There may not have been any protections for an OEM setting up next door and sinking a dealership that just built a 5 million dollar showroom because the OEM made them
The one thing is the OEMs certainly aren't forcing them to open up dealerships. If anything the dealership owners are fighting to be able to to build those multi million dollar franchise locations because the owners make so much money.
Presumably the future will have those dealerships being showrooms facilitating test drives with some hourly product experts and service stations. I don't see this law lasting in perpetuity unless neighboring states all pass it as well. If I were a Florida consumer I'd just order a car to Georgia, Alabama, or Mississippi and save the pain.

The internet has just about reduced new car buying to this model anyway. Last 2 new cars I've bought I took one test drive at a local dealer, told them if they were competitive they'd get my business because I like money staying local, then I went online and got bids. Ended up buying one in New Orleans because the local dealer was way too high, the second in Atlanta just because inventory was limited and the local guy didn't have the model I wanted. No haggling, no idiotic quad sheets, no "let me check with my manager".
