It sort of made sense back when there were ACTUAL customization options you could have. What paint job? Seats? Trim? Wheels? Extra options? It was neat.
These days, just buying from one of three canned models? Yeah, fuck dealer middle men.
The one thing that dealers provide which is still of value is the test drive. Customizing on a web site is all well and good, but trying before you buy is crucial with such a major purchase. I would rather not be stuck in a car that I find uncomfortable for any reason.
