Re: [ST] Another dealer is kaput

[Dave <dbardell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My thoughts -- FWIW

I think many of these multi line dealers are getting pressure form their 
"major" dealership to shed all but the main brand.  I know Harley Doodly 
is doing this, so I expect Honda and the rest are no different.  They 
want any separate dealerships under separate roof, etc.....  Usually not 
an option, esp. in NJ where space/real estate is at a premium.  
There oughta be a law!!!
