Article Abstract:
Car retailing is undergoing a change in the US and Europe, with manufacturers becoming more responsive to demand, and seeking to produce cars to customers' specification rather than using discounts to sell cars in bulk. Car producers are seeking to cut the time taken between orders and deliveries. Customer relationship marketing is becoming more important, and the Internet is seen as a way of developing links between car producers and customers. Dealers could face pressure as a result of the increasing usage of the Internet.
