Web sites are software, right?
Why do all car manufacturers' web sites SUCK so hard? Is there some law
of nature that they have to be designed by crack-head donkey-botherers?
All I want, please Mr. Volkswagen/Peugeot/Mercedes/whoever, is to find
where my local dealer is. I don't want your flash intro, or your quirky
tune, i'm not interested in diplomatic sales or your racing team or your
apprenticeship scheme or wireframe drawings of your engines. I want to
type my postcode and for your website to say "thankyou your
marvellousness, please go to FOO, their address is BAR, the nearest
station is BAZ, the number QUUX bus stops outside, and here's a map
showing where the dealer is and your postcode". A map, with all the
streets on, with their names, like what I can get at streetmap.co.uk,
not just the main roads, no fancy 3d buildings drawn on it. Just a map.
Which I can use to find the fucking place and spend vast quantities of
money.

You are so cynical. And by "cynical", of course, I mean "correct".
