For GM, The End is Near.......

The end of GM is near. The local dealers here were informed that 300 GM stores will be closed in Canada. Two of the three GM stores in Vancouver will be closed. One of them opened two months ago, the other three years ago and all are owned by the same family. This family has the worst CSI in the zone, btw. The Richmond store, ineptly run by a woman for the last several years is also to be closed.

As for Chrysler, there will be on store in Burnaby, one in Couquitlam, one in Vancouver and one on the North Shore. All others will be sold. Oh, and the Chryco bosses are trying to get themselves classified as Fiat workers so they can jack their salaries over a half million a year! Don't they ever learn????
