There's no doubt about that, but that 6500 needs to be cut down.. A LOT.
I think that if GM did it properly they could create an extremely profitable venture. Apple retail stores are some of the most profitable retail stores per square foot in the world because they control the experience.
I know, I know it's a big difference in the type of business. However, I'm sure that controlling the process of how your customers view and interact with your products could result in a lot more sales with a lot less hate for car salesmen.
I'm not saying it'd be easy but it's an interesting thought, not that it'd ever happen.
