That’s about half the number that had been slated to be cut
DETROIT - General Motors Co. will reinstate 661 dealerships it sought to drop from its sales network.
GM executives said Friday that the dealerships — more than half of those seeking to stay with the automaker — will receive letters giving them the option to remain open. GM said it would not have enough time to negotiate with all 1,100 dealerships that appealed the automaker's decision to close them within a four-month window imposed by the federal government.
"By doing this we save a lot of time, energy and dollars," said Jim Bunnell, GM general manager of network support, saying the company wished to avoid a "very large arbitration process."

wanna bet how many of those 661 are registered dem's and/or contributors?
ReplyDeleteI bet all minority owned , you know redistribute the wealth !
ReplyDeleteThe news here would be "are there any on the the shore that will remain open"? I would like to see you take the time to investigate an article instead of "copy and paste". I find myself coming to this site a lot less because I now know you have mostly copy and paste articles that I have already read elsewhere. Do you want to be known as "copyandpastenews or "sbynews". Just curious. Take a survey of what others besides me think.

ReplyDeleteI have noticed this statement on numerous "go here" articles you post. How are you legally able to post the articles when it has the above statement attached?
anonymous 9:27, because we do not copy the entire article and take credit for it, hence the "GO HERE" link. It is perfectly legal.
ReplyDelete9:29 Joe, thanks for explanation. I had been wondering about that
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the whiny progressives on here they want to talk about everything but the 800 lb gorilla in the WhiteHouse !
ReplyDeleteGetting back to the matter as reported....
ReplyDeleteTake the time to thumb through Consumer Reports Car Buying edition. It will amaze you just how many choices in cars there are out there aside from GM & Chrysler. In addition, GM and Chrysler make up over 90% of the DO NOT BUY recommendations.
A GM dealership doesn't seem like a good investment to me.
now all gm needs to do is reinstate Pontiac division and start to build actual quality cars that are of equal quality to the german's and mabye they will have something.
ReplyDeleteBut That is not likely
Fenwick Al, Stay in fenwick. I love people like you who rely on a website to decide which car you want to buy. GO DRIVE THE CAR. And why are you still butt hurt over the gov't bailing them out? GM is slated to pay back the money by this summer. Not to mention this move they are doing with the dealership SAVES jobs.
