As far as cutting out dealerships goes...that is not going to happen. Think of all the expense saved by the corporation by keeping the dealers independent. I'm sure a few of you heard about Ford's flop a couple of years ago, when they tried to have a few corporate owned dealerships. They just didn't work. The one thing I do believe corporate should do, is have a minimum advertised price. This is the same thing they do for golf clubs, bbq's, televisions, etc...if you look, you will never see it advertised for less than a certain amount. It is then up to the retailer to sell the product for whatever they want. ABC Warehouse is a perfect example of this... But we will see...as long as dealerships keep selling cars, corporate will be happy.
