Amazon gives green light to car site
Online retailer Amazon.com is branching out once again. Amazon has announced that it will launch an online car store this week in conjunction with Greenlight.com. As previously reported, the new store, which Amazon will launch later this week, will come in the form of a tab on Amazon's site that will link to Greenlight, an online car seller. The co-branded site will be similar to Amazon's health and beauty store run by Drugstore.com. "We're excited to be involved in this emerging industry online," Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos said in a statement. While Amazon continues to move well beyond its bookseller roots, its still unclear whether online shoppers have noticed. A recent report by Sanford C Bernstein analyst Faye Landes noted that Amazon customers continue to see the company as a retailer of media products -- books, videos and CDs-rather than of a wider array of merchandise.In arrangement with India.CNET.com Copyright © 2000 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
