Chair’s Column
OPENING THE DOORS TO 2011
Here we are in a new year and while business improved in 2010, as new car dealers we
still face many ongoing challenges. Even in the face of those challenges, though, dealers have found ways to survive and, yes, many have found ways to thrive. This makes it
only that much more impressive that Colorado dealers are of the highest quality through
involvement in our businesses, communities and our association’s priorities.
Thanks to all the dealers and key dealership employees who contributed to Colorado’s
success with DEAC in 2010. We have tremendously effective associations in NADA
and CADA. Through these associations we as dealers open the doors and of halls of the
Capitol and of Congress. Yet we as dealers have the keys to those doors. Our
many legislative and regulatory successes come as a result of our support
for our associations. That support can include both our time and
our money.
Don Gerbaz
CADA Chair
When CADA
arranges meetings
with legislators,
it only takes
at most a couple
hours of our time
to show up
and provide the
support that
makes the
relationship
building so
much more
meaningful.

The relationships that are built in Washington and the Colorado Capitol are important
to our businesses, paying ongoing dividends by promoting understanding of our industry by legislators. When it comes to getting the work done that leads to our legislative
and organizational success, there are those dealers who are always there to help pull the
wagon (association). And there are the others who are always in the wagon being pulled.
Our goal is to involve more dealer members in helping pull the wagon. When CADA arranges meetings with legislators, it only takes at most a couple hours of our time to show
up and provide the support that makes the relationship building so much more meaningful. Between DEAC and the time given to let legislators know what is happening in our

NADA plans to submit comments this month to the Environmental Protection Agency on its October decision to allow
the sale of fuels with up to 15 percent ethanol. NADA and several other organizations, including the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers Inc., have opposed the move saying
allowing the sale of E-15 “gasohol” poses a risk of reduced engine and fuel system performance, or worse yet, permanent
damage. For several years, most light- and medium-duty, gasoline-engine motor vehicles sold and serviced by dealerships have been
GHVLJQHGWRDFFRPPRGDWHJDVRKROEOHQGVFRQWDLQLQJDPD[LPXPRISHUFHQWHWKDQROZLWKVRPHGXHODQGÁH[LEOHIXHOHGYHKLFOHV
designed to use E-85, a gasohol blend containing 85 percent ethanol. “NADA consistently has raised concerns about the negative
impact that unreasonable fuel mandates and poor fuel quality can have on vehicle performance and customer satisfaction,” says Doug
Greenhaus, director of Environment, Health and Safety for NADA Regulatory Affairs. “NADA opposes rules which may result in the
use of fuels in engines for which they were not designed.”
