www.acura.com sucks...

i gotta say, as much as I love acura cars, www.acura.com does suck, there is no comparison to other sites, bmw.com, mb.com, lexus.com, even impreza-wrx.com... the so-called "My Acura" that requires login really does not do any extra or fancy, and I don't that much useful information out of it. They need lot of work.

when you type in wrong login for My Acura, and it will take you to:

http://www.acura.com/myacura/mya_sorry.asp

then click on the "try again" link, see what you get... i bet put the login for development machine server...

i didn't mean car comparison... i meant in terms of graphic/design/ui/content, there is no comparison to other websites... I am not so much bashing... just that a website says a lot about the cars... i just think our acura cars deserve a much better website.

agree?

I agree. But I think the Lexus & MB sites need work too.

The BMW USA site however is MINT... it deserves every award it has won.

Personally, I hope they spend all available cash on the car's development, not the website.

well, not just websites... just look at TV commercial, we all have to admit that Bimmer, MB, and VW all have better commercials, those commercials make you wanna get up and buy the car right the way... I saw the new GS400 commercial: the GS400 races against 540 on the cliffy mountain road, GS400 is ahead, and when they approach a deadly cliff, GS400 stops in seconds, and then the camera angle switches, all you can see is the GS400 on the top of mountain next to the cliff, and next to it, a pair tire tracks leading off the cliff... it was hilarious... yeah, make me wanna get the GS400...

just some thought...

I'll agree with you on the commercial thing, the Acura ones suck.... One of my favorites is the Infinity, can't remember if it's the I30 or J30, but it's the one with the car (in silver) driving across the desert with all the lightning. Sick commercial.....

You get what you "pay" for in the IT industry, B- candidates design fuc*ed web sites ! Acura didn't pay worthy bucks for a award winning web site !

Websites don't sell car, well not really for Acura. Commercials do.

I thought Acura was doing so well?

I make everyone shut up when a Nissan commercial is on, they have the BEST music and the BEST ways of showing the cars off.

someone should write an email/inquiry to acura... i guess not to their webmaster, they would probably dig a deep hole and bury our inquiries into the abyss... maybe to their marketing group...
