The Dealer 5 | October 21, 2014

Tesla could lose another one in what seems like a war of attrition. A bill banning direct-auto sales in Michigan awaits the governor's signature. He very well may sign.

A study of car-buying differences by gender says men like haggling more. But that doesn't mean they get better prices. Some dealers say women do. Find out why.

If dealers are OK with vehicle recalls, and they are (as in extra revenue), consider this: Recalls will set a record this year, 56 million and counting. There's a reason for that, and it's not because cars are lousy. 

  Some people think GM product planners are crazy to reenter the sleepy midsize pickup truck market? Maybe they're crazy like a fox. 

A dealership didn't go to the dogs. Wild dogs went to a dealership. And doggone it, they did some damage.
