		<description>&lt;I&gt;Sort of a ‘Fiat accompli’ you might say. ;-}&lt;/I&gt;

Groan... Just ban him, Steve.
This site is no place for Jeep shots like that.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m interested in this as well.  It&#039;s hard to think of business reasons to close down distributors.

If there are some significant costs that Chryler bears, I would be curious to learn what they are.  I can think of some small things like having to deliver vehicles to more places and havving to send trouble-shooters to more locations, and train at more locations, but those seem small to me relative to a multi-billion dollar business.

Maybe it has to do with brand dilution or some other esoteric marketing mumbo jumbo.

But like the rest of you, it smells to me like it&#039;s The Obama Mob punishing its enemies and paying off it&#039;s knee-breakers.

I really think it&#039;s a signal to American business to either get on board the fascist express, or get out of town.</description>

		<description>John,
&quot;When I mention anything at all concerning the crap Obama is pulling they get like little kids plugging their ears and stamping their feet&quot; 

 I have a &#039;friend&#039; at church who really goes off if  she hears ANY thing pro conserv or against Obalmy.  I mean shouting and sputtering!

I&#039;m going to a nearby theater tonight to watch Beck.  I halfway thought I should take her...but then I don&#039;t want to spoil our night!   OK, so I didn&#039;t REALLY think of including her...just the vision of her anger would be enough to kill that thought!   Don&#039;t think she would be able to handle that much truth in one sitting.  LOL</description>

		<description>.....&quot;The rumor they’ve heard is that it’s the non-union shops that got the axe.....&quot;

This same thought crossed my mind today, and it wouldn&#039;t surprise me in the least.  That, and those dealerships that made campaign donations to Republican candidates are bearing the brunt of the closings.  The oldest son of one of my friends is a service writer for a MOPAR dealer.  He&#039;s losing his job and his seniority because the dealership is closing, and he&#039;s super-pissed off.  Guess what?  He, his dad, and the whole family voted for the O-hole--but it&#039;s all Bush&#039;s fault.  They&#039;re completely clueless.  When I mention anything at all concerning the crap Obama is pulling they get like little kids plugging their ears and stamping their feet.  It&#039;s put a strain on the friendship, but I look on it as I would a self-inflicted gunshot wound.  It&#039;s not my fault.  I lost in November so don&#039;t tell me about it.  Maybe I should call for a waaaaaaaaaambulance, eh?</description>

		<description>I have no inside knowledge, so this is only my opinion.  But I don&#039;t think this came from the &quot;old&quot; Chrysler org.  I think this is mandated right out of the Obalmy/UAW/Chrysler partnership.

When you sell your soul to the devil...Chrysler shouldn&#039;t be surprised when he demands your life.

The whole Chrysler/GM think is to weaken our economy from the front, back and through the ordinary workers...who lose their jobs and thus can&#039;t buy...again furthering the weakening of the US economy.

You can&#039;t rationalize their actions unless you understand their intent</description>

		<description>There are some excellent research pieces looking into exactly why certainly dealers were chosen to close and others were saved from the chopping block.

		<description>I went to visit my Chrysler dealer today.  I&#039;ve been a Mopar guy for a long time and have a good relationship with the guys in the service department.  Come next Monday they&#039;re done.  There&#039;s a lawsuit pending, but they&#039;re not particularly hopeful.  They have a stockroom full of parts and next week they get orphaned from the dealer network, so they can&#039;t charge for warranty work using those parts and they won&#039;t be able to cross ship them to other Chrysler shops.

The rumor they&#039;ve heard is that it&#039;s the non-union shops that got the axe as a sop to the UAW.

At the very least, no one has managed to explain how reducing the number of dealers makes any economic difference to Chrysler.</description>

		<description>From the sound of things, you&#039;ll probably have to book a cruise to the Mediterranean to get to the factory.  Makes driving the thing  home a daunting task.  One not for the faint of heart.

		<description>Well then, why advertise, why have engineers, designers, and executives.

It&#039;s the perfect Obamanized business.   No tacky products.  No nasty profits.   No clinging customers.

Why, we&#039;ll just save ALL the expenses, and have everybody making over $75K a year just make payments for their virtual cars directly to the &lt;strike&gt;Obamy voters&lt;/strike&gt; auto workers.</description>

		<description>&quot;Chrysler will have little need for the hundreds of dealers it wants to close..&quot;

These dealers were autonomous businessman and women who employed people and had a MAJOR investment in their businesses .. and who GOT SCREWED!!!</description>
