[QUOTE="Comp04svt, post: 16300039, member: 73358"] Yeah GM is been doing this exact thing since like '08. I'd agree with the above, Cadillac was a bit worse than the other brands on what was mandated, but I work at a Chevy store, and it was damn near all the same stuff they made the other brand dealers do. I remember back when GM started doing this stuff, I was Saturn tech. It was right when they announced Saturn was going away. Down the street was a Chevy store. Been there since the 60's. GM came and said you need to spend $xxxxxx and renovate to our new business model and look we want. Owner said no. Shortly after, GM revoked his franchise. Our group was awarded the franchise. Our group purchased the old dealer, tore it down, and built a really nice all new from the ground up store. The dealer I am at now just went through all of that with the Toyota and Volkswagen store that is next door to our Chevy dealer. The Toyota and Volkswagen stores are next to each other. They just finished renovating the Volkswagen store. The Toyota store was a run down absolute dump of dealer. He didn't want to do anything with it because he had just spent so much on the other building, but Toyota came and said basically if you don't fix this dump and renovate, then your franchise will be revoked. Needless to say, he renovated the Volkswagen store again to combine both into the same building and tore the other one down. [/QUOTE]
