Competition is not allowed, there are territories, backed by state laws. You could not open up your own 'car store' and start selling new Ford vehicles in someone else's territory if you thought you could sell the same product without offensive dealer markups.I'm curious what type of distribution system you propose would be better? ... Curious what is the reasoning behind your comment, and others who say the same thing.
They do not operate like a (non franchise) restaurant or other business, but I think they should. Real competition would eliminate most of the things people hate about stealerships.
