Who Will Win the Comment Battle?
Welcome back to our weekly comment showdown! Every week we place a robotic comment against our handwritten custom car descriptions and see who comes out on top. So who will come out on top this week? An auto-generated comment or our descriptions that were written by humans? Only time will tell.
This week, the car we are comparing is a 2016 Lexus RC 200t.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen a Lexus RC with running boards, not to mention, that the robot in question spelled “running” wrong. As you may remember from our post The True Cost of Bad Car Descriptions, using all caps is perceived as yelling on the internet, and will not get you taken seriously. There are quite a lot of areas in this car comment that are written in all caps. Alongside this extremely common mistake, the robot also made the error of placing commas after other punctuation.
Now, let’s take a look at a handwritten comment from one of our Territory Managers.
Our 2016 Certified Lexus RC 200t now includes 2 Years Unlimited Mileage Warranty on top of the new car factory warranty Every L/Certified vehicle also comes with a complimentary scheduled maintenance program for 2 Years or 20000 Miles. Additionally, 24/7 Roadside Assistance and Trip Interruption Protection are included. Don’t forget our special financing or leasing options available, just ask us for Details!

Our handwritten comment soars miles above the robotic description. It is elaborate, eloquent, and tells a story. After reading the three short paragraphs, you have a clear image in your head of what awaits you inside this Lexus without having to look at the pictures.
As you can see from the grading chart above, Dealer Assist Now received 10/10 while The Other Guys only earned 4/10 giving the robots their highest score to date. While the robot tried its best, there is no true competition against a human. Providing the customers with all caps emulating screaming is no way to talk to a buyer whereas telling a story will provide them with a wonderful way to imagine themselves behind the wheel.
After placing the robot against the human in our showdown, it is time to look at the grading chart.
You’ve seen the comparison of a human comment against a robotic one. It is evident that Dealer Assist Now provides your customer with a description worthy of top results in a search engine as well as a quality experience for the buyer. The robotic comment is unable to do either of these things with some of the most common mistakes we see each and every time in our weekly Comment Showdown.
