      This is the first I’m hearing about it. I don’t know why anyone would be excited about this.

        Does this mean I won’t need to go to a dealership, play games to get a fair price, have the dealer’s branding permanently affixed to my car, and be constantly hounded by the dealership to buy more things from them?

        But if it means the car is going to come with mandatory Alexa I’m out.

          If you go to the Hyundai Shop on amazon, it basically just gives you a list of local dealers and their listed financing price. If you click “begin purchase”, it just figures out if you want to finance it or pay in cash.

          So I guess – yes? You at least don’t have to play games, though I suspect the pricing is higher versus at the dealership directly.

          No, my understanding of this is that Amazon is just a storefront for dealers. Your entire transaction will be with the dealer, because Amazon is not allowed to sell new cars
