I bet you will find if youy read the laws that there's a way around this. Probably something along the lines of: "If you have a franchise in a state you cannot dictate this and that... blah blah blah. If you do not have franchises then you can sell direct."
The real answer is to do away with all franchises, sell direct, and establish the existing dealers as "service centers" and NOT franchises.
SIMPLE.
Now, get to work!

actually, GM does not have Franchises, per se -- we have 'sales and service agreements' --
If it's SIMPLE -- then go change the law!
Go ahead!
If you think it's that simple, you are being delusional.
We started awarding Sales and Service Agreements shortly after GM was formed- each state over the years has passed it's own motor vehicle laws and auto franchise laws --
I guess I cannot understand WHY you think GM wouldn't sell direct in a HEART BEAT if it was 'simple' as you state.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have been on this site and many others for many years -- I do not intentionally lie. If I did, I'd be run off of this (and other) sites.
PAY ATTENTION:
each state has its motor vehicle franchise laws -- each state makes it very clear that the manufacturer CANNOT SELL directly to the public. YOU don't like it and I don't like it -- but that's the law. if you don't like it -- contact your state legislators and start a campaign to have the laws overturned in the state in which you reside!!!!
