I'm going to bet they don't sell as hot as Marchionne wants.
Smart sales down 50%. Prius sales down 60%. (April sales.)
We may not "need" HEMIs, but we don't "want" econoboxes.

From my house...

6 dealerships within 25 miles.
18 dealerships within 50 miles.

All brands considered, I think there's way too many dealerships.
