Why was it a dumb move?
Should the automakers not take advantage of government involvement, sidestep all the legal BS associated with closing a dealership and have control over its distribution network?
Or should they keep dealerships open just keep sales jobs?
I don't know, I thought the point was to sell cars, not create sales jobs.

The report found that Chrysler, which made decisions on a case-by-case basis, followed the criteria for targeting dealers for termination. GM was inconsistent and retained more than 1,300 dealers that would have been shut based on sales, consumer satisfaction and profitability, according to the report.
