Why does the Acura Website SUCK donkey BALLS ???

I can’t get over it.
Multi-million dollar company and they don’t even update the site regularly.
You need a Press Password to get to the “News Release” section and they don’t have a single thing about the 6-Speed even though it was officially announced on January 4th.

Now there’s a TWO PAGE AD in the new magazines directing you to the site that tells you NOTHING about the new car.

SAD. :thumbsdn: :thumbsdn: :thumbsdn:

And…it’s SLOOOOOOOOOOOW.
Even at work with my fast connection, it seems to take forever to “build your own” car.

And they wonder why sales are suffering.
This can't be helping.

I discovered a small mention of the 6MT on there. Go to the site abou the Jazz Fest they sponsor, and they talk about a CL 6MT being there. Its small, but at least they acknowledge its existence. http://www.acura.com/aboutacura/abo_event_jazz.asp

If you guys think www.acura.com is bad, you should swing over to the Canadian site -

http://english.acuracanada.ca/default2.asp

It looks like someone's personal homepage....

All three dallas dealerships changing. Goodsen is already finished. David McDavid is in the middle, and Vandergriff is just starting. It is a good thing, because they all used to look like hairy donkey balls used car lot..

McGrath in Glenview is building a new dealer down Waukuegan in Morton Grove. Should be interesting to see how it turns out...

I agree. The site TOTALLY blows ass.


Its just a POOR design, with pics that have WAAAY too high resolution and a SHIT load of graphics.


It has so much on each page that it won't matter what connection speed you have.


Acura, here us out and change that GOD AWFUL website!!!

btw, did I just own page 2.?

My dealer is running Sales and Service operations out of a trailer at the front of the property. They left the current service shop intack, but are adding to it. The showroom, sales office and everything else, has been razed, and is being redone.
