Love how GM is always trying to spin how less dealers is better for them. Manufacturers need volume and less dealerships clearly means less volume.

I agree that Buick is a small brand and their success or failure probably means nothing for EVs at all, but the management consultants and PR people claiming losing dealers is a benefit are obviously wrong and the brand is continuing in decline.

Losing dealers can also mean lower overhead costs. If those dealers were costing more than they were making I see how it can be spun as (at least a temporary) benefit

You can spin almost anything. That doesn't make it true.

Reality is that they are selling less vehicles since they reduce their dealer numbers several years ago.
