Chrysler and GM for years of poor product design and quality. For over building their dealer network. For giving unions too much. For getting into a position where they had to makes deals with the devil (gov’t).
I am operating under the assumption that the dealerships entered into contracts with the manufacturers that said that the manufacturer could drop the dealer.
I should also add that the remaining dealers should be better off in the end (if the COs make it through this). Do you propose that companies retain the status quo even when it’s not working? In the end efficient companies with good products will make it and others won’t. Sorry if this is too much for you to handle.
