I wonder how many people swore off entire car brands solely on how they were treated at the dealership.
I know my mom tried to buy a lexas once, except not a single person would help us. It was kind of rediculous and was pretty shocked my self. We just walked across the street to the BMW dealer who was more than helpful.
Why don't any car manufacturers operate their own stores, seems like it would be an all around better thing to do vs the current situation where most people hate car dealers.

I agree with you.
But a lot of it has to do with the law. The manufacturers hands are pretty much tied. They have limited control over the dealerships.
I also am not sure of the legalities of the Big 3 directly selling cars to consumers.
