That is an iFrame showing the Honda Website which has been created in Flash.
The ‘pre-owned’ page is also using an iFrame to show another site (http://www.autofind.com) - the other site in this case is created using a database to pull the car information.
how do I put it in an Iframe… I have not done that yet LOL
Thank you!

If you right-click on the honda image you can see that it is flash.
The browser-style scroll bars gives the iFrame away - also, if you view the source and ‘Cmd-Find’ and enter ‘iframe’ you will see the code for the iFrame.

The used looks differentbut it looks different - maybe theirs is a specific - dealer login look? Or can I do something to "crop the top of the website?

An iframe is just like a new browser window welded into the middle of
the page. You can only control its contents by changing the source
page. If you don’t have control over that source page, then you need
to either try a different technique, or find a different source for
the content to put into your iframe.
Another technique is to use a “screen scraper” script to get the
remote page, strip it down to just the part you want, and then insert
it into your page. This gives you maximal control, because you can
substantially alter the original content, apply your own styling, etc.
All things that you cannot do with the “through the looking-glass”
approach of an iframe. This is SIGNIFICANTLY harder to pull off, and
it becomes a “brittle” solution, because the remote site can and will
redesign their site, which will definitely force you to re-jig your
content filter to match. I use this technique to do XHTML validations
against the W3 validator, and ePub validations against Three Rivers.
I’ve had to update the W3 scraper twice to deal with changes at their
end.

Oh, one other thing to look into – does your dealership offer an RSS
feed of cars for sale? I would not be surprised if they did. If so,
you can use my ReadFeed Action and a fair amount of hand-written CSS
to style the resulting linked list into something quite magical – an
automatically updating element on your page, perhaps with pictures,
but definitely with name and description and links to purchase or get
more information.
That makes sense.
for a mock I don’t think it would be worth the efforts… especially since they might have a dealer page that they are using in an iframe which does not have the top etc…

Interesting concept… I like that - something to offer them.

It would be signalled by the RSS button in the right end of your
Safari location field, or similar icons appearing in Firefox’s chrome.
The “social media” buttons are completely orthogonal to RSS or ATOM.
If the designer chooses to lump them together visually, that’s
completely up to them, but they have almost nothing at all to do with
one another at a technical level.
If you “use the source, Luke”, then you would see a line of code like
this:
somewhere up in the HEAD of the page. That sets up the auto-discovery
method for RSS. A link to the RSS file itself, attached to one of
those little orange radio wave buttons, is a secondary way to
advertise the format to visitors.
