Should the automakers not take advantage of government involvement, sidestep all the legal BS associated with closing a dealership and have control over its distribution network?.

How did selling some dealers allow them to "have control" (your words) over the remaining ones?

I don't know, I thought the point was to sell cars, not create sales jobs.

How did what they do help them sell more cars?
