I’ve heard Congress is going to revisit those closings - several of the owners of closed dealerships were elected on Tea Party platforms!
I actually read Rattner’s book.
The funny part is the one congress person he mentions who was a big pain in the @ss fighting the closings was Gabby Giffords.
Main Motors Chevrolet in Anoka,MN was almost one of those. The town I grew up in. Still not sure how many strings they have to pull to stay in business. Initial press release was that they’d be shuttered.
