I cannot think of any legitimate and logical reasoning as to why an auto maker cannot sell vehicles directly to the consumer. The only reason those laws are still in place is because the big dealerships don't want to have to change the way they do business.
Doesn't matter how old & archaic those laws are, they still exist and they present a massive barrier for any automaker that has established themselves in the US.
