Survey Says! In last week's CyberPoll, 54.7% of respondents agreed that it was necessary for GM and Chrysler to close dealerships in an effort to right-size their companies. In addition, the majority of respondents (67.7%) were not concerned about the purchase of the Hummer brand by Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery of China. One reader commented, "
GM/Chrysler operated unsustainably for years. They've needed to do this for a long time." Follow this link to view additional comments. Many thanks to everyone who has participated in our CyberPolls.
