Worst Websites Ever!

I've found Lexus dealer sites to be frustrating. Keep getting redirected to something put together by the OEM folks and I just want to see some new cars (at your store). Is that too much to ask for?

Chris, When it comes to eCommerce, they are the laughing stock of the Luxury manufactures. You know that BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Infiniti have to think that is a joke. Who has cartoon pictures of their vehicles on their website? From what I have heard, this is all dictated by the Dealer Council. I picture those meetings as something like group counselling at the asylum.

When I was still in the store, Lexus mandated the removal of inventory from websites. The small stores were complaining that the big stores had an unfair advantage, so Lexus nixed inventory from all sites.

Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Infiniti have stores in smaller markets. They were going to put the dealership's cars plus the cars from dealerships that they trade with (trading partners) but that hasn't happened.
