Unreal. Chrysler cuts dealers and GM announces the same thing the next day. Did anyone see this coming a year ago? Can you believe how many tragic events have occurred in our economy in the last year??

Is the government being involved in all things business a good idea? I don't believe so. How many government programs run good? How about medicare or social security? They say they are going broke. Just great.

Now the heavy hand of the feds is manipulating our beloved car companies. Many dealerships are getting the axe. Is this the real desire of the car makers or is the fed pushing the agenda. We will know the truth someday.

I do believe car dealers are getting a very raw deal. Franchise agreements are being terminated on real people who have helped build these brands for decades.

Now they are being tossed aside like  dirty laundry. It's not only the business people who own the dealership but the mechanics, salespeople and the rest of the staff who put their heart and soul into the brand.

Sure, you can say life isn't fair, but what do these dealers cost the automakers and how is reducing the network going to help??

Less money for marketing and fewer places to go buy the cars, parts and service. How does that make sense?

The dealers all buy the vehicles from the automakers....so how are they saving money??

One local dealer added 2 million dollars worth of inventory to his lot when they were begging for dealers to take vehicles and....yes...he was told he was no longer needed.

Unreal...or surreal...take your pick.
