Hi Marc
I find this really intersting and I'm mainly with you guys on this thing and would support the dealers who (hopefully) have a sustainable on line business model.
The problem for me would (and is always) the "extended test drive" I need to live with a car for several hours / overnight, tootling around (not necessarily driving the length of the country in it, oh and I dont do weddings in my spare time!) which few are willing to provide.
The best and bravest course of action would be to offer (hopefully via Volvo HQ) a nationwide test drive facility - Vauxhall lent me a car for 4 days a few years ago and didnt even follow it up!
Personally I would pay to hire the car for a week as long as I got the best deal with all commission thrown back in and a fair admin/sale fee paid by me for a transparent deal. Sadly I fear the car industry will be the last to "come clean".
