Power and luxury take centre stage with new Ford and Lincoln models on display at Qatar Motor Show 2017.
Almana Motors Company (AMC), the exclusive distributor for Ford and Lincoln in Qatar, is attracting a large number of visitors and car enthusiasts to its stand where it is showcasing the latest Ford muscle cars and trucks such as the latest edition of the Ford Mustang Shelby, as well as luxury Lincoln models.
AMC will also roll out two models of the F-150, the most popular truck in the US for the past 40 years. Similarly, the limited edition Shelby F-150 pick-up and the all-new and improved F-150 Raptor are under the spotlight.
For those seeking a slice of luxury from their drive, AMC is displaying the all-new 2017 Lincoln Continental and the Lincoln MKZ, which provides an additional bonus of the
versatility of a crossover.
“Lincoln and Ford are two iconic brands and we are honoured to be able to showcase the latest models to loyal followers of the brands, while attracting new audiences at such a prestigious event as Qatar Motor Show,” said AMC general manager Ian Partridge.
“This is an important date on the calendar for Almana Motors Company. Supporting this event and the automotive industry in Qatar is crucial to our development and growth. The interaction with visitors is key for us as we seek to drive new customers to our showrooms, while keeping our loyal customers up to date with the latest models.”
Speaking to Gulf Times on the sidelines of the event, Partridge was optimistic in giving his forecast for 2017 as retail sales in Qatar “went up 50% over the past year.”
“From a retail perspective, we grew our market share over the course of the year. And we’re very pleased with our achievements and with what we’ve set out to do to make the business more profitable for us to be able to give back to our customers.
“Among the significant things we’ve looked at is customer satisfaction, which is why in the last 12 months, we have become the number one dealer on Ford sales in the GCC, the Middle East, and Africa,” Partridge pointed out.
