Canada
. "I congratulate each one of them for their significant accomplishments, and thank them for their respective contributions to our record-breaking success in 2009."
He added, "While the annual Star Dealers program only recognizes nine dealers, it is very important to note that last year's records could not have been achieved without the combined efforts of the remainder of our dealers and all Mercedes-Benz
Canada
employees. With significant sales growth and high levels of customer satisfaction, we surpassed previously established benchmarks and recorded many milestones throughout the year. Our hard-working team shares an unwavering dedication to the three pointed star, and collectively we will remain clearly focused on providing an unsurpassed ownership experience for customers."
