First note in the small print:

"1. All prices are Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). MSRP excludes destination and handling charges, tax, title, license and options. Dealer sets actual price."

Dealer sets actual price. So it's still sold via a dealership. What a crazy country with crazy laws.

But the dealers are there to protect consumers from mean old manufacturers!

So they use Amazon as an ad space?

Looks like it. You can't even leave reviews or anything on the page. I'd be surprised if customers find it useful.
