The media recently featured three very favorable articles on the people who lead and staff the Washington area automobile business.

Jack Pohanka of Pohanka Automotive Group was interviewed in “The Dealer Speaks” feature in the March 20 issue of Automotive News. A Washington area icon, Pohanka's chain of 14 stores, which was founded in 1919, is the oldest dealership group in the Washington, DC, area that has remained under the same family ownership. Pohanka was the first US auto dealer to sell both “foreign” and domestic vehicles and the guy who invented the term “megadealer.” His distinguished resume also includes founder and chairman of the Capital Automotive REIT, founder of the National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), former NADA chairman (1976), after he chaired WANADA (1968). It is an interview not to be missed.
