Part of me wishes the industry would just adopt Tesla's buying model. You walk in, pick out your car, pay for it and go home. No haggling, no back door sales tactics, no waiting in the lobby for 4 hours while the SA "talks to their manager"...
That's because of state franchise laws based on my very elementary level understanding of the policies in place (again separate topic). At least BMW dealerships are better than some... Hyundai is ridiculously bad despite their cars getting better and better. Their Genesis brand will really need to overcome this to be a true player in the luxury market.
