Focusing on the Formal Launch of the New 2008 LR2 Into the Dealer Channel, Accessorized With Land Rover Watch Product
DALLAS, TX -- 04/17/07 -- The Tracking Corporation (PINKSHEETS: MIOK) announces their affiliation with Premier Automotive Group Manufacturer, Land Rover Cars North America regarding the Land Rover University LR2 driving school located in Ojai, California. It is designed for their sales guides to become familiar with new product launches to help the dealers stay up-to-date on the newest and latest technology that Land Rover has to offer.
Land Rover University will feature Land Rover Watch, a newly branded Theft Recovery System developed by MicroTRAK GPS, designed exclusively for Premier Automotive Group Manufacturer, Land Rover Cars North America. Land Rover Watch is innovative because it is a specialty product offering comprehensive internet tracking capabilities, instantly tracking and delivering the location of a vehicle.
Land Rover delivers a retail experience that is totally non-traditional, fun, entertaining, enjoyable, honest and most importantly, valuable to the customer. Land Rover sales guides are 4x4 authorities trained at Land Rover University and are enthusiastic and motivated by the love of the Land Rover product.
Commenting on the affiliation, Jerry Grisaffi, CEO of MicroTRAK GPS, INC., said, "To have designed a product superior enough to be featured by Land Rover at one of their state-of-the-art Land Rover University training sessions is an honor we are thrilled to have achieved. To be afforded the ability to purchase an LR2 vehicle accessorized with the Land Rover Watch theft recovery product is a privilege for the entry-level SUV buyer."
According to the company, the Land Rover brand values are individualism, authenticity, freedom, adventure, guts and supremacy. The LR2 is being viewed as a true Land Rover in a concentrated package. Smaller, lighter, and more affordable than the LR3, it appeals to drivers who are downsizing from traditional sport-utility vehicles into the crossover segment of car-like compact-utility vehicles.
Adding an accessory product like Land Rover Watch to the LR2 makes this the vehicle of choice for owners in search of both on-road performance, as well as class-leading off-road ability. Land Rover owners can customize Land Rover Watch to fit their lifestyle and driving preferences while successfully protecting their investment.
Randy Jennings, National Training and Development Manager, said, "This is a unique working relationship. Our blending of the Land Rover product with the Land Rover Watch accessory makes a significant offering to those who want an enhanced driving experience along with unique custom features that add value to their purchase."
