Joe, in your own fashion (why we all love you), you took it deeper than what I was thinking.

"because we’re more like a multi-product catalog than a single product offer, the navigation system needs to be more “robust”." This became the issue as I got deeper into the design. You might see a few resemblances but I'll be limited to design restrictions.

We'll see how it goes.
 

✨ AI Highlights

Dealers and industry professionals debate whether homepage design or the Vehicle Detail Page (VDP) matters more for converting automotive shoppers. The consensus that emerges is clear: the homepage functions like a magazine cover — its job is simply to funnel visitors deeper into the site as quickly as possible, while the VDP is where real conversion work happens, making weak VDP merchandising the costliest mistake a dealer can make. The thread also surfaces the concept of 'HIPPO' (ego-driven design) as a cautionary note, pointing to Amazon and MailChimp as models of task-focused, results-oriented web design over aesthetics.
