All of us in the car business know how seemingly arbitrary and haphazard the ‘axing’ of the dealer body was…particuarly in the case of Chrysler. Who really knows what the rules of the game were? Every time I read something from Chrysler or Government Motors, it seems to change a little bit.
Let’s hope current management owns up to the mistakes of the last six to nine months and lets independant businesses have their livelihoods back.
