What's the news?
A new Citroen dealership has opened on the Whitechurch Road, in Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin. It is part of the Fort Motors Group, which was established in 1959 by Cyril Molloy and is today managed by his sons, Cyril and Paul. The new dealership gives Citroen an important presence in the south Dublin area. Citroen Ireland has sought to fill some of the geographical holes in its dealer network, and this brings the number of sales dealers in the Dublin area to three.
Speaking at the contract signing, Pat Ryan, Managing Director, Citroën Ireland, commented, "We are delighted to appoint Citroën South Dublin as our latest addition to our growing Network. It is a very exciting time to join the Citroën Brand with the 100-year anniversary taking place in 2019 and the highly anticipated Citroën C5 Aircross and New Generation Berlingo launching later this year. We are really looking forward to working together with Cyril, Paul and all the team to serve many current and new Citroën customers in South Dublin over the coming years."
Cyril Molloy, Dealer Principal, Citroën South Dublin said, "We are excited at the opportunity which the Citroën range of cars and vans holds for the South Dublin area. Our understanding of this local market has been built over almost 60 years, and we are confident that the Citroën brand will resonate with motorists here on a number of fronts, not least its individualism and contemporary styling."
Anything else?
Citroen revamped its C4 Cactus earlier this year by adding plush new suspension and some other revisions that see it merge with the now discontinued C4 to become a hatchback rival for the likes of the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. In addition to this, it recently introduced its new Berlingo, which comes as a people carrier and a commercial vehicle.
