This dealership spent $4 million on GM-mandated upgrades in 2005. It looked good enough to film several TV commercials earlier this year. And in a twist of branding a production company has just completed shooting a FORD TV commercial at this former GM dealership.
Sheridan, which opened in 1977, had a great reputation with customers who kept coming back. But not enough for General Motors, who picked this dealership as one of the 250 across Canada to be closed.
The company is not commenting on why individual dealerships have been closed.
GM plans to communicate with the customers of the closing dealerships.
The future of the auto industry in North America is being shaped by a few individual innovators, such as Neil Young who is spearheading an amazing zero emission vehicle. Young's team is commited to perfecting a clean power technology system that provides economic savings for the car owner, helps to save the planet, and enhances the security of the world.
There is still a lot to overcome if electric cars are to become part of the clean future we need. We're up against a lot.... the entire middle-east, the U.S. Government, all 50 State governments, the entire auto industry, the oil industry.....
Today there are 162,000 gas stations in the U.S. The states take in about $30 billion in fuel taxes annually, the Federal Government about $25 billion annually. No politicians are talking about this issue and how to address it.
Never mind the oil industry. Most of the automakers' business plan is wrapped around a 50X markup on parts electric cars don't need. If the US taxpayer is paying to keep these companies going it is past time for them to change. No one said it was going to be easy.
The Lincvolt Development Team is targeting the biggest electric car problems. Limited range and eventual battery replacement worries are the two biggest hurdles that electric vehicles face in the consumer market.
Lincvolt will never run out of power and leave passengers stranded. Lincvolt's batteries will last for the life of the car. Powerful Lithium Ion Iron Phosphate batteries are one of Lincvolt's silver bullets. Lincvolt's efficient 75KW generator system will re-charge these batteries before they get near the limit and dramatically extend their life.
On long-range journeys the Lincvolt generator system will cycle on and off while the vehicle is underway, automatically making sure that Lincvolt is charged and ready for any power challenge.
On daily commutes, Lincvolt's 75-mile all electric range will allow zero tailpipe emissions. The electric grid is getting smarter and cleaner every day with renewable energy sources coming online. That is Lincvolt's nightly power source. Today that is wasted power that is generated all night long.
It is going to take some hard choices for the change we believe in to become a reality. It is really time for world leaders to step up and act.
no wonder they went out of business ,you ride a bike not a chevy or caddy
