Mr. Aoun adds, “We thank our Lebanese customers for the confidence they have given us which has resulted in a series of unparalleled successes for Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz remains the first choice of automobile for the Lebanese customer who is looking for ultimate quality, futuristic technology and state-of-the art engineering.”

The new showroom, which will be located on the Dora highway, will cover an area of 1500 square meters and includes a two-storey warehouse resulting in a total area of 4800 square meters. The showroom will include the most advanced technology features that meet the aspirations of Mercedes-Benz customers looking to adopt the most sophisticated vehicles in the world of luxury cars. Moreover, the new showroom will meet the company’s needs by providing an ideal place to display the latest Mercedes-Benz models, reflecting Mercedes-Benz’s motto, “The best or nothing”. Describing the facilities which will be available for the customer at the new showroom, Mr. Aoun said, “The showroom, located in a very accessible site, boasts a large surface area which allows us to display 30 vehicles. It is also built with high quality installations in line with the most advanced technologies.”

As for the impact of the region’s turmoil for the past year on sales, Mr. Aoun reassured that, “In spite of all the economic and political instabilities that have been affecting our region, Mercedes-Benz maintained a high percentage of sales in the luxury car market and secured a leading position for the sale of luxury cars in Lebanon.”

As for the secret of maintaining the leading rank in the sales of luxury cars, Mr. Aoun explained that the ‘new marketing strategy’ adopted by the company played a major role and clarified that, “In addition to this strategy, Mercedes-Benz conducted substantial amendments to its models to provide vehicles that are all new, modern and innovative, specifically the C-CLASS, C-COUPE, CLS and SLK models, among others. These changes made the brand more oriented to a younger generation, while offering options that cater to a wide audience.”
