They will have robots/AI selling cars (or pods that drive themselves) soon enough. JP Morgan is piloting their "teller replacement" ATM at many locations now. With my generation (millennials) being the first of the cell-phone obsessed anti-social generations, it only makes sense that most of the traditional person-to-person sales jobs will be gone within the next 25 years.

Look around yourself at any major social event. Every person is out with their electronic pacifier; twitting, snapchatting, instagraming to people they never met.

That's the one where they debadge the car and the "testers" say stupid crap like "It reminds me of an Audi" or "Is this a BMW?"

No. No it's not.

It's a blatant attempt to sell something to that mystical population of "millennials" that they don't understand but are pretty sure only like phones and tablets.

I love the ones that advertise a built in hotspot. Yeah, or have a phone that has a hotspot functionality.

And I'm just guessing, but I bet if your phone doesn't have coverage, your car probably doesn't either.
