Did your research extend as far as to why it is illegal ?
When it was introduced it was only the manufacturers that were able to sell cars to you, by their own choice. The law was introduced to break the stranglehold that manufacturers had on retail operations. Car dealers were able, for the first time, to guide buyers through the positive and negative aspects of the features of one model against another in a climate where they weren't just bashing the competition to make a sale.
It is ironic you choose Toyota as your example because when breaking into the US market they faced similar problems as Tesla does now. At the time, in Japan, the car dealers sold cars door to door, there were no showrooms. And you dealt with the same dealer for all your life. Japanese joked that it was easier to lose contact with your parents than it was your car dealer.
Boy, does the US now hate Toyota http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-26650173
That's some spin Holder puts on the story.I guess he's got to try and get GM's bailout money back somehow, just another $23.9bn to go
