Amazon.com to offer online car-buying service. I guess this explains why they've changed their navigation once again. A little more information for those hungry for it. I wonder if I can 1-click a car? Will it be shipped within 24 hours? And I don't want any damn bookmark!

Well, they're acting as a funnel to local dealers, which solves the problems of territory exclusivity and customer support that have made such a venture difficult to launch. If the car you want is available at an affiliated dealer, you may well be able to have it delivered the next day.
