Suzuki Bankruptcy, backing away from US auto market

Suzuki, Small-Car Maker, Gives Up on U.S. Market - NYTimes.com

Big deal for me, as my dealership is next door to Suzuki of Wichita. The dealer employs about 80 people and was the largest Suzuki seller for 3 years running. I hope they can get another new car franchise. Wichita does not have Audi or Land Rover, but that's a complete demographic change.

One of the major partners of the dealership also owns the Subaru dealer, which doesn't have near the marketing or manpower budget Suzuki has. Maybe he'll move the franchise to this location?

It is very nice to get their runoff business...
