It’s only April, but manufacturers are already introducing 2009 model cars with sophisticated website advertising. Stepped up television schedules will probably follow, but for the moment buyers can search the web for just about anything they want to know about the 2009 models.

The early 2009 lineup includes the Lincoln MKS, the Nissan Maxima, the Cadillac CTS-V, the Subaru Forester, the Honda Pilot and the Toyota Venza. According to their imagemakers, they’re all "all new."

The multimedia technologies demonstrated in their websites, like the auto engineering they are advertising, were just dreams a few years ago. They now suggest that the Internet must have been made for advertising cars.
