VW and Audi dealers are suing Scout Motors over its direct-to-consumer sales model.

Dealers claim Scout Motors is in violation of Florida law which blocks automakers from trying to bypass dealers by selling directly to consumers.

Scout hasn’t sold a single vehicle yet, but dealers claim the company is violating the law by accepting $ 100 deposits.
