Lexus Santa Monica, was honored last week in the dealership’s historical showroom for being the #1 Lexus Hybrid dealer in the world.   Lexus Santa Monica sold 420 Hybrids in 2009 (one out of every 5 sales) and was presented with the Hybrid sales title by Lexus Corporate’s Western Region General Manager Steve Hearne.

"Lexus is proud to recognize Lexus Santa Monica as the world's top Hybrid sales dealership in 2009. Lexus Santa Monica and the LAcarGUY organization lead the automobile industry by not only increasing the hybrid footprint on the road but also through their business choices motivated by their commitment to the environment. Partnering with organizations focused on sustainability, recycling, and reducing waste, the team at Lexus Santa Monica supports a long lasting positive impact on the world. Lexus appreciates the leadership, impact and social responsibility of Lexus Santa Monica."

 LAcarGUY owner, Mike Sullivan, on being the Hybrid leader, "We are pleased, and proud of our leadership position. Being engaged in helping the environment is a full, very real commitment. Whether it is training my team of employees, solar paneling my home, or active involvement with various local environmental groups we work with(I’d remove these blue words), we try to genuinely walk the walk. Being the hybrid and clean diesel leader, is a nice reward."

 Mike Sullivan’s LAcarGUY family of dealerships includes 10 dealerships and the LAcarGUY Body Shop. The LAcarGUY(I’d lose LAcarGUY here) group is the #1 hybrid dealer in the nation leading the way in Toyota Hybrids, as well as Lexus.  In addition, the LAcarGUY group is heavily invested in local green charities and environmental event sponsorships in Santa Monica, the South Bay and Hollywood including EMA, Global Green, Tree People, Sustainable Works and Heal the Bay.  Internal investments include a employee-based “Green Team”, reduction of our corporate carbon footprint and soon, LAgreencarGUY.com focusing on green cars.
