The auto dealers and the NADA in all states have strong lobbying power. This is one of a host of reasons you will never see the manufacturers start selling directly to consumers. Regardless of what a lot of folks wish for the dealership selling model is not going anywhere. In addition, the manufacturers may give a little lip service to direct sales, but the truth is they are not interested in retailing their cars. They are in the business of manufacturing, not the day to day nuts and bolts of retail sales and service.
