I miss my Subaru line-up! Sooo many chevy models, soo different and sooo not the 2.5l boxer i am used to. next time you see me I'll be in my new traverse LTZ
Stan, I believe that you can purchase the exact same car at many different dealerships so the product lacks differentiation. I believe that the salesman is the lifeblood of the auto industry and that will never change but I do believe that the salesman's responsibilities will change because our younger generations shops differently than before. They are the information generation who search online for their goods and services and do not believe that they should have to negotiate. I spent the last four years at AutoNation conducting focus groups, training salespeople and developing workflow and sales processes to address this emerging market. What is true of current and future generations is that they all expect good old fashion customer service and are willing to pay for it. So, no I do not want salespeople eliminated.
