Looking for Safety? Conicelli Autoplex Sells 34 of the IIHS Top Safety Picks for 2012

PRLog (Press Release) - May 22, 2012 - When shopping for new cars, one of the qualities that modern consumers consistently rank very highly is safety. This is quite an evolution from when safety features were first offered after World War II, to a tepid response. It wasn't until the federal guidelines took effect in 1968 that the average consumer even saw a shoulder harness, something that's now taken for granted.

In an effort to standardize testing for the automotive industry, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety was formed in 1959. The Top Safety Picks, chosen each year by IIHS, are those vehicles that perform well in all of their tests, and has become one of the gold standards for judging vehicle crashworthiness and overall safety characteristics.

At Conicelli Autoplex (http://conicelliautoplex.com) in Conshohocken, PA, five major automobile brands are sold: Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Scion, and Toyota. This particular mix of high-quality moderately-priced brands means that fully one-quarter of all the 2012 IIHS Top Safety Picks are available from this one dealership group.

It's convenient that all of these brands are being sold by one company, but what's really unusual is that at the Conicelli dealerships you can comparison-shop and test-drive vehicles from all of the brands with a single salesperson.

If you've ever wanted to compare, say, a Honda Civic to a Hyundai Elantra or a Toyota Prius to a Honda Insight, Conicelli is the place to do it because you can do it with minimal hassle using only one sales consultant, who will help you shop at any of the dealerships, take you on test-drives, help with financing, and arrange for detailing, final inspection, and delivery.

Imagine: fully one-quarter of the 2012 models that have been named Top Safety Picks are available for inspection with a single phone call to 1-888-Conicelli. Or, visit our website at http://conicelliautoplex.com and fill out the Contact Form that appears on most of the pages, and we'll be in touch quickly.
