The problem is if manufacturers sold directly, it would wipe out an entire auto industry. Not necessarily a problem for me or many of us on this forum, but a problem nonetheless. I assume manufacturers would have to restructure their business to incorporate this idea, and I'm sure it would come with its own issues (probably still better than dealership though lol).
