Car makers are working to transform themselves into consumer-focused companies, and the Web is a great channel for facilitating that change.

The cost to an individual selling a car is modest; the company charges $25 to list a vehicle, regardless of price or style, and if it sells, the company charges an additional $25.

The United States remains a uniquely outstanding place to build cars and trucks, which is why Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have invested heavily in U.S. factories.
Because so many Japanese cars, trucks and engines are now produced in the United States, increased U.S. sales of Japanese brands has not meant increased U.S. imports of Japanese vehicles and parts.
So far this year, sales of cars and light trucks are down 5 percent for GM and 4 percent for Ford, but they are also down 5 percent for Mercedes Benz, 24 percent for Volkswagen and 15 percent for Mitsubishi.
