It is also easier to control a smaller dealership base in terms of supply, distribution, etc. Just a couple reasons I can think off right of the top.
Then let the market do it's job, and dealers that are not making a profit or can not change with the market will not survive...survival of the fittest and or those that are best at facing the challenges of today's business world. The Government should not be playing around with the market...that's not good for business...
