Realistically tho dealers are here to stay at least for a little while longer. I've done work for a few major dealers and a colleague of mine is a dealer SME... they're so fundamentally rooted in US politics that they aren't going anywhere for the time being.
Dealers are not going anywhere, too many greased palms supporting them. Especially since most dealerships are now owned by huge corporations like Autonation.
