Lost two Dodge franchises but they did not close. Instead they adapted to the current economic situation and now operate as used car mega stores. Works better for me as more used vehicles. Now we just need people buying cars for turnover!

Yeah Saturn was another Franchise we lost. We had one Saturn franchise that was paired with a Nissan franchise and they as well have tried to goto an all used car store it is not a total loss yet.

We see (too) many dealers going out off business here in the Detroit Metro area. all brands.
It is really sad to see all these empty lots and buildings.
We lost none because we never worked for any.

Yep, forgot about Hummer....they too are now a used lot. I have come out on the other side of these closings on the better side.
