Interesting new auto web site
The Editor of CarDevotion.com will be veteran automotive journalist Peter Frey. A life-long ‘car guy’ and ex-racing driver, Frey is a former Associate Editor of Motor Trend Magazine and freelance automotive writer for national lifestyle magazines and major newspapers.
“To the delight of enthusiasts everywhere, automotive evolution is stuck on ‘fast forward’ these days," says Frey. “Styling, technology and performance are at a level never before achieved. New kinds of cars are being created, new fuels, hybrid engines, on-board computers and communications, even cars that parallel park themselves. What’s happening in the automotive world these days is just this side of science fiction. The editorial mission of CarDevotion.com is to help consumers, enthusiasts and technology junkies make sense of it all."
CarDevotion.com’s parent company, Dedicated Marketing Solutions, is based in Los Angeles and has quickly become a major player in the online ad industry since it’s inception in 2003. With thousands of branded websites in its ever-growing network, in addition to several exclusive web properties such as CarDevotion.com, Dedicated Marketing Solutions helps advertisers reach their target consumers as cost-effectively as possible. Clients ranging from AT&T and Monster to Kaiser Permanente and Qantas Airlines take advantage of the network’s dedication to effective reach and proven results.
“We’re in a unique position to watch the ebb and flow of trends on the Internet, and it’s clear that customers looking to buy a new car spend hours logged on to the internet researching various vehicles and financing options before they head for the dealership," says Scott Yamano, CEO and co-founder of Dedicated Marketing Solutions. “And that’s the reason for CarDevotion.com. Dedicated Networks has the resources and contacts to provide information about every kind of vehicle on the market today, which dealership has the exact car they want and which finance company has the best deal. Features written by our expert automotive journalists bring additional perspective and the news sections allow customers to plan ahead with information about cars currently being developed that will be on sale in the next few years."
Sections on CarDevotion.com include: “Green Cars" with reviews, features and news about the latest eco-friendly vehicles; “Streets of Tomorrow" which looks into the short- and long-term future of the automobile and “Automotive News" which presents an overview of major developments in the automotive industry. The “Industry Events" section will include lists of upcoming car shows, automaker-sponsored concert tours, driving adventures, traveling technology exhibits and new-vehicle ride-and-drive events.
In addition, CarDevotion.com devotees can enjoy an ever-growing library of exclusive automotive content including 3,000 reviews of both new vehicles and archives dating back more than a decade, as well as original features, and open-to-the-public event listings that range from car shows and technology demonstrations to ride-and-drive programs conducted by auto manufacturers.
Additional sections currently under development include “CustomMotion", focusing on the aftermarket and an Editor’s blog called “View from the Driver’s Seat." CarDevotion’s next evolutionary step will include a focus on streaming video content, including video test drives and podcasts. And the CarDevotion.com online community will provide a flexible resource for enthusiasts to share their devotion to cars with an interactive forum for information and photos, as well as ‘digital classifieds’ that will allow them to buy and sell cars, accessories, and other car-related items and services.
