Walser Subaru is the Official Vehicle Sponsor of the Ski Challenge. This is an adult ski program that began in 1985 and has grown to nearly 1700 racers today. For the second year in a row, Walser Subaru held a free kick off event for all participants. At this event, the Teton Gravity Research movie Re:Session was shown and Walser Subaru sold limited edition shirts. All proceeds from the shirt sales went directly to the Special Olympics of Minnesota Ski Programs.
Walser Subaru has been awarded LEED Certification for the construction of our new Subaru dealership in Burnsville. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building was designed and build using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. Developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

Let's face it, as much as we like to think that what people say about us doesn't matter, it does. We did a little research and this is what we found.
What Edmunds.com says - "The 2009 Hyundai Elantra is often overlooked, but it's a roomy and well-built small sedan with surprisingly sophisticated road manners. It is a must drive if you are in the market for an economy car".
US News and World Reports - "The Elantra has a low base price, great fuel economy and some of the most comfortable and spacious seats in a small car. It's also an excellent value, something that helped it win the US News Best Car for the Money Award in the compact car class".
Consumer Guide - "Elantra matches any class rival for the refinement, space and comfort. And it beats most for safety with standard front side airbags, side curtain airbags and ABS. A robust feel, attractive prices and Hyundai's strong warranty also make Elantra a Recommended Pick".
Automobile Magazine - "Hyundai has become a favorite with the kind of people who sharpen their pencils before making a purchase. These days, Hyundai gives them value and quality, not cheapness".
Sound too good to be true? Then maybe seeing is believing, test one and find out for yourself.
