There is no good excuse for blood letting dealerships. Big one’s buy a lot of cars, little ones by less. No problem here!
It's about favoritism and avoiding free market capitalism, IMHO.

The only time a dealer costs the manufacturer anything is on warrenty work. Perhaps by limiting dealerships, the waiting lists will be so long for getting this work done, owners will simply trade in their ‘lemons’ for new models.

The criteria was published on the same day that the closings were published.

Moreover, don't you find it just a little disconcerting, that the Car Czar and the entire gang of clueless moonbats who are overseeing this debacle REFUSE to be accountable and answer a simple question: What is the criteria they are using to designate which Dealership is being forced to close?

You are asking the wrong question, the correct question should be: Under what authority does the government get the power to shut down, take over, fire CEOs or in anyway interfere with a privately owned business? This whole take over of GM and Chrysler in an impeachable offense and the Republicans need to be shouting that out at the top of their lungs, but they are quiet about it, mainly because the frickin' republican politicians are just as socialist and greedy as the Dimwits.

MSM isn’t covering this, and unless they do, it has no legs. It’s like the Birth Certificate issue.

Thanks for the link on dealership closing criteria.

But I have a question.

When you posted that on 6/4 did you post it in the bloggers/personal section of FR? Or did you post it in the news/activism section, after which it was moved into the blogger section?

I posted it in the blogger forum because I wrote the article so it isn’t actually “News.”

I suggest you repost it under news/activism. If you think there is some conflict because you blogged it, restructure it so the Chrysler data/criteria is linked.

Of course you realize, wherever you post it, most here will brush it off because that is not what they want to believe.

"I would really, really doubt that the Obama administration had someone go through a list."

And did you "really, really doubt" that the Clintons were going after and punishing their Republican/conservative opposition via sicking the IRS on them in endless audits during the entire eght years of their "reign"?

The damned DemocRats are capable of all this and much, MUCH more. The are the true fascists. If you don't know that FACT by now, you probably don't belong at FR.

Even on warranties it really should not matter which dealer does the work. The factory pays on only so much for the job done so even there warranty work which is a liability to the dealer is really dealer neutral I would think.

Done. Thanks for the suggestion. It will probably get moved, but “I tried.”

You are wrong. There’s no tin foil hats, but you need to take off your blinders.
