Over on the SUV side, check out our reviews of the stunning new BMW X5 xDrive35i, Hyundai Santa Fe XL and top-of-the-line Honda Odyssey Touring. To help you with your full driving needs, one of our own resident marketing coordinators weighs in with his top driving apps for your smartphone, and our OpenRoad parts experts guide us with their top-five must-haves and tips for winter parts and accessories. On the people side we’re pleased to feature BC’s minister of education, The Honourable Peter Fassbender, and his sporty new MINI Cooper that he affectionately calls The MINIster. In his previous role as mayor of the City of Langley, we could not have had a better partner in building The Langley Auto Collection into what it is today. Just ask our project director, Moe Saboune, who carries the day-to-day responsibilities for construction and project management. We have a staff spotlight feature on Moe, his OpenRoad projects and his passion as a world-class dragon boat racer, too. Sometimes it feels like our auto group is on a fast track with our expansion and growth plans. Moe lives it every day and so do all 600 of our staff associates. And sometimes the pace is dizzying, but it’s all part of our quest at OpenRoad to find a better way to serve the needs of our guests. As we enter a new year, thank you for being part of the OpenRoad family, and for helping us to deliver on our quest.
