How AutoTrader.com went abroad.

angle ∙ European automobiles are known for their brilliant engineering and aesthetic.

Really? 'For Sale' signs are still black squares with knockout orange type?
Worked for your dad; but that doesn't work for the instant gratification, passive aggressive generation. Sellers are already listing their cars on AutoTrader.com. Why not leverage those users (and entice potential ones) with tools to get their vehicles sold smarter and faster?
These AutoTrader.com-branded For Sale signs are seller print-outs that give an at-a-glance of those need-to-know factoids on the given vehicle. Our mobile site will allow users to scan the printed barcode to geo-tag the vehicle and pull up its listing, so they may contact the seller, view the vehicle in further detail or save it in their dream garage for further consideration.
Smart, right?
