Survey Shows that Online Consumers Talk About Your Dealership

Yahoo! Autos recently commissioned J.D.Power & Associates to determine the online habits of auto shoppers. The survey revealed that 85 percent of online shoppers consider consumer-generated content to have significant relevancy in their quest for purchasing a new vehicle.

The full details of the study were presented at the J.D. Power and Associates Automotive Internet Roundtable in Las Vegas from Nov. 1 to Nov. 3 so if you had the chance to review this information then your comments here are encouraged.

According to the article on AutoRemarketing about the survey, ratings and reviews on actual carlines are what generate the most activity with online shoppers, but auto-enthusiast sites, online forums/message boards, blogs and question and answer sites are also growing in popularity.
