NADA Enters the 20th Century and Discovers Video for Websites

Interactive Video Technology Offers Consumers a Compelling Car Buying Experience

EDITOR'S NOTE: Coming a bit more than eleven and a half years after The Auto Channel pioneered streaming video on the Internet, NADA has decided that video may be a good thing for their website. But hey, not everyone thought that automatic transmissions would catch on or that people might actually like to hear sound when they watch a movie. And the really good news is that the "geniuses" that brought Vehix.com to the Internet are the video providers behind NADA video. Great, that's what all Internet users need, more ways to provide car dealers and sales-lead generators with additional ways to have them send you spam.

COSTA MESA, Calif., Oct. 29 -- NADAguides.com, a leading vehicle pricing and information website, today announced the launch of New Car Video Buying Guides at the company's website. The buying guides available at NADAguides.com feature interactive video technology to assist consumers with their new car buying research by offering educational information for all types of vehicles, including Hybrids, Convertibles, Sedans, SUVs, Minivans and Trucks -- in full-color video, complete with narration.

In addition to category-specific information, the video buying guides offer users insight into all types of new car subject matter, including Pricing, Passenger Capacity and Comfort, Fuel Economy, Safety Features and Ratings, Reliability, Styling and Design -- even Cargo Capacity. Included in this information are JDPower.com Power Circle Ratings which provide consumers with the ability to compare models across all segments.

What's more, the Video Buying Guide player is equipped with a Top Vehicles List so users can save and research their favorite vehicles from that list, including accessing new car reviews, comparing their favorites side-by-side with competitive makes and models, viewing interior and exterior photos and 360-degree views -- and the ability to submit a new car purchase request to a local dealer.

"When it comes to buying a car, today's consumers expect a broad range of new car resources at their fingertips," said Don Christy, Jr., President and CEO, NADAguides.com. "NADAguides.com is a full scale vehicle buying, selling, owning and research resource and the addition of our New Car Video Buying Guides is simply another resource for new car shoppers. Information is power and we want our visitors to be as empowered as much as possible when it comes to the new car buying process."

The New Car Video Buying Guides available at NADAguides.com are produced by Vehix, an automotive research and shopping portal that specializes in digital video content for multiple platforms, including the Internet, cable television, on-demand and mobile devices.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Oh, Vehix specializes in "digital video content..." I've been to their website and wondered what, if anything, they specialized in.

The interactive video technology powering the NADAguides.com New Car Video Buying Guides comes from VIMATION, a company that specializes in providing consumers with the ability to directly engage with video to navigate, shop and browse content, while providing brands, publishers and advertisers with a dynamic, online marketing platform. This interactive video platform is known as VIM.
