>>Where does one go to test drive a vehicle and obtain warranty service?

Speaking hypothetically of course, why don't the auto makers own the dealerships and just use them for test driving and warranty service? Keep minimal inventory and square footage ...

Now here's an interesting bit to chew on: People generally hate car dealers, and are flocking to the web to do their research and in some cases buy cars. I read that when they buy their cars via the web they end up paying more on average. To me that is an indicator of just how value subtracted the dealership is.
