Only those dealers who contributed to the Obama campaign "are safe"?

Was up 20 miles north of here to put my Ody in for its 60K service and I look and the Chevy - Mazda dealership is gone. Once they close the one here in town that means I'd have to travel 30 miles just to LOOK at a new Chevy. This in a county of over half a million. To me this looks like the end for them.
 
I'm a bit more surprised to see that no one picked up the Mazda dealership because it had already changed hands a couple of years ago.
 
Meanwhile, the VW-Porsche-Audi place I had shopped a Passat at 10 years ago and then promptly burned down started rebuilding a couple of years ago and then sudden;t stopped so if you want to open a new dealership there's a nice half built one there for you....

Did you get this info from the same place you got the false claim that the 3,500 or 4,500 dollar clunker rebate was counted as taxable income?
 
Completly false and incorrect information contained within

Was poking around a few of the local car lots Sunday looking for something for my daughter while they were closed.
 
Got to the Chevy dealer which I know is on the list for going away but had looked OK in terms of how full the lot was - low but OK. Well, upon further inspection, it turns out almost everything in the back of the lot are new Hyundais! The local Hyundai guy is using it as his overflow lot. My guess is that when the Chevy dealer goes away the Hyundai deler will move in as his current place is very small.
 
The Hyundai dealership only opened up this year. My guess is he picked where he currently is as a temporary location until a real place opened up (he's currently in an old furniture store).

I noticed another local Chrysler dealer was gone for good, although his Kia and Suzuki franchises are hanging in there. Kia has a bunch of new models and sales are up for that brand this year, so I guess he might make it with that one.
 
What's the latest on the whole fracas with disgruntled former GM and Chrysler dealers trying to get their franchises back after they were cancelled?

I don't know. Our local Chrysler - Dodge guy was spared and the Pontiac (RIP)-Buick-GMC guy was as well. Jeep and Chevy got the ax.

NADA is fighting. I'm not sure what legislative or public support they have (they are car dealers, after all....).

"I'm not sure what legislative or public support they have (they are car dealers, after all....). "
 
This statement requires an explanation, & an apology, for it indicates an anti independent business attitude.
