I'm not familiar with this. Bnd on a case-by-case basis there is much more room for variation; you were apparently in the minority, as the statistics show.

In many states, there is a law stating something along the lines of
"manufacturer must supply a marketable product...blah, blah, blah, make sales." Fbodfather knows far more about this than I do. But, in short -- yes. There is a law that states GM must provide dealers with cars. They can, and do modify allocation on a year-by-year basis, I believe, but if they suspended shipment due to poor customer satisfaction ratings, the dealer would no doubt get a lawyer involved and sue under state law. GM might win, they may not...it's the trouble, time, and money they don't want to go through.

A REVIEW vid...not corporate literature. Edmunds doesn't sell the car for them, they do. And if you noticed...the rear didn't blow up when they burned out. If it had, that's legitimate abuse, and I for one wouldn't blame them if they didn't cover it. (But I suspect they would...)

I look forward to it. I only know what I've been told by "people who know". I have not gone over state laws myself...far too long, and I don't have the time.
