Kaisen, you make good points, all of them. But what's the alternative? These are dealerships that struggling automakers have determined are NOT MAKING THEM MONEY. That's the absolute bottom line. Unless you believe that the dealers deserve some sort of bailout (I don't) then it's just business. Many of the same arguments can also be applied to other struggling industries, though perhaps on a smaller scale.

Painful as it may be, it had to be done. Is it productive to have multiple dealerships within a few miles of each other competing for business? I believe there are 5 GM dealers within the Wichita metro area. If you count nearby small towns, there's several more. We have one Nissan, one Honda, and one Toyota dealer.
