Comment the article needs a total revamp and a good scrubbing to remove the promotional tone. It seems to be well known in the auto industry. Ohconfucius (talk) 14:01, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Keep and totally overhaul. You can tell when articles were written by marketers as it's impossible to tell what the bloody organisation actually does. As far as I can fathom it allows car companies to talk to each other and sell things to each other online, or in jargon it's an "automotive eMarketplace", or a "B2B online exchange". It seems it started off as a supposedly neutral auction site after wranglings about whether it broke anti-trust laws, took forever to get a CEO, then got bought, thought about and balked at an IPO, and finally went into the online healthcare business.

Keep but clean up -- This sounds like a notable company, but it is an extremely spammy article, and full of abbreviations and jargon that mean nothing to the general reader. I have just given it a valid category and removed the "locations" section, which is better dealt with by using a link to the company website, which will certainly be maintained.
