		<description><![CDATA[This post question was actually from Julie Powers who is the Marketing Department for the Lia Auto Group Group. I think it is a great topic and decided to add it to this blog. Julie's original post was on LinkedIn and I thought that there should be some more conversation about it for her.
My response is included so please get in on this one with your comments.]]></description>
