So? Are you saying they should keep Hummer as well because they might get sued by dealerships? Pay the GMC dealers off or give them a Chevy dealership that just handles trucks. Ford paid off every Mercury dealership in Canada when they got rid of Mercury up here. Chrysler also did something similar with Plymouth.

There is a solution for everything and in this case, complacency is not one of them. Whatever the cost, pales in comparison to what it costs to keep GMC going.
