Right, but why terminate the franchises in the first place? Dealerships buy their cars. Fewer dealers means fewer outlets for consumers to buy your products. Many dealers have closed in the last few months because they weren't profitable, why not let the market continue to decide who remains as a franchisee? They will lose market share because of this...I just don't get it.
