Honda and Benz both shafted their dealers here, and introduced the shit price guarantee, by selling direct only at list price, no haggling with the dealer. As a result sales of both which have been mediocre of recent times, have tanked pretty much completely.  Last figures I saw had Honda at some -60% on previous which was already -30 or so on previous.. Don't have any numbers for Benz coming to mind at present.  Both brands are meant to be on their way to obscurity or oblivion take your pick.
