I could sorta see that at car price points there could be some structural advantages for the manufacturers over the dealers that might benefit from some protection. But it does seem like little more than local political power here in 2014 USA.
- protomyth 13y agoIf the law were changed overnight so the manufactures could sell direct, then I would expect the number of surviving dealerships to be very low. I would imagine it would be dealers in used and exotic cars that survive or rural areas that do multiple manufactures. It is a local power thing, and I don't agree with it, but I also don't think anyone should get an unfair advantage just because they are new. That doesn't promote competition.
