What's interesting to me is that an analogy can be drawn comparing U.S. car dealerships to Tijuana tourist tiendas. In Tijuana you have Juan and Pablo on the sidewalk, roping in customers. In the U.S. you have John and Paul on the car lot, roping in customers.

What other mass produced product in this country is sold out of stores at prices that can only be finally determined by haggling?

And how did it come to pass that cars are sold this way? Bicycles aren't. I don't think airplanes are.
