ISSUE 68 of Car Dealer Magazine is now ready and waiting for you to download FREE, directly onto your iPad.
November’s issue of Car Dealer is arguably the year’s must-read edition, featuring our Road Test of the Year 2013, where the team drove their top cars up to the Brecon Beacons, and encountered some fantastic roads along the way.
After Proton recorded extremely small sales figures in September, James Batchelor takes a look at the company’s current situation and asks: ‘What’s gone wrong?’
You can now find out about one of the industry’s most vibrant characters and one of Twitter’s most chatty car dealers at that – Sophie meets independent used car dealer, Umesh Samani of Specialist Cars, Stoke.
Also in this issue, we try out the all-new Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, the Audi A3 Sportback and the Infiniti Q50 – the new addition to the European luxury car market.

Road Test of the Year
Our annual road test is never an easy one to call, but this year was the hardest by far. We rounded up our ultimate cars from the past 12 months and travelled up to Wales and the heights of the Brecon Beacons to find out which one captured out hearts. Turn to Page 64 to find out who took the number one spot.
Extreme Showrooms
Among the many thousands of dealerships located across the UK, there are some unique ones that come in different shapes and sizes. We hunt down and contrast our favourite small venues in the very north of Scotland with the rather large and glamorous showrooms in the capital city and south of England.
