Yes and no.

I know that when the Solstice was introduced, Bob Lutz made it clear that any dealerships who added "additional dealer markup" would not receive any more Solstices.

But GM is in a much weaker position now, and starting a fight with dealerships, no matter how right they are and how stupid the dealerships are behaving, probably will not help them.
