Government Motors doesn't have to make a profit because it can screw up, as they did for 25 years, because the government will bail them out. They're not really a capitalist company. Also, it is COMMON KNOWLEDGE that Japan's unfortunate earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear reactor problems have affected their car sales. Just because you don't see empty lots on Nissan, Toyota, and Honda dealerships does not mean they have not been affected. It's more complicated than you think.

Also, this area was originally for the Chevrolet Cruze. The Cruze has roots in Daewoo, and Daewoo is 'foreign.' So was the sub standard Aveo, which was produced in South Korea for seven years. Car production is global.

The last time I looked, every car dealer, regardless of manufacturer, had cars sitting in their lots, they are there for the purpose of sales.
