Free coffee for winners in the Honda CR-V test drive
Last week saw the first of the all new 2012 Honda CR-V's arrive into Bowater Honda on the corner of Rutherford and Hardy Street's. The Honda CR-V is huge in the SUV market, and a brand new model with an evolution of features and styling will always be an exciting moment for any dealership.
We have been running a radio promotion inviting locals to come down and take the Honda CR-V for a test drive. The first ones to get behind the wheel over the next couple of weeks all win a gift.
On Friday Gabriel Floares and Ana Giselle stopped by the showroom early on a frosty morning to take a test drive, and won a Pomeroy's Coffee voucher from the giftbox for their time.
If you have heard our latest Honda CR-V radio commercial then you will know all about this and may already have your test drive booked in.
If not then you need to read on.
Come & meet the all new Hyundai i30
The all new Hyundai i30 has arrived at Bowater Hyundai and we would like to invite you to come down and get to know it. This small car represents an entirely new level of sophistication for the compact car market.
This Friday and Saturday we are launching the i30 to Nelson - come down, take a look at this stunning car, and take it for a test drive.
The all new i30 sports some amazing new features that make this little car very unique.
We have found this great video posted by Hyundai Australia as they launch this car to their market.
Kelly flys high in the Motueka Prius Challenge
Meet Kelly Barclay, our youngest competitor and now on top of the list at the Motueka stage of the Prius Challenge!
Kelly is a pilot from Motueka and really enjoyed driving this little 'green machine'. He is looking forward to the moment that they are going to use similar techniques in his own industry.
For him this first introduction to hybrid automotive technology and the "prius driving style" definitely left him wanting more.
Far from boaring at the Wakefield Hotel Hunt.
Living at the top of the South Island is quite a treat. There are no two ways about it, it is amazing. The sunshine capital of NZ and one of the places that New Zealander's, and the rest of the world for that matter, love to visit.
Not only do we have access to some of the best scenery in the world, but, if you are that way inclined, you also have quite easy access to the wild animals that inhabit all of these amazing expanses of the great outdoors.
Of course you are going to need quite the vehicle to get you, your gear and your dogs out and about way out the back. It seems that locally that vehicle of choice is the unbreakable, cyclone riding, boar bulldozing Toyota Hilux.....of any vintage!
Last weekend Bowater Toyota went along to the 2nd Annual Wakefield Hotel Boar & Stag Hunt. With a carpark full to overflowing with Toyota Hilux's we thought it only fair we stick our nose in and chat to those that use our trucks like they were designed to be used - out in the back blocks going hard out.
We also organised some Top To Bottom Puffer Jackets for the major prize winners, a few bevvies and a $500 Fuel Voucher as a prize draw for one lucky punter in the crowd on the night.
We took lots of photos (scroll down or "continue reading" to see the gallery), chatted to lots of hunters and their mates, and gave away quite a bit of gear.
That's how we roll at Bowater Toyota :-)
