Really Edmunds?
1). The price drop chart is at the top of the page (i.e. top of mind), this is an ANTI-CALL TO ACTION.

1) It's causing ALL edmunds shoppers to shopper to conclude "if I wait it'll be A LOT cheaper"
2) the lead gen CTA is 100% anti-dealer

Dealers, FYI: by demanding leads, leads, leads, you've help create this.

Joe Pistell critiques Edmunds' vehicle detail page layout, arguing that prominently displaying price-drop charts at the top encourages shoppers to delay purchases rather than contact dealers, while the lead-generation call-to-action is fundamentally misaligned with dealer interests. He contends that dealers' demand for high lead volume has incentivized Edmunds to design anti-dealer features, and proposes that a price-trend chart buried lower on the page would better serve both buyers and sellers by promoting genuine price awareness rather than procrastination.
