What strikes me is - we use to have very small Ford, Chevy, a Chrystler/Plymouth, AMC - IH Scout, and Buick dealers within 20 miles - all are out of business now. None of them sold a ton of cars. Pretty sure this pattern existed across this country for many many years.
So what's in it for a Ford or GM corporate to have such small dealers? IMHO the dealer has a price they have to pay for the car to Ford/GM corporate. Corporate has made their profit - end of story, but if there were 2,000 small dealers across the country that sold 15 cars or trucks a month - that's 15 x 12 x 2,000 for 360,000 cars moved and at least corporate profit made on them. It's also 360,000 in future parts business. It boggles my mind that that number is unacceptable!
I get it that maybe you want a dealer to have some sort of appearance, nothing offending - but requiring them to build mega-new buildings just adds IMHO unnecessary overhead to the small dealers and snuff out their ability to service and sell cars.
One of these days there will be a Harvard study on COMMON SENSE and the outcome of it will STUN the nation.....

The setting is rural Wisconsin, halfway between East Troy and Elkhorn, on Hodunk Road, our nation was at war, and I was 6, 7 and 8 years old. George was our "threshing neighbor." He was the one with the threshing machine, a JI Case on steel wheels, and he pulled it to our farm with a JI Case standard tractor also on steel. In those days, steel wheeled implements were common. The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
