Jim Ziegler asks...
I am hearing a lot of discussion about True Car and ZAG. I continually scratch my head and wonder if desperate dealers are doing the marketing limbo "How Low Can You Go?"
Are we so bad at what we do that we have to line up and pay vendors to lose money? AND, who is giving these people access to your data that is used against you?
Who owns these companies and what might be their ulterior motive? Sometimes I ask questions to which I already know the answer.
Am I wrong?
What do you think... JIM

Copyright infringement is using a Honda in the AD, to help their cause.
KILL THE BEAST JERRY! Copyright infringement. That's all they got??? You did fair use on a product review of pages they put on the web; a decent 1st Amendment lawyer would hand them an embarrassing loss . . . then, again, how embarrassed they may well be already from tossing copyright infringement at you like Liberace threw a lace doily.
@ LARRY HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

OR.......this part.......
In addition to the steps that could, in theory, be enacted by the manufacturers to stop TrueCar’s attempted commoditization and disruption of our industry, it’s also time for the manufacturers to let the dealers know, we don’t want you sharing information with TrueCar. Manufacturers should be informing dealers to cease/desist the sharing of DMS information with TrueCar – information collection that is being assisted by DealerTrack (thanks to a recent equity deal). Moreover, NADA, should take a more proactive role in protecting the dealer network. Painter has declared his assail on new car dealers, and has raised over $200MM in the process, I think it’s time for the industry to take him seriously.
