How Did The ADM Professional Community Concept Originate?
This online community is dedicated to Thomas Lesard who was my boss from 1982 to 1984 while I worked for the De La Fuente Automotive Group in San Diego, CA. In 1982 Tom Lesard made me promise to return in kind the leadership and mentoring that he so generously provided me with. I had asked him how I could repay him for teaching me how to REALLY interpret dealership financial statements from a management perspective. Tom's life, and those of two passengers, was cut short when the plane he was piloting crashed on approach to the general aviation airport in Kearney Mesa. I know that nobody misses Tom as much as his family, but here it is 25 years later and I am still making a conscientious effort at keeping the promises I made to Tom... Such is the lasting impact of true leaders.

Car makers see end to sales slide
The three biggest car makers in America called a bottom to the long decline in U.S. auto sales as the industry reported its smallest monthly sales drop this year, The Wall Street Journal reports. New-vehicle sales in June fell 28 percent from a year earlier to 860,000 cars and light trucks, according to the market-research firm Autodata Corp. That would be the smallest decline in any month this year. "We believe the industry is moving beyond the bottom," said Bob Carter, group vice president of Toyota Motor Co. in the U.S. "The weak economy's grip on the auto industry appears to be lessening."Kbb.com names most-researched new-vehicles in first-half '09
Kelley Blue Book said the Honda Accord was the most-researched new-vehicles for the first half of 2009. kbb.com is one of the most trafficked automotive research sites with more than 12 million visits per month, so which specific vehicles consumers are checking out on the site has become a leading indicator of sales patterns for manufacturers, Kelley says. Kbb.com's top 20 Most-Researched New Vehicles for First-Half of 2009 had Japanese models taking the first nine spots followed by Ford Mustang and No. 10.Warning issued about 'Cash For Clunkers' online scams
The recent passage of the "Cash For Clunkers" bill has sparked a nationwide wave of interest in the program, which provides up to $4,500 to car-owners who trade in their old "clunker" for a new, more fuel efficient alternative. However, the flood of enthusiasm for the program has led to the emergence of scams targeting car owners looking to benefit from the program. CashForClunkersInformation.org, a consumer information site that has educated the public about the new program since its inception, has issued a warning to consumers and is providing specific instructions on how to avoid scams on their Web sites.GM deadline crucial
The U.S. Treasury Department could stop financing General Motors Corp.'s restructuring, forcing the automaker to liquidate, if a sale of GM's best assets is not approved by July 10, President and CEO Fritz Henderson testified Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, The Detroit News reports. Emphasizing the deadline puts pressure on the court to endorse the sale quickly. The Obama administration set it as a way to ensure that the sale, with so many participants, doesn't fall apart, a person familiar with the matter said. But it is unlikely that the administration would push GM into liquidation, absent a major setback, given that it has agreed to invest $50 billion in the automaker's rescue. During bankruptcy proceedings earlier this month, Chrysler LLC reiterated that it had a firm government deadline to sell its good assets to Italy's Fiat SpA, which helped keep the case on track for a speedy emergence of the new Chrysler Group LLC. Like Chrysler, GM is using Section 363 of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy code, which allows it to divide its assets and sell the best to form a new GM; the bad assets remain in court as part of the old GM to be liquidated.

Manfacturers Even Cut Online Ad Spending in 2008
Ad Age recently published its list of leading national advertisers for last year and the data highlights some interesting trends among automotive manufacturers. Ad spending has been drifting downward for several years, with most manufacturers marking sharp reductions in 2008. Chrysler, Ford, and Hyundai made the deepest cuts (on a percentage basis), reflecting an urgency to save money in a brutal sales environment, while Honda increased spending by almost 2%.
Over the same period, Internet ad spending had been trending up, especially when viewed as a percentage of total spending. But in 2008, even online took a hit as many OEMs slashed budgets across the board.
Ford’s dramatically reduced online spend is notable – clearly, the company pulled back from many online venues. One the other hand, Honda nearly doubled its spending from the year before.
Despite the cuts, these are still huge numbers, as six OEMs each spent over $1 billion on advertising in 2008. But online still seems overlooked by some. Even though these online figures don’t include paid search, Nissan and Hyundai are directing paltry shares of their overall budgets to the medium.
With the economic recession going strong, vehicles sales still in the tank, and two of these seven OEMs dramatically restructuring, it’s likely that 2009 will show even further cuts in ad spending. Whether manufacturers will commit more fully to online spending remains to be seen

Industry Fails to Climb Back to 10-Million SAAR; Culprit Likely Cash For Clunkers
By Bill Visnic
With several industry consultants and analysts predicting U.S. auto sales would exceed a 10-million-unit Seasonally Adjusted Annualized Rate in June - a much-anticipated watershed many believed would signal slumping auto sales are beginning a consistent recovery - the real numbers didn't quite match the optimistic projections.
Instead, June's SAAR not only failed to hit the 10-million mark, the 9.66-million final tally even regressed from May's figure, according to data analysts at Edmunds.com.
One likely (but unintentional) culprit: the new "Cash-for-Clunkers" legislation signed by President Obama on June 24.
Feds: No More Dough if GM Bankruptcy Not Final By July 10
By Bill Visnic
It may not come exactly on the Fourth of July, but the Obama Administration is directly threatening some of its own fireworks - the financial kind - if the ever-quickening pace of General Motors Corp.'s bankruptcy procedure isn't concluded by July 10.
That's barely six weeks since the automaker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 1.
Led by Surging Ford, June Sales Ratcheted Reassuringly
By Dale Buss, Michelle Krebs and Bill Visnic
Automakers expressed more optimism about the U.S. car market despite the fact that overall sales in June fell by 28 percent compared with a year ago, to 859,420 vehicles. That represents only a slight improvement in year-ago comparisons over results for the first five months of this year.
Jesse Toprak, executive director of Industry Analysis for Edmunds.com, characterized the month cautiously. "It means, if nothing else, that things are not getting any worse, although things are not getting that much better, either. There was a lot of volatility, but there were signs of life."
Toprak added that June was "probably the best retail-demand month of the year."
GM Kicks Off Second Half With 72-Hour Sale
General Motors announced a 72-hour sale offering zero-interest financing for 72 months on some 2009 and 2010 models to get the second half off to a quick start.
In addition, GM is promoting its 74 models eligible for the Cash for Clunkers program to kick in later this month.
