NADA launches campaign
NADA launches campaign against dealership consolidations
Posted Friday, May 8, 2009, 3:30 pm in Employee News
The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) is planning to run full-page ads in the Washington Post, Politico and Automotive News to protest the presidential auto task force’s push for General Motors and Chrysler to make drastic dealership cuts, the Automotive News reported.
NADA also will organize a meeting with Congress and the task force later this month, the publication said. The ad is an open letter from NADA’s Chairman John McEleney to President Obama. It reads in part: “Cutting dealers at this time would do absolutely nothing to make either GM or Chrysler more viable,” the ad states, the paper said.
“The idea that dealer numbers should be rapidly and drastically reduced apparently comes from Wall Street advisers. Mr. President, we urge you to choose Main Street over Wall Street,” the ad says. (Automotive News)
