SAN FRANCISCO The online shopping phenomenon is forcing almost every retail marketer to reexamine and revamp its on-site offerings to lure consumers away from their computers. The problem is especially acute for the auto industry, in which three-quarters of buyers prefer to shop on the Web, per Yahoo research.
