An interesting article in the Sydney Morning Herald today. 

In Sydney Australia, the car sales industry seems to have been dominated by snappily dressed, well-coiffed men since the horse and cart were put out to pasture.

But the male domination of the car yard will soon end - at least for one local company.

High-end retailer Trivett Cars has been granted an exemption from sex discrimination laws so that it can hire only saleswomen for its 22 dealerships in western Sydney and Melbourne.

I wonder if there will be a similar situation here in the USA, and if so, which State will be the one that steps out on a limb?
