Was having up-market high-roller dealers like the mainstream luxury brands a hiding to nowhere? (How the London one keeps going with their overheads and attitude I don't know.!)

They're in a pickle ... they've moved on to cars that need specialist dealers to maintain and repair without the volume to support such a network ... with the older trads they could have handled sales direct from the factory and had owners rely on any general garage to service and repair .... is that viable for CX cars and above? .... maybe one service/repair centre per country with a few discrete covered transporters for pick-up and drop-off ala Rolls? ... and sales from the factory sold as 'bespoke' and developed as an experience in itself along the lines of being suited and booted in Saville Row ?
