Polaris did the same thing a few years back. Forced a lot of good dealers out of business because their store "didn't project the Polaris image properly" or some such rot. Local Chevy dealer was forced to take on more inventory "or else". Both the chevy dealer and the ford dealer have "refurbished" their store fronts.

Unless you sold Wal-Mart volumes of machinery, nobody made any money, either. Which is why we are down to 2 multi-store dealers and neither of them local.
