Teenagers and telephones. Movie stars and Hollywood. Bright lights, Elvis and Las Vegas.
Some things just naturally go together. Take Mercedes for instance: Luxury, unbeatable quality, performance and German workmanship.
But times have changed. It might as well be "teenagers, pagers and cell phones." Today's popular actors often reside in places such as Sedona, Santa Fe or Montana, rather than the Hollywood Hills. Bright lights and the Vegas-style atmosphere can be found almost anywhere and no one is quite sure where Elvis lives anymore.
What's in a name? Spring Hill -- that's where Saturns are built. Every Saturn owner knows that and many have actually visited the site for factory tours, gift shop buying sprees or Saturn's big family-style barbecue and party held several years back for all Saturn owners.
Bowling Green -- Every Corvette owner and enthusiast knows that the Corvette assembly plant and Corvette Museum are located in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Serious hobbyists will even take delivery of their pre-purchased Corvettes in a special delivery area of the museum.
Tuscaloosa (actually Vance, Alabama - 17 miles east of Tuscaloosa) -- Soon luxury SUV buyers will automatically associate Tuscaloosa as the home for the all-new Mercedes ML320. With a Visitors Center complete with museum, gift shop, factory tours, delivery area, and loads of Southern hospitality, many M-Class buyers may actually turn their buying experience into a family vacation!
