No, I think a lot of people would agree with that. Of course it's nice to save money where you can by haggling. On the other hand, I'm starting to realize that if paying MSRP was the only option, you would 1) save time, 2) probably have a positive experience, and 3) not have to worry about if you got the best deal or if you found out someone else was able to get a better deal.

The problem is if manufacturers sold directly, it would wipe out an entire auto industry. Not necessarily a problem for me or many of us on this forum, but a problem nonetheless. I assume manufacturers would have to restructure their business to incorporate this idea, and I'm sure it would come with its own issues (probably still better than dealership though lol).
