You might recall hearing about the Hyundai E4U personal transport vehicle, an egg-shaped model that the automaker showed off at a recent auto show in South Korea. It is certainly a viable alternative to getting around town, but not in the traditional sense. After its debut, we here at Tom Ahl Family of Dealerships were wondering what inspired the model, and now we think we have a better idea.

Each year, Hyundai gives its engineers an opportunity to have a bit of fun and come up with creative concepts at its annual IDEA Festival in Seoul. While the E4U, which…

We believe it's the little things that make the difference, while also making sure the relationship with you doesn't stop once you buy or lease a new vehicle.

As rumors have swirled around the idea of Buick convertible, more fuel was added to the fire at the Geneva Motor Show this March. A vehicle that has many striking similarities to the luxury models you can find at Tom Ahl Family of Dealerships debuted, and has sparked plenty of conversation in the automotive world.

The Opel Cascada was on display for the world to see, but for Americans, they instantly thought of Buick. That's because of the aforementioned similarities, but also the fact that there is already an Opel model that's based on the Buick Regal called…

You should expect more from your vehicle than just being able to get around. A vehicle is a big investment and as such, should provide you with more than just transportation. We feel that many of the new Chryslers in our Lima showroom provide that, which makes us proud to be a Chrysler dealership.

It's not just the current vehicles in our showroom we are amped on. Just recently at the Chicago Auto…

While Tom Ahl Family of Dealerships mostly concerns itself with the sale and service and repair of new Buick models around the greater Lima area, we sometimes love hearing about how they're made as well.

And why's that?

Aside from giving us a better appreciation for the work that goes into creating the latest versions of the Buick Regal and Enclave, it can occasionally serve as a selling point. Whether you're interested in long-lasting dependability, supporting American jobs or even environmental responsibility, there's quite a bit going on behind the scene that stands to win you…

Performance enthusiasts from the greater Lima, Ohio area rejoiced upon hearing that the 2013 Buick Verano would be  offering an optional turbocharged engine under the hood. While the base engine's 180 horsepower is nothing to scoff at, true gear heads love unleashing some untamed ponies on the unsuspecting road. That's precisely what the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine offered in the 2013 version produces 250 horsepower as well as 260 lb.-ft. of torque.

It goes without saying that this new engine choice makes for a fun driving experience. So much so, in fact, that Buick now may be…

As many of you know, automakers release new models in different countries at different times of the year. In the case of Buick, it appears they are prepping to debut the 2014 Buick LaCrosse in China prior to it arriving at Tom Ahl Family of Dealerships. Or, at the very least, the luxury carmaker was caught testing the vehicle there. Either way, we now have new spy photos to enjoy, dissect, and share with you.

For starters, we noticed the updated grille, headlights, and fascia. There are also signature Buick portholes at the top of the hood that help the…

Jeep was responsible for building one of the first off road vehicles ever made. After building vehicles for the military, they produced the first civilian model in 1945. With the Jeeps ability to tackle almost any road or weather condition, it was a favorite of military personal. To celebrate its long standing heritage, Jeep has recently announced a new model dubbed the 2013 Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition. This will be the second model that pays…
