The Dealer 5 | October 23, 2014

After two stunning megadealer acquisitions this year, who's next? See what our expert predicts. (Oh, and his most-recent calls were spot on.) 

Kia says it's better than German aristocrats BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. If only everyone else knew, too. The South Korean brand battles the power of perception.

Plans to expand a Lexus store have run into a brick wall. Actually two of them. Preservations oppose razing a pair of old brick garages to make way for redevelopment.

  As consolidation transforms Canadian auto retailing, a U.S. company that buys dealership land and buildings reenters the Great White North.

Well, that didn't last long. CarMax is back posting inventory on AutoTrader.com and Cars.com after a 16-month absence. It may say something about the popularity of third-party shopping sites.
