In 1993 they sold the Honda franchise and replaced it with Subaru. Since taking on the line, Subaru sales have been hot, steamy hot, Beylouni says.

It s high quality and every car has all-wheel drive. In October of 1999 the Beylouni s added Mitsubishi and opened it from scratch, he says. The closest dealer was in White Plains, I thought there was a need for the product, and I wanted another import agency. The three dealerships employ 118 people in sales, the shop, the office and our huge parts departments, he says. Despite a softening in the automotive market around the country, sales remain healthy at the Beylouni s three dealerships, he says.
