Thanks for the research.  In my dealer days I looked at home pages, VLPs, VDPs, About, and Specials pages on my desktop when visiting other dealer sites.  Those were the things I cared about then. 


Since becoming a civilian, I skip the home page, try to turn off all the location-allowing bullshit as fast as possible, check the VLP to play with the filters and skim for payment plugins, open an interesting car to look at photos, then look at the service scheduler all on my iPhone.  If the experience sucks, I may look at the desktop version. 


Things are always better on desktop because that's what dealers are looking at their own site on.  83% of shoppers are looking at the mobile site, so that's how I look too.
