What happens when a car dealership closes? The CSM had a followup on that Edmunds story that included this interesting tidbit: Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation, the country’s largest new-car dealer chain, agrees with the White House’s tough response, calling the Edmunds’ study “uncharacteristically shoddy,” according to USA Today. “Simply put, they’ve misrepresented the facts, and the White House is completely justified in calling them out on it,” Mr. Jackson said. Additionally, there are direct links, both to Edmunds and the CEA. It can be found he http://features.csmonitor.com/politi...om-fires-back- at-white-house-cash-for-clunkers-slam/ |
