Ok the weekly specials...kind of a hassle to have to download a pdf why cant that be in the website itself. Looking at the code of the website might not want to use tables as it is the old method of making websites and it is sortof deprecated. The site isnt too complicated either making it in divs and css would not appear to be very hard. Your html can not be validated by W3C validator because it has no character encoding. Also no doctype on the page you mention the xmlns which would suggest you wanted to use the XHTML doctype, but you never actually put it in. Other than that the site is very bland but it doesnt need to be anything special.

Oh another quick thing. I think the space displaying the weather would be much better served putting someting more informative about the company. Your selling cars not a weather station.

That is very true plus where it says click here for more details it is not a hyperlink.

One more quick tip:

You need to make your flash at the top a couple of pixels bigger width ways so that it fills the border that is around it.

Overall I really like your design. It might be to your advantage to slow down the content rotation of the pictures. I find it a little disctrating to have things change right after ariving at your site.

If you make the top picture narrower like a landscape it might be able to draw people into the page better. I know there have been time when I will give a page a good 2 or 3 seconds just because of a good landscape picture.

On the bottom of the page I would rotate the automobile. It's prime realestate, whey have it be dominated by a single vehicle.

Hope this helps
