With my busy schedule, its been tough keeping two blogs going, so over the next few weeks, I’ll be transitioning over to our main blog on CCC 

Please drop on by and add your two cents as usual. I love getting the feedback.

We are currently in the midst of launching an all-new TheCarMagazine.com as well as an all-new CarCostCanada.com.

We have a ton of cool new features, many of which will be not only unique to the Canadian market, but in some cases, the world.

 Thx again for your loyalty and hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers,

CCCPres

I wasn’t too sure about the idea to launch a CTS wagon when I first heard about it, but it’s starting to grow on me.

In Europe SUV’s are pretty rare. Everybody drives Audi and BMW wagons along with a ton of others. I guess it makes sense. They have about the same room as a mid-size SUV, but they’re better on gas and drive way better as well.

Anyhow, click this link and check it out.

Armada Data Corporation is a publicly traded company on the TMX (Formerly TSX) Venture Exchange (TMX-V:ARD) and is an emerging leader in the supply and commercialization of data for institutional and retail clients. The Company creates, owns, and operates income producing automobile web sites in both the Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) verticals. Based in Mississauga, Ontario, Armada Data commenced operations in July 1999 and currently has eighteen employees.

Armada Data collects automobile data (including manufacturer’s new car retail and wholesale pricing and factory incentives) and dealer data (including a full list of all dealers in Canada and their contact information and mark-up/selling prices). The Company then repackages and reformats this information into a written and a web-based format and sells it to corporate customers (primarily insurance companies), new-car retail buyers, small fleet vehicle buyers, and marketing agencies.

Due to the proprietary nature of the vast majority of the Company’s data, the barrier to entry into Armada Data’s business remains very high. Currently, to the best of Management’s knowledge, there is no other company offering a similar range of products and services or having the ability to deliver these kinds of products and services on-line.

A growing economy leads to more cars sold, thereby generating a potentially larger market opportunity for all of Armada Data’s divisions. A slowing economy can motivate consumers and insurers to become more informed and cost conscious when making a large purchase thereby increasing market penetration rates during recessionary environments. This effect of increased market share during a recessionary environment is currently baring fruit for your company.

What I think Josh & Ahmad were trying to find out is, does the location of the factory have much influence on your purchasing decision? For example, does the fact that many VW’s are made in Mexico make any difference to you or would you pay a premium for a German made VW?

Since two guys suggested a similar poll question, I’ll give them both a free CCC membership as long as we get a minimum of 20 votes.

Judging by the last couple of polls, it should be no problem, assuming Josh & Ahmad have enough friends

UPDATE: Josh and Ahmad are the latest winners of a free CCC membership, just for suggesting a new poll idea. Time to submit yours. You could be next.
