  AUSTIN, TX, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Only a few weeks since the Austin, Texas, dealership opened, John Eagle
European is among the top dealers for Aston Martin and Bentley cars. As
the 36th Aston Martin dealership to open in North America and the 40th
Bentley dealership in the United States, the beautiful new addition to
Austin has exceeded the expectations of both these storied British
automakers. John Eagle European officially opened its doors on May 15,
2009, on Research Boulevard.

    "Austin is a beautiful, sophisticated city that matches the elegant
character of the wonderful bespoke cars from Aston Martin and Bentley,"
stated Sonny Morgan, dealer principal and co-owner of John Eagle European.
"The response to these automobiles after our recent opening has been
fantastic. Though we exceeded our expectations in terms of sales, the
number of cars available will continue to be limited. Thus, our clients
will be part of an exclusive group of people with the finest automobiles."

    John Eagle European opened in a new state-of-the-art 10,000 sq. ft.
showroom with dedicated service facility, located on Research Boulevard,
to the North of the city. Economic stability, growth potential and extreme
wealth per capita were the leading factors in bringing the dealership to
Austin

    In its first month of operation, John Eagle European earned a ranking of
third in the country for Aston Martin sales and fifth for sales of Bentley
motor cars. If John Eagle European matches its projections, the dealership
will be among the top 10 Aston Martin, Bentley and Lotus dealerships in
the United States for 2009.

    The Aston Martin range of handcrafted high performance sports cars include
the flagship DBS, elegant DB9 and iconic V8 Vantage. Vehicles from Bentley
are the Arnage, Azure convertible, Continental GT and GT Speed coupe,
Continental Flying Spur, Flying Spur Speed sedan, Continental GTC
convertible, Azure T, GTC Speed and Continental Supersports. The
dealership also offers Lotus sports cars and recently introduced the new
Envora model to central Texas.

    "We brought this unique dealership to the hill country based on demand for
Aston Martins over the past several years in the Austin area from our
Dallas location," noted Morgan. "The sales from our first day have
demonstrated the wisdom of the decision to offer Astons, as well as
Bentleys and Lotus cars at this new dealership. We're pleased that the
people of central Texas have embraced our selection of special motorcars."

    With museum-inspired design and flawless attention to detail, John Eagle
European is the pinnacle of elegance. From travertine floors to rich
woods, the dealership is divided into areas dedicated to the heritage of
each of the British marques. From Internet access to satellite TV on
plasma screens, a kitchen and a private conference area, the dealership is
as beautiful and inviting as the cars inside.
