I read a recent article on the closings, and it was basically saying that the larger cities will be seeing more closing than rural areas. There reasoning was because of so many dealerships competing against each other in close proximity was bad for profits. They cited examples where foreign cars dealers did not saturate certain areas to prevent the dealers from cutting each others market share. I see from the closings list here in Wisconsin this seems to hold true with the dealers listed.
