"Small Car of the Year"

The 2010 Kia Soul was named "Small Car of the Year" by FAMA Magazine during an award presentation at the 2010 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. Also named one of "10 Great and Safe Rides for Teens" by AutoWeek magazine, one of the "Most Exciting Cars of 2010" by TIME.com, given two "Top Safety Picks" by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and named to the "Top 10 Back-to-School Cars" list by Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com, Soul was selected by FAMA for its extensive list of safety features, dynamic styling, impressive interior room and value.


"Soul offers today's consumer a practical and attractive option with a more than impressive package of vibrant styling, extensive safety features and standard amenities," said Michael Sprague, vice president, marketing of Kia Motors America (KMA). "In today's economy we feel it's important that buyer's don't have to sacrifice these necessities for overall value, and Soul delivers."

Editors from FAMA selected the top vehicles across six categories, including Editor's Choice Award, Green Car/Hybrid of the Year, Best Luxury Sport Utility, Sport Car of the Year, Small Car of the Year and Car of the Year for Women. Each vehicle considered possessed a long list of safety features, impressive styling, interior space and value.

Available in four trims, Soul, Soul+, Soul! (exclaim) and Soul sport, Kia Motors' affordable halo vehicle offers an attractive starting price below $14,000(1). Four special edition Souls, based on the Soul+ trim, also are being released throughout the year, including Denim Soul, Ignition Soul and most recently Shadow Dragon Soul. Offering consumers even more ways to customize the Soul, each special edition comes with its own unique exterior color and packaging.

In addition to presenting an immense amount of style and value, Soul also offers an extensive list of standard safety features, including front seat active headrests, dual front advanced airbags, front seat-mounted and full-length side curtain airbags, an Antilock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist System (BAS) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Front and rear crumple zones, side-impact door beams, an impact-absorbing steering column and Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system also come standard.

LOCAL DEALERSHIP MAKES A SLAM DUNK SPONSORING LOCAL YOUTH BASKETBALL LEAGUE

Chris Leith Chevrolet Donates over $1,500 in Cash and Sports equipment to Town of Rolesville Parks and Recreation Department


Chris Leith Chevrolet is one of 25 Chevrolet dealers from the Raleigh-area that partnered with local youth basketball leagues helping to raise close to $11,800 in total donations from the dealerships and private parties in the area. During the 2009-2010 basketball season, Town of Rolesville Parks and Recreation Department received both monetary and equipment donations as well as the opportunity to raise up to $10,000 through a unique fundraiser.


Chris Leith Chevrolet partnered with Town of Rolesville Parks and Recreation Department because of the league’s proximity to the dealership. Over the course of the season, Chris Leith Chevrolet donated team equipment kits, which included equipment bags, practice jerseys, coaches’ clipboards, scorebooks and t-shirts, while also making a cash donation to Town of Rolesville Parks and Recreation Department. Offering additional support, the dealership donated a vehicle, which was given away through the Chevy Youth Basketball Fundraiser Opportunity. This fundraiser allowed participating leagues to raise money through ticket sales, and one lucky person won a car for supporting the youth league in their area. Leagues like Town of Rolesville Parks and Recreation Department kept one hundred percent of the proceeds raised, and they can use the funds in any way they choose. The winning ticket for the Chevy Youth Basketball Fundraiser Opportunity was purchased by Lucille Frazier of Oxford, NC. She purchased her winning ticket from Oxford Parks and Recreation Department.

“We are thrilled to contribute to Town of Rolesville Parks and Recreation Department and have really enjoyed partnering with them this season,” said Johnny Dudley, of Chris Leith Chevrolet. “Sponsoring Town of Rolesville Parks and Recreation Department gave us the opportunity to help them raise much-needed funds and show our commitment toward supporting the youth and families in the Wake Forest/Rolesville community. “ We’re glad to have achieved such positive outcomes for the community through the Chevy Youth Basketball program.”
