AV--WOW, you provide very powerful comments. Thanks for the feedback. I guess it will not be as simple as I made it out to be. But the concept does have some promise. My brother always orders his new cars and tries to track its progress through the process. I understand everything you have stated and maybe the internet purchasing of cars will not consume the delaerships but you have to admit there is a segment of the market that would jump on this since they already do it in another way. What I find most interesting are the logistics and planning issues you commented on. I guess "build to order" might have some serious problems in the auto industry. Not as easy as it seems.<G> Andrew

Pardon me for butting in. Henry said years ago "they can have any color as long as it's black"so perhaps the on line market will homogenize our taste buds for cars just as MacD has done for hamburgers! regards Will
