Fans, Bloggers Tracking Closing GM Dealerships

Last week, GM announced that it would not renew approximately 1,100 dealer franchises after 2010. It also said it would not release a list of which 1,100 dealers received these cancellation notices. Well, in the world of the blogosphere, that's not going to stop people from trying to find out.

Well-known blog The Huffington Post has a post up that it says will track all the closing dealerships. As of now, it’s showing just eight named — and presumably verified — dealers.

GM Inside News — one of the leading automotive forums on the web — has a much more robust list of 81 dealers, which you can find here. That list is comprised of dealership names sent in from the forum's members, so they should be taken with a grain of salt. We'd suggest concerned owners contact each store if they're worried about future service. It's likely that if they told a forum member, they'd also tell a current customer.

Who’s at fault for the American automobile industry collapsing to the point it needs to turn to the government for help! Well if you really look at the problem everyone is. The government is for allowing so many imports vehicles in to our country, with out considering the out come of what will happen to the American cars. The public for forgetting where they live, work, and play freely (in America), the automobile manufacture for not thinking about the American public. When they were building vehicles like they were toy model cars. Now we have a president that says he will save jobs and get the economy going to put people back to work. But the government forces the American manufactures to close car dealerships, down size the plants. Putting serve hundreds of thousands of people out of work that have survived off, The American automobile business. What did they do for the import vehicles sold in this country? They are forcing American car dealers to open more import dealerships. Pushing the American plant worker to find work for the import manufacture in this country. How does this help the American automobile business in this country? Where we employ and keep the tax payers money in this country. Instead of shipping it to Japan or Korea. The government took the American publics tax dollars to help out the American built vehicle companies, on the same hand forced Americans to help build sell and open more import dealerships in this country off our tax dollars. How have we helped the American economy by allowing the government to do this????? The government, the public, the manufacture needs to think about this country America and stop thinking about greed. Every import vehicle sold; bought and built in this country will keep bring down the American automobile industry. Which we all know that the down turn of the automobile industry affects the American economy.
