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...

This article explains why an outstanding dealership, like Frederick Dodge, is on the closure list. They must be owned by Republicans.

I don't agree with having these dealerships shut down either. The truth of the matter is the free market can dictate this. I really hate the dealership that is getting shut down in my area, but speaking objectively they sell a whole lot more than the many other dealerships in my area. I don't buy into the belief that it will allow new ones to enter. This strategy makes about as much sense as deciding to get rid of your dealerships in a foreign country because it is increase your sales. It is madness done by fools who don't have a clue what they are doing. If they want to improve the dealerships, train the sales staff to cater better to the customer and adopt a more customer friendly atmosphere.

Thumbs down

I just returned from a road trip in the motorhome and passed a handful of closed Chrysler dealers (and a few GM as well)....a really sad sight to say the least.
What's most sad about it is.....it was totally unnecessary no matter how you look at it.
(Thank you Mr. President...)
