241 blogs on Cars, no dealers in site.

I'll admit it, I'm on a wild pitch to sell car dealers the use of marketing blogs to increase their monthly sales volume.

In my opinion, within two years, every car dealer out there should have a blog talking about their people, their sales process, their inventory, and their customer feedback. So last week, I went searching for car blogs.

There's the Carpundit. The Auto Prophet. Mark Tapscott. Even Edmunds has a blog. 237 other people do too (although far too many of them don't have RSS feeds).

Not one car dealer in the bunch. What do you think it will take? Will a dealer read about his dealership and look for ways to get his own name out there? Will an enterprising web design firm pitch a blog as a cheaper way connect to the public than a television commercial?

Or will there be an article in Wards Auto telling dealers that blogs are the wave of the future? (paid registration required).
