Recently General Motors and Chrysler eliminated thousands of dealers in order to restructure their business. But what will happen to those dealers, will they turn to foreign nameplates to put product in their showrooms? On this edition of Autoline EXTRA, John McElroy and his colleagues discuss that and all the other issues related to the dealership closings. The conversation also touches on Volkswagens goal of reaching a million in sales in the American market sometime next decade. Joining John in the conversation are Michelle Krebs, senior editor with Edmunds.com, Daniel Howes, a columnist for the Detroit News, and Sean McAlinden, an economist for the Center for Automotive Research.
