AutoNation wants to instill patriotic fervor in the fickle car-buying public. The brainchild of entrepreneur and ex-chairman Wayne Huizenga (Waste Management, Blockbuster Video), AutoNation is the #1 car dealer in the US (ahead of Penske Automotive Group and Group 1 Automotive). The firm owns more than 300 new-vehicle franchises in 15 states, and it conducts online sales through AutoNation.com and individual dealer Web sites. AutoNation operates under different brands in local markets (including Mike Shad in Jacksonville, Florida, and Go in Colorado). In addition to auto sales, AutoNation provides maintenance and repair services, sells auto parts, and finances and insures vehicles.
