Honda's site was quite Lynx-friendly at the time. Chrysler's was
absolutely impenetrable. Toyota's was painful but (just barely) usable.

Let's see, cars cost something like $17,000.00(US) *each*....
Something to think about: correcting sites one-by-one is exhausting and
not terribly rewarding, but if *enough* big-ticket sites all got the
message, they'd probably twist some arms to get the fancy-schmantzy HTML
editors updated with rules to *require* alternate-content tags, or at
least to always prompt for them. Not much chance of this happening, but
one can always dream.
