Does anyone (in the US) have anything positive to say about manufacturers who have more than one dealership representing them in the same city? I see one brand doing this now and both dealers are battling to retain their share of the business; if anyone is winning it would be the end users: "Place number one can sell me the same starter for such and such, can you beat that??" Please tell me this is not a new trend we are seeing that will pattern lift truck dealerships after automobile dealerships. Please....life is hard enough without this!
