suzuki australia taking over from haines group- speculation on motor pricing

[baitable]

Heya- just a thought, when suzuki takes back their dealership in house and Haines group is removed, I'm assuming its cutting out the middle man. Whats the speculation if there is one less finger in the pie with regard to pricing? I'm guessing there a 3 options:

a. pricing goes down due to less margins applied throughout the sale process
b. pricing goes up because because suzuki marine needs to establish in Australia (head office admin etc? )
c. pricing stays the same


whats the thought process? any industry inside word?

My guess is stays the same, being a distributor is kind of different to being a "shop" with full retail sales.
