There are laws in place that prevent manufactures from selling direct to customers. There are multiple reasons like having a local presence to support the buyer. We need new rules that allow for Internet sales.
As I found out with my 2009 smart car (yes I owned and loved the smart car) there are no rules which require a to keep a local dealership open to service your car.
Lots of laws need to be changed like the fact that in Minnesota dealerships can't be open on Sundays even though their service department can.
