Sorry what value does a third party showroom provide that a direct showroom wouldn't?

And currently car companies compete with each other. If one saw third party showrooms as something the consumer wants, then they would continue doing it to compete.

You seem to have missed the part of my comment where I said "if an automaker was allowed to make their new vehicles only available from a direct showroom". If the automaker didn't allow other dealers to sell new vehicles, they wouldn't be able to compete. It's very simple.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Do you think manufacturers of products should be forced to sell items to any business?

The competition that matters is against other automakers.
