In my country, Car makers own dealerships, well actually only a small number of them, most Dealerships are franchises, so we have a mixed model that works pretty great for all involved. New makers that arrive to my country expand with their own dealerships, and after they gain traction they start to sell franchises, when well stablished car makers want to expand to new markets they usually do it with their own dealerships too.
