Paging Fbodfather - what control does GM have over dealers? McDonald's are franchises too, but they have some kind of accountability to the corporation. Franchises can be forfeited (for lack of a better term at the moment) for failing to abide by certain corporate standards.

Given GM's current financial state I highly doubt they would do anything to shut down or harass a dealer. They need every penny that they can get.
