[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I absolutely agree, but I still want to be able to sit in vehicles and look at them. DH likes to test drive (I do not). I really want to look at the new Kia Carnival, but I'd never buy it without looking inside.

Some of what I hate the most about dealerships is that they never have the colors and interior that I want. You can order it, but then it's a lot more expensive.[/quote]

No need to do away with showrooms.

Keep around a couple of guys to check ids and go on test drives - no need to have them on commission, more like brand ambassadors who can give you the basics if you haven’t done your research. Maybe an incentive structure that rewards them for volume in sales at that location rather than price of vehicle.

After you’ve done the drive, there can be a touchscreen kiosk, like at McDonald’s where you put in the version of car you want (may still have to order it but with less need for salespeople dealerships can focus on better inventory). If you came with a check or are paying cash you proceed to the checkout counter, they hand you the keys and you’re on your way. Need financing, touch screen either connects you with BoA or Navy Federal or you can tap to get dealer financing, also done on touchscreen.

Voila, problem solved.[/quote]
