Nashville, TN (PRWeb) January 31, 2007 -- Dealerskins, a division of Dominion Dealer Solutions and a leading provider of websites and advanced multimedia technology to the automotive industry, announced today the launch of Autobahn, a next generation online inventory display tool designed from the car buyer's perspective. The new tool offers users the most intuitive way to find vehicles. Autobahn makes it faster and easier for dealership website visitors to view more inventory, with fewer clicks and more search options. Visitors can rapidly filter through hundreds of inventory vehicles, find the exact car they seek, and submit a lead to the dealer.

The "Specials" link is generally the second most frequently clicked link on dealer web sites, after inventory.

"Our goal is to provide the richest and most effective interface available for the display and sale of vehicles online. We have also made it as flexible as possible, so both dealers and their customers can tailor the experience to make it the best possible fit for specific search needs, " Madel added.
