    Article I could see before paywalled says auto dealers will be able to sell on Amazon. So this won’t be Hyundai selling direct to customers which is the way it should be in 2024. So this isn’t a win.

      Honestly I’d rather it was the manufacturer etc selling directly online rather than through Amazon.

      Wait until we get a seller HYUNDAISHOPCH that has 5/5 ratings but sends you a scale model car instead, them you find out the ratings were for carpets not cars.

      So it’s going to be like TrueCar or Kelly Blue Book where you give your info and then get harassed for weeks by every dealership in a 500 mile radius?

      I know we saw issues with local deaerships durring the pandemic and supply shortages, but I’m not a fan of vertical monopolies. Most, but not all, dealerships gauged at the time but I think we would see price gouging on an even larger scale if we allowed for direct sales.
