State dealer laws must stop GM

Thank you for the June 8 story regarding GM's dictating to dealers and strong-arming state franchise laws ("GM: Pact trumps franchise laws"). 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 22

The product is GM's big problem

As a former General Motors dealer, I am astonished at the arrogance that GM executives continue to show. They have never understood or will not acknowledge that the product, not the dealers, has been the problem for the last 25 years. 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 22

A difference worth noting

I was quoted in the June 8 issue of Automotive News regarding the Honda Way as saying “It was a commitment to make products of the highest possible quality at an acceptable cost. 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 22

We need $4 fuel, not CAFE rules

Keith Crain's May 25 column on corporate average fuel economy standards was spot on ("After 34 years, CAFE still doesn't work"). 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 15

Let's tap our own resources for fuel

What did Keith Crain expect corporate average fuel economy standards to do? With the large increase in the driving population since the 1970s, is it realistic to think we would be using less fuel? I'm not a proponent of big government mandates, but... 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 15

How much will new GM disclose?

The new General Motors will be a private company subject to state corporation laws. If, instead, the new GM were under Securities and Exchange Commission regulation, there would be expansive mandatory financial reporting requirements. 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 15

Where is your indignation?

Although Automotive News has featured some stories about the terminated Chrysler dealers, I must say that I am extremely disappointed by the lack of in-your-face news coverage of the cruel position Chrysler execs took. 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 8

It's a shame GM has come to this

Awakening June 1 to the long-anticipated news of General Motors' bankruptcy filing, I was a little mad and a little sad. 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 8

So much for loyalty to GM

I read a story in The (Charleston, S.C.) Post and Courier recently about General Motors' plan to cut 1,100 dealerships from its network. 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 8

Ford will emerge as industry leader

I read John K. Teahen Jr.'s online commentary "Ford's debt threatens post-crisis joy" (autonews.com). 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 8

New GM needs only Chevy, Cadillac

"GM's goal: Stores that go one-on-one with Toyota stores" (May 18) raises a question: Is General Motors designing a strategy that outmaneuvers Toyota or one that simply catches up? GM's strategy must anticipate post-2009 conditions: chronic excess... 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 1

Sable deserves a better sendoff

A photo caption on the May 4 production page said Ford Motor Co. would build its last Mercury Sable on May 18. The Sable story deserves more. 12:01 am U.S. ET | June 1

Cutting stores won't help sales

I just read about Chrysler LLC cutting 789 dealerships. How many cars and trucks does Chrysler sell every year? None. Dealers buy the cars and trucks Chrysler makes and sell them to the public. 12:01 am U.S. ET | May 25

Dealers: Read your contracts

My Pontiac franchise was taken back by General Motors in 1995 as part of Project 2000. GM paid me about $500,000 for my 27-year-old relationship, franchise, goodwill and owner and service files. 12:01 am U.S. ET | May 25

Needed: A sensible policy on energy

Regarding Keith Crain's May 4 column, "Fed-run GM: A formula for disaster": Amen. 12:01 am U.S. ET | May 18

Let's not be so fast to ditch Saturn

Peter Brown and others are quick to throw Saturn under the bus as a venture that was ill-advised and is now superfluous ("Firing dealers is no job for an amateur," Comment, May 11). 12:01 am U.S. ET | May 18

Give GM top managers a break

The six top managers from GM that sold their shares today have been unfairly blasted in the media. 5:04 pm U.S. ET | May 13

Captive lenders need our support

Support your captive. Many of us would not be dealers today if it were not for captive lenders in 1990. Same today. While banks are running, our captive lenders are stepping up. 12:01 am U.S. ET | May 11

Dealers: There is life after GM

In my opinion, GM never connected with its dealers, and for sure there was a my-boss-wants-this kind of attitude when the reps came in. Those field people were order takers and yes men. 12:01 am U.S. ET | May 11

Cerberus doesn't deserve the blame

Keith Crain has written columns criticizing Cerberus and its conduct as the owner of Chrysler. I take issue with his opinions. I have some knowledge, having worked in sales for Chrysler for 13 years and as a Chrysler dealer for 40 years. 12:01 am U.S. ET | May 11

Let auto guys run the industry

I am writing in reply to Mark Rechtin's April 27 column, "Fiat's minis aren't right for Chrysler." This is not the first try at tiny or small cars in the United States. 12:01 am U.S. ET | May 11

Don't like strings? Don't take bailout

In the May 4 issue, Keith Crain complains bitterly about the U.S. government's meddling in General Motors' business affairs ("Fed-run GM: A formula for disaster"). That is the price of getting billions of taxpayer dollars. 12:01 am U.S. ET | May 11

The trouble with GM is its management

After years of watching General Motors decline, I am convinced that the troubles at GM lie squarely at the feet of management. It is customary to hear every excuse under the sun; i.e. 12:01 am U.S. ET | May 11
