E-Cars E-Commerce:

"In the end I predict there will be Four E-Cars E-Commerce Companies,
and they will be aligned with the Four major Media Networks".
-Crystal ball May 27, 1999.

E-Cars E-Commerce:
Because the World Economy is built on Oil and Cars and Advertising, because 52% of all classified advertising revenue in the United States is Automotive advertising, and because the Internet Companies are built on these solid economic models (one way or another):

It seems logical e-volution to list E-Cars E-Commerce together:

Starting with the Publicly Traded Stocks:

ABTL autobytel.com
AWEB autoweb.com
NVDC navidec.com

Affiliates, Wholly owned subsidiaries:

NVDC driveoff.com
NVDC 1000 planned dealerships through I.A.D.M.A.
"Internet Automobile Dealerships and Marketing Association"
NVDC carwizard.com
NVDC cbs.carwizard.com
NVDC leasesource.com
NVDC uswheels.com
NVDC arizonawheels.com
NVDC coloradowheels.com
NVDC metroplexwheels.com
NVDC northwestwheels.com
NVDC oklahomawheels.com
NVDC kcwheels.com
NVDC utahwheels.com
NVDC socalwheels.com
NVDC bayareawheels.com
NVDC upstatewheels.com
NVDC goldcoastwheels.com
NVDC lasvegaswheels.com
NVDC southfloridawheels.com
NVDC trianglewheels.com

Media and Affinity Internet Sites:

NVDC @ cbs.com
NVDC @ excite.com Autos Channel
NVDC @ netscape.com
NVDC @ webcrawler.com
NVDC @ prodigy.com

Who is aligned with the following:
.....@ abc.com
.....@ fox.com
.....@ nbc.com

Followed by Private Companies, Start ups, and "IPO Wannabees":

"Utah" automallusa.com = Private Inc,
"DELL" cardirect.com =(DELL, Michael)
MSFT carpoint.com

Manufacturers Websites Advertised in the Media:
GM gmbuypower.com
FORD ford.com

Investor Trivia that is not so trivial:

ABTL autobytel.com the World's first online automobile purchasing network, but third to file an IPO;

NVDC navidec.com the World's first online automobile purchasing network to file an IPO, provides financing online with BankOne (ONE) the second largest automobile lender in the United States.

Lets talk: and get scientific metrix (measured data) to predict who the winners will be. This subject is open to all discussion, rumors, opinions and "Educated" guesses. Disclose when you are right, and disclose when you guess wrong, and be helpful, and mindful in the market.

Initial Discussion for E-Cars E-Commerce?

.....Model 1: Dealerships (Brick and Mortar) are here to stay.
[Compare Amazon.com AMZN with Borders BGP and Barnes and Noble BNBN]

.....Model 2: Dealerships are Dinosaur History.
[Compare DELL, Gateway Computers GTW, FederalExpress FDX, etc.]

.....Model 3: Design your own car. [Compare to Lands End, Levis etc.]

I predict Model 1 will win out and so will the E-Cars E-Commerce models built this way on the internet, (although I don't like it, its practical, especially for repairs and returns)[Don't tell this to Kodak or they will take away those handy disposal cameras I like]
