| 1 | 3711 | 1986 | Acura dealers in Japan are facing similar problems. There, the Legend is sometimes sold side-by-side with low-priced Civics, blurring the luxury image Honda is trying to create. |
| 2 | 5712 | 1999 | Stanley Furniture Co. recently agreed to let Living.com offer Stanley products on its Web site for a 60-day test period. The idea behind the test was to see whether the company could reach new customers through an Internet dealer and provide satisfactory service to those customers. But Stanley's traditional customers, conventional furniture stores, protested so loudly that the company ended the Internet test after a couple of weeks. Some of the stores said Internet sales violated exclusive rights they had to sell Stanley products in certain areas. For now, Stanley has reverted to banning online sales of its products. |
