Isn't this old news? 1700 in total are closing? Many have already... or is this 1000 more?

Wow this really sucks to hear. Something did have to be done, but this is a surprising move.

They are closing 300 dealerships in Canada too. But how many of these dealerships sell Chevy/Buick/Cadillac/GMC and how many are Saturn/Pontiac/Saab/Hummer?

GM Announces/Notifys Dealerships to be closed
CBS Evening News reported tonight that GM has notified or will be notifying "thousands of dealerships to be closed". There is no further information on the CBS News website. Anyone hear the same or have any details?
I'm not sure if this is in relation to the Pontiac/Saturn info already annouced or more dealerships than that. ALSO anyone know which ones and when?

I heard the report coming over the TV and turned it off.
Knew about it weeks ago. Basically ineffective dealers are being killed.

I talked to a dealer that said they were going to be informed about the closings about the 14th May. I don't understand how closing so many dealers can save GM that much money.

It is not meant to "save ' them money.....
It is intended to lower the competition between them for less buyers thus increasing the profitability. As we will be paying more because the dealer "down the road " is gone.
