2. HISPANICS PURCHASED $13.8 BILLION IN NEW
VEHICLES THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF 2012
The Hispanic contribution to New Vehicle sales from
January to June 2012 was $13.8 billion; this figure
represents approximately $28 billion on an estimated
projected annual basis.
Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Chevrolet and Ford were the
top five brands preferred by Hispanic consumers during
that time period.
Hispanic consumers are as likely to buy Japanese
midsize sedans as they are to purchase small, fuel-
efficient American cars, according to Polk, and are as
attracted to Ford F-series pickups as they are to
Chevrolet Silverado’s and Ram trucks.

compacts, midsize cars, compact crossovers.
These segments are setting the stage for the

16. ?Hispanic customers are the largest ethnic segment of the Chevrolet buyer profile
?43.2% of Riverside’s population is Hispanic
?Los Angeles is the nations largest population center of Hispanics
?Los Angeles is the #1 DMA market for national Chevrolet sales to Hispanics
?Chevrolet has an ongoing relationship with the Hispanic car buyer
?Hispanics purchased $13.8 Billion in new vehicles in the first 6 months of 2012
Based on city research, demographics and buying characteristics, Encore Media can safely
conclude that with Riverside’s large Hispanic population, there is significant Hispanic buying
clout in the county and the surrounding zip codes to the dealership. We therefore recommend
that a regular and sustainable Hispanic branding program be launched to reach Spanish
speaking car buyers to invite them to the dealership. By doing so, Singh Chevrolet will receive
a significant boost in leads, sales, community support and long-term future profits.
