept facility. This leaves them free to peruse the large selection of exciting Audi products, as well as access to information on everything from vehicle features and options, to data on competitive makes and models. The entire transaction is conducted on the computer table…no more paperwork or back and forth to the manager’s offices, just transparency in a guest driven experience. “We are deeply honored to have received this prestigious recognition from Audi of America during our first year in business. All credit goes to our awesome team of committed associates. They demonstrate the highest level of professionalism every single day” says Dimmitt CEO Scott Larguier.
