IRVINE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Mar 13, 2009
Aston Martin North America, in partnership with John Eagle Dealerships,
is pleased to announce the appointment of an Aston Martin franchised
dealership in Austin, Texas. The move signals the continued expansion of
the independent luxury sports car brand in Texas and across North
America.
Aston Martin of Austin will be the 36th Aston Martin
dealership to open in North America. John Eagle Dealerships, who own and
operate the award-winning Aston Martin of Dallas, has announced Sonny
Morgan as Dealer Principal of the Austin franchise. Sonny previously
held the position of President, Aston Martin of Dallas and has now
relocated to Austin to oversee the development and operation of the
latest Aston Martin dealership in Texas.
Sales will commence in April from a new state-of-the-art 10,000 sq. ft.
showroom with dedicated service facility, located on Research Boulevard,
to the North of the city. This new facility is nestled in the beautiful
hill country, which is the perfect place to experience Aston Martin’s
range of handcrafted high performance sports cars, including the
flagship DBS, elegant DB9 and iconic V8 Vantage.
Julian Jenkins, Vice President and General Manager Aston Martin North
America commented “Aston Martin is in the strongest position it has
ever been, with an award winning model line-up, exciting new product
plans and a growing global presence. In the continued development of our
dealer network across North America, we have taken our time to carefully
consider the right locations and partners. I am delighted that Sonny
Morgan and his enthusiastic team will represent our brand in Austin.”
Sonny Morgan, Dealer Principal and Co-Owner of Aston Martin of Austin,
added “Texans are legendary for appreciating the excitement, elegance
and enjoyment that only an Aston Martin can offer. Based on the demand
for Aston Martins in the Austin area from our Dallas location over the
past several years, we realized it was the appropriate time to open in
Austin. We’re proud to represent Aston Martin and look forward to
extending the deservedly premium ownership experience for these
magnificent cars to clientele in the hill country of Texas."
