What makes you think GM doesn't want to use distributorships? The concept
has worked for all car manufacturers. I don't know of any major car manu.
who sells their car directly to the end-user.

My bet's on Buick (to die).

GM needs to get with the program and retire brand names that have run
out of steam.

If I ran GM, I'd cut down on the duplication between models in various
divisions. If you wanted Car X, you would have to go to (say, for
example) the Buick dealership to buy it....not price it at Buick and
then settle for the exact same body style with a slightly different
grill and cheaper upholstery from Chevy for $2900 less.

Cadillac pickup trucks? Give me a break.....

But look at the bright side: when all the franchises are "repurchased"
and everything is a GM factory store, the sticker prices on new cars
will finally be believable. If you don't want it at the
posted price, have a nice day.
