EDINA, Minn. — Walser Automotive Group announced this week that it has completed the acquisition of Wichita Luxury Collection (WLC). WLC will add 10 luxury brands — which include Acura, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Porsche and AMG — to Walser's existing 15 franchises, according to the company. 

"The Wichita Luxury Collection offers a unique luxury experience unlike any other in the retail automotive arena," said Paul and Andrew Walser, CEOs of Walser Automotive Group.
